Caring for West Lancashire’s pets with honest advice and continuity you can trust.
Your Friendly Independent Vets
Potter House Vets
Potter House Vets is an independent practice rooted in thoughtful, personal care — where pets are treated as individuals and owners are supported with clear, honest advice.
We believe good veterinary care goes beyond medicine. It means listening carefully, explaining things properly, and helping you make the right decisions for your pet without pressure or rush.
We’re a modern, friendly, independent vet practice that still believes in compassion, continuity, and doing right by the people and pets who trust us.

Meet Our Team
Here at Potter House Vets, your independent vets in Upholland, we’re a close-knit local team of vets and nurses who love what we do and care deeply about the pets we see every day. Friendly faces, familiar names, and people who take the time to listen.
"I graduated in March 2021 from St George’s University in Grenada, West Indies. My training was split across several institutions, including one year at the University of Nottingham, three years at St George’s, and a final clinical year at the Royal Veterinary College in London. This diverse pathway gave me the opportunity to experience veterinary medicine across a wide range of cultures, environments, and clinical settings.
I began my career in mixed practice, treating everything from rats to reindeer, which I thoroughly enjoyed. In October 2022, I returned home to West Lancashire to focus primarily on domestic pets, although I still occasionally see alpacas, goats, and sheep.
Potter House Vets is a progressive, independent practice committed to delivering high-quality care with compassion. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated team, where each individual brings their own strengths and perspective to the practice.
Clinically, I would describe myself as a “traditional” vet, happy to turn my hand to a wide variety of cases. I particularly value building meaningful relationships with clients and helping to restore confidence in the idea of a trusted local family vet.
Outside of work, I have far too many hobbies and not nearly enough time to pursue them all. Most of all, I enjoy spending time with my wife and daughter, our two Labradors, and our menagerie of farm animal pets."
"I qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 2019 in Lublin, Poland, and have been working in the UK ever since, gaining experience in small animal practice and developing a special interest in both dentistry and surgery. I hold a certificate in veterinary dentistry and particularly enjoy helping improve patients’ comfort and quality of life through dental care, from routine procedures to more advanced treatments, as well as being involved in surgical cases.
Before and during my veterinary studies, I was a professional ballroom dancer, which remains a very special part of my life and an experience I look back on fondly.
Outside of work, I share my home with two Sphynx cats, who always make sure life is interesting and entertaining."
I qualified as a vet from Nottingham University in 2025, where I started my new graduate job at Potter House. I love the variety of the job, and have a keen interest in surgery. Outside of work, I keep myself busy with running and hiking, and weekend pub trips with my friends.
