The Hackney Vet

The Hackney Vet is a purpose-built veterinary surgery in Hackney founded in 2014 by colleagues and friends Geoff Platt and Jason Stivano. Both Australian-born and raised on farms, they built the clinic around a simple idea: combining a lifelong love of animals with high-quality, locally rooted care in East London.

Together, Geoff and Jason bring over two decades of veterinary experience in Hackney, with the wider team collectively offering more than fifty years in practice. Their interests span medicine, orthopaedic surgery and pet travel, supported by a commitment to staying current with the latest veterinary developments so pets receive accurate, up-to-date treatment and advice.

Clients value The Hackney Vet for its warm, relaxed atmosphere and genuinely friendly team who aim to keep pets happy and healthy for as long as possible. Known for taking time to care, explain, and support owners, they offer a welcoming first point of contact for everything from routine check-ups to more complex needs.
