I’m Alex Cumiskey, a Partner and Small Animal Vet. After graduating from the RVC in 2005 I joined Larkmead later that year as a Small Animal Vet. I have a special interest in surgical cases, in particular orthopaedics and I have a Cert AVP from the RCVS.

The best thing about my job is the people here! The whole practice team are dedicated to one important outcome, animal wellbeing, as well as helping pet owners get their furry friends on the road to recovery. It is highly rewarding and I love every day.

At home I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and enjoy spending time being active, which is mostly with my 4-legged companions. When I prefer a bit of a quieter day, I will be mostly sampling my homebrew.

My favourite animal is an Ostrich so a bit different from the patients I see every day!
