Ida Bramberg

Branch Partner

My name is Ida and I am the branch partner of Medivet Chester le street, I have been with Medivet for a long time and originally work in Liverpool before upgrading to the north east. I have a special interest in internal medicine, particularly in dogs, and I’m passionate about providing the best possible care for both pets and their owners. Building strong relationships with my clients is just as important to me as treating their pets, and I strive to offer compassionate, thorough care in every case. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our dog, Atticus, who came to us all the way from Hungary. In my free time, you’ll often find me reading or enjoying quiet moments with my family

Veterinary Surgeon

I graduated from the Veterinary School Faculty, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 2017. I started my veterinary career working in the livestock sector as a public veterinary officer in Greece. After working there for 8 months I realized that this job did not fit me. For this reason, I started working in a first opinion veterinary practice, where I dealt with a great variety of first and second opinion cases. Then I decided to start a master’s degree program in small animal internal medicine in order to expand my knowledge base and work experience. After finishing my master’s degree, I moved in the UK and I joined Medivet Chester-le-street. I’m a cat person and a proud mum of two male cats. My favourite field of veterinary medicine is feline medicine (of course)! In my free time I enjoy a cuppa, cooking, exercising and playing the accordion!

Hi I’m Heather, I’ve been here since I left school in 2021. I jumped right in with no proper plan but to go ahead with the veterinary care assistant course. It came with its challenges but it was such a good course in the end. With the love and care I have towards all pets I am glad I now have a position as a patient care assistant and receptionist, greeting your furry pets at the door and seeing the behind the scenes of a brilliant and supportive team of veterinary staff! I have two cats called Dodger and Flump and a crazy spaniel called Jess.

I joined the Chester-le-Street practice in November 2020 as a CCA, after taking early retirement from teaching for 30 years. My true love has always been animals, especially dogs. So it wasn't a surprise when I ended up working at the vets. I am a girl who loves Border Collies. I only have little Mist now, who has a beautiful soul and keeps me busy. In my spare time, I love reading and shopping (A lot!)

Practice Manager

Hi, I'm Beth I started with the practice in September 2024, having previously worked as an RVN at one of our other branches. I was an RVN for a number of years in different practice across the North East, including referrals and feline only. I felt a change of pace was needed so decided to step away from the clinical side of veterinary, however I do love coming to meet all of your lovely pets to get my fix, especially any staffies that are in the practice! You may see me around the practice accompanied by my sidekick Sassy the Chihuahua; at home I also have 4 cats and a horse who all keep me very busy.

As always very professional and friendly staff throughout the practice which is clean & informative without providing too much information. Appointment was on time. What made it extra special was the vets remembering my previous dog who I'd lost to cancel 10months prior.

Very friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring. Prices are reasonable . I have used them on many occasions with various small animals as well as my German shepherd's. Parking is a little difficult at times due to the location.
