Meet our Partner, Charlotte Dobson
I qualified from the Royal Veterinary College in London in 2012. After graduating, I returned home to the North West where I worked in an emergency hospital before continuing my career in a variety of small animal practices. I completed my Certificate in Advanced Veterinary Practice (CertAVP) in Surgery in 2016 and have a particular interest in soft tissue and orthopaedic surgery. I enjoy getting to know both pets and their owners and building lasting relationships with clients. Outside of work, I live with my husband and two daughters, along with our Jack Russell Cooper and our cross breed Belle. At weekends, you’ll usually find me ferrying my daughters to various competitions with their ponies. I’m very proud of our welcoming team and look forward to meeting you and your pets at the clinic.

I cannot morally recommend this place to anyone. Since this surgery has changed hands it's sadly gone way downhill. Had my cat here on Monday. Struggling with his balance. But alas, didn't take his temp or even look at his ears. Which for me was the final straw. I did have three cats registered here but no more. With fees varying for the same thing over the last couple of years . A distinct lack of any clear pricing I find alarming. Particularly in these tough times. For some reason I continually have to ask for a receipt of what treatments etc I'm charged for but the amount is different everytime and reception staff seem unwilling to give these invoices / receipts to pet owners. To see my animals (which are members of our family) it saddens me to see a company like this use them as cash cows. To put this in perspective my cat was seen by another vet this morning and has started an antibiotic course which could have been started on Monday. Please think carefully before you bring your pets here as I will not bring another of my pets here. I understand the business owner has a right to reply here but I'm not interested in anything they have to say or entering any form of dialogue. Action spraks louder than words.

Would have been good to have been told that the practice was under renovation when I booked the appointment so the noise didn't distress my cat. Prices have also gone up in past 6 months.

All was good but a person on reception was not the most friendly I've come across.
Previous visits they have been fan tastic
Think the person is a new member of staff .
To be honest I wasn't impressed.

Utterly despicable vets, Medivet have ruined another practice!! When a rabbit stops eating its usually one of 2 things, Teeth or GI stasis. Pepper was off her food, we brought her in and the vet listened to her guts, there was movement but didnt then bother to check her teeth. Instead administered a pain relief injection and prescribed pain relief meds without checking her teeth to see if she needed them, at a high cost obviously!! We were also given medication for her guts despite being told already this wasnt the issue, again at significant cost!! She was booked back in for a check and vaccine if she was showing better health and that she was, so the second visit was for her vaccine. Shortly after she went downhill again, but was perking up with the medication for pain, back to the vets, 3rd visit, third charge! This vet made a hald arsed effort at checking her teeth, there may be spurs but no further action. After this is became clear she was perking up and eating after pain meds and going down hill when they wore off, clearly her teeth!! 4th visit, finally a vet checked her teeth properly and diagnosed a spur which was digging into her tongue and causing her significant discomfort, WHY DID IT TAKE NEARLY A WEEK TO GET TO THIS POINT?! Booked back in for a 5th appointment to have this spur filed down and since the costs up to now have been all over the place I also requested an upfront expected invoice, this made it clear we had already been over charged for the previous injections, and this invoice also had 2 dental procedures on it?! No faith at all in the vets now so we are taking Pepper elsewhere. 10 years using Withy Grove across 3 house rabbits, this clearly isnt Withy Grove anymore though, this is the dreaded Medivet, doubled the cost, halved the service and become utterly useless! I'll be in touch in due course and through the appropriate channels to make a formal complaint to the practice, to the Royal Collage of Veterinary Surgeons and for a full refund, we will never use Withy Grove ever again!!

I recently attended Medivet Bamber Bridge with my kitten following complications after a routine spay. Most of the veterinary staff were kind, professional, and reassuring, and I am grateful for the care Violet ultimately received, including corrective surgery which was provided free of charge. However, the communication surrounding my case, particularly regarding out-of-hours care and costs was distressing. On the morning of the same day that I later attended the Chorley out-of-hours clinic, Violet was examined at Bamber Bridge and I was told her wound had healed well and there were no concerns. Approximately six hours later, the wound opened and looked infected. I immediately contacted the practice before closing to seek advice and asked whether she could be seen at Bamber Bridge. I was advised to attend the Chorley out-of-hours clinic instead due to it being Friday evening and was told that they would contact Chorley and that the visit would be covered as a post-operative complication. When I arrived at Chorley, staff there were aware of this. Afterwards, I was informed by a nurse (Jo) that I owed over £200 for the emergency consultation etc. When I explained what I had been told and that I had attended in good faith based on the practice’s advice, her response was dismissive and lacked empathy. She stated that “that’s what happens at the weekend” and suggested that someone had not written it in the notes. This added significant stress during an already worrying situation. Both my friend and I were shocked by the manner in which we were spoken to by Jo, both on the phone and in person. When the practice manager later agreed to waive the fees, Jo commented “you got what you wanted,” which felt inappropriate and upsetting, as though we had behaved unreasonably rather than simply seeking clarity. Additionally, several conversations about medication and aftercare took place in the busy waiting area with Jo, making it difficult to concentrate on important instructions while distressed and holding a post operative kitten. I understand the practice is undergoing renovations, but the environment felt chaotic at times. I want to emphasise that other vets, nurses and care assistants we encountered were all kind and reassuring, and we appreciate the care Violet ultimately received. My concerns relate specifically to communication, consistency of information between sites, and the professionalism shown during an already distressing situation (Jo should really not be Customer facing) . I hope this feedback helps improve the experience for other pet owners in the future.

I had a query and the receptionist was a little dismissive.
I did ring the practice later in the day as I was a little unhappy and the handled my issue very professionally. I felt listened to.

The surgery is undergoing a refurbishment, the room for the consultation was tiny, we really couldn’t all fit in. The receptionist was more bothered about keeping her hot water bottle on her tummy than seeing to the patients. Not a great experience.

Avoid this place. 9am on Friday, the practice manager checked my cats surgical wound and said it was fine. At 7pm we ended up at the emergency vets - as this practice refused to accommodate - with an infected wound, that to a trained professional, would have been apparent at 9am. After having more surgery, for which they charged an additional £150 for medications. I enjoyed the incredibly rude Jo informing me I had ‘got what you wanted’ because they had ‘waived’ the fee of follow-up surgery & appointments. Don’t go here!
