Jose graduated in Spain in 2017 and moved to London shortly afterwards looking for adventure and to progress in his career. Jose is the 3rd generation of veterinary surgeons in his family, following the tradition of his grandfather Jose the First. He is interested in general veterinary practice and to provide great care, advice and help in the majority of cases seen in practice. His biggest interest is food and he believes if he was a dog, he would be a Labrador Retriever as his appetite is massive. In his spare time Jose likes/needs to run (to burn off some calories) and to play music.

Chris graduated from the Royal Veterinary College in 2013, after having gained a Degree in Zoology and Master’s degree in Wild Animal Biology. After graduating from the Royal Veterinary College he remained living and working Hertfordshire in a small animal practice. Chris has recently moved back to the Medway area where he grew up working in small animal practice with a particular focus on working with exotic pets. He has a keen interest in exotic pets but still very much likes seeing and treating dogs and cats.

Outside of work Chris has a black Labrador called Colin that keeps him busy as well as two cats, Betty and Elmo and two children that keep him most busy! When not at work he enjoys running and cycling attempting to wear out the kids and Colin, as well as enjoying most other sports especially football. Chris grew up in the Medway towns so has a close affinity to the area and feels good to have moved back home again.
