I graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1981.

I worked for the PDSA for 11 years, first in Eastbourne and then in Nottingham.

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.
