David is the head veterinary surgeon here at Ark Vets-Pinhoe and started the practice in 2006. He qualified at Bristol University in 1987 and having worked in larger mixed practices knew that he wanted to create a practice that, while being well equipped had a more personal feel.
His particular veterinary interests include internal medicine and diagnostic imaging. Outside of the practice, you can find him with family, walking with Becci and her dogs, or attending concerts.
P.S. The photo shows my lurcher Rufus. Much missed from 2020. But I do get to see all your great pets!
Becci is the head Registered Veterinary Nurse at Ark Vets-Pinhoe and assists with surgical and hospitalised cases, as well as helping with day to day admin. Becci owns a 16 year old Jack Russell called Margo, and a young Staffie called Lyra.
Matthew joined us in February 2025. He studied at the University of Pretoria, South Africa and graduated as a veterinary surgeon in 2020. He then spent one year working in community service in Barberton, South Arica where he mainly focused on primary animal health care in both small and large animals. Matthew moved to Devon in 2022 and worked in mixed practice for just under three years, before moving to small animal veterinary care full time here at Ark Vets.
His main veterinary interests are gastrointestinal transit cases in cats and dogs, cytology and fertility. Outside of work, Matthew likes hiking, golf, cycling, Braai (South African version of BBQ) and sheep!
Kate is one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses. She came to us already having achieved a degree but wanted a career in animal care. After working here as a student nurse and studying at Bicton College for three years, she qualified as a registered nurse in September 2019.
