My name is Behzad (Ben) Ajilian.
I have been practicing companion animal medicine and surgery since graduating in 2003. My special interests are small animal surgery, emergency medicine and to some stage small mammals and birds medicine and surgery. I enjoy all aspects of Small Animal Medicine and Surgery, but have greater interest in surgery especially orthopaedics. I have strong belief in continuous professional development, which I think is essential to keep up with new developments and offer a good service to clients.

Currently I am the director and co-founder of Australian Veterinary Corporation-AVC.
As well as VetOnTheRun mobilie clinic , AVC has two Hospitals ( Harbourside vet hospital located at 6 Burroway road Wentworth Point and St Marys Vet hospital located at 49 King Street St Marys) which give us the opportunity to expand our pet care and services beyond the mobile clinic and and if necessary provide excellent medical and surgical services to our clients and their pets under our care.
My decision to start this practice was based on the frequent requests from neighbors and friends to make house calls for a multitude of reasons: Their dog was old and had trouble getting in and out of the car; their cat was terrified of car rides and turned into a hissing, wall climbing, the owners had a hard time driving themselves and were unable to get their pets in for care. Luckily, I found that I enjoyed making house calls and that the relief and satisfaction afforded to both the pets and the clients was always worth the trip.
My mission continues to be to provide quality, compassionate veterinary care in a home environment.
I love doing house calls and plan to do them for many more years.
