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.

Hello! I'm Grace and I graduated from Edinburgh University in 2024. I grew up in sunny Singapore, but still enjoy hiking/hill walking in the British winds/rain, and also climbing, skydiving and archery :) Veterinary wise, I have an interest in dermatology and diagnostic imaging. Looking forward to meeting you and your little companions!!

I was not told how much my bill would be and got a shock at £133 when I went to pay. Surely they should tell you at the consultation

This vet practice was recommended to me by a friend. My first visit with new puppy for first vaccination. Staff at the reception very friendly and helpful. Vet (Hannah) was very thorough and clear in giving me information about vaccinations and titer testing etc going forward. Customers waiting were very friendly too - making a fuss of my puppy and she was loving it.
