Dr Andrew Prentis

Dr Andrew Prentis

Veterinary Surgeon

I set up the HPVC way back in 1998 after being the director of the London teaching hospital at the RVC because I wanted to build up a genuinely holistic practice. I am very proud of the fact that we provide a first opinion service for pets from far and wide, and also have some of the best specialist vets in the country working alongside vets using homeopathy, osteopathy and acupuncture, all supported by a great team of nurses, right in the middle of London, the greatest city in the world!

Dr Stephen Warren

Dr Stephen Warren

Veterinary Surgeon

I moved from the Isle of Wight to the busy mainland in 2002. After graduating from Bristol University I have slowly been moving across the country from Devon to the lights and glamour of London, where I met my beautiful wife Melissa. Since November 2016 I have worked at the clinic on Wednesdays and Fridays, and some Tuesdays. When not busy at the clinic I can be found attempting DIY (many projects still pending!) and enjoying everything the city has to offer. And when not at the beckon call of our cat we try and travel and explore as much as possible.

Dr Amanda Head

Dr Amanda Head

Veterinary Surgeon

I trained at the Royal Veterinary College and qualified in 2008, I first came to work at Hyde Park Vets in 2015. I have a special interest in small animal internal medicine and am currently working towards my postgraduate certificate in this area. When I'm not being a vet I spend my time looking after a small but very energetic toddler, and tries to find the time to indulge in my hobbies of photography and interior design!

Dr Lise Hansen

Dr Lise Hansen

Veterinary Surgeon/Homeopath

Coming from Denmark, I took my veterinary qualification in Copenhagen in 1993 and soon after graduating moved to the UK, where I undertook another 5 years of study (this time in Homeopathy) with the HPTG ( Homeopathic Physicians Teaching Group) followed by the homeopathic postgraduate course, Dynamis.

By the end of the last millenium, I had found my path and chosen to focus my work on the homeopathic treatment of chronically ill dogs and cats. I remain utterly excited about what homeopathy can do for my patients.
Today I am back living in Denmark, where I write, speak and practice homeopathy – while still thoroughly enjoying being a part of the team at HPVC, only a short(ish) commute away.

I have been practicing structural and cranial osteopathy for over 30 years. I treat men, women and children for a vast range of problems and have been treating animals regularly since 1989. I teach animal osteopathy at the British College of Osteopathic Medicine and at the Centre of Professional Development in Osteopathy.

I am a member of the Society of Osteopaths in Animal Practice (SOAP) and have been at the Hyde Park Veterinary Centre since its inception in 1998.

When I'm not working I can be found following my two labradors, Toots and Charlie, in the park.

Kate Cole

Head Veterinary Nurse

I started working in a veterinary clinic at the tender age of 14 and went on to train and qualify as a veterinary nurse in 2006, I've been an Assessor since 2007. I worked in an orthopaedic referral centre for 10 years and more recently in a 24 hour emergency centre, before heading to HPVC in 2014. I have a special interest in puppies, canine behaviour, puppies, nursing clinics, puppies, surgery oh and did we mention puppies? I have a 10 year old daughter who is just as crazy as her mum when it comes to animals and recently we adopted two blind guinea pigs (Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder). I now spend my time chasing them around the garden as they never want to come inside after playing out. I am also the daughter of Grandad Ray, our resident handy man.

Lynne Pinto

Lynne Pinto

Client Care Assistant

I came to Hyde Park Vets by mistake some five years ago with a plan to stay just one year. Having never worked in a vets previously my job is never dull and being part of such a friendly team keeps me on my toes – being the oldest member of the crew! As the 'face' of the vets on reception I can honestly say no two days are the same and my job is the best in the world.

Eleanor Crosswell

Eleanor Crosswell

Client Care Assistant

I came to Hyde Park Vets in 2016 via customer service and Box Office work on London's theatre scene, seeking a change in scenery (plus a secret desire to vicariously live out my childhood dream of being a vet). Animal-mad, I can usually be found in front of the receptionist's desk, giving your furry companions lots of attention and cuddles. I am delighted to have been welcomed into the Hyde Park Vet 'family', and love the variety, craziness and pace of each day here.

Leah Morley

Leah Morley

Area Manager

I moved to the UK from Australia in 2002 and found myself nursing around the country, although mainly in Central London. I then moved into practice life near Hyde Park, and never moved out! 15 years later I joined the Medivet family in March 2018 and remain in my favourite part of the UK as the Area Manager for Central London.

I love that life in veterinary practice varies every day and always seems to present new challenges and opportunities.

I am involved in the British Veterinary LGBT+ organisation, we help to support vets, vet nurses and paraprofessionals within our sector on all LGBT+ matters.

In my spare time I love a good physical challenge and I'm attempting to learn how to play the guitar, I'm also trying to convince my wife that I need a ridgeback in my life.

With over 20 years retail experience and a love of animals, it is the perfect job for me, I'm excited about developing the product ranges and customer experience in store.

I have two little dogs of my own, Alfie and Dexter, and Simba the cat to draw inspiration from.
