Wo we are

He particularly enjoys small animal consulting and soft tissue (especially abdominal) surgery. He also enjoys

rabbit medicine and surgery.Tony undertakes most of the canine and feline export work, for clients wishing to take their pets abroad, either to live or for holidays. His partnership duties include organising the Veterinary rotas and TB tests. Outside of work, his interests include DIY, travel, painting and photography.
