Meet Your Vets
Anselmo Gil
DVM, MRCVS, CertAVP (VDI)
Originally from Southern Spain, I graduated on 2010 and moved to the UK in 2016. Since graduation I have been practising in first opinion with a strong bias towards Diagnostic Imaging, particularly abdominal ultrasound of small companion and exotic animals.
I completed a Certificate in Diagnostic Imaging in 2020 and I joined the Hospital in February 2022. My main role is interpretation of radiographic and ultrasound studies, and I really enjoy working up complex cases and teaching our students. Outside of the hospital, I also provide training in imaging to first opinion veterinary practices.
When not at work I enjoy the great outdoors, reading and playing videogames. We have two very fluffy, pet Chinchillas at home.
