The Hackney Vet, a purpose-built veterinary surgery, was opened in September 2014 by colleagues and friends Geoff Platt and Jason Stivano.

Both native Australians, Geoff and Jason grew up on farms and were surrounded by animals from an early age. When it came to deciding on a career, their choice was simple – they both wanted to combine their love for animals with a means of making a living.

Between them, Geoff and Jason have been practising as vets in Hackney for more than 20 years; the whole team has over half a century of veterinary experience between them! It was this valuable period of working in other surgeries that gave Geoff and Jason the experience and confidence they needed to set up their own practice – and so The Hackney Vet was born.

Our team are a fun, friendly and relaxed group of people who all share the same goal – to keep your pet happy and healthy for as long as possible, and to give them all the care and attention they need to recover when they’re not feeling their best. Jason and Geoff have a specialist interest in medicine, orthopaedic surgery and pet travel, and enjoy keeping up with the latest veterinary developments to ensure they always prescribe the most accurate treatment and advice.

As a team we are always keen to help and advise wherever we can, and would love to meet you and your pet very soon. For more information about us, or to book an appointment, please feel free to call us on 0208 533 6554.
