South East Veterinary Referrals will initially specialise in neurology.
Internationally renowned veterinary specialist Dr. Rodolfo Capello has opened an independent referral hospital in Kent.
With 25 years of experience in veterinary neurology, Dr. Capello aims to provide affordable and transparent care to pets and their owners across the South East.
Supported by veterinary nurse Katie Tanner, South East Veterinary Referrals offers a wide range of neurology services, from routine spinal procedures to complex interventions for brain neoplasia, inflammation, and degenerative diseases.
Dr. Capello stated, “We are the only independent specialist veterinary hospital in the area equipped to diagnose and manage neurological issues in pets. With a custom-built facility and the expertise to support veterinarians, we aim to deliver the next level of affordable, specialist care with the transparency our independent status enables.
“We will work hand in hand with referring vets, consulting with them on the best approach for their clients and always keep them fully updated on progress as each case unfolds. Initially, we are offering neurology services, but we plan to quickly upscale our operations and offer other services like orthopaedics soon.”
The service is open to referrals for pets suffering from seizures, pain, difficulty walking, and balance and orientation issues. It also treats peripheral nervous system problems and neuromuscular diseases outside the spinal cord area.
Dr. Capello added, “My focus is on pure collaboration with referring vets and their owners. I am dedicated to providing the best service at accessible prices, with an emphasis on communication and compassion. We work closely with the first-opinion vet to prioritize the best interests of their clients’ pets.”
“Having practiced and lectured in several European and Southeast Asian cities, including Milan, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and London, and holding lead roles in veterinary hospitals such as the Royal Veterinary College and the City University of Hong Kong, where I established a renowned neurology service, I am excited to bring a broad spectrum of neurology services to the South East.”
