Pete purchased the old surgeries at Eastcott Hill and Cricklade Road in 1986 having only come to Swindon as a temporary locum. He has been at the helm since and has been instrumental in the practice's pursuit of excellence in all areas. As a partner his responsibilities are numerous and ill-defined! Pete's particular clinical interest is dentistry and his studies in this area have improved the range and quality of treatment that the practice now offers (see Dentistry Referrals). Pete gained his Diploma in Veterinary Dentistry in November 2010 & is now a Diplomat of the European College of Veterinary Dentistry & is a recognised European Veterinary Specialist in Dentistry . Away from work Pete devotes much of his time to his family (5 children!) and his pets (2 dogs, 2 cats). The rest of his time is filled as a Sunday school teacher, playing tennis and honing his skills on the saxophone. DIY and gardening complete the hectic line-up.
