Pets in East Belfast and Dundonald will soon be able to benefit from a new veterinary practice opening in Belfast.

Headed up by vet Tom Fitzsimons (MVB, PGC(SAM) MRCVS), of well-established Garden Lodge Veterinary Clinic, Stormont Veterinary Clinic intends to provide excellent service, with a difference. Their opening hours will adapt over the coming months so they can offer appointments and surgeries at times that suit their clients’ working hours.

The location is perfect for the new practice, the first new start up practice to be opened in Northern Ireland by IVC Evidensia. It’s in a busy suburban area surrounded by residential properties and the beautiful Stormont Park.

Tom Fitzsimons (MRCVS) said: “Stormont Veterinary Clinic will provide the option of a practice closer to home for clients living in Dundonald with state-of-art equipment and facilities, enabling us to help and diagnose our clients’ pets quickly.

“We’ll be offering preventative treatments like dental consults and parasite control as well as puppy parties and nutritional advice, all at times that suit our clients.”

Tom’s vision is to provide high quality care to the pets in the area and, joining him in his quest are Rebecca Martin (BVSc MRVS) and Dermot McInerney (BVSc MRCVS). Richard Kelly (MVB MRCVS) is joining the team to offer dental referral services to other practices in the region.

The gold standard care offered by the team extends into the design of the waiting rooms, consult rooms and kennels with separate areas for cats and dogs, making a visit to the practice as stress free as possible.

The practice is close to Garden Lodge Veterinary Clinic and Tom hopes that Stormont will provide the option of a clinic closer to home for those clients living in Dundonald with great transport links for clients from a wider area.
