Alex Fuller MA VetMB MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon - Owner
Since graduating from Cambridge in 2006, Alex has focused solely on equine veterinary medicine. He was raised on a stud farm in Lancashire, so it's in his blood. As a first-opinion vet, he enjoys dealing with various cases and has a particular interest in orthopaedics, poor performance issues, and challenging dental cases. Alex is a member of The International Society of Equine Loco-motor Pathology (ISELP) and is currently studying with them to further understand and manage lameness conditions in equine athletes. In his free time, he likes to socialise with friends and family, cook, and play the occasional game of poker with friends.
