About Us

We are a long-established, proudly independent practice in the centre of beautiful Edinburgh. We have a friendly, welcoming team providing a supportive environment for all staff to thrive. We enjoy a good working atmosphere and have many long-standing team members.

We offer Karl Storz laparoscopy, video endoscopy, doppler ultrasound, ECG, digital dental x-ray, Tonopen, slit lamp, full in-house laboratory with IDEXX Procyte and Catalyst analysers and DR x-ray equipment. Our team has a wealth of knowledge and experience including a certificate holder in endosurgery, and special interests in ophthalmology and ultrasound. We are happy to mentor new vets to develop their skills and passions.

We have achieved the RCVS Practice Standard Scheme accreditation for all four of our branches throughout the city.

We hold regular team meetings to keep up to date with new ideas and protocols, and to strive for continued clinical excellence.
