Biography
Just like you, I can’t imagine my life without my beloved pets. I have three rescue cats (Yoga, Tigris, and Pupi), and although they sometimes wake me up before I’m ready, I still love them completely and unconditionally!
Prior to veterinary school, I studied Chinese medicine for four years. After that I obtained my veterinary medicine degree at the University of Veterinary Medicine and Pharmacy in Slovakia. Since then I have been travelling around the world quite a lot, also working as a veterinarian in many different countries, including Hong Kong, the Cook Islands, and Grenada, mainly for charity organizations.
As long as I can remember, I have always wanted to be a veterinarian. There is nothing more satisfying than being able to help an animal that is not himself and can’t explain what’s wrong with him. I think the veterinarian and the pet parent are partners in this endeavor. Working together, you and I will find a way to help your dear ones.
While I usually like to describe myself as a generalist, I have a lot of specific areas of interest within veterinary medicine. I tend to look at the body as a whole; this is one of the principles that I kept from my years as a Chinese medicine practitioner. In my practice I repeatedly find that symptoms that may not seem connected are. This helps me get to the root cause of the problem rather than just treat the symptoms.
I’ve been a veterinarian for 8 years, and I’ve done everything from volunteering in third world countries to opening a modern and successful vet clinic in the UK. I’ve helped many different species of pets, and even worked in an exotic animal hospital for three years. I also have a lot of experience giving advice remotely, and I’m sure I’ll be able to shed some light on your concerns.
I genuinely look forward to getting to know you and your pet, and helping you care for him or her in the best way possible.
