Veterinary surgeons

We now have 4 vets who work at the Rochford Veterinary Surgery, combined together they have about 60 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 Rescue Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, ‘Crispie’ who has a mild form of syringomyelia a neurological disease found in this breed, 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 10 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.

Some of you may know Daniella who graduated in 2014 from the Royal Veterinary College and was born and raised in the local area. She joined the practice in 2018 and enjoys working with cats and exotic species. She has a post graduate certificate focused on small animal medicine. She has a Maine Coon cat at home called Pepper.

Dimitra is our newest vet who 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.
