COMPASSIONATECARE

After 30 years as a GP vet, and having obtained his Certificate in Veterinary Dermatology in 2009, Simon now dedicates his time to offering high-quality compassionate care to pets with skin and ear diseases.

 

With three grown up children, Simon and Louise know how hectic life can be and what the added pressure of a pet with a lifelong skin or ear problem means for busy people and families. You want the best for your beloved pet but need help to manage things successfully. That’s where Advanced Veterinary Dermatology steps in.

 

As an Advanced Veterinary Practitioner in veterinary dermatology, Simon has a wealth of experience and knowledge caring for pets with allergies, skin, ear and nail conditions. Simon’s own experience caring for two of his own dogs with allergic skin disease means he understands exactly how pet owners are feeling. 

“We truly care for every pet we see, and since many of our cases are chronic and long-term, we really get to know pets and their owners very well. Many I would consider friends. It is this special relationship built on mutual trust and compassion that makes our dermatology service so unique.”

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

"Simon has been our vet for over 10 years, so when we’ve encountered skin issues with our dogs we’ve been lucky to benefit from his in-depth, and enthusiastic expertise! A poorly pet is always a worry, but it’s easy to trust Simon as he bothers to take time to talk us through the problem, and importantly, the treatment options. Being part of that decision is really important to us.”

"Henry has had severe allergies for many years now, and finding someone who truly understands and can manage his problems has made all the difference. Simon is kind, patient, and incredibly thorough. He takes time to explain everything and has worked with us to find a treatment plan that has finally brought Henry some relief. With Simon’s knowledge it gives us confidence and peace of mind that Henry is getting the best treatment”

"We feel really lucky to have found Simon. He successfully diagnosed our little dog (Candy) with multiple allergies - lots of other vets we had seen didn’t have the expertise to do this. This meant he was able to tailor her treatment to her allergies and all her symptoms have been well controlled for years now. Simon is always up to date with advances in veterinary science and involves us in decisions about Candy’s treatment. He has helped us manage her occasional flare-ups at home and to know when she needs professional help. He is just amazing and I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
