Registered Veterinary Nurse

Charris joined us in 2026, bringing experience of a busy hospital environment, and always a warm smile. She particularly enjoys getting to know pets and their owners to offer the very best personalised care. She lives with her partner and a pack of dogs of all shapes and sizes.

BSc BVSc MRCVS 

Veterinary Surgeon

Bat-loving Jodie earned a zoology degree and spent several years as an animal rescue officer for the SSPCA before undertaking her veterinary degree, so she brings a huge wealth of experience to the practice.  When she's not at work she'll be found enjoying the great outdoors with her faithful bearded collie Rowie.

Receptionist

Susan came to us from a background in banking and so far she's enjoying the career change, despite all the weird and wonderful challenges which can crop up each day!  Calmly juggling incoming calls, messages and visitors, she's always a level-headed voice ready to help.  

Receptionist

You'll find Isobel manning reception on Saturday mornings. She's a big fan of meeting the patients and their owners, and does her best to keep her mum, Eilidh, running on time.
