We are a close team who work to a high standard, but we are welcoming and not intimidating. We have lovely facilities and buildings, and all the usual good toys. We also have Cert holders in Surgery (3), Medicine (4), Cardiology (1), Ophthalmology (2), ECC (1) and 1 studying for Dermatology.
Practice Highlights
Well firstly, you can expect an excellent standard of care. For example, for every anaesthetic, we use the best drugs (only sevo gas) and everything has an IV placed and gets fluids
We have 20 minute consultations as standard and make sure you have time for work-ups and surgery.
We use a range of anaesthetic monitors, we manually chart, we supervise, we train, we record incidents and we review our practice and process in a supportive way.
