Dr. Stephnie de Villiers

Dr. Stephnie qualified as a vet in 2015 and has been working in first opinion practices in the UK and South Africa since then. After a short 6 month contract, she gave into the Cayman lure and decided to stay on.

Stephnie has a special interest in chronic pain management and animal acupuncture. She values the relationship between pets and their owners and strives to help maintain these special relationships for as long as possible.

When she is not busy with her pet patients Stephnie enjoys finding adventures!

She is looking forward to meeting all the special pets registered at My Home Vet.

Alan Gordon

British born Alan, also known as Flash, spent his 20s as a Marine Biologist and Dive Captain in Thailand before packing his dog, The Sadie Pup, and coming over to Grand Cayman where he continued his underwater adventures!

The pandemic helped him focus on volunteering at local animal charities and began studying towards his Veterinary Nursing qualifications.

He has a unique, gentle way with animals and he is exactly whom you’d want holding your fur babies whilst they’re being examined.

Likes Tottenham Hotspur, football, fishing, volleyball and walking on the beach with the Sadie Pup.
