Meet the team
My name is Emma Gatenby and I qualified from the University of Edinburgh in 2013. I had always known that I wanted to be a vet ever since I could remember and I worked hard to get into vet school as soon as I left my final year of high school. After several years working as a general practitioner in small animal practice I decided to become a Joint Venture Partner with Vets4Pets after having worked at another practice since 2016.
I am currently studying for a certificate in advanced veterinary practice and am very interested in canine and feline medicine. I particularly enjoy endocrinology and gastroenterology as these cases are often challenging and treatment can make a real difference to the lives of the animals and their owners.
I live at home with my bear dog Kobi and my crazy cats, Kai and Damon. I also love reptiles and have 3 snakes.
Catherine graduated from the Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies. After a lovely time in mixed practice she returned to Edinburgh and is enjoying the opportunity to work with more dogs, cats and small furries.
She enjoys the variety of cases seen in first opinion practice, and finds dermatology particularly challenging but rewarding for the impact that treatment can have on the patient's (and the owner's) quality of life.
In her spare time she can be found exploring the local area with her dog, Moss.
My name is Lucy. I am new to the team but have already completed some of my training here.
I have four dogs and enjoy taking them walks.
In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my friends and going walks.
Aimee has been working in practice since 2009 and qualified from Edinburgh’s Telford College in 2013 after completing placements at a small animal practice in Edinburgh and GUVS Small Animal Hospital.
She has worked at Vets4Pets since qualifying. She has a very keen interest in feline nursing and a soft spot for geriatric feline patients in particular.
She completed the ISFM Certificate of Feline Nursing with distinction in 2018.
In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends and is kept on her toes with her young daughter and her cat, Poppy.
Michelle joined us in 2020 and brings with her a host of Veterinary nurse experience.
After serving Queen & Country for 26 years as a Senior Supply & Logistics Officer in the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, seeing combat in the Falklands Conflict and the first Gulf War, and as a Staff Officer at Portsmouth Naval Base for the last 7 years of my career, I decided to come ashore in 2003, for the quiet life and to spend more time with the family.
Of course life isn't like that and after working as a broadband tech for O2, customer service with the likes of Amazon, Sky and British Gas, as well as owning and operating several businesses, I finally found myself inside the veterinary profession as a complete wide eyed newbie.
Massive learning curve later our practice has now been growing for the last 2 years and I am greatly enjoying this latest part of my life.
The family have always had dogs, usually a wee Yorkie, but we have had a couple of large German Shepherds too in recent years.
No pets in my home currently but I still get to "share" my daughters dog, two cats and three snakes on occasion.
Sara has been with us since we opened in March 2018 .
She has several pets at home and does a great job fostering pets in her spare time.
