Howard Leibermann (BVSc) MRCVS
Veterinary Surgeon

Mr. Howard Liebermann (BVSc) MRCVS
I qualified at The University of Pretoria, South Africa in 1987 . My first 2 years were spent working in a welfare clinic on the edge of a large township in Pretoria, where I gained valuable experience in many diseases and conditions one wouldn't normally see anywhere else! I then spent 7 years in mixed practice near Durban on the East Coast, where I saw unusual things like Rabies and crocodiles!
The past 17 years have been spent in Devon, where I have gained an interest in small animal surgery. I am not a specialist surgeon, but I am one of the partners in a first opinion practice with a high level of service and competence.
I have 3 children and a lovely wife. In my (limited) spare time I enjoy getting out on my mountain bike, and camping, bird watching or snorkelling.
