Vets

Sharon

Clinical Lead/Owner
I’m Sharon and I am the Clinical Lead/Owner of Riverside Veterinary Clinics in Callendar and Stirling.

I qualified as vet in 2000 from Glasgow University and have worked all over the UK and in America also. I have worked as a Clinical Lead in a Veterinary Hospital, putting me in charge of over 35 colleagues.

My favourite part of my job is surgery and coaching junior vets to be the best they can be.

In my spare time I like hillwalking and swimming with my husband and two children. I have a bengal called Batty and a giant millipede and lots of houseplants.

Ross

Head Vet - BVMS MRCVS PgC(OS&Dent)
Ross graduated from Glasgow veterinary school in 2012. After working in mixed practice for the first four years of his career Ross developed an interest in surgery, internal medicine and some dermatology and has worked in busy small animal practice since 2017.

Since then, Ross has gained an affinity for veterinary dentistry and has undertaken further training in this field both in the UK and abroad, gaining a certificate in this last year, while continuing his studies into advanced veterinary practice.

In his spare time Ross enjoys trying to play cricket, cooking, reading and walks in the country with his wife, two daughters and dog, Rolo.

Alexia

Texas born, I traveled to Boston, Massachusetts where I graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Biology with a focus in Animal Behaviour from Northeastern University.

During my studies, I worked at the zoo and assisted in veterinary clinics before traveling to South Africa to work in wildlife conservation. I furthered my studies and qualified as a veterinary surgeon in 2022 from the University of Glasgow where I have developed a passion for surgery and continued my passion for wildlife conservation.
