I am originally from Italy, where I studied at the University of Bologna before moving to the UK. I started working in a busy charity and then joined the Medivet family at Watford. I have always loved surgery, and achieved a Postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2015 and an Advanced PG Certificate in Orthopaedic surgery in 2019. Outside work I love travelling and sports in general such as climbing and kayaking. I also have a very sweet cat at home called Marcella, and a very cheeky dog called Bruno.

I qualified from Liverpool University in 2007 and went on to gain my Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice in Small Animal Medicine in 2014. I am one of the main consulting vets in Watford but also perform a lot of ultrasounds and imaging. I really enjoy talking to owners and helping their pets when they come for a heath check or if they're poorly. I know personally how much our pets are part of the family; my children and I dote on our two rehomed stray cats, Sebastian and Pulga.

I thought it was really good experience until they didn’t check properly my dog before travel. I paid for health certificate they supposed to checked him. During the travel my dog suddenly died. Same day ! We had appointment in the morning doctor said everything is fine!!at 16:30 my dog passed away!!!!!! Really??? He was only 2,5 years. I can not understand why doctor didn’t check his health. She was trying to check his breathing but she told me that he stress too much and she can not check. And she gave me health certificate? It’s not professional. Only money nothing else is important for them! My puppy had heart attack 😭😭 maybe if the doctor make her job properly my baby could be still alive!!! Horrible experience!!!!!! I felt safety with this practice before I trusted them!! Disgusting behaviour!!! Avoid !!!!!!!

They have been taking care of my cat ever sincer I got it and i wouldn’t change the practice for nothing. True to be told my cat didn’t have many accidents but he did have some scary incident and the practice helped us very well.

This was my first time coming with my cats & they were seen by Georgia, she took such good care of them and made them feel comfortable even though it was their first time ever in a vet! she also answered all of my concerns and reassured me throughout even though i was anxious for them :) It was a quick and easy appointment for their vaccines and check up and it was all thanks to Georgia! You can clearly tell she really cares about all the animals she meets so if you come to medivet, i do recommend her wholeheartedly! I also would thank the reception team for being so kind and helpful :)

Phoned this morning and was seen four hours later. Most excellent care for our dog. Kind and considerate vet. Not adding extra unnecessary cost to the consultation. Really happy with their service.

Reluctantly tried this branch as I am very fussy with my dog. Was astounded by such amazing vets Georgia and Holly. Both were so proficient and thorough and at the same time compassionate, caring and gentle with my tiny dog and when she had to stay overnight, a nurse also called Holly was like an angel. So loving and gentle and caring, that I knew my baby was in good hands and I felt a weight had been lifted. Vet Holly even telephoned me a week later just to catch up on how my dog was doing. What a service! My only regret was that I didn’t meet this team earlier when my baby was a pup, as I would gladly have travelled a long distance just to be under these vets!

Good service, nice receptionists and knowledgeable vets. Easy to book an appointment. Unfortunately the appointment always happens at least 15-30 mins later than the time booked, even if the appointment is first thing in the morning!
