Dr Sarah

Clinical Director

MRCVS

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.

Suzie joined the practice in 2019 after working for 18 years in Cambridge as part of an administration team.

Suzie says she loves getting to know the clients and pets on reception and seeing all the different species of wildlife that come through the surgery.

George is her crazy cockapoo and she enjoys taking him to the beach or the forest for day trips with her two children.

Suzie’s family are the most important part of her life and enjoying holidays in the sun with them is her favourite time of year. As for days off without the kids … well she does love a shopping trip or two or three.
