Laurie’s special interests are in consulting and surgery. He has pioneered the use of local anaesthetics to allow safer operations and has also introduced keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery to the area. The Woodbridge Vets now takes referrals for keyhole spays, among other procedures. Laurie holds a certificate in Advanced Veterinary Consulting, meaning he has undertaken training to develop this skill further.
