Ophthalmology Intern
Alvaro obtained his degree in Veterinary Medicine in the UCM (Madrid) in 2019, where he collaborated as a student in ophthalmology as well as other departments.
After working for 5 months in Spain, he moved to Northern Ireland to work in a very busy mixed animal practice. It was then he decided to re-start his ophthalmology formation, undergoing a University Diploma in Veterinary Ophthalmolgy by the UCM in 2022.
In March 2023, he moved to Cardiff to work as a full time small animal vet, to then join Optivet in January 2024 as an Ophthalmology Intern - with the aim of pursuing the specialisation in Ophthalmology.
In his spare time, Alvaro enjoys cooking, playing tennis, birding, hiking and discovering new places in the UK with his beautiful dog Zoe.
