Dr. Kasturi Bhadsavle

Raised on a farm full of animals and birds, Dr. Kasturi Bhadsavle a Diplomate of the International Board of Veterinary Ophthalmology (IBVO), knew early on that veterinary medicine was her calling. She completed her Bachelor of Veterinary Science in 2004 and a Master’s degree in Veterinary Surgery in 2006 from Bombay Veterinary College. Her master’s research focused on cataract surgery in dogs—an area that sparked her lifelong dedication to veterinary ophthalmology at a time when the specialty was still emerging in India.

To deepen her expertise, Dr. Bhadsavle pursued advanced externships and clinical training with leading veterinary ophthalmologists in Israel, the United States, and Australia. In 2009, she moved to Australia, where she practiced veterinary medicine and later established a dedicated ophthalmology consultation service in Melbourne.
