A LOCAL award-winning veterinary service has welcomed a new head vet.

The Pet Vet in Smithies has introduced Dr Martyna Grzesik MRCVS (Member of the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons) to the team.

Martyna has a particular clinical interest in veterinary dentistry, exotic animal medicine and surgery, and emergency work and has said she’s excited for this new venture.

She said: “It’s a pleasure to join the team at The Pet Vet Barnsley.

“I’m very much looking forward to meeting our customers and their pets on their next visits.”

Dr Mel Fuller, CEO, added: “We’re delighted to have Martyna as the newest member of our Barnsley team.

“Under her leadership, our Barnsley surgery will continue to deliver the highest quality patient care and customer service, including more advanced dental procedures, and care for exotics in line with Martyna’s clinical interest in treating these pets.

“To coincide with Martyna’s arrival, we’ve created separate wards for our exotic pets and rabbits – this will enable us to give dedicated care to all of our different patients.’’
