Medivet UK - Medivet The Vets Reading

Our Practice, Facilities and Services

Welcome to our friendly practice here in Reading, where our team of vets and nurses are committed to delivering amazing client and patient care.

We want your pet to live a long, happy and healthy life with you - that's why we are dedicated to delivering the highest standard of veterinary care available.

We have plenty of onsite parking available, and because the traffic is unpredictable, we offer afternoon consultations to allow you time to get to your appointment. If you have any queries, feel free to give us a call or pop in to see us.

We now hold a Silver Cat Friendly Clinic accreditation. This means that cats have a separate part of waiting room just for them which includes cat 'parking' shelf and blankets to cover the baskets, separate cat ward with hiding boxes and two Cat Advocates - a vet and a nurse who will ascertain your cat endures least stress possible.

Entrance and Parking Details:

Main entrance at the front of the practice. Private car park at the front of the practice.

Justyna Borkowska-Rozanska

Lead Veterinary Surgeon, Cat Advocate

I decided to be a vet (like my parents) when I was 8 years old, never wavered in my decision and never regretted it ever since I graduated from Warsaw University of Life Sciences in 1996. I came to the UK 9 years ago and joined Medivet in 2016.

Now, being an experienced vet, I aim to reduce level of stress for my patients, their carers and my team during the time spent in practice - to minimum. Human - pet bond is something very special and it needs to be cared for in every way, clinical and psychological. My four pets, cats: Azur (British Shorthair), Safir (Russian Blue) and dogs: Phoebe (lurcher) and Tissaia (Borzoi) diligently help me to understand what my clients sometimes have to go through!

I love my job and it seems I passed the love to the profession down the family line as two of my three children decided to work in veterinary environment too :-)

Claire Montgomery

Head Veterinary Nurse

I have worked for Medivet for the past 5 years, completing my training in November 2016 to become a qualified nurse. I have been head nurse at the Reading practice since December 2016 and I am enjoying the new challenges it brings.

I have a particular interest in emergency and critical care and the nursing of wildlife and exotics - which stems from my degree in wildlife biology.

Outside of work I enjoy getting out and about exploring new places. I also enjoy looking after my cat, D'Artagnan and my dog, Eddie.

Elisabeth Walters

Student Veterinary Nurse, Cat Advocate

I have always had animals around at home and in most of my jobs, so training to become a veterinary nurse is ideal for me. At home with my husband, we have a cocker spaniel called Toby, a gorgeous rescue cat Sydney and a few fish too!

I really enjoy being involved in the nursing care of all our patients and like getting to know our clients as well. Being at college alongside working is a great way to learn and I am looking forward to qualifying next year to continue in the job I love.

I have BVSc CertVD MBA MRCVS qualifications and began working at Medivet in February 2002. I gained my veterinary degree in South Africa, and also have an RCVS Certificate in Veterinary Dermatology, as well as an MBA from Henley Business School.

At home, I have four cats (Yeti-Lou Chickens, Nufus (our hero), Zweedle-Hic Hixx, and Zaphod Michael Beeblebrox), a dog (Oxymandias Apostrophe Etcetera Hixx), and two snakes (Scarlett and Sid)! Outside of work, I enjoy cycling, going for walks, watching films, and spending time with my friends.
