Clinical Director

Read Dr Sarah bio

Our Clinical Director Sarah officially joined us in February 2024, although she was already a familiar face at the practice.

Sarah qualified from the University of Bristol more years ago than she cares to remember and has worked with small animals for most of her career. Sarah has a particular interest in canine and feline behaviour, as well as enjoying medicine and surgery.

Sarah lives with her husband Mark, 2 young children and ginger cat Hartley. When not at work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family and friends, heading to the gym, exercising out in the fresh air and cooking/baking. She loves going on holiday, both at home and abroad, and is currently trying to learn some French. When she gets the chance, she loves to relax by playing the piano, although this can be challenging with 2 enthusiastic budding musicians in the house.

Millie joined the practice in February 2024, wanting to embark on a new adventure of working in the veterinary world. Previously working in a gym as a receptionist, she will definitely vouch that she prefers our furry friend clientele!)

Millie says she has really enjoyed the journey so far, working with such a friendly team, expanding her knowledge, no day being the same and of course… seeing all the wonderful pets and wildlife brought in to the practice daily.

Being a very avid cat lover, she has her own cat called Teddy who is always there to remind her it’s time for food when Millie comes home and maybe a treat or two! She also loves exotics and has previously owned a chameleon called Carlos.

Millie loves nature and going away on short city breaks with her friends. Loves DIY and is partial to a pub garden trip on the weekends.
