The Neurology Referral Practice is run by Clare Rusbridge and was established in 1997. Commenting on Sergio’s appointment, she said: “Neurology is our busiest referral practice, drawing patients from across the South East of England and sometimes further afield. We see it as a growth area and wanted to offer our clients a five day a week service to make it easier for them to come to us. Sergio’s experience especially in spinal surgery will be a huge asset to us and will enable us to meet this goal. We’re delighted to welcome him.” Sergio Rodenas added: “I am delighted to join the Neurology Service at the Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital. The facilities, team and professionalism of the staff and the track record of the Goddard Veterinary Group will make an excellent environment in which to practice small animal Neurology at the highest level and to offer the best care to patients.” The Stone Lion Veterinary Hospital can be contacted on 020 8946 4228.
