Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

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.

Great session with the Vet I met for the appointment
A bit too much of a delay that cause some delay in the morning for me and a bit of stress for my cat which was really agitated in the carrier
But great conversation and advice from the doctor which was super helpful and caring for Pepsi

I am extremely disappointed with the service provided by this clinic in Watford. I delivered a urine sample from my cat — a sample that was very difficult to collect — so the vet could investigate a possible urinary issue. For three consecutive weeks I visited the clinic asking for updates, and no one could provide any information. Only after this long period was I finally informed that the sample had been lost. Losing such an important sample is highly unprofessional and irresponsible. The lack of communication and transparency was even worse. When I went to the clinic to express my concerns, instead of receiving support, I was told to contact the customer center by phone to request my refund. I do not think this is fair. The clinic should take responsibility and resolve the situation directly — not require me to spend hours on the phone to fix a problem caused entirely by them. This adds unnecessary stress on top of an already frustrating experience.

Staff here went above and beyond for my dog in an emergency situation. My dog had ingested chocolate by accident and they dealt with it quickly & professionally after he became severely unwell. They also diagnosed an underlying illness during this time which I may never have known about and has potentially saved his life. The overnight emergency staff were amazing but I also have to mention Mel who went above and beyond and listed me down some advice for his new condition going forward, for this I am eternally grateful.

Considering the nature of the business, it was really upsetting and disappointing to experience several members of empathetic and impatient staff. Their tone towards myself and my sister was rude. It’s a shame that they don’t recognise that the people visiting need compassion and empathy and understanding and not to be snapped at or made to feel like a nuisance for caring about your pet.
I am a huge fan of Medivet Marston Moretaine but was extremely disappointed with the Watford branch. It leaves me questioning how much care and attention was given to my pet when the staff were so impatient, stressed and rude. I don’t feel happy now knowing I used their service and wish that I had taken my now deceased pet to alternative 24 hour vets that was closer.
I hope that no one ever treats any of those staff when they’re upset with a very sick pet as they did to me.
