Humberto Abreu

Veterinary Surgeon

DVM, CertAVP(GSAS) MRCVS

Dr Humberto (Bert) Abreu qualified from the University of Porto, Portugal, in 2004 practicing in his home country for eight years before moving to the UK to pursue his passion in small animal surgery. He spent time in a busy small animal referral hospital in Scotland under the guidance of surgical specialists whilst gaining his RCVS Certificate in Small Animal Surgery. He then went on to work as a clinician in multiple orthopaedic referral centres around the UK before settling at Dogwood Referrals in 2022. His primary interests lie in stifle pathology and fracture management, but he is happy to see any orthopaedic and neurosurgery patients. 

When not in the operating room, Bert enjoys spending time outdoors running and cycling, or in the swimming pool preparing for his next triathlon.
