Alex Torrance

Lead Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in June 2010, and over the past 16 years I've been fortunate to care for a wide variety of patients. I'm passionate about providing high-quality, compassionate care and helping pets live happy, healthy lives. I also hold a GPCertExAP (General Practitioner Certificate in Exotic Animal Practice), which means I have additional training and experience in treating exotic pets, as well as dogs and cats. When I'm not at the clinic, you'll usually find me out running, canoeing, or exploring the outdoors with my own dog, I enjoy staying active, and I like to bring that same enthusiasm and dedication to caring for every pet that comes through our doors.

Karen Butt

Head Veterinary Nurse

Hi, my name is Karen and I attended Berkshire College of Agriculture and qualified as a veterinary nurse in 1988. I started out volunteering at my local veterinary practice doing Saturday work initially for 2 years. Once I left school I was offered a trainee position. I have worked in practice for the last 39 years. I love anything to do with animals and medical so this was an obvious choice. I have worked at St Runwalds for the last 18 years, now owned by Medivet. We see a variety of small animals, and every day is different. I think that's why I enjoy it so much. I have been Head Nurse for nearly 3 years. I help look after the team, your pets and the smooth running of the practice. I have a sixteen year old cat called Miffy and two wonderful, but cheeky Border Terriers called Fern and Finn.

Nothing to fault in the service provided but your costs are very high and have risen steeply in the last few years.

The only point I would like to make is that when I went to register the chip that had been put into my tortoise, the man at the other end of the phone was very grumpy about it and said it should have been done by the practice. Which makes sense, as I could have handed her to someone else I suppose and they would not have known.

We had good service from all the staff but feel strongly about bringing our dog in for medication which in the past we didn't have to. We also felt it expensive for our consultation.
