Kyumi McDonald

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified in 2005 in South Korea and joined Medivet in 2007, becoming branch partner at Risedale in 2009. I've completed a programme in Equine Dentistry and Reproduction from Texas A&M University and have a masters degree in Control of Infectious Diseases in Animals. I also hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. I'm interested in small animal surgery, specifically laparoscopic and orthorpaedic surgeries. I love the relationship I have with all our clients and their pets, and am enjoying learning and progressing in my role everyday. At home I have a rescue cat called Garlie. Garlie had several serious health issues when he was first adopted, now with our tender loving care, he is totally transformed to be a happy, content and loving cat.

I joined Medivet in 2013 having graduated from the Royal Veterinary College. I started working at Risedale in 2014 and soon afterwards became a Branch Partner. I have a keen interest in Dermatology and Dentistry. I have a menagerie of animals at home including our two wonderful cats, Thomas and Layla who both came into Risedale as strays. I enjoy working at Risedale with our exceptional team but I am also very thankful to be looking after all the amazing animals which come through our door.

I’ve been training with Medivet since July 2023. I’m enjoying my journey at Medivet Risedale as we get a variety of cases and there are always lots of fur babies to cuddle. At home I have three cats called Bella, Jessie and Herbie, Herbie being a rescue from Medivet.

Lovely practice, really pleased that we moved across a few months ago, especially as between Risedale and Watford (24hr clinic) they acted on an emergency with our eldest dog not only efficiently but with a lot of care.

We got an emergency appointment with ease, the service was not only efficient but warm and friendly, but most importantly, you can tell that they really care and our two dogs are in safe hands - really important as our eldest has just had to have an emergency operation and is doing exceptionally well.

My dog is poorly and the staff immediately offered to let me drop him off so they could see him when the became free. He had blood tests and diagnosis in a few hours. Wasn't great news but they cared. They also followed up and rang to check on him the day after.
