Meet The Team

Sara and Becky are both experienced veterinary surgeons local to the area. We have run a large successful veterinary hospital and are excited to be finally opening our own independent veterinary clinic, where we will be both owners and vets enabling us to build a traditional community veterinary practice that values and cares for patients and their owners alike. Our friendly and compassionate approach, alongside our ability to offer more advanced services such as keyhole surgery, endoscopy and ultrasound, sets us apart from other veterinary clinics.

Sara Murray

Having been a vet for longer than I care to remember, I can still say I truly love my job. I graduated from Edinburgh Dick Vet in 2002 and have worked as a GP vet ever since.

Having long forgotten what it is like to don a pair of wellies and attend a calving cow at 3am in the middle of nowhere I find myself immersed and enjoying every aspect of being a small animal vet, and over the years have honed my skills in medicine and surgery under the mentorship of some amazing colleagues. Meeting owners and their pets, forming a bond and seeing them through both the good times and the bad is a privilege.

The trust instilled in me by those owners is a very special thing. I am so excited to finally be able to open my own practice with Becky and deliver our brand of care.

Becky Keeble

I absolutely love being a vet, and opening a practice with Sara is a dream come true. I graduated from Edinburgh in 2013; and worked as a mixed and then small animal vet in a fantastic practice for 10 years. I am passionate about taking care of our team, clients and patients.

As well as Heritage Vets, I run a business teaching keyhole surgery to other practices. I feel honoured to be able to build relationships with clients, and to see their beloved pets from being young right through to helping them in their old age.

My time out of work is taken up by my children Jack and Ivy, ridiculous combination of three dogs, and occasionally I see my long suffering husband!

Veterinary Surgeon – BVetMed MRCVS

Kelly McCann

After qualifying from the Royal Veterinary College back in 2006, I have spent the majority of my career in small animal practice, several years of which were in and around Edinburgh. I love being part of a profession that continues to challenge us to develop and learn, so we can still strive to do the very best for our patients. No two days will ever be the same and I would argue it’s one of the most rewarding jobs to have!

I have also been fortunate enough to work with both Sara and Becky during this time, and have previously worked with their incredible nursing team and I’m excited to be joining them again.

I have a particular interest in treating small animal emergencies and I’m currently working to obtain my certificate in this area. I also enjoy surgery and I look forward to meeting clients and helping to take care of your pets.

In any time that I have left, I am busy looking after my three girls, and our Corgi Daphne.

Tom Torgerson

After qualifying from Edinburgh in 2022, I worked in an independent small animal practice in Yorkshire, where I grew up. Despite having worked with lots of lovely clients, their pets, and some fantastic colleagues, I realised just how much I missed this wonderful city and felt I had to come back.

I was absolutely thrilled when Becky and Sara offered me the role at Heritage, and I can’t wait to get started and meet everyone and their pets.

I have a strong interest in animal behaviour and nothing makes me happier than being able to help work through difficulties and restore the very special bond between people and their animals.

Outside of work, I enjoy a cold plunge in the sea (although I tend to be drawn to the swimming pool in the winter months!) and running around after my rescue cat, Midnight. Having grown up with dogs, I love it when my rough collie, Ailsa, comes to visit.

Jen Campbell

BVMS MRCVS – Veterinary Surgeon

Jen Campbell

I have enjoyed being a GP small animal vet for a long time (even longer than Sara!) and since graduating from Glasgow Vet School I have worked in several practices in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

I am very happy to be working with Sara and Becky again, and am excited to be part of their independent practice.

In our increasingly busy and stressed world I think that time spent in nature and with our pets is ever more important. IT is a real pleasure and privilege to be part of the journey with people through their pets’ lives – from when they are cute puppies and kittens right through to the adorable golden oldies – through all the happy and sad times.

When not at work, or socialising with family and friends, I enjoy walking on East Lothian’s beautiful beaches with my dogs – Cuillin the Border Collie and Ron the Cavachon. Murray and Kobe the cats complete my animal family.

I also enjoy hillwalking and like to relax by doing yoga, reading, knitting and crocheting.

Kristi Leckie RVN

Senior Veterinary Nurse

Kristi Leckie

I bring over a decade of experience and unwavering dedication to the world of veterinary care. I graduated with Honours from Edinburgh Napier University in 2013. My commitment to lifelong learning has kept me at the forefront of veterinary medicine and community care.

My main passion lies in consulting and community nursing. I am our go-to person for complex consulting nursing cases, approaching them with compassion and clinical expertise. I understand the anxiety that many pet owners feel when their pets are unwell, and provide comfort to pets and their carers at the most difficult of times.

Whether it’s a nervous kitten or a senior dog needing some extra care and attention, I ensure that every patient and owner feels safe and understood. I believe in the power of connection, and am helping us restore the personal touch to veterinary medicine at Heritage Vets. Its not just about diagnosis and treatment, it’s about understanding and cherishing the unique bond between pets and their humans. I will ensure that every interaction leaves a positive impact.

