Meet our team

Our professional team of veterinarians and nurses adore animals and treat each patient as if they were a sentient being. Every member of our team has been hand-picked for their compassion and willingness to go above and beyond for our clients. They are equipped to provide prompt diagnosis and first-rate veterinary care.

Practice Manager

Stacey

Stacey started work in the Veterinary world in 1992 and she qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1999. Shortly afterwards she became Head nurse in a very busy high level orthopaedic referral practice. After 10 years she became practice manager and oversaw the entire running of the hospital. In 2018 Stacey undertook the Certificate in Practice Management and joined us at DNA in 2019.

Stacey has always had a massive passion for any size of animal from hamsters to horses! She has quite often taken pets that need a home during a day at work and has a rescue cat called Neville & a crazy staffie called Dennis.
