Meet our team

Caring, Professional, and Dedicated

At The Vet on Richmond Hill, our team is at the heart of everything we do. Each member has been hand-picked by our experienced veterinary leadership team for their passion for animals, commitment to excellence, and ability to deliver the highest standard of clinical care and customer service.

Beyond their expertise, our vets and nurses are chosen because they truly care not just about medicine, but about the pets and families they support. They undergo specialist training to ensure they provide compassionate, professional care, making every visit as stress-free and reassuring as possible.

To maintain our high standards, we hold regular formal feedback sessions to support their clinical growth and career development. Many of our vets are undertaking or have completed advanced certifications, ensuring we stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine. With a shared dedication to continuous improvement and patient-first care, our team is here to give your pet the best possible veterinary experience.

Maria – Senior Veterinary Surgeon

Maria graduated with distinction in Greece in 2019 and has worked in the UK since 2022, originally leading a branch of our independent extended team in South West London.

Having previously been heavily involved in the running of her family’s emergency veterinary surgeries back home in Greece, Maria is looking forward to leading the team and driving the service to our clients through our independent ownership with her first class experience of small animal medicine and all procedures undertaken in general practice.
