I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1981. Since then I have worked in large animal practice, worked for MAFF (now DEFRA), and then mixed practice which included work at Colchester Zoo. I worked for the PDSA for 11 years, first in Eastbourne and then in Nottingham. I joined my present small animal practice here in Nottingham in 2000, later became a director, and when Medivet purchased the business in January 2017 I became a Branch Partner. I have a particular interest in surgery.

Dr Matteo Malinverno

Dr Matteo Malinverno

Veterinary Surgeon

I am Matteo, a friendly Italian Vet. I graduated in 2013\2014 from University of Milan and I spent my first postgraduate 2 years working among different Referral Hospitals between Milan and Novara, as intern. That work experience really helped me to learn the gold standard of Veterinary Care and taught me the importance of hard work. I moved in UK in 2016 pushed by a strong desire to broaden my knowledge in Veterinary Medicine and driven by a willingness to study towards a Certificate.

I am an unconventional Vet allergic to cats and dogs but nevertheless happy and passionate in my job.
