Dr Tom Evans

Dr Tom Evans

Partner and Veterinary Surgeon

Having always wanted to be a vet, I trained at the University of Bristol, graduating in 2006 with Honours with a Veterinary degree and an intercalated degree in Veterinary Pathogenesis. I spent several years in a mixed practice in East Sussex before deciding to focus purely on small animals (dogs, cats and small furries), working in the Midlands and Merseyside.

I joined Medivet in 2013, becoming a partner and head vet at Medivet St Helens. In 2012, I gained a post-graduate certificate in Small Animal Medicine and have particular interests in ultrasonography and surgery. I spend most of my spare time with my wife, young son and daughter, and five chickens! I also enjoy Ironman Triathlon, marathon running and playing football with any spare time I have left over!

Area Manager

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.
