Branch Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

I've been at the practice since 2014 and became branch partner in January 2019. I enjoy all aspects of being a vet and hold a post-graduate certificate in small animal medicine. I love meeting new people and their pets, as well as seeing all of the old favourites back for visits. In my spare time, I am normally out running, socialising, travelling or walking my naughty chihuahua, Mo.

A big thank you to the whole team at Medivet Potters Bar for the loving care and support you’ve given to our one and only Max. We couldn’t have asked for more or got through the last 6 months without their devoted help and care. Thea and her team go above and beyond. An absolute credit to Medivet and we as a family will be forever grateful.

Decent care but constantly upselling to charge you as much as possible. My best guess would be that the staff have sales targets to meet, as every time I go in there I get the impression that they will do whatever they can to perform additional yet unnecessary procedures or sell you food/supplements at double the original price. One particular medicine that was prescribed for my pet was 40% more expensive than a vet directly opposite quoted. Changed vet as a result - do not recommend. If you are going to take your pet here, be weary that the staff will attempt to upsell.

Crawley's Story


Crawley came into us for a routine health check as part of the Medivet Healthcare Plan. Our vet Thea gave him a thorough check over and noticed that he had a lump on his left hind leg. Aspirates were taken for cytology which revealed that the lump was a mast cell tumour - a cancerous skin tumour. These tumours can also affect other areas of the body, including the spleen, liver and gastrointestinal tract, so staging firstly included a full blood count, and an abdominal ultrasound scan with samples of the liver and spleen taken. Fortunately, these came back all clear, so Crawley was given the go ahead for surgery.

Surgical excision of mast cell tumours is most successful where wide margins can be achieved. For this reason, Crawley was transferred to our Enfield hospital, where our experienced surgeon Dave was able to remove the lump. Due to the awkward location on the back of his leg, an ipsilateral caudal superficial epigastric axial pattern flap was required to close the wound. This involved removing a portion of tissue from the underside of his body and wrapping it round to the back leg to close the wound. A suction drain was placed to allow excess fluid from the surgical site to drain. Crawley recovered remarkably well from surgery.

His wound required a lot of maintenance including emptying the drain and cleaning the site daily. His family were very dedicated and committed to helping him heal successfully. He had lots of follow up checks with the nurses and vets and finally, after around 4 weeks - he was given the all clear. The histology report deemed that the cancer had been fully removed with adequate margins which was fantastic news. Crawley has been an absolute superstar and we are so pleased that we have been able to look after him.
