I graduated in 2005 from the Royal Veterinary College and went into mixed practice for the first five years. I then spent seven years at a small animal charity where I developed two interests: surgery and behaviour. During this time, I gained experience in advanced soft tissue surgery and completed an MSc in applied animal behaviour. Since coming to Medivet in August 2017, I have continued developing my interests further by learning keyhole surgery and obtaining my RCVS Advanced Practitioner status in companion animal behaviour. I have recently undertaken more of an inpatient role within the hospital and am really enjoying further study in internal medicine.

I qualified from Cambridge university in 2009 and worked in mixed practice until 2013 when I joined the Leamington Spa team, having developed a bias towards small animal practice. I enjoy medical cases with my main interest being diagnostic imaging. I gained my General Practitioners certificate in Diagnostic imaging in 2015 and carry out the majority of ultrasounds at the hospital.

Having qualified from Edinbugh university in 1996, I started Feldon Veterinary centres in 2000. We joined forces with Medivet in 2017 and I am thrilled to hand the baton over to Emma & Emily who worked for me under the Feldon banner first then as part of the Medivet team. I have gained general practitioners certificates in endoscopy & endosurgery and emergency medicine & surgery. I have been proud to head up the minimally invasive surgery and endoscopy services here as I am passionate about their benefits. We recently celebrated our 4000th lap spay. I also enjoy taking referrals from the wider region for complex, soft tissue and orthopaedics surgeries.

I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2021 and have been working in veterinary hospitals ever since. I have recently gained a certificate in Internal Medicine, which is an area I’m particularly passionate about. I also really enjoy caring for critically ill patients and the challenges that come with working in a busy hospital environment. Outside of work, I love travelling, spending time in the garden, and, of course, being kept busy by my two cheeky cats, Toulouse and Marie!

I then became a small animal day vet in Redditch for 5 years, starting the practice with ultrasonography and chemotherapy as well as honing my general surgical and medical knowledge. I became a night vet in South Wales for 5 years and have enjoyed emergency and critical care ever since. I joined Leamington Spa in the summer of 2020 as a night vet and relish a variety of cases.

I graduated from Istanbul University Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in 2022. After graduating, I gained experience working alongside an orthopaedic specialist in a small animal clinic, which sparked my interest in orthopaedics. During this time, I was also preparing to begin my veterinary career abroad. I then moved to the UK, where I worked as a small animal vet with a focus on out-of-hours and emergency medicine. This experience developed my passion for emergency and critical care and led me to start the next chapter of my career at Medivet Leamington Spa Hospital. Outside of work, I’m definitely a cat person! I have adopted and cared for many cats in Cyprus over the years. I also enjoy yoga, travelling, and discovering new places whenever I get the chance.

Services we offer

With our 15-minute consultations, you have enough time to ask our expert vets any - and every - question you might have regarding your pet’s health and lifestyle.

Emergencies don't keep office hours. Our hospital is open 24 hours, with vets and nurses on site and ready to see you, whatever the time.

Our 24 hour practices and external out-of-hours providers offer exceptional, around-the-clock intensive care to critically ill pets.

Acupuncture is sometimes used alongside other treatments for older pets with joint stiffness or chronic discomfort. We're happy to chat through whether it could suit your pet.

Your local Medivet practice will be able to issue an Animal Health Certificate for EU travel.

Caring for all aspects of your pet’s oral health is easy with our excellent dental facilities.

An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test used to detect certain defects in your pet’s heart.

Using a tiny, flexible camera, we’re able to view internal body parts with little surgical intervention.

We know that sometimes it just isn’t possible for you or your pet to travel into one of our practices to receive care. At times like this, our capable and compassionate veterinary teams often offer at home visits.

Quick and efficient testing at our state-of-the-art in-house laboratories is just one aspect of the exceptional care we offer.

Laparoscopic spay and other keyhole procedures use small incisions and a camera, which usually means less discomfort and a quicker return to normal walks and meals.

Our nurses run weight, dental, post-op, puppy and senior clinics. They're often the easiest first port of call for the smaller questions in between full appointments.

Our experienced orthopaedic team look after pets when bones, joints or ligaments need a closer look.

Ultrasound lets us look inside the abdomen and the heart without surgery or sedation. It's often the natural next step after blood work when something isn't quite adding up.

Vet Blood Supplies is part of the Medivet community, and together we work to save the lives of dogs across the country.

We use x-ray machines to quickly diagnose issues that might affect your pet.

Quoted one price, charged double Called about a cat we have that’s given birth today and was showing worrying symptoms. Quoted £67 for a consultation and told to bring her straight in… so we did, already stressed about a poorly cat with newborn kittens. The vet herself was helpful and gave a thorough assessment. But at checking out we were told it would actually be £130 due to being “out of hours”. This was not what we were told on the phone. I queried it, but after a stressful day I didn’t have the energy to push back properly. Wish I had now. Doubling the price, once someone’s already anxious and vulnerable, is a rotten way to treat people. Get a quote in writing before you go to this place!

Amazing team who have given back our life with our dog. I think she has met each of the staff members and many times one of them in passing will stop and ask by her name how she’s getting on. Forever thankful for all their compassion, experience, knowledge and care. She’s not the easiest patient and they have gone out of their way from day 1 to ensure her experience of being with them is a positive one. They also have fantastic facilities, a range of services and resources. We feel so lucky to be able to call this practice our vets.
