Alba Troya, DVM, PGCertSAS, MRCVS

I'm Alba Troya, a veterinary surgeon specializing in orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery. My journey in veterinary medicine began in Spain, where I completed my degree and my first port graduate certificate in orthopaedics for small animals. I further honed my expertise in the UK, achieving my PGCertSAS from Harper Adams University in 2024.

Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work in some of the top referral hospitals, including Fitzpatrick Referrals and Anicura Valencia Sur. I have had the privilege of learning from some of the most renowned surgeons in the field, whose expertise has profoundly influenced my own approach to surgery. My professional path has taken me from general practice in the UK to several internships in Spain and even a surgical course in Argentina, all of which have helped shape my skills and commitment to animal care. I've had the opportunity to work on numerous challenging cases, which have deepened my knowledge and fueled my genuine passion for surgery and orthopaedics.

Expertise and Services

My primary focus is orthopaedic surgery, particularly procedures like TPLO and CCWO to treat cranial cruciate ligament ruptures, MPL repair, fracture fixation, arthrodesis, as well as various other orthopedic. I bring high-quality surgical instruments and implants to ensure the best possible outcomes for every patient. I also bring extensive experience in soft tissue surgeries, continuously enhancing my expertise to provide the highest standard of care.

Collaborative Approach

I tailor my services to each clinic's needs, ensuring a seamless, efficient integration that adds value for both the practice and its clients.

Commitment to Patient Care

My patients’ welfare is my highest priority. I take the time to explain each procedure in detail to pet owners, ensuring they feel confident and informed. Pre-surgical consultations allow me to discuss the surgical plan, post-operative care, and expected outcomes, fostering trust and clear communication.

My Journey

From my early days in university, I knew surgery was my calling. Working as a surgical assistant during summer internships sparked a passion that has only grown over the years. Despite being in a predominantly male field, I’m proud to have thrived and stood out as a woman orthopaedic surgeon. In the operating room, I feel fully engaged and focused – it's a role I genuinely love.

Outside of Work

In my free time, I enjoy trekking, spending time in nature, and taking care of my two beloved cats, Frodo and Leo.
