Dr. Steve Le Nepveu, BVSc

He prides himself on his approachability and client communication skills and has an interest in wound management. Steve has now joined on as a permanent locum. He has previously owned his own practice, but enjoys the cut and thrust of being a locum and the ability to choose who he works with. If you have met Dr Steve, you will know that he is certainly not one to take life too seriously!
