Meet Our Veterinary Team

Jodie White

Vet and Referral Specialist

BVSc, MRCVS

Jodie qualified from the University of Bristol in 2008. She started her career in Mixed Animal practice, treating cows, sheep, horses and alpacas, cats and dogs. She once helped rescue a cow from a muddy river bed – 5 hours later and with the help of the fire brigade, it was saved. After a short time, Jodie moved to just treating small pets like cats and dogs and has been doing that ever since.

As a very experienced vet, Jodie loves being an all-round general practice vet and especially enjoys navigating complex internal medicine cases (conditions which affect internal organs). In her spare time, Jodie knits and has recently helped to make blankets for the North London Hospice and woolly hats for high-risk babies in the post natal ward in hospital. She also is an avid reader and boardgame player.

Crystal

Student Vet Nurse

Crystal started her Student Nurse course in 2024, having previously been one of our excellent Veterinary Care Assistants. Crystal honed some of her skills in an animal sanctuary in South Africa, helping to treat cheetahs and servals—not that we see many of those in North London!! Outside of work, Crystal absolutely adores music and travel, hoping to tick more countries off her list very soon.

Marina

Front of House Manager and Operations

Marina manages our wonderful Cient Care team and keeps the front of house and non-clinical parts of the practice operating smoothly. She is currently studying for a veterinary management diploma and is passionate about ensuring that our clients’ experience is as good as humanly possible. Outside of work, Marina loves sailing, martial arts, and making a fuss of her cat Henry.

Hannah

Registered Vet Nurse

Hannah is one of our Registered Veterinary Nurses, having qualified in 2021. She spends her days looking after pets when they get admitted for care or procedures or running our wonderful nurse clinics. Outside of work, Hannah has a beautiful Labrador, Fred, and loves to bake. She is currently trying to tweak classic baking recipes to make them healthier—“with mixed results,” she says!

Charlotte

Head Vet Nurse

Charlotte leads our excellent nursing team. She qualified in 2016 from the Royal Veterinary College and particularly enjoys seeing patients for regular nurse consults and monitoring more complex anaesthetics. She is a live music fan and also spends some of her spare time running and going to the gym.

Dr Rebecca Spaull BVSc MRCVS

Vet and Clinical Director

Rebecca is our clinical director—which means that, as well as seeing patients, operating, and all of the other regular vet work that she does, she is also in charge of making sure that the recommendations, treatments, and products that all of the team give to their patients are as up to date and effective as possible. She is also in charge of training for the clinical team, making sure that our knowledge stays current. She qualified in 2013 from The University of Bristol and after working in a busy London Vet Hospital for 2–3 years, she moved to Australia to work as an emergency and night vet before returning to London. When not working, she spends time boxing, gardening, reading, and trying to master Italian!!

Dr Oli Robinson BVSc MSc MRCVS

Vet and Founder

Oli qualified from The University of Bristol in 2009 and after working in various practices around London felt that there was a lack of practices which treated people and their pets with the personal, individualised care they deserve. So in 2016, he set up the Finchley Vet to provide personal, local, and high-level care to the pets and people of Finchley and the surrounding areas. As the practice has grown he has continued to make sure that he still spends quite a lot of his week on clinical work. He has particular interests in veterinary dentistry and anaesthetics. Outside of work, when not spending time with his family, he is a keen Brazilian Jujitsu player and is very slowly trying to improve, having received his Blue Belt in 2023.
