About Us
We are a close-knit friendly team working out of a single site practice on the outskirts of Southampton. We are on the edge of the New Forest National Park and close to the water sport amenities of the Solent. Our practice was originally set up by Chris Carter in 1982, and we still employ members of his team. Added to these experienced Veterinary Surgeons, we have a supportive team of nurses, most of whom we have trained in the surgery and have remained with us, who work exceptionally well together. The surgery enjoys teaching and sharing new ideas, we have digital radiography, ultrasonography, in house laboratory machines from Idexx, capnography and an E.C.G machine.
