One of the UK’s most respected veterinary eye clinics has further boosted its surgical expertise with the appointment of an internationally renowned ophthalmology specialist.
Laurence Occelli, an American Board Diplomate in Veterinary Ophthalmology, joins Linnaeus-owned Veterinary Vision, which has three practices in the north of England.
Laurence, who has authored multiple articles, has extensive experience working within universities and private practice in Europe, Canada and the United States.
Among Laurence’s qualifications are a Certificate in Veterinary Anaesthesia, a Certificat d’Etudes Supérieures d’Ophthalmologie Vétérinaire, a Diplôme Universitaire de Microchirurgie Ophthalmologique and a PhD with Pr. Simon Petersen-Jones at Michigan State University.
