Robert Wienesen

Robert Wienesen

Veterinary Surgeon

Being a vet was something that I wanted from a young age and in 2011 it became reality when I graduated from Utrecht University. Since I have worked here, there and everywhere in the UK till I settled in to the Abbey vet surgery in 2014, and after refurbishment, the Lower Earley branch. Over time I have developed a special interest in anything scaly and feathery, your exotic pets lighten up my day with that little extra twist but don't worry your cats and dogs are still just as welcome.

In my spare time you might find me walking the dogs Sita (Stabyhoun) and Rufus (Labrador) with my partner, or on a road bike zipping through the Thames Valley. Me and my team are looking forward in welcoming you and your pets to our little surgery on Elm Lane.

Becky Sage

Patient Care Assistant

I decided early on that I wanted to work within the veterinary setting, so I focussed my education on that goal. I studied a Level 3 Extended Diploma in Animal Management through Merrist Wood College in Guildford and then developed my understanding of animals further by obtaining a FdSc in Animal Behaviour and Welfare at Kingston University. I believe that understanding behaviour is a key part of working with animals and how we act can influence any situation.

At home we have three family dogs; Talia and Amber were rescued from the streets in Romania, while Barney (pictured) my collie cross was adopted as a puppy through the RSPCA.

Adrian Caunter

Adrian Caunter

Regional Director

I qualified in 2006 from Bristol University and also have a degree in Veterinary pathology. Since then I have worked mainly within first opinion practice but also within Emergency clinics and at a cat only referral centre. I have also completed a post graduate certificate in surgery.

In the run up to joining Medivet I spent 5 years as a Head Vet helping to set up a brand new state of the art practice which combined a bespoke practice management system, gold standard customer service and care and a uniquely open approach to client involvement.

I am now the Regional director for the Berkshire, Hampshire and part of the Surrey region and enjoy working with my clinics to help deliver the values and the service that myself and Medivet believe in.

Outside of work I love to travel and to learn or experience new things especially when it comes to food!

Area Manager

I first qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 1997 and have since progressed through the roles of Head Nurse, Internal Verifier and Nursing manager to my current position as Area Manager.

I particularly enjoy the HR side of my work and love supporting and helping the team members grow in their own careers. Outside of work most of my time is taken up looking after my children and my two cats!
