I grew up in Kent and qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2012. I joined this practice shortly afterwards and have continued to pursue my interest in advanced dentistry ever since. At home I have my two cats, Optimus and Furiosa, who enjoy living in the countryside as much as I do.

After working as an RVN for two years I decided I wanted to take the next step to be a qualified vet. After a few years experience in other practices I joined this practice in September 2022, which is great as I live locally with my 4 cats and baby boy.

I was recommended Medivet by a friend and I’m so pleased with the level of care my cat Tabitha received. After my previous vet told me numerous times nothing was wrong with Tabitha I knew I needed a second option. I booked an appointment at Medivet and within minutes of examining her the vet could feel swelling and ordered an x-ray, from which Tabitha was seen to have hip dysplasia and an issue with her knee. We were referred to a surgeon and since then Tabitha has undergone surgery on her knee and is back to her happy self. I can’t thank the team enough for not only taking my concerns seriously but being able to identify the issue and quickly referring us to a surgeon (we used Bridge Referrals who are fantastic). Thank you again, Ashley & Tabitha
