Walter

Veterinary Surgeon

Dr. Walter Natoli, DVM, initially trained as a Veterinary Nurse at the University of Central Lancashire. Subsequently he gained his veterinary medicine degree from Bologna University - Alma Mater - in 2016, receiving the Italian national award “Massimo D’Acierno 2017” for best thesis in exotic animal medicine. Walter’s love for reptiles starts at the age of 12 with his first rescue green iguana “Iggy”. During university, his keen interest in genetics brings him to start breeding bearded dragons of all colours and morphs, creating “Hellenic Dragons”. Following a few years work in Italy, with collaborations including exotic animal hospital “Modena Sud”, becoming secretary of “Linnaeus association” and member of the Italian Exotic Animal society “SIVAE”, he moves to the UK in 2020. Here he becomes part of the Medivet team, where he deals with small and exotic animals of all sorts, whilst studying to become a European Certified General Practitioner (GPCert) in exotic animal practice. Walter is of Sicilian and Greek origin, he enjoys time with his cat Kanye, bearded dragons, house plants, as well as long walks on the beach with his partner and Dobermann Febo.

Head Veterinary Nurse

I joined Medivet in 2007 and started my training to become a qualified Veterinary Nurse at Medivet College in 2008. I qualified in 2011 and started at Danbury as Head Nurse from then. I love my job as I get to see different animals and cases every day. Being part of one practice for so long I feel I have good relationships with the clients and their pets. I have 2 cats of own, both rescues from work, Smudge and Colin. I have a horse called Freddy and a tortoise called Pav.

Veterinary Nurse

I started working with Medivet at Hockley in 2003 and qualified in 2007. I was then Head Nurse at the South Woodham branch for 5 years. I decided to gain more experience working at a practice outside of Medivet and did night nursing for a year and a half which increased my knowledge in emergency and critical care nursing. I have two daughters, a husband, two Jack Russell’s, a horse and have just acquired a pony for my girls! I started working part time at Danbury in September 2022. I enjoy theatre work (monitoring patients under anaesthetic), nurse consultations and helping with student nurse training.

Water see my baby jasper he was patient with him as he is a shy boy Walter is always open to discussion with more advance owners with sugar gliders and offered alternatives which is great.
Hes very kind and calm with the babies on the 2 occasions I have seen him.
Along with lizzy who is also amazing I personally hope both vets choose to stay with the surgeys long term as they are a fantastic edition to the exotic world and theres not many with these expertise in essex and all encounters have been wonderful not just for myself but for my babies.
A big thankyou to both of these vets
