Dr Rhona Smith
Rhona first joined MVH between 2016-2017 before returning to the team in 2024. Growing up in Edinburgh, Scotland, she knew from an early age that becoming a vet was her dream.
Rhona has a particular interest in soft tissue surgery and enjoys using her clinical knowledge and surgical skills to improve the health and wellbeing of her patients.
"I love being a vet as I get to combine my love for animals with helping them live happier and healthier lives."
She has a cat called Teddy, whom Rhona adopted as a tiny five week old kitten after he was found in poor condition on a building site. Despite his appearance, Rhona took one look at him and said, “This is the cat for me!”. Teddy’s story reflects Rhona’s caring nature and her belief that every animal deserves a chance at a happy, healthy life.
When she isn’t at work, Rhona enjoys travelling, discovering new places and keeping fit. She also loves spending time with Teddy and her friends.
