Veterinary surgeons

Sam qualified from Bristol in 1990 and started with us later the same year (and has been here ever since). Over the years she has 'rescued' many pets but currently has 3 cats - Jake, Poixie and Niya - and a small menagerie of birds. Sam also has a keen interest in family history research and has extended this to her veterinary family and has even had an article about Endells published in the local Sarum history journal. Sam is also a qualified British Swimming Official and helps out whenever time allows at local events.’

Valeria graduated from the University of Turin, Italy in 2017, and spent two years in a small animal practice in Rome before moving to the UK and joining Endell Vet Group at the end of 2019. Since then she has developed a strong interest in small animal nutrition, gastroenterology and phytotherapy and plans to work towards achieving additional qualifications in these subjects. Outside of work she is a nature and animal lover.

Lu graduated from Liverpool in 2007, having previously studied a Zoology degree there. Lu spent just over two years with Endells from 2008-2010 and is now rejoining the team. Lu has an interest in both medicine and surgery and also acupuncture. She lives in a village outside of Salisbury with her husband and two boys. Over the years they have had a cat, four dogs, exotic pheasants, chickens, hamsters, fish and with their love of animals and the outdoors hope one day to have their dream of a small holding!

Saoirse graduated from the University College Dublin, Ireland and spent nearly a year in a small animal practice in Wales before joining the team here at Endells in November 2017. Since then she has developed a strong interest in small animal cardiology and wishes to work towards achieving the certificate in advanced veterinary practice in cardiology. In her spare time Saoirse enjoys all things outdoors especially going horse riding on her Connemara pony.

Filippo graduated from the University of Turin, Italy in 2019. He worked in an emergency care clinic before moving to the UK and joining Endell Vet Group in December 2019.

Izzy started working at Endell in August 2018 after qualifying from the Royal Veterinary College in London. She has a special interest in surgical cases and has a soft spot for our feline patients. She has two (highly spoilt) Turkish Angora cats called Merlin and Arthur, two naughty gerbils called Hawkeye and Radar, and two fish (Cavanna and Alistair), one of which she operated on here at Endells! In her free time she loves to make music, visit the countryside to cycle and walk, create art and animations, go to archery, construct mascot costumes, constantly refresh her Eurovision knowledge and think up more matching pairs of names for future pets.
