Andrea Centinaro

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.

It would be really helpful if you could provide in advance info about how to access the car park. The one way streets make it really difficult. I didn’t know the area at all and ended up carrying a heavy cat and crate a long way from a local car park. I’m elderly and struggled! I was not the only customer at that time to have had the same difficulty.
I was seen just 15 minutes later than my appointment time - and I’m very grateful to have been given the urgent appointment.
