Veterinary surgeons

We now have 4 vets who work at the Rochford Veterinary Surgery, combined together they have about 70 years of experience between them.

The vet practice has been owned since 1991 by Mr and Mrs Jobson. Mr Jobson qualified from the Edinburgh Vet School in 1988 and worked in Suffolk for 4 years before owning the present practice. He has a particular interest in internal medicine problems and dermatology cases as well as in ultrasound imaging. Mr and Mrs Jobson have their own dogs, cats and horses. Presently they have a young Alsatian called Harry and also have two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, ‘Ellie’ who is our newest addition, and ‘Freddie’ who was born with a deformed Larynx.

Some of you will also have met our experienced vet Catherine. Catherine qualified from the Royal Veterinary College and has over 15 years experience in general practice in both medicine and surgery. Growing up in the area she knows both the people and places well. Catherine has a Certificate in Veterinary Ophthalmology and enjoys all aspects of eye medicine and surgery. Catherine has Peggy at home who is a rescue spaniel with congenital cataracts, and Margot her newest addition who is a very well pampered ragdoll kitten.

Our youngest vet Dimitra graduated in 2017 from Aristoteleio University of Thessaloniki in Greece. She now lives in Southend having previously worked in Sheffield. Dimitra enjoys soft tissue surgery and of course meeting the puppies and kittens – especially as her own dog Alfie is still in Greece for now, who she misses lots.
