Advanced services

At Vets for Pets, we have invested considerably in our team and kit to make a number of advanced services available to our clients. We also accept referrals from other practices.

Orthopaedics and fracture repair

Our veterinary team have undertaken advanced training to allow us to perform orthopaedic surgery in our practice. If your pet develops an abnormality involving their skeleton or joints, such as elbow dysplasia, a patella (kneecap) that gets stuck, or a torn cruciate ligament, an orthopaedic procedure may help them.

Laser therapy

Laser therapy is non-painful and involves directing infra-red radiation into inflamed or damaged tissues to accelerate the body’s natural healing process. It is often used for musculoskeletal issues such as arthritis, but the benefits of laser have been suggested for a range of conditions.

I graduated in 1998 and since then have worked with small animals and horses in India, Malaysia and the UK. I've worked for a London based animal charity in which I saw a wide variety of animals and found it greatly enriched my experience of being a vet. I then joined a very friendly and enthusiastic team at Vets4pets in Charlton for more than two years which helped me gain experience in customer care and running a surgery.

I decided to start my own practice in Essex as I've been living there for about 10 years now. My keen interests are in orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery. I'm excited to welcome you to Vets4Pets in Basildon Pipps Hill, please drop by and say hello. Me and my team will strive to give you and your pets care and support at the utmost level and with a professional attitude.

We are always striving to offer the best care for your pets and are always updating our knowledge and equipment to achieve this. I'm excited to provide services like endoscopy, keyhole surgeries, dental X-rays, specialist surgeon visits for complicated cases, easy access to a local CT scanner. I'm currently studying for post-graduate qualification in Small Animal Surgery and looking forward to improve the clinical standards and treatment options to my patients.

At home I enjoy being with my wife and two sons and have a keen interest in photography. I also enjoy spending time on my favourite gadgets!

I graduated in 2012 in Sicily, Italy and came in UK straight after. I worked for a big corporate group first and I gained most of my general practice skills. I then moved to work in Suffolk for 7 years and I improved my knowledge. In 2018 I became Clinical Director of two first opinion practices. Whilst following for two years a referral surgical clinic during my free time, I achieved my Advanced Practitioner Status in small animal surgeries and enjoy all the aspects of orthopaedic and soft tissue surgeries.
 
I decided to join the Vet4pet family in Pipps hill because of the interest in keyhole surgery and endoscopy/endosurgery services provided. I am enthusiastic when more difficult cases need investigation through diagnostics and look forward to look after your pet with the best quality care we can provide.
 
When I am not a passionate Veterinary Surgeon I become a competitive sailor. Me and my husband are still trying to teach our little son and our cat, Meir, how to sail. My other hobbies are motorbikes, playing piano and cooking a lot of Italian pasta and pizza.

I've had the dream to become a vet since i was 5 yrs old. I love all the animals and the feeling of treating an animal is one of the most exciting things for me.

My vet interests are mainly in soft tissue surgery but i enjoy as well all fields of veterinary medicine.

In my spare time, I love going skiing, climbing and horse riding and I enjoy spending time with my family and friends.
