This is the first time I have used this practice and I was very impressed at how the vet seemed to be more concerned about my pets health and well being that he were about money. He researched the best yet most affordable solution for me to try first without jumping straight to the most expensive option. I honestly felt like he cared about my cat. This is something I have rarely felt from other vets and because of this will remain with this practice now. In addition to this the reception team are very friendly and upbeat. It was a pleasure to speak to them.

Went for a free nose to tail check up for our elderly cat. No pushed sales just honest assessment of him. Luckily he came away with a good bill.of health. Advised us on food etc and even trimmed his nails. Excellent service and will definitely be my first port of call if there services are needed again. Well done

********I have emailed them before the review, guess what?? They are not interested no reply by mail or call********** Total rip off merchants, beware. Terrible service, having seen a vet on Monday evening who said she would email a script, having paid the consultation fee £51.00 been told to bring the dog back again and pay another consultation fee to get a script for six months is outrageous. The front desk team need some serious customer service training. Lucky the lovely Irish vet that was on duty jumped in and resolved the matter professionally. Because the front desk staff have been nothing more than obnoxious rude and totally inadequate full of false promises and Bull. Having spent a fortune for many years with different animals with Medi vet, I will not be going back. Beware…. They don’t care for animals just after your money.im not looking for something for nothing, I am looking for what I’ve been told and paid for.
