Dr Johann Viljoen

Dr Johann Viljoen

Veterinary Surgeon

I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon BVSc in 1992, from the University Of Pretoria, South Africa. In 2002, I did an extra 3 year post-graduate degree BVSc (Hons). The University of Pretoria is the only veterinary facility in South Africa, but it is regarded as one of the top learning Institutions in the world. I'm very proud to have received my qualifications from the University of Pretoria. From 1992-1995, I worked in Namibia as a mixed animal practitioner (small animals, cattle and horses). From 1997, I owned a successful Private Practice for 15 years, where I realised my true compassion is with Small Animals. I have a special interest in the daily interaction between the pet, the owner and the vet. On a medical note, I enjoy all types of surgery, difficult medical cases, ophthalmology and ultrasonography. At home, I have female Labrador called "Nina" She was born deaf. She is very obedient to my hand signals and is the love of my heart. My male cat, "Josef" is an absolute character on his own, and no words can describe him, nor his moods! I love to listen to classical music. After a hard day's work, I love gardening. I'm addicted to most sports, especially rugby, golf, cricket, gymnastics and Korean martial arts. I love travelling and have attended 4 World Congresses across the globe and more than 50 other smaller Congresses. I believe that the "Human-Animal Bond" is one of the most emotional experiences there is in life. As a Veterinarian, I always endeavour to appreciate this very special bond. I joined the Medivet family as I believe they share the same values.

Patient Care Assistant

In the past I have regularly volunteered at local rescue centres, helping to look after, and exercise, dogs, cats, and farm animals. Working with animals is something I have always loved and wanted to pursue. I love my job and learning about all different animals, and I'm hoping to go to college to complete my training and become a veterinary nurse.

I have a Staffie puppy called Blue, who is my spoilt little baby! I enjoy spending my spare time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading, going to the cinema, travelling, and being in the sun.

My name is David Roberts, I am the Merseyside area manager. Prior to this role, I spent my entire career at Medivet Orrell Park. I began my employment at Orrell Park in 1998, I started out as a student nurse, later qualifying in 2002. In 2005, I was made head nurse of the clinic, a position I was so passionate about. I was responsible for ensuring patient and client care remained paramount, whilst leading my team to achieve this goal. In 2018, I began a new career chapter as Merseyside area manager, overseeing all clinics within the region.

Outside of the working environment I enjoy spending quality time with my family and friends. I am blessed to have an adorable 5 year old step son called Myles, who is a pleasure to be around. I have a cat called Gizmo who I have had from a few weeks of age after adopting him from a rescue centre.
