As Clinical Director of Creature Comforts in St. Albans, I’m proud to lead a clinic that truly feels like home. My name is Charlotte, and I’ve been a veterinary surgeon for over 20 years. Having spent most of my career working locally - and now living here for the past 15 years with my husband, our two boys, and our much-loved rescue cat, tortoise, and hamster - I feel deeply connected to the work we do and the animals we care for.
At Creature Comforts, we’re fortunate to have an exceptionally experienced and dedicated team. Between us, we share over 60 years of veterinary experience, with strong clinical interests across internal medicine, imaging, and dermatology. This breadth of expertise allows us to provide a high standard of care tailored to each individual patient.
My own particular passion lies in dentistry. I have a postgraduate certificate, alongside further qualifications in anaesthesia and analgesia, enabling me to deliver advanced and compassionate care - especially for patients needingmore complex procedures.
For me, being part of the Creature Comforts is a privilege, and I’m passionate about ensuring every pet receives the kindness, comfort, and high-quality care they deserve.
See you soon,
