I graduated from the University in Romania 2 years ago , and I moved to the UK where I joined Medivet Thorpe Bay Shoebury Road after a short spell in Chelmsford. I really enjoy General Practice. I prefer Medicine to Surgery. I enjoy investigating many different conditions. Back home I have two pets Otto and Ozzy.

I qualified in 2010 and have been with Medivet since 2006. I’ve been at the Shoebury Road practice for three years and enjoy all aspects of my job role but am particularly passionate about emergency and poisoning cases. I also enjoy training future nurses. Outside of work I have volunteered in south Africa at a wildlife rehabilitation centre, looking after injured and orphaned animals. I also own a domestic short hair cat called Marty, who was a stray brought into the Southend 24-hour hospital.

I qualified in 2019 and took the position of Head nurse at Medivet Thorpe Bay Shoebury Road. I am "cat mad." I completed my Feline Nursing Diploma which I am very proud of. The kittens in the picture I hand reared, Fizz, Jake & Milo, which was exhausting but one of the best things I have ever done. I have 2 ragdolls at home and love them dearly. I very much enjoy being part of a team and mentoring student nurses and watching them grow in confidence in their nursing careers.

I started working for the practice in 2000, this year being my 20th year of service. I started as a part time receptionist and am now the Head Receptionist. I'm very proud to be part of the team at Shoebury Road. We pride ourselves on our good service, always putting our client’s needs first. Outside of work I'm married and have a daughter who this year has graduated as a social worker. My husband and I are foster carers for the local council. At home we have three rescue cats, Garfield, Bob and Rodney. We also have a Tortoise called Fred who is 57 years young. We're very fortunate to live by the sea, so spending time at the beach hut is a favourite pastime.

I've been working at the practice for almost six years now. I started on a customer service apprenticeship for one year. I've always had a passion for working with animals and have always worked in the veterinary industry. When I was younger, I worked as a student nurse for five years, before starting a family. At home I have two beautiful children, Tyler who is 20 and Katie who is 18. They both make me very proud to be a mum. I really enjoy all aspects of my job and feel very lucky to be working in a lovely practice with a wonderful team of colleagues.

I took my dog for her 6-month check at Medivet Thorpe Bay yesterday and am very happy. They have a new online booking system which makes things really easy, the new reception is welcoming and the team are incredibly helpful. The vet gave me lots of tips about feeding and teeth cleaning and put my mind at rest about her weeping eyes. We feel we are in good hands!

All the staff at this surgery had looked after my Dog Domino for passed 14 years and on her final day today you showed compassion care and dignity in her last few breaths and after she had passed. Thank you from all of Domino's family for you care and support over her life time. Tania

My little puppy (Rosie 🐶) goes to Medivet Shoeburyness. The guys in there are so friendly and welcoming, so I knew straight away she was in the best hands 🙌🏻 Roise was well looked after, told me everything I needed to know to look after her after her surgery. Brilliant service 🤟🏻 great staff, bloody big thumbs up 👍🏻

The care and support we’ve received from Van, Amanda and all of the staff has been fantastic. Our cat recently had to get operated on having become unwell with a prolapse. One surgery was scheduled followed by an emergency surgery a few weeks after. Both of which were easy and stress free. We were comfortable and happy our cat was in safe hands with a team we can trust. Van is incredibly knowledgeable, explains everything clearly and has the patience to answer questions and concerns. All of our insurance pre authorisations and claims were dealt with by the team which was super helpful during a stressful time. All of the staff are caring, understanding and accommodating. We have our yearly check ups for all of our cats and the service has always been amazing. We have never had an issue with getting appointments with slots available during evenings and weekends. The yearly reminder text is really helpful. I would recommend Medivet Thorpe Bay to friends and family. We’ve had amazing care and service so far and will continue to use them in the future.