Senior Veterinary Nurse

I have many years experience in Veterinary Nursing. I have keen interests in anaesthesia, laparoscopy and ultrasonography. I am the glue that holds our theatre together, ensuring that every bit of equipment is working and every animal is given my dedicated and expert care.

I am also an incredible radiographer – my ability to take the perfect dental or limb x-ray is second to none!

When I’m not working I am kept busy by my son and crazy kitten!’

Holly Johnstone RVN

Veterinary Nurse

Holly Johnstone

I graduated from Edinburgh Napier in 2021 and have been working in general practice since. I enjoy all aspects of my nursing role, particularly a more challenging case, where I can use my nursing skills and approach with an attention to detail.

I have 2 cats at home and I understand how stressful coming to the vet can be for our feline friends, so creating a cat friendly environment is very important to me.

Throughout university and my nursing career, I have also taken a particular interest in mental health within the industry having carried out research and extra training in the area. I would love to pursue this interest further in the future.

I am so excited to be part of the team at Heritage Vets and look forward to meeting our clients and their pets!

Wendy Flynn RVN

Veterinary Nurse

Wendy Flynn

You may recognise me as the ‘Locum Veterinary Nurse’ but I couldn’t have been happier to be offered a permeant RVN position with this lovely team! Before becoming a Registered Veterinary Nurse, I studied for BSc in Conservation Biology. I then went on to The College of Animal Welfare in Edinburgh and received a Level 3 Diploma in Veterinary nursing in 2013. I love all aspects of my job, but I have a particular soft spot for our feline and small furry patients. I also have great joy in forming good client and patient bonds to try and make a stressful vet visit as stress-free as possible.

When not at work I am usually found at a local bakery with my partner, Nick, travelling the world, or spending time with our menagerie. We have a cat: Gus, two guinea pigs: Hiccup and Mort, a hamster: Russell Sprout and five naughty ex battery chickens: Helen, Hilda, Gloria, Gladys and Henny Penny.

Hi, I’m Leisa. I’m a Registered Veterinary Nurse and I’ve been very lucky to experience a really varied career so far – starting out in charity medicine, spending a year in oncology, and now joining the lovely team here at Heritage Vets. I can’t wait to get stuck into all the variety that general practice has to offer.

What I love most about my role is building strong relationships with clients and their pets. I’m passionate about making sure owners feel supported and fully understand what’s happening with their animals, while also doing everything I can to keep visits as calm, stress-free, and positive as possible for my patients.

I qualified from Edinburgh Telford College in 2008.

For the majority of my career I worked in a busy mixed practice in the Scottish Borders, then spent the past 4 years locumming over Edinburgh and East Lothian.

During my career, I have been keen to continue my education and have managed to obtain two certificates in emergency and medical nursing.

I am currently working toward a hydrotherapy diploma.

While not at work I have many hobbies – working my 7 gun dogs, helping local farmers with sheep and cattle work, tending to my menagerie of 40 chickens and guinea fowl. Or trying my best to grow various plants and vegetables in my garden!

I very much look forward to meeting all the lovely clients and pets here at Heritage

I started working in veterinary in 2020 at an emergency hospital. Since then I have worked in GP and referral. I have discovered that GP is where I flourish and have since returned. I am very happy to be back in first opinion and to bring my skills and knowledge with me.

When I’m not at work I love to travel, meet up with my friends and have cosy days with my 2 cats, Tigger and Dory.

I joined the veterinary world back in 2017 as a receptionist, and found a real love for the job. Client care and building relationships with clients is my favourite part! (Fur baby cuddles are always a bonus).

I am so excited to be a part of the Heritage Vets team and look forward to meeting all our clients & their pets!

Hi I’m Stacey! I’m very excited to join Heritage Vets. When not working, I am always counting down to the next holiday or adventure

, my biggest travel highlight so far has been visiting an ethical elephant sanctuary in Thailand

When not planning my next getaway, I love spending time with friends, enjoying a night out at live bands or tribute shows

, and as a true foodie, I’m happiest discovering new restaurants (with the odd night off from cooking

At home, myself and my husband share life with Betty, our Romanian rescue dog

. Betty can be a little challenging as she’s reactive, but with love, patience, and hard work we have come such a long way together. She may not be perfect, but she’s definitely spoiled, adored, and gives plenty of love back

I am really looking forward to starting my new role at Heritage, this year has been exciting in other ways too with the purchase of my first home!

My spare time is usually spent with my partner and two beautiful British Shorthair cats (Tommy and Lola). I also love going to the theatre to see the latest musical, cooking tasty recipes and traveling to far corners of the world.

I can’t wait to meet all the clients and patients at Heritage, do pop over for a hello and a chat if you are in!

I have always had a passion for pets and their care. I originally started working with animals in a pet shop, and have built my knowledge from there.

I have many pets of my own, most notably four long haired chihuahuas who keep me very busy!
