About Us

For over 38 years, our veterinary centre has been committed to providing owners with the best veterinary medical care for their pets. We are proud to say continuity of care is one of the hallmarks of our practices. This allows for good relationship with our clients and greater continuity of care both within and outside normal working hours.Having a trusted relationship with your veterinary surgeon can positively impact the health of your pet leading to better communication and shared decision-making.

The Stokewood  Veterinary Clinic was acquired by CVS (UK) Limited in January 2023 and now operates as part of this larger group of veterinary practices and veterinary service providers.

Client satisfaction

A modern facility with advanced procedures spearheaded by 'supervet' who offer hope and skills within the Bournemouth area.

Mrs Quins

Always really friendly staff who clearly care a lot about the animals and the owners! They couldn't have been more helpful whenever my pet has been unwell or in an accident, treating them as if they were their own pet.

Mrs Hall

I can t recommend Stokewood Vets enough - the team are friendly and welcoming and there is no doubt at all that they have your pets best interests at heart - I love that they are an independent practice and not a corporate with targets to meet and a revolving door of vets - it's great that you know who you are going to be seeing and that your vet knows your pet - They are super compassionate and knowledgeable and they have have always fitted us in, quick appointments and you never feel rushed or ignored.

Mr Lambert

Phenomenal amazing caring staff. Couldn't and wouldn't go anywhere else. Been coming here for 27 years as I know they love my fur babies as much as i do. They go above and beyond their duties not only for the animals but for the carers too.

They are happy to receive referrals in areas such as internal medicine, cardiology, orthopaedic, and soft tissue surgery. We invest heavily in the ongoing training of all our staff, meaning you can rest assured that your pet will be in good hands.

Dr Iulia Coroian

Head Veterinary Surgeon
Iulia graduated in 2011 and spent her first five years as a mixed practice veterinarian before dedicating herself to her true passion: small animal care. Her commitment to ongoing professional growth led her to earn a PhD in 2015 and a Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Surgery in 2024. Iulia specializes in small animal surgery, particularly advanced soft tissue procedures, as well as diagnostic imaging, with a keen focus on ultrasound. She also brings extensive experience in emergency and internal medicine to her practice.
Outside of her veterinary work, Iulia enjoys spending time with her family, hiking, gardening, and engaging in water sports. She shares her home with a much-loved rescue cat and dreams of one day adding a dog to her family.

Sadie

Registered Veterinary Nurse
Sadie’s love for animals started early and hasn’t wavered since. Before joining the veterinary world, she spent a decade as a zookeeper, specialising in primate care—from the cheeky lemurs, amazing woolly and howler monkeys, to the ever-graceful gibbons. From 2017 she swapped the zoo for the clinic and qualified as a registered veterinary nurse in 2022.
While she’s worked with everything from fur to primates, cats are her favourite companions in practice (though she’d never admit that to a lemur). Sadie loves wildlife and exotics too. Outside of work, Sadie’s often off exploring the world with her husband, camera in hand and snorkel at the ready. She also creates her own sea glass jewellery—when she’s not busy surfing or paddleboarding, that is.
Basically, if it involves the ocean, Sadie’s in her happy place.

Bethany

Beth has  always loved and wanted to work with animals, she studied Fdsc Animal Management and applied science in 2021 and BSc Animal Behaviour in 2023.

Her  dream job is to become a veterinary nurse, and she has  a huge passion for animal welfare.

  • Enjoy meeting up with friends and family, doing puzzles, and going on walks.
  • Rescued Lacey (the cat in the photo) from a rescue centre as a kitten when volunteering, she’s a family cat but would love pets of my own when I have a house.
