Dr Madelaine graduated from the Royal Veterinary College of London with a bachelor of Accelerated Veterinary Medicine in 2022. ‘Delving into a busy general practice and recently, onto emergency critical care - there isn’t a part of this job I don’t love,’ she says. With a seachange in mind, she moved to sunnier shores in 2024 and joined our team not long after. ‘I set out in search of a practice whose values closely aligned with mine. The Point Vet being that and more. I can’t wait to meet you and all your furry companions soon,’ she adds. Dr Madelaine and her partner have recently welcomed a gorgeous Doberman pup, aptly named ‘Zoro’ to their crew.
