Our Team

Nikki, our Practice Manager, is the glue that holds us all together… 

 

Nikki is a registered Veterinary Nurse, as well as our Clinical Coach and Practice Manager and is the organisational lynchpin at Roundwood Vets.

 

Unflappable under pressure, Nikki keeps everything running smoothly and on track.

Dr Jo is our Head Vet and Medical Director and has worked for many years in a range of independent practices both in the UK and Europe.

 

Dr Jo is not only a fabulous vet with a wealth of experience she is also a great leader for our team - the Captain steering our ship! She is passionate about preventative healthcare and working to keep your pets healthy and finding the best solutions to help them when they get ill.

 

Dr Jo is a dedicated leader who is always looking at how our team and service can improve and provide a high standard of veterinary care. 

With a passion for animal welfare and a degree from a prestigious veterinary institution, Dr. Saskia brings a blend of expertise and empathy to our practice.

 

Her approach combines advanced medical knowledge with a gentle touch, ensuring your furry companions receive the highest quality care. 

Dr Bhavina graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2023 and brings a fresh and passionate approach to veterinary care. She has a particular interest in dermatology - for both pets and people - because everyone deserves skin they can feel comfortable in!

 

Dr Bhavina is known for her warm, collaborative approach and believes in working closely with pet owners to make shared, client-centred decisions. For her, it’s always us vs the problem, with the pet’s wellbeing at the core of every discussion.

 

She describes her role as part doctor, part detective, part treat dispenser—and 100% here for the fluff. A self-confessed exotics enthusiast, she hopes that one day more of these fascinating patients might visit the practice too!

Qualified Vet Nurse since 2020, Zara brings a wealth of knowledge and a deep passion for patient care to our practice.

 

Outside of her professional commitments, Zara enjoys the challenges of rock climbing and weightlifting, pursuits that mirror her dedication and strength in her veterinary role.

 

We're excited to have her on board to enhance our commitment to exceptional animal care.
