Lisca Martinez
Senior Veterinarian and Director (BVSc)
Clinics: Holland Park and Carina
Lisca grew up in North Queensland before moving to Brisbane to finish high school and attend Vet School at University of Queensland. After graduating in 1997, she moved back to Townsville for the first few years of veterinary life. It was an interesting start in a rapidly growing practice and included work at Magnetic Island and looking after the Koalas at Koala Park. She then ventured overseas travelling and working through the UK and spent a short time working in a small animal practice in Shanghai. After returning to Brisbane she has worked mainly in her local community including work at Stones Corner, Yeronga, Bulimba and Holland Park and Carina. Lisca is very excited to be back with Holland Park and Carina Veterinary Clinics and hopes to see the practices producing the best of patient care and develop strong bonds with the community.
Lisca enjoys continuous learning and has special interests in Ophthalmology and geriatric health, but enjoys all the variation the general small animal practice has to offer. Lisca’s house is home to Elton the geriatric cat, Roger the Boxer, Stella the little rescue terrier cross and 3 chickens.

Senior Veterinarian and Director (BVSc (Hons))
Clinics: Carina Veterinary Clinic
I graduated from University of Queensland School of Veterinary Science in 1996 with first class honors. Since graduating I have worked in many small animal practices including Victoria, Hong Kong, United Kingdom and Brisbane. Over the last 18 years I have lived locally and worked in busy Small Animal Practices in South East Brisbane. I have had the privilege to work with pet owners to provide a high standard of veterinary care to the local community. As I am passionate about providing the best quality veterinary health care to your pets! To ensure I provide the most up to date veterinary science to your pets, I have kept up with continuing education including multiple Sydney University CVE courses in small animal internal medicine, small animal surgery, and radiology. I also regularly attend many smaller courses, conferences and seminars in small animal anaesthetics, analgesia, trauma, emergency medicine and dentistry just to name a few. Outside of work I am kept very busy with my husband and 2 daughters, often enjoying various equestrian pursuits, the hobby we all share. Our extended family includes many much loved animals including our two cats ‘Jemima’ and ‘Tiddles’, cheeky Jack Russel Terrier ‘Peanut’ and and of course our 2 horses Rickey and Mallory Square’! I am looking forward to meeting all our clients new and old and welcoming many more as we grow the practices into the future. Exciting times ahead!

Simone Flint
Senior Veterinarian (BVSc (Hons))
Clinic: Carina Veterinary Clinic
I graduated from the University of Qld in 1997 with first class honours.
Initially working in Brisbane in a small animal and bird specialist clinic, prior to moving to the UK for period of working and adventuring! Since returning to Brisbane to start a family, I’ve been working in small animal clinics in Brisbane South.
Having been raised with a strong background in physical medicine, I became increasingly interested in how this can help our patients. In 2020 I completed a course in canine rehabilitation through the University of Tennessee. This has allowed me to integrate my experience in veterinary medicine and surgery with a deeper understanding of rehabilitation techniques to help dogs recover from injuries, surgeries, and chronic degenerative conditions. I now share my work hours between general practice work and rehabilitation.
I am passionate about providing compassionate care and a wholistic approach to improving the lives of your four-legged companions. What brings me joy is the connections I build with both clients and patients: From those early days of first puppy visits, to guiding geriatrics in mobility programs and rehabilitation to improve quality of life, right through to being there to provide support during end-of-life decisions.
Veterinary medicine is a field that is ever evolving, and I thrive on continuing education and personal development, attending regular workshops, conferences and seminars to refine and expand my knowledge, to ensure our patients receive the highest standard of veterinary care.
In my spare time, I love spending time with my soul mate and kids (2 furry and 3 furless!) We enjoy hiking and camping together, and I also love quiet times doing needle craft and puzzling.
I am also actively involved in a number of a number of community and voluntary organisation, which happily absorb any extra spare moments.
Pets at home: Elsie a 5 year old highly energetic mini foxie cross, and Pippin our 8 year old delightful, patient cat (who Elsie is convinced loves her as much as she loves him!) who was surrendered to the clinic as a stray ball of fluff at 6 weeks of age.
