Veterinary Surgeons

Scott is an RCVS recognised advanced practitioner in small animal surgery. After graduating from Glasgow Vet School in 2001, he initially worked in mixed practice in rural Aberdeenshire followed by time in small animal practice throughout the UK. Scott returned to the area and subsequently founded an award winning veterinary referral practice.

Following a corporate sale, Scott continued to offer surgical services throughout Scotland, including Glasgow Veterinary School and Scottish Vet Referrals. Along with his prior colleague, Michelle Murphy, they felt the time was right to offer pet owners and veterinary practices a new independent referral option in the area.

Cùmath is the name of a German Short Haired Pointer, whom Scott owned. The name Cùmath is derived from Gaelic, meaning good dog. Cùmath the dog was an excellent companion to Scott during the early years of his career and the intention is for Cùmath Pet Surgeons to allow owners to have as much good quality time with their own “good dogs” (and cats!) as possible.

Kasia graduated from Warsaw University of Life Sciences in 2018 and completed a surgical internship at Aberdeen Veterinary Referrals, developing a particular interest in orthopaedics and spinal surgery. She joined AVR team as a leading surgeon after gaining her Postgraduate certificate in Small Animal Surgery (PgC(SAS)) in 2021. She led the clinical team of the Aberdeen chapter of Streetvet charity in the same year.

Kasia is looking forward to maintaining her commitment to providing the best possible care to our patients, pet owners, and referring vets while working at Cumath.

She spends her time away from work surfing and trying to tame the energy of her whippets, Peanut and Freddie.
