I graduated from Kyungpook National University in South Korea in 2005. During my final years of study, I completed an externship programme in Equine Dentistry and Equine Reproduction at Texas A&M University in the USA. I obtained a Master’s degree in Control of Infectious Diseases in Animals from the Royal Veterinary College in 2006. I became a Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons in 2007. I joined Medivet in 2007 and became a Partner at Medivet Hemel Hempstead Risedale Rd in 2009. Over the years, I have participated in various surgical training courses and workshops, and I obtained a Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2014. My passion lies in small animal surgery, alongside continuously learning, updating my skills, and mentoring new graduate vets. In 2026, I took on additional Partnerships at Medivet Redbourn Priory and Medivet Harpenden, and now work across all three clinics. Over the years, I have rescued many cats in need through my workplace, and I currently live with four cats. I am truly grateful to be able to practise care and compassion for all my patients, their families, and the wider community through my vocation. I thoroughly enjoy working with my wonderful colleagues and learning from them. I cherish every moment with my patients and their human companions.

I joined Medivet in 2013 after graduating from the Royal Veterinary College, and in 2014 I began working at Medivet Hemel Hempstead Risedale Road, where I later became a Partner. In April 2026, I was delighted to expand my partnership to include both Medivet Redbourn Priory and Harpenden. I recently completed a postgraduate certificate in small animal dentistry, an area I’m especially passionate about because of the huge difference good dental care can make to a pet’s comfort, health, and overall quality of life. At home, I have a small menagerie of my own, including my two lovely cats, Thomas and Layla, who both found their way to Risedale as strays and quickly became part of my family. One of the things I love most about working at Medivet is the people — both the wonderful teams I’m lucky to work alongside across our three practices, and the fantastic clients and pets we meet every day. Veterinary medicine has shaped me enormously, both professionally and personally, and I find it incredibly rewarding to care for my patients while building lasting, trusted relationships with their owners.

The Vet and the receptionist were lovely. But I had booked an appointment the week before to see Beth and I was not told that she would be at Redbourne that day. So I had to rebook the appointment which was very annoying. I asked for the manager to call me because I had a few other issues I wanted to discuss and she has not contacted me. Now I can't be bothered talking to her because it is too late. So my issues are with management not with the Vet.

I have just moved to the area with my two cats and both the receptionist and vet were very welcoming. The vet was charming and explained everything in detail and even although my two cats to wander around the room, rather than being stuck in their travelling bags.

Happy with the treatment provided for my pet rabbit. However, having enquired about the cost of euthanising should it be necessary, I am appalled at the cost. I want to do what’s best for my pet but simply can not afford to do so. It may be that I am forced to watch her suffer unnecessarily. Having read different reviews about what I could do to end her life, I am really concerned that these options are what many people are forced to do because of the prohibitive cost of vet treatment for a small creature.
