Dr Frédérique Bernaerts

Médecin vétérinaire, spécialiste en médecine interne (Dip.ECVIM-CA)

Après avoir travaillé 6 ans au CHV NOrdvet à Lille, j'ai décidé de me raprocher de ma famille. Je travaille actuellement deux jours par semaine à la Clinique Vétérinaire Brasseur à Manage où je réalise principalement les consultations de médecine interne spécialisée (incluant au besoin l'imagerie abdominale) ainsi que les endoscopies digestives et respiratoires  sur RDV. J'ai rejoint l'équipe de Synlab depuis avril 2022 également deux jours par semaine en tant que référente scientifique vétérinaire.
