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.

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.
