Truro Vets4Pets

I qualified at Cordoba University (Spain). and moved to the UK in 2007 and have been working as a surgeon ever since, performing a great variety of soft tissue and orthopaedic surgeries in small animals. Since moving to the UK I have enjoyed many holidays in Cornwall and I decided this was the best place for me to settle and raise my young family.  I hold an AVP certificate in surgery, my special interest is orthopaedic and minimally invasive (keyhole) surgery. My compassion for my patients is what drives me to deliver high standards of service and care to our patients whilst looking after their best interests.

Deborah joined the practice in 2020 from a Vets4Pets in Leicestershire. She made the move to sunny Cornwall to be near family and we are lucky enough to be able to call her one of the Truro team now.

Deborah qualified in 2017 from Cambridge and her clinical interests lie in surgery and ophthalmology , areas she would like to focus in in the future.

Outside of work Deborah is a keen baker, especially cakes! She also likes to take long woody walks with her Springer Spaniel Morty. 

This smiley face belongs to Ece or AJ as we call her. Ece joined us early 2022 soon after qualifying in Ankara, Turkey. She has moved to Cornwall with her family including 2 dogs and cat Yogi, Cakir and Kaymak. Ece tells us Kaymak is named after the clotted cream in Turkey I feel a challenge on here as we will definitely be introducing her the Cornish clotted cream!

Ece is really enjoying meeting all our clients and their pets and getting to know you all, she has developed an early interest in dental procedures so far.

Ece and her partner are loving Cornwall and the favourite thing they have found to do so far is fish and chips on the beach watching the waves. Embracing the Cornwall life already!

Beatriz joined the practice in 2022 after  graduating from Santiago de Compostela University (Spain) in 2021.

In her spare time she enjoys all water sports such as scuba diving/wakeboarding/surf. We cant wait to be able to show her a Cornish summer with those hobbies!
