Hi my name is Sach, I was born and raised in London where I often spent my weekends volunteering in reptile dens. I studied in Nottingham where my time was split between Vet School and delivering pizzas for Dominos! I eventually settled down in my favourite part of the UK (Blyth) and I am privileged to have been welcomed into the Vets4Pets team in 2019.

As a vet I understand that you’re the expert when it comes to your pet, I see myself as the specialist in diagnosis and treatment, but working together we can ensure that your little one is always kept in tip-top condition. I love all creatures great and small but hold a special place in my heart for rabbits and reptiles. I also really enjoy internal medicine or any aspects of veterinary medicine that challenges me to put my 'thinking cap' on.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time on the beach with my wife and twin girls. I also love running and often take part in The Great North Run, marathons and other endurance events. I look forward to meeting you all soon!

It may be cliche, but I truly love my job! I enjoy meeting all the families and their pets - wagging tails, toe beans and scales...I love them all! 

As a mother and a pet owner my life is always busy but I wouldn't have it any other way. 

When I do find the time for myself I love being outdoors. I also enjoy figure skating, which is still a relatively new hobby of mine. 

I take pride in overseeing reception and ensuring we continue to provide a gold-standard service. We have an amazing team and I am confident I will be here to greet you all for many years to come!
