Michal Kyllar

Joint Venture Partner & Veterinary Surgeon

MVDr. PhD MRCVS

Read Michal Kyllar bio

I graduated from the Veterinary Univeristy in Brno, Czech Republic in 2003. After completing an internship in small animal surgery and orthopaedics at the University of Utrecht, Netherlands I developed a special interest in fracture treatment and joint replacement. In 2006 I gained a PhD in small animal dentistry and oral surgery. I am still involved with my home university where I still give lectures as an external specialist for clinical anatomy.

In my free time I enjoy running and reading. I have been with Broadstairs Companion Care since 2007, and in 2009 Head Nurse, Tineka Lashmar and I were delighted to become partners in the practice. Our team here is dedicated to giving pets the best care we can. We look forward to welcoming you soon.

I joined the surgery in 2014 after gaining a degree at the University of Birmingham. I am thoroughly enjoying my training, learning new skills and giving lots of cuddles , and have even managed to fit in getting married last year(2016). I have an adorable pet cat called Tatty who I have had since a kitten.

I qualified in the summer of 2017 and had an amazing presentation ceremony at London Zoo. I enjoy paddle boarding and yoga in my spare time.
