    Here's what our team has to say:


    “Portland house has been a great start to my career, I started in September 2022 as a vet after graduating that summer. The team have been very supportive as I have found my feet  as a new grad and are always happy to help. I enjoy the variety of work that a truly mixed practice brings from scanning a blocked goat’s bladder to performing pyometra surgery. It has been great to be part of a social team with regular pub trips and quizzes, which bring the whole team together!” – Juliet, Vet
