About Camille
About Camille
Camille Buyck is an equine veterinary surgeon who graduated from Ghent University in 2020.
She trained in surgery at two referral hospitals. She worked for two years at Newmarket Equine Hospital in the United Kingdom, then completed three years of specialist training in equine surgery at the Centre Hospitalier Vétérinaire Équin de Livet in France.
During this training she worked intensively with sport horses, Thoroughbreds and trotters. She gained experience with a high and varied caseload, under the daily supervision of specialist surgeons.
The world of Thoroughbreds, trotters and their intensive breeding introduced her to a different way of working, in which speed of action, precision and efficient management are central.
One principle is central: good surgery starts before the operation. With enough time for examination, a correct diagnosis and an honest conversation about expectations, risks, alternatives and costs.
Camille works closely with the horse’s own vet. Not as a replacement, but as a specialist complement when further diagnostics, surgery or orthopaedic expertise are needed.
