Sian Humphries

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

I started here as lead vet in 2014 and quickly decided to stay and become partner. The years have flown by since then! I'm currently studying for a certificate in feline medicine. Felicity my cat came to live with me 4 years ago and is a very effective alarm clock, and Spud is a very new addition to our family. After work, I'm a keen swimmer. My love of British wildlife also takes me to Woodberry Wetlands regularly, you may well see me there with binoculars in hand. The cafe there is excellent and all proceeds go back to the London Wildlife Trust so it's a win win.

  • Veterinary Acupuncture

    Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat many conditions in both ourselves and our animals. Most commonly they are used to provide pain relief and release of muscle tension, but even the bladder and bowels can be influenced. It is now backed up by vast amounts of scientific research proving both the positive outcomes and the biological cascade that happens during and after needle placement. Many dogs can benefit, and cats and rabbits are actually very good patients and respond more strongly and more often than humans do!

  • Your vet in Finsbury Park

    Led by Veterinary Surgeon Sian Humphries, our compassionate team in Finsbury Park are dedicated to providing  exceptional veterinary care. We are conveniently located along Blackstock Road, and have been serving the local community for over 30 years.

    We look forward to welcoming you and your pet. 

We start off once a week for four weeks. After four weeks we will know whether acupuncture is working for your pet and then, depending on the condition and how they have responded, we will work out a plan that usually involves tailing off the treatment so that the effect is maintained for as long as possible. For this reason, we have a bundle price of 4 sessions which we recommend to start with.

1. They may seem a little stiffer or more uncomfortable. This just means that the dose was a bit too much, but also shows that they should respond to treatment. After a day or two they will improve again and should be better than before. However, you must tell your vet so that they can adjust the treatment next time. 2. You may see no response. This is always disappointing but does not mean your pet will not respond; it may just be that they will take a little longer or that their improvement after the first treatment was too brief or small for you to see. We cannot say that they will not respond until after the fourth treatment. Not all animals or humans are acupuncture “responders”, but about 80% will be. 3. You may see an improvement. This may occur anytime in the three days after treatment. The signs that we are trying to treat may then return before the next treatment, but this is fine. After each subsequent treatment the effects should last for longer, so that your pet may eventually not need more treatments for some time.

The needles themselves are very fine and so create minimal discomfort when being placed. Once they are in once they are not felt. They then trigger the body to block other pain messages, and cause the release of the body's own natural painkillers such as endorphins, and anti-inflammatory messages. Often patients visibly relax and become sleepy during the treatment, and in the hours to days after treatment.

Pleased with the service - only issue is that the clinic is now closed on Saturday which makes it less convenient for working pet owners. Other than that, would highly recommend.

Terrible experience both times I've gone to this branch and with dealing with the staff on the phone. Long waits with no apologies or explanation, we were given an incorrect estimate of costs from the vet and when we told the receptionist about this her only response was 'the vet was wrong'. The staff are rude and do not know what they are talking about. I do not feel confident bringing our pet there.

Absolutely the best vets I have ever used. Everyone is lovely, Sian in particular has taken amazing care of my senior cat - she can be a bit nervous and the willingness to give her some time to get accustomed to her surroundings has really helped her be relaxed at the vets. Sian and team have resolved her thyroid and blood pressure issues and she's now back to haring around like a kitten once more. Thank you!

Sian is simply a gifted person with animals, especially good with cats. She administers injections with incredible speed and even managed to get one past our cat Sid - highly impressed!! A truly gifted veterinary surgeon. Receptionist staff are well informed, friendly and helpful. Best veterinary practice in the area for my money. Thanks Sharon is incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks :)
