Medivet Oakdale

Medivet Oakdale is part of the Medivet group (a network of 400+ practices) and is set up for both everyday care and more complex work, with “routine and advanced surgery” listed on its website. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly describe practical, problem-solving support: fitting in a last-minute evening appointment for a poorly guinea pig, handling annual boosters plus kennel cough nasal spray during a thorough check-up, and prescribing medication for a leg issue that the owner says improved. There are also multiple mentions of the team taking time to listen—one reviewer describes the receptionist checking with a vet and calling back the same morning with advice, then booking an appointment to suit working hours.
