Meet our team

Felicity BVBiol BVSc

Felicity qualified in Australia in 2012, where she worked for two years in a rural mixed practice before moving to England in 2014.

Joining our permanent hospital team in 2015, Felicity is an extremely experienced GP and popular surgeon among many of our longstanding clients with complex medical cases.
Felicity is extremely proficient in the skill of laparoscopic surgery (keyhole spays) together with all soft tissue surgery and advanced medicine cases. She has also developed an interest in dentistry and is enjoying having the use of the dental x-ray machine at Streatham.

One of Felicity’s strong interests is medical investigation and treatment in older cats, and she has many senior patients with multiple conditions requiring care. She is passionate about looking her patients holistically to get the best overall care for them, and will always be direct about what she feels the best investigation or treatment options may be.

Being an OV Practioner means Felicity is available to give advice and issue export certificates to small animal companions wanting to travel to the European Union and beyond.

Away from the surgery, Felicity enjoys nipping back home to Oz occasionally and when in the UK loves camping and spending time with her daughter.

Felicity consults here at Streatham Hill Vets two days a week, and also consults from our sister clinic in Peckham

Felicity consults here at Streatham Hill Vets most days of the week. Book an appointment to see wonderful Felicity!

Qualifying in 2016 from Dublin, Alan first appeared at our main London Animal Hospital in 2020 to help our day time Vet Team during the Covid Pandemic.

Before joining our award winning team, Alan had been practising in a large hospital in London since 2019. Prior to moving to London Alan spent his years post qualifying in some extremely busy clinics in Ireland, England and Scotland treating both large and small animals.

Whilst Alan’s soothing voice is charmingly calming to our sick patients, his clinical interest remains in Emergency and Critical Care medicine for those pets urgently requiring his help. Did we mention that Alan is also an extremely skilled soft tissue surgeon?
