Dr Rolf Lamprecht
Veterinarian
My career choice as a veterinarian was born from my love of nature. From childhood the scientist in me yearned to explore wild places and the creatures that occurred in them. I have an urge to find out how things work. My job as a vet in Knysna very much fulfills this yearning. As a mixed practitioner I encounter a myriad of different challenges every day. In the morning I might be out with cattle or horses, and later that day find myself doing intricate surgery on a dog or cat. I love the combination of mental and physical work and I also get the oppurtunity to do a fair amount of wildlife work. I am very much a family man enjoying raising my children in this beautiful area with my supportive wife.
Dr Jeanne-Marie Eksteen
Veterinarian
I was born and raised in Vaalharts in the Northern Cape. After qualifying from Onderstepoort in 2005, I moved to Sedgefield. Soon after getting married in 2007, my husband and I moved to the UK where we lived for 7 years, working, travelling and gaining experience. I love hiking and running, especially trail running. We have two lovely lively little boys, who are growing up on a farm where we can all enjoy and appreciate nature and being outdoors.
Dr Johan Eksteen
Veterinarian
Hailing from the Northern Free State, and after qualifying from Onderstepoort in 2004, I first joined the Knysna Vets team in December of 2004. Together with my wife Jeanne-Marié we moved to the UK in 2007 where we both gained valuable experience in veterinary practice until we returned in 2014. Since returning home we have been blessed with two lively boys.
