Your Specialist Eye Vet
We believe that View Referrals is home to some of the very best eye vets in Edinburgh, driven by experience, qualifications, hard work, and clinical excellence.
Michael graduated top of his veterinary class in 2006 and went on to build an outstanding reputation as director of a multi award-winning clinic in Central Scotland. After gaining additional qualifications in Veterinary Ophthalmology in 2012, he now brings advanced expertise and a strong focus on eye care to his patients.
Richard’s expertise in complex cataract and retinal re-attachment surgery places him among a small number of vets worldwide capable of performing these delicate procedures. Passionate about advancing veterinary care, he has passed on his skills to many other clinicians.
Together, they are dedicated to helping improve the vision and wellbeing of as many pets as possible.
