Christina

Veterinary Surgeon

Hi, I'm Christina. I'm originally from Greece but I grew up in Brussels. I graduated from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2019, and since then I've developed a strong passion for surgery, one of the areas of veterinary medicine I enjoy the most. I'm also very interested in diagnostic imaging, and I'll soon be starting a certificate in the field to further expand my knowledge and skills. I'm always eager to learn more and improve the way I care for animals. Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors and exploring nature with my dog Lexie, she's full of character and always up for an adventure. I am also a big foodie and cinephile. I'm happy being part of the Medivet family and look forward meeting you and your lovely pets

I have worked as a Veterinary Care Assistant with Medivet Thorpe St Andrew for almost four years. In this time I have built a great relationship with our clients and patients. Previously I have worked with lots of different species of animals, I particularly enjoyed working with farm animals and exotics, but cats and dogs always have a special place in my heart. I am excited to start college to become a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) and once I qualify, I'd love to work in an exotic veterinary setting. I have four wonderful cats, and a very mischievous rabbit called April. In my spare time I adore spending time with my family and friends.

We cannot recommended Medivet at Thorpe highly enough. We have been using the practice for 8 years and have consistently received an expert, professional and courteous service. Efficient and polite reception staff. Christina is an excellent vet, a pleasure to deal with and is wonderful with our two cats. She always takes time to explain things properly and we do not feel rushed. A super practice

We always have a first class service when we come to the vets. We took our cat Deity to see Gerard and he is always professional, courteous and kind. We would not take our cats anywhere else. Excellent vets.

We booked a vet check for our 6 monthly visit as we had some additional questions regarding our cats current activity levels and joint care in addition to her needing her annual vaccinations. This would usually be the vet nurses but they had no problems with us seeing the vet instead, with no additional charge (we have the pet plan with Medivet). Spent a half hour checking our cats general health with a focus on her joints and mobility and vaccine. Discussed diet plans as our cat had gain a little weight as she’s aging. Also discussed future medication options if her joints begin to bother her more. Lovely visit and felt listen too. Thank you.
