Capabilities

Andrew Wills developed an interest in orthopaedic surgery in 1990, and passed the Certificate in Small Animal Orthopaedics examination in 1993. This is an examination developed by the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons which demonstrates competence in a subject area over and above that required for general practice. Since then, he has accepted referrals from other practices while working in Dover. Most of these cases were from East Kent, but some came from further afield - London for example, and even one case from Wales! Andrew moved to Faversham in February 2002, which is easier for people to travel to. The practice is 3 minutes from the M2 junction, for example, and less than 2 minutes from the A2.
