Hi there, I’m Sophie. I am the Director and Head Vet here at James Street Vets. I qualified in 2003 from the University of Glasgow and took over the practice in 2010. Meeting all sorts of animals and owners is my favourite part of being a veterinarian. I love it when we can make an animal feel better, it is so rewarding to see an improvement in my patients and to see their faces. I am particularly interested in surgery, I’m never happier than when I’m in the operating theatre and I love learning new techniques. As a busy working mum, I rarely get much spare time, but I love spending time with my family which includes chauffeuring my two boys about! I have two working cocker spaniels, Ronnie and Reggie, my beloved Labrador Gary, Bertie the horse and two yard cats called Chase and Skye. For the practice, I want us to provide the best service we can. It makes me so proud to see how far we’ve come in the last ten years and I am excited to see where we’ll be in the next ten years!
