About Krzysztof

I graduated from the University of Life Sciences in Poland in 2012 and have been dedicated to veterinary medicine ever since. My professional focus is orthopaedic and neurosurgery — I find real purpose in helping animals regain their comfort, mobility, and quality of life. I recently completed my Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery at the University of Liverpool.

I take a calm, practical approach to both surgery and client communication, and believe that putting owners at ease is just as important as the clinical work itself.

At home, I share my life with two cats — Devil and Troll — and a very cheerful dog called Toastie, who I walk regularly with my wife Millie. They're a constant reminder of why I chose this career.
