Victor

Veterinary Care Assistant

Read Victor bio

Victor is originally from Chile where he qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon in 2013. He settled in Scotland 12 years ago after meeting his Scottish wife while they were both on a trip to Argentina. She brought him back to Scotland kicking and screaming, however it didn't take long for him to realise he was born in the wrong country, apart from missing Latin music, he is in love with everything Scottish!

Victor previously specialised in small animals, in particular feline oncology. He is currently studying to sit his RCVS exam to allow him to practice in the UK and become one of our resident Vets in Kirkcaldy!

When he’s not in the clinic he is playing music, tennis or drinking whisky!

I am a qualified dementia friend and have previously worked in Accessibility supporting customers with a range of mental health, physical mobility, bereavement support and learning disabilities. Customer care is a huge passion to me. Right from the beginning to end of life care. I take pride in my compassion and care for our customers and their pets. I love meeting all the gorgeous pets coming into the practice and creating relationships with the customers.

My husband and I have a gorgeous ginger tabby called Jasper. He's the apple of my eye. A very stylish kitty, who wears a different bow tie every day. When I'm not at work I'm normally running around after my full of energy crazy little 2 year old son. Out hill walking and enjoying the outdoors with my husband. Or spending time with my girl gang relaxing over a cheeky glass of gin.
