Our dedicated exotic species team is led by Dr Sonya Miles BVSc CertAVP (ZM), CertAqV MRCVS, RCVS Recognised Advanced Practitioner in Zoological Medicine and WAVMA Certified Aquatic Species Veterinarian. Sonya is closely supported by exotic species veterinarian Dr Amy Reynolds BVetMed MRCVS, who is soon to also have further exotic species qualifications, and a team of exotic species interns.
