Veterinary Care Assistant

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, and apart from missing Latin music, he loves 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!

When he’s not in the Practice he is playing one of his many musical instruments, loves a game of tennis and the occasional glass of whisky!
