Meet the team

Karolina Pionk

Clinical Director

With over 20 years in veterinary medicine, I bring extensive expertise and a compassionate approach to our team. Trained in Lublin, Poland, I specialise in soft tissue surgery. Motivated by the desire to help those who cannot speak for themselves, I joined our practice in Virginia Water to foster a supportive community where pets and their owners feel understood.

Outside of work, I enjoy DIY and carpentry, gardening, heavy metal or rock opera while snacking my not-so-guilty pleasure —pickles!

Vicki Burchell, RVN Ncert Anaesthesia, Clinical supervisor

Head Veterinary Nurse

I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse (RVN) and anaesthesia certificate holder. I am currently studying towards my ISFM feline-friendly nursing certificate which I hope will help our furry friends have a better and friendly experience at the vets.

Outside of work, I enjoy playing netball on a Tuesday evening and I enjoy watching my 2 sons play football.

Nikki Williams

Front of House

I have worked in various roles in the industry for 23 years, from veterinary nursing to practice management.
I have a keen interest in exotics.

Outside of work, I like to get creative with resin and cosmetics. I make an abundance of wax melts, bubble baths, bath bombs, and ornaments.
I currently own two snakes: a royal python and a kingsnake.

Charlie Constantine

Saturday Vet

I’ve known I wanted to be a vet since childhood. I grew up surrounded by pets, and gained hands-on experience working on farms from age 16 and exposure to the equine world through family. I saw first-hand how unique every animal’s needs and quirks are. My lifelong passion, combined with an aptitude for science and a lot of hard work, led me to graduate from Liverpool University in 2012.
My first two years after qualifying were spent as a mixed-practice vet in the Welsh countryside. Since then, I moved back to Surrey and have focused on the care of companion animals.
While I love all aspects of my work, I’ve developed particular interests in Companion Animal Behaviour and Pain Management, ensuring comfort for both senior and younger pets.
My favourite part of being a vet is getting to know each individual patient. I firmly believe there is no ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. When I’m not here on a Saturday, you’ll most likely find me enjoying some gardening at home and the quiet life.

Colleen Scotton

Front of House

I have worked in veterinary reception for the past six years and I love meeting new clients and their fur babies.
My life experiences have given me the best qualities to work in my role - staying calm in challenging situations and maintaining a sunny disposition, which I hope shines through to our clients.
When I am not at work, I look after all my rescue animals- two dogs and three cats.
I enjoy spending time with my family, particularly my grandchildren.
