DAVID FELDMAR BVMS
MRCVS.
I qualified from Glasgow University in
1993 and started working at a small animal practice in Eastbourne. At that
time I already had a large reptile collection and this interest grew into
a large private breeding program. This has involved working with many
specialist species both in terms of general husbandry, breeding, disease
and treatment. . In addition to this I have spent a large amount of time
dealing with husbandry concerns of shop customers. In treating the
problems that arise not only in our own stock but in customers too, I have
gained a broad knowledge of all the common reptile problems associated
with herpetology.
The Reptile Clinic was set up in 1997 on
a part time basis with the idea of offering veterinary advice and
treatment to clients in Sussex. In 1998, as interest grew, the reptile
clinic in Brighton was increased to an every day surgery and in September
'99 we started a second clinic on a part time basis in Sevenoaks.
This is more convenient for people from the Kent and South/East London
areas, for which Sevenoaks is much easier to get to than Brighton.

Opening Hours: The practice
itself is open six days a week but the reptile clinics are only being held
on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. They start at 4:30pm but this may vary
from week to week. Appointments can be made by ringing Pennards any day
between the hours of 8:30am-6pm and the receptionist will make you an
appointment between the hours stated above and give you help with
directions as necessary.
Charges: These vary according to
the species concerned. As a policy we try to keep them realistic for
people who otherwise may not be able to afford to get the best advise
possible. However , they do reflect the limited species span of the work
we do at the clinic. A first time consultation is scheduled for 20-30
minutes and costs; Snakes:£26.95, Lizards:£29.95 and Tortoises:£34.95
(+ further treatments/drugs) with any subsequent shorter visits being
prices according to the time required to deal with the problem.
How To Find Us: Pennards
Veterinary Group is situated in easy reach of the M25 and has ample
parking facilities. Coming either via the M25 or M26 leave the motorways
at M25 Jct.5 initially heading down the A21 but quickly leaving this road
and following the signs for Sevenoaks along the A25. At the large
Riverhead roundabout follow the 'London Road' (A224). Follow this until
you reach the station and then turn right immediately after the station
into Granville Road. Take the first left turning and this is Eardley Road.
The Veterinary surgery is at number 5 on the right hand side. The
Veterinary group should have its own site up and running soon
(www.pennardvetgroup.com) and this will have many more details including
maps of how to find us there.

Opening Hours: The Practice
itself is open seven days a week but the clinics are held Monday to
Saturday at 1.00pm, although times and days do vary week to week.
Appointments can be made by ringing the New Priory any day between the
hours of 8.30am-6pm and the receptionist will make you an appointment

How To Find Us: The clinic in
Brighton is relatively easy to find in that it is only on the Northern
outskirts and getting to it does not involve going into Brighton itself.
The junction to find is a large roundabout at the bottom of the main A23
at its junction with the A27. If you follow the A23 (London Rd) south from
this roundabout towards Brighton you are only half a mile from the
Practice. This can be found further down the London Rd. on the right hand
side just after the first mini-roundabout you come to. The Practice is
sign posted off the main road and the area is called the Deneway. Having
turned off the main road, the Practice itself is up a small lane on the
right before the railway bridge.
