Dr. Inese Berzina - head of VetCyto
My dad, just like his dad, is a veterinarian and from an early age I observed and eagerly helped him in his work. I was very young when I knew that this will be also my carrer. I am genuinely pleased every single time when the diagnosis I have provided helps my clients – veterinarians to provide the best treatment for their patients.
I strive to develop VetCyto services in a manner that provides efficient and valuable everyday support for practicing veterinarians.
