Practice Owner and Head Veterinary Surgeon

MRCVS

Read Victor Okoli bio

Having qualified as a Vet I now have had over 10 years experience in small animal practice dealing with complex cases. I have a special interest in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery, and I am currently studying for the Certificate in Small Animal Surgery and Orthopaedic to improve my skills and further my knowledge. I have a lovely cat, called Annabelle, who is part of the family.

I love caring for, and working with, animals and have in the past volunteered in Kenya where I looked after both domestic and wild animals.

I feel very lucky to have joined Vets4Pets Buckingham in April 2019. I am loving it here, the team is amazing and I am really excited to now be the owner of this fantastic practice..
