ABOUT
Eagle Eye Vet is here to assist veterinary practices in offering an experienced, compassionate and local service, by bringing equipment and expertise to enhance pet care in ophthalmology and soft tissue surgery.
​
With 15 years experience and further qualifications in both veterinary ophthalmology and small animal surgery, Steven's advanced surgical skills and compassionate nature make him a safe pair of hands.
​
After graduation from Edinburgh in 2007, and having worked across the UK, Steven settled back in his native Northern Ireland in 2011. His greatest satisfaction comes when doing delicate procedures to an exactingly high standard, and is careful to make sure that each procedure is tailored to the both the pet's and owner's best interest. "I think it is essential to take time to get to know what is important for both the pet and owner - so that my advice and surgery can give the best outcome for everyone."
Steven has always loved nature...
