Meet our Partner, Van Hua
I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon 26 years ago and have been with Medivet Thorpe Bay Shoebury Rd for 13 years. I have a special interest in surgery and exotics and as well as gaining a certificate in Small Animal Surgery, I have a masters in Aquaculture (fish). When I’m not working, I like spending quality time with my family and my work family. I like to keep fit by indoor cycling and I like the occasional tipple of red wine.

The vet that completed a health check on Hugo (my Yorkshire Terrier) was very professional and gentle with him and checked him thoroughly and gave great advise.

Phenomenal service every time we visit. We have two older cats and they are so caring, kind and thorough. We are so grateful!

Great veterinary surgery with caring vets, it has changed over the years and is now part of Medivet, which has affected the prices of certain things but what prices haven’t gone up in general, all I can say is that I will continue to use the Bournes Green practice, we also have been to the Danbury practice as Mr Kruger is the bulldog vet , amazing people vets, a big thank you from us xx

The vet practice is great, staff are really good, kind and supportive, Van is a very good vet, great knowledge and understanding of pets problems and able to advise appropriately which is greatly appreciated, however we have been clients of bournes green practice for many years and we did notice the inflation of prices when it became a Medivet.

The vet we saw was very caring and listen to all we described with our pets problem.
