our team
Finn Seydewitz Mag.med.vet MRCVS
Joint Venture Partner and Veterinary Surgeon
After a short time in practice at home – in Austria – I came to England in 1998 to work first at the PDSA in London before moving into mixed practice in Norfolk. In 2001 I joined a practice in Salisbury where I was in charge of the surgical department. In 2007 I joined Companion Care and opened the Winchester vet surgery. Whilst enjoying all aspects of surgery I particularly like orthopaedics and reconstructive surgery. We have two pets at home; Nina the Labrador and Lilli the cat. I spend as much time as possible with my children Patrick and Hannah. I also enjoy playing golf when I can and if there is still a bit of time in the evenings I enjoy a good book.
