OUR TEAM

I am one of the clinical directors and have worked at Donnington Grove for over twenty years. I run the Thatcham surgery but also sees patients at our Newbury hospital. I am an advanced practitioner in Veterinary Ophthalmology and have a certificate in diagnostic imaging. I have a great interest in all things eye related and accept referrals from other local vets. In my spare time I enjoy playing Lego with my young son, walking with my young spaniel, spending time with my wife.

I joined Donnington Grove Vets in 2004. I graduated from Edinburgh University and started off in mixed practice (farm, small animals and horses) before deciding to move to small animals only. I love the variety that comes with a busy small animal practice and enjoy all aspects of consulting, surgery, endoscopy as well as caring for the most poorly hospitalised cases. I am one of the Clinical Directors and work at both our Newbury and Tadley branches. My elderly ginger cat is Otto, who is currently very much enjoying being an only pet and would like to keep things that way!

Hello! I’m Siana. I grew up over in Kenya and have worked at Donnington since I graduated in 2020 from University of Surrey. I have a particular interest in surgical procedures and have nearly finished further training in orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery which will gain me a BSAVA certificate in small animal surgery. I also have a particular affinity with terriers, especially my little terrier Albie! I spend most of my working days at the Newbury and Tadley surgeries. Outside of work, I keep myself entertained with various sporting activities and when I can explore other countries!

Hello! I’m Daniela and I graduated as a veterinarian in the north of Portugal, at the end of 2021. In 2022 I decided to start my clinical experience in England, where I worked for around 2 years in a small clinic in the West Midlands. I joined the Donnington Grove Vets team at the beginning of 2024, wanting to challenge myself and deepen my skills. I have a lovely Labrador Pantera, Luna the cat and Johnny, the rebellious guinea pig. In my free time I love cooking, practicing yoga, writing and finding new cafes and restaurants in the places I visit.

I’m Katie and I qualified from Nottingham University in 2014. I then spent 9 years in a small animal, first opinion practice in Sandhurst and joined Donnington Grove in November 2023. My interests include pain management and exotic animal practice. I am currently working towards a certificate in exotic medicine and so I am more than happy to see all kinds of small animals, furry, feathery, or scaly! Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my herd of chinchillas and walking with my best friend Archie, the golden retriever (pictured).

I graduated from Cambridge University Vet School in 1995 and I joined the Donnington Grove in 2002 working in both the farm and small animal departments. I gained the RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2006 and am registered as an RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery. My area of interest is all small animal surgery with a more particular interest in orthopaedic surgery. Outside of work I have a Border Terrier, 4 pygmy goats and keep chickens. My spare time is often spent gardening, walking, running, or cycling.

Hey, I’m Kat. I graduated from the Dick Vet School in Edinburgh in 2015 and I started my veterinary career in the beautiful Lake District before moving back down south to Newbury. I’ve been at Donnington Grove Vets since 2017 and enjoy all aspects of general practice. You can find me at both the Newbury and the Thatcham surgeries. In my spare time I can be found exploring the countryside with my husband, our son and our little cockapoo, Romeo.

I’m Nicole and I graduated from University of Surrey in 2020. After a brief stint at a small animal practice in Hereford, I joined Donnington Grove Vets in February 2022. I have a keen interest in small animal internal medicine, and I am currently working towards a BSAVA certificate in this area. I particularly like to help patients with diabetes, thyroid disease, immune disorders and more. Outside of work I spend my free time playing Netball, and being kept busy by my 2 dogs, Dumpling and Zoey, and my cat Squid.

Hi, I'm Tobias. I grew up in West Sussex and graduated from the University of Bristol in 2023. Soon after graduating I decided to move to Newbury and start my veterinary career here at Donnington Grove where I can further my knowledge and skills. I enjoy all aspects of small animal first opinion work, especially surgical procedures. Outside of work I try to avoid injury in a variety of activities such as horse riding, board sports and working my way around the kitchen.

I graduated from the University of Cambridge with degrees in both Zoology and Veterinary Medicine in the summer of 2023 and joined Donnington Grove Veterinary Group soon after. My particular interest lies in anaesthesia and pain relief, as well as exotic and wildlife medicine, which formed the basis of my university research project. Outside of work, I keep myself busy playing sports, recently taking up hockey and swimming, but plan to return to football and taekwondo in the near future.

After graduating in 2000 from University of Bristol, I worked in mixed practice before moving to London to focus on small animal surgery. I moved back out to West Berkshire in 2009 and have remained in the area ever since, gaining my RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2011. I love being a GP vet, building relationships with the client and their pets, but surgery is my real interest - whether that be orthopaedics such as joint disease or fractures, or soft tissue surgery such as tumour excision or airway surgery. Outside work, I am active on the hockey pitch.

Hi my name is Fin and I graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2022 and joined Donnington Grove Vets soon after. I enjoy working as a general practice vet as I get to see and treat a huge variety of animals but also have an interest in small animal internal medicine. I enjoy getting to know our lovely clients and their pets at all three branches. Outside of work you'll probably find me playing hockey.

I’m Tiffany and I am a general practitioner who has been at Donnington Grove Since August 2021. I am originally from Johannesburg South Africa and graduated from University of Pretoria in 2017. Since then, I have done some mixed practice work and was lucky enough to do some work with wildlife before I moved to the UK in 2019. In my free time, you'll most likely find me in a local CrossFit gym either training or coaching a class before work. I have a cat, called Arwen, who loves eating bagels as much as me!

Hi, I'm Isaac! Originally from Bournemouth, I graduated from the University of Surrey in 2022 and joined Donnington Grove Vets soon after. As a general practice vet, I enjoy the variety in the patients I see and doing a bit of everything from routine check-ups, dental procedures, in-patient care, and emergency surgery whilst I progress my career. You an find me at the Newbury and Thatcham surgeries. Outside of work I like to keep active, playing 6-a-side football and to go traveling when I get the chance.
