Chesterfield Ravenside Vets for Pets

I qualified in South Africa in 2000. After initially working in a mixed practice for a few years, I decided to focus on small animals. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working in Warwickshire and Surrey. In 2006, I moved to Companion Care in Chesterfield, which is now known as Vets4Pets Chesterfield Ravenside.

My main veterinary interests include small animal medicine, soft tissue surgery, and diagnostic imaging. I am passionate about providing the best care for my patients and continue to stay updated with the latest advancements in veterinary medicine.

Outside of work, I enjoy an active lifestyle with hobbies such as running, cycling, and climbing. I also love spending time outdoors walking my dogs, Doris and Hobbes. I live with my wife, daughter, two dogs, and our two adorable kittens, Sid and Nancy.

I gained my qualification from Warsaw University of Life Sciences in Poland in 2020.

Ever since I was young I have always wanted to make a difference for animals thus I decided to become a veterinary surgeon. I am very passionate about medicine aspect of the profession with geriatrics, endocrinology and feline medicine being my main areas of interest. I am also very proud of being a certified ISFM Cat Friendly Veterinary Professional.

When not in practice I enjoy crafting, collecting scented candles, good crime TV shows and psychology books. I am an official cat mom of 5 fur babies - Waldek, Czesiu, Pszczółka, Onyx and Mimi.

I qualified from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2021 and I joined the team in 2023. I am interested in all aspects of general practice, investing equally in both medicine and surgery. I am dedicated to providing excellent care and to make a difference for any animal that comes through the door.

In my free time I enjoy taking walks, playing the piano and spending time with my friends.

I graduated from Ankara University in 2020. My journey has been driven by a desire to continuously learn new things and being deeply committed to making a positive impact on the lives of our furry friends, bringing the same excitement and dedication to my work every day.  While I find all aspects of general practice fascinating, cardiology is what I am aiming to specialise in.

When I'm not diving into medical texts, you can find me concentrating over a chessboard, exploring nature on hiking trails, or simply chilling with my friends. 

I have always worked in small animal first opinion practice. I enjoy nursing and being part of a wonderful team. My keen interests are looking after the patients who are hospitalised in our care and helping support their owners with understanding their pets needs. 

I also love rehabilitation and physiotherapy for aiding older pets or those who have undergone surgery. I enjoy seeing owners with their pets in consults and giving advice. I find this rewarding and love the variety.

I love working for Vets4Pets, I find it very interesting and love working with animals. It is amazing to learn something new everyday and I'm particularly interested in animal behaviour.

I joined the team in October 2019 as a Student Veterinary Nurse and have since qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse.  Prior to this,  I studied Animal Management/Care at College and Zoo Biology at University.  Whilst at University, I spent 6 months in Vietnam studying Gibbons and Loris. 

I have 2 rescue dogs, a Maltese and a Shih Tzu called Hugo and Sue.  I also have 2 rescue cats called Fluff and Tuft and a bearded dragon. 

In my spare time I enjoy walking the dogs, scuba diving, reading and gardening.

I joined the team in 2017 and qualified as a Registered Veterinary Nurse May 2021. I left for a brief while in February 2022 to gain experience in Emergency and Critical Care but returned August 2022 as I just couldn’t stay away from such a brilliant practice and supportive team!

I have a keen interest in Feline Friendly Nursing and Medicine, Dental procedures and ECC.

I have a rescue dog named Ripley, and 3 cats, Pepper, Lola and Pixel. In my spare time I enjoy crafting, video games and exploring the Peak District.

I've always wanted to make a positive difference to pets. They are our family and to help them when they need it the most has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember.

I pursued my degree in Zoology, gaining more knowledge through fieldwork in Mallorca, studying mammals.

Advising people on how to keep the animals they love happy and healthy is what makes me happy, and being part of the Vets4pets team at Chesterfield does exactly that.

In my free time, I go on adventures with my miniature dachshund, Frankie.

🐾 I have a wonderful furry (and not-so-furry) family! 🐾

🐶 Oswald - The lovable goofball who never fails to bring a smile to my face.

🐢 Detritus - Our wise old tortoise who's seen it all.

🐰 Hazel - The giant bunny with an even bigger heart.

🐦 Linguine - Our noisy pigeon who's always cooing away.

🐌 Steven - The slow but steady African giant snail who's part of the crew.

After 5 amazing years at Vets4Pets as a Client Care Advisor I am now proudly a Veterinary Care Assistant which gives me the privilege of caring for countless beloved pets. Making sure their stay with us is nothing short of pawsitive is what I strive for every day!

When I'm not at work, you can find me indulging in my passion for wildlife through volunteer work, getting lost in a good book, jamming out to some tunes, or simply cherishing moments with my wonderful family and our furry friends.

Here's to many more wagging tails, happy purrs, and unforgettable moments ahead! 🐾❤️

After spending 3 years working in Emergency Critical Care as an Animal Care Assistant, I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to begin my nursing career with Vets4Pets Chesterfield Ravenside in April 2023. My favourite part of nursing is caring for hospitalised patients and getting to meet our lovely clients and their pets. I have 3 dogs, Swishy, Ozzy and Winnie, and our favourite hobby is walkies in the Peak District.

I had been coming to Companion Care (now Vets4Pets Ravenside Chesterfield) as a client for many years and was thrilled when I was given the opportunity to join the team.  It's a great place to work and I absolutely love my job, every day brings something new.

I was already a client at Companion Care (now Vets4Pets Ravenside Chesterfield) before I joined the team as a Client Care Advisor.

Previously I have worked at Stockport Companion Care, but when I moved south, I came to work at chesterfield and the team are delighted. i have 2 cats called Cherokee and Chinobee, and a parrot called Billy.

I have loved animals my whole life and I'm thrilled to be a part of such a wonderful team.
