Meet the Team

I have worked in Veterinary practices since 2000. Over time I qualified as a registered veterinary nurse. I joined The Veterinary Surgery as a Registered Veterinary Nurse in July 2015. After showing an interest in the management side of things I then got the position as practice coordinator in Jan 2018. I now do a mixed role of nursing and management. I love to meet and talk to patients and clients, new and old.

I enjoy working at The Veterinary Surgery and have enjoyed meeting all the clients and their pets since August 2015. I have worked in practice for many years as a Registered Veterinary Nurse and couldn't think of a more rewarding career. I like all animals but I am most definitely a cat person, I would have a house full if I could!

I qualified as a Veterinary Nurse in 2001 and joined the practice permanently a few years ago after covering for maternity leave. I have 2 little Shetlands and I am particularly fond of guinea pigs having several of my own.

Hello, I'm Constantin or 'Dinu', and I graduated in 1996 from the Veterinary Medicine Faculty in Bucharest.  I have worked in Romania for many years, including owning my own practice; before deciding to move to the UK in 2019.  I am currently studying towards the OVQ(V)-CA certification, which will enable me to perform Animal Health Certificates for traveling pets.  I regularly work at our Great Houghton branch and Brindley Way Hospital.  

Hello, I'm Semih and I qualified as a Veterinary Surgeon from Uludag University, Turkey, in 2016.  I have been working in the UK since 2021 and have recently joined the team at Chantry Vets. I primarily work between the Wakefield surgery and the Brindley Way Hospital. Nurse consults main image please change to new image. The image with the nurse hold the Guinea pig is fine to be kept!

Hello, I'm Charlotte and I work as a Veterinary Care Assistant, primarily at our Great Houghton branch.  I am also one of the practice's Wellbeing Champions, looking after our entire team. I graduated in 2022 with a Bachelor's Degree in Animal Management and Science. I am a member of the British Veterinary Reception Association and hold the Competent Veterinary Dispenser Award. I have recently completed additional training in bereavement support, so I can further assist our clients at this difficult time. At home, I have a cat called Olive, and I have experience caring for reptiles and dogs too. I enjoy spending my spare time perfecting my baking recipes, which I test on my fellow colleagues!
