European Veterinary Specialist Hannes Bergmann, has recently joined the fantastic team at Castle Vets. This is the first time that a European Veterinary Specialist has worked as a Consultant within a veterinary practice in Reading, meaning that the pets of Reading can undergo some very specialist surgical procedures, such as joint replacement and arthroscopy, without having to travel long distances.
Our outstanding facilities make us the ideal choice as host practice for Vets Now who provide many local practices with out of hours emergency cover from our site. Our extensive facilities and collaboration with Vets Now, means that your pet can be cared for on-site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week should the need arise. A minimum of one veterinary surgeon and one qualified veterinary nurse remain on duty at the practice premises, whatever the time of day or night, to ensure regular monitoring and the administration of any required medications to our patients.
