I am originally from Italy, where I studied at the University of Bologna before moving to the UK. I started working in a busy charity and then joined the Medivet family at Watford. I have always loved surgery, and achieved a Postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2015 and an Advanced PG Certificate in Orthopaedic surgery in 2019. Outside work I love travelling and sports in general such as climbing and kayaking. I also have a very sweet cat at home called Marcella, and a very cheeky dog called Bruno.

I qualified from Liverpool University in 2007 and went on to gain my Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Small Animal Medicine in 2014. I am one of the main consulting vets in Watford but also perform a lot of ultrasounds and imaging. I really enjoy talking to owners and helping their pets when they come for a heath check or if they're poorly. I know personally how much our pets are part of the family; my children and I dote on our two rehomed stray cats, Sebastian and Pulga.

We had to take our cat there twice when our Hemel branch didn’t have available appointments. Always at least 20 mins late for no reason (we were the only ones in the waiting room both times) and rude receptionist. Vets weren’t particularly helpful either.

Although, I own a dog I thought this was a place for veterans of the Gulf War (blame me son !) I turned up and asked where the meeting was and the lovely nurses explained the situation. They were very polite when they told me I had been got by my little sh** of a son. In the end I ended up having a lovely chat with a fellow and his dad (called Discus - beautiful german shepherd with a slow eye) about artillery shells and even got my dog (his names richard, a duck hound) a nice bouncy ball. Looking forward to the next "meeting".

We’ve been clients at Medivet for years, and our experience with Seyon in Watford has truly been the best! From the moment we walked in, Seyon was incredibly friendly, attentive, and thorough. He answered every question we had with patience and impressive knowledge, showing a clear passion for animal care that made us feel our cat was in the best hands possible. His warmth and professionalism set him apart, and we left feeling grateful to have such a dedicated vet. Highly recommend Seyon to anyone looking for exceptional care!

I cannot thank the amazing team of vets, nurses and reception for taking the most amazing care of my dog. Peach was in hospital for 3 days and really got the most wonderful care. I got lots of updates and even photos of her. I’m so grateful for the level of care and compassion I received from each team member. A big thank you to Ines, Emily, Holly, Kat, Leske and everyone for keeping me updated and calm whilst I was so worried about my dog. You guys are fantastic and I’m ever so grateful!

There are some brilliant vets here who we value however recently it’s never possible to get an appointment on the day they will only offer emergency out of hours so we do now also use other vets elsewhere who can accommodate the unexpected things pets do. It never used to be like this but it does feel as though it’s become more about money making since the refurbishment which is a shame. Some of the receptionists are rude too while others are lovely it’s always pot luck if you can get an appointment and who you see!

took our dog in as she was vomiting blood, not eating or drinking and lethargic and was told we would have to "come back later" as we had not booked an appointment. the lady at reception was absolutely no help, rude and had the attitude that we were bothering her by even being there. we were already stressed with the condition of our dog and were met with absolutely no empathy or care and completely disregarded. honestly believe that woman should not be working on the desk at such a place. she seemed miserable and like she hated her job. the quality of care at medivet has gone drastically downhill. all they seem to care about is money.
