I love the group of practices we have created. I really enjoy working with people and pets alike. I have always appreciated the bond families have with their pet, which is one of the reasons we have worked so hard to create a great group of practices. I wanted to be a vet since I was a teenager. I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2004 and joined the family business, working alongside my father. I completed my RCVS Certificate in Surgery in 2009 and have since developed a team of specialists, and a 24hr emergency and hospital team, to compliment the high standard of work we provide across our primary care practices. 

I am based at Surbiton and I visit each practice regularly, for meetings, and to support the team with training and development. I am available for primary care consultations and am part of the specialist surgical team. I perform a wide range of specialist surgeries, and I particularly enjoy reconstructive and minimally invasive surgeries, such as endoscopic/laparoscopic (key-hole) techniques. A hugely rewarding part of our work is to help pets who need a second opinion, as our specialists can often really help. Surgery for pet owners is always a little worrying, but I hope our support and understanding, makes the process as easy and stress-free as possible. 

I know your pets will be in the safest of hands with us. We have a friendly, knowledgeable and experienced team, who really care about our clients and the patients we treat, which makes coming to work even more enjoyable.

I graduated in 1975 and started working as a vet in Surbiton in 1978, when the practice was known as Henderson and Keywood. Even then it was one of the most advanced practices in the area, it was one of the first Surrey practices to purchase an X-ray machine and surrounding vets would arrive with pets to X-ray!

Today we are still one of the most advanced practices. The new extension, refurbishment and investment in state-of-the-art facilities and equipment at our Surbiton Hospital, further supports our approach to integrated veterinary medicine, offering primary, specialist, 24hr emergency and hospital care.

One of the most important aspects of our role is creating a personal touch. Getting to know our clients and patients well is what I have enjoyed most, and even as the group has grown, this remains true. Veterinary medicine has become more and more advanced over the years and every practice is set-up to deliver the highest standards of care with ease.

I have a special interest in general surgery, cardiology and feline medicine and have undertaken many courses over the years. I am also qualified in veterinary acupuncture, which can be a useful, complimentary treatment for many conditions.

I started working in Surbiton in 2004, after my son, Kavit, said I was good with people and could help with reception. I have really enjoyed the role ever since I started.

The group has grown considerably, but we maintain our friendly, approachable and personal service. I am responsible for patient transfers into the hospital and the co-ordination of the specialist team that works here, alongside the primary, 24hr emergency and hospital care team.

I understand how distressing it is when pets are unwell and need hospitalisation or specialist attention. I am here to support and ease the process and keep all our clients informed on their pet’s progress throughout their treatment plan.

I know that our team will give your pet the very best of care and we are here to help whenever we are needed, round the clock. This is something I am very proud of.

A large part of my role is supporting our inpatient team, meaning that I see some of our most poorly patients, it is so rewarding to see the amazing work that all the team do in the journey from hospitalisation to the patient returning home happy and healthy.

I love getting to know our clients and their pets, supporting them through naturally stressful times is a really important aspect of my role.

I find it fascinating to watch surgeries and I have learnt so much working here. I have always had an interest in animals and chose to study Zoology for my university degree.

I have a 10 year old Russian blue called Socks. He is constantly getting into fights with other cats but is very affectionate to people!
