Professional veterinarians 

in Cardiff

Mark qualified from Glasgow University Veterinary School in 1987. During his initial six years of working in a rural farm animal practice in Somerset, he developed a keen interest in small animal practice. Mark decided to move to Cardiff to further his experience in this area. He met his wife, Rachel who was a nurse in the practice. In 2003 they opened Bridges Veterinary Surgery. Mark is interested in all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery and gained the GP certificate in Ophthalmology. Mark has also completed courses in acupuncture and advanced orthopaedics. When not working, Mark is kept busy with 2 young daughters, Tezzy the dog and our 4 cats. He also enjoys going to the gym and skiing.

Mark and Rachel met in 1996 while they were both working at another veterinary practice. Whilst they both worked in a couple of different practices the dream was always to start up their own where they would be happy for their own pets to be and a lovely place for them to work, Mark with his Veterinary expertise and Rachel with her nursing, practice management and reception knowledge.
