Throughout the group, we have a number of certificate holders with special interest in ECC, internal medicine, surgery, dermatology, cardiology, behaviour, physiotherapy and chronic pain. Our experienced team allows us to offer more advanced services such as orthopaedics, BOAS surgery and chemotherapy.
