In February 2007 I joined Dick White Referrals as an intern. I completed my residency (under the supervision of Prof Dick White) in Small Animal Surgery in 2011. From 2011 I stayed on as a consultant in small animal surgery at Dick White Referrals. In 2013, I passed the exam and became a European Veterinary Specialist in Small Animal Surgery. I worked until July 2017 as a Soft tissue surgeon at DWR. In October 2017 I moved to Germany and started working in a referral centre just outside Munich (Tierklinik Haar). In March 2022, together with my wife Dr Anna Adrian we opened a brand-new multidisciplinary referral centre (FRONTIER veterinary Specialists) in eastern Munich. I enjoy all aspects of soft tissue surgery with a focus on ENT, wound management, thoracic surgery, surgical oncology and minimally invasive surgery.
