“Ibra worked at Northern Ireland Veterinary Specialists as long-term Locum this year. As a surgeon having successfully completed the globally recognised ISVPS/Improve international Certificate and Advanced Certificate programmes in Small Animal Surgery and Orthopaedics, we found Ibra knowledgeable, experienced and with technical abilities one would expect of an Advanced Practitioner. Most importantly, he was a good communicator, team player and was well-received by the team and clients alike.”

"Ibra has been working in our orthopaedic department. He has a great rapport with both clients and staff. He cares about his patients and makes clear plans for their ongoing treatment.

"Luna, our cat, got hit by a car and broke her hip. Ibra stepped in and was very efficient. Not only he did a great job with the surgery, but he also kept us in the loop the whole time, which was really reassuring. Now Luna's back to her old tricks in the garden again. We're just so grateful for Ibra's help and the excellent care he provided throughout the process."

"Both my Labs, Bella and Beau, had TPLO surgeries with Dr. Hernando for their cruciate ligament injuries. He was very transparent about the procedures and very helpful, and the recovery was quicker than expected. Bella and Beau are now back to their normal routines, playing fetch like nothing ever happened. I couldn’t be more happy of his great work."

"When Molly was coughing for months and not responding to medication. Ibra diagnosed Molly of a lung tumour with a CT scan. The surgery was a success and Molly's been doing really well ever since. These days, she's back to chasing balls in the garden like she used to. I'm very grateful to Ibra for everything he has done."
