Carolina Paz, DVM MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon
Hi! I am Carolina Paz, a Veterinary Surgeon, as well as a mum, a wife, and an artist. I love my job and looking after others, especially geriatric patients "the oldies".
I graduated from the University of Évora in 2016 - Portugal. I have worked and gained experience in many different areas of small animal medicine. Feeling the need to help the patients with osteoarthritis, I extended my studies into chronic pain management by doing a Certificate of Canine Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy and learning with other experienced vets that used other types of techniques such as acupuncture and non-invasive approaches.
I am from Portugal, although I consider myself to be from the world since I was born in Macau - China and grew up in Mozambique - Africa. I have been living in the UK since 2017 and this is my new loved home! When I am not working as a Vet or a mum, I love taking care of my self-health balance, that could be by doing yoga, reading a wonderful book in the garden or doing pottery (what could be more as a challenge than it might seem).
