Here’s what the team have to say
“I started working at Lawrence vets almost 4 years ago. It took me many years to find a practice where I could feel at home, so I plan to stay here long term. The matrix of experiences of the team is quite important; a balanced mix of highly qualified, experienced vets together with new graduates makes it a professionally supportive environment. At Lawrence Vets I find a friendly, cheerful and helpful nursing and reception staff. Everyone around is keen to help, make your day easier and make the job quicker, more efficient and more productive. I’m looking forward to spending more years at Lawrence vets and share learning experiences with all the colleagues here” - Omar, vet
