Bishop's Stortford Vet Hospital: Alison Somers image

Alison Somers

I graduated from London’s RVC in 1989 and began my career in a mixed practice in Chelmsford. I joined BSVetHosp (then McKeating and Lehner) in 1990 and then joined the partnership in 1997. My professional interests include ophthalmology for which I took the postgraduate certificate exams in 1996 and all forms of surgery.

I spend my spare time gardening, walking my Border Collie ‘Tilly’, taking photographs and being with my 2 children. I also enjoy dressmaking, piano playing and am a member of a local church.

I qualified from London Vet school in 1996, moved to this practice in 2000 and became a partner in 2003. I am looking forwards to the next 25 years here! I love cardiology and am studying for a certificate in this subject.
