Testimonials

“Ivan has worked for us as a locum since 2020, and more recently as a mobile orthopaedic surgeon. The service we receive from him is outstanding. We get fast responses on all case enquiries, and operations are booked in quickly (with significantly shorter waiting times than local referral centres).

Clients like not having to travel to another site for the surgery, that we carry out any after care required, and for the continuity with our regular familiar staff. Ivan brings all of his kit and takes it away so there is no additional work for the nurses, who also love being part of more unusual ops that they would otherwise not see. I can’t recommend the service he provides highly enough!”

Dr Claire Sullivan MRCVS, CD Shannon Lodge Vets.


“We have started to use Ivan’s mobile services over the past 12m to assist with our more complicated orthopaedic and soft tissue cases.

We highly recommend Ivan’s skill set which has become an asset to our team. Ivan’s advanced orthopaedic skills allow us to offer a wider more comprehensive range of procedures to our clients, which prevents our clients having to go elsewhere for referral services and follow up care. Ivan supports us with prompt pre and post operative care and also supports our colleagues in practice eager to progressive with their own surgical ability.”

Dr Emma Corfield BVSc, PgCertSurg(WBIS), GPCert(ExAP), MRCVS, Orchard Veterinary Centre, Birmingham


We have started working with Ivan to further our orthopaedic services in our first opinion clinic. It gives us exposure to increasingly routine orthopaedic surgery such as TPLO which we hope to offer more routine ourselves in the future. Ivan has got on well with our team and has helped us manage more complex cases with confidence in a first opinion setting and help with our ongoing development as vets in this challenging surgical field.
