Hertfordshire-based Davies Veterinary Specialists has expanded its oncology service with the appointment of American Specialist in Veterinary Oncology, Sarah Benjamin.

This brings the total number of oncology specialists to four, within a service comprising 12 oncology professionals.

After getting her bachelor’s degree in biology from Duke University, Sarah (pictured right) enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine, from which she graduated summa cum laude (with highest honours) in 2017.

Sarah stayed on at Penn to complete an internship in small animal medicine and surgery followed by a residency in medical oncology.

She became a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Internal Medicine in 2021 and joined the team at Davies in October 2021.

Sarah said: “I joined Davies for the opportunity to collaborate with specialists spanning all aspects of veterinary medicine.

“This allows me to provide the best care for my patients and contribute to the future of veterinary medicine.

"It is a privilege to work with so many kind, motivated and intelligent individuals that share these same goals.”
