Wessex Veterinary Orthopaedics

I really admire and appreciate the work done by Phil at this Practice. My 9 year old cockerpoo was referred having multiple fractures of the left hind paw. This was stabilised with a plate and screws. My own referring vet was right when advising me of the skilled treatment he would receive from Phil. He really is the best. Post op my vet stressed that instructions must be followed to avoid undoing Phil's good work which he was very impressed with. My insurance claim was handled with ease and there is a friendly atmosphere there.

In Jan ‘25, our 4yr old cavapoo/Maltese cross suddenly deteriorated badly with what we now know is IVDD in multiple places. Phil at Wessex Vets Orthopaedics was fantastic. He whisked her straight into surgery, the nurses were so caring, and the clinic immaculate & well equipped. The fixed pricing for the op, aftercare & follow up visits was also very reassuring at this stressful time. Ten months on our dog is walking & running as if it had never happened. We continue to be careful with her jumping & follow Phil’s wise guidance. I’d highly recommend this practice.

Amazing care for our dog who needed bilateral TPLO surgery under the superb care of Dr Witte. The whole team were professional and friendly, and we were clearly in excellent hands. Our dog is now pain- and limp-free following the procedure - a life-changing process. Thank you to you all.

Such a lovely team. Amazing set up, sensibly priced and the team are super friendly. The vets are knowledgeable, kind and sensible. Although it's never ideal to be having to deal with orthopedic challenges, the team make it as smooth and painfree as possible. Plus there's parking and it's easy to find!

A huge thank you to Dr Witte and all the staff who looked after Fudge. What a great team at Wessex Veterinary Orthopaedics Highly recommended

Thank you Phil and the team for fixing both Molly's knees with TPLO's. It was lovely getting back home from our discharge appointment with Phil. We put the ramp up and she was back on sofa after 10 weeks. She's done remarkably well in adapting. She was 12 last week and normally a free spirit. We are looking forward to getting back to normality. Thank you everyone at Wessex Veterinary Orthopaedics for your kindness and compassion.

Was referred here by my regular vets for my greyhound with a fractured ankle. Great care and swift professional treatment including follow up visit for an External Fixator to stabilise and secure the limb so the bone may mend. Great to have this specialisation serving the local area.

Gunner says thank you to everyone at Wessex Vet Ortho for fixing his leg! We were so lucky to be recommended this practice by a friend just days before we were booked to have a TPLO at our normal vet practice, so we instead asked to be referred here. We didn’t have faith in our usual practice for this surgery for a few reasons and we were concerned about putting Gunner through the surgery aged 10 but Wessex answered all of our questions clearly and reassuringly. Their pricing was clear (actually cheaper than our normal vet), the staff there are absolute experts and the service is first class. My dogs are my children and I worry leaving them with anyone but I was so comfortable to leave Gunner in Phil’s safe and knowledgeable hands and can’t thank him enough. The practice is like a well oiled machine and we were kept updated on the day, given really clear instructions for post operative care, and his recovery went as smoothly as it could’ve done, but they were always so helpful when we had to call or email any queries. I certainly hope my dogs don’t have a need for any future orthopaedic surgeries but if they did I would come here without hesitation. Thank you so much to all the team for looking after Gunner ❤️

Phil and his team are simply amazing, it’s taken me over 8 weeks to find the words and have the time to share this review! My 4 year old frenchie was struck down with complete hind legged paralysis for the second time within 9 months due to being diagnosed with other IVDD. As a crazy dog owner Phil not only went above and beyond to get my little girl walking again but preformed emergency surgery on a Sunday to enable Lily to retain the use of her back legs and at a fixed price as I had previously spent 7 thousand for her previously surgery in which was nearly 10 thousand even though insured with all the hidden costs, the practice has a fixed price which is at an amazing and achievable cost, Even though it is a lot of money to a dog owner who adores there family pets, you can always find and make money but not replace cherished pets, Phil gave complete rest of mind and kept in constant contact with unprecedented aftercare due to her complications. Wessex veterinary orthopaedics are untouchable for their services to both animals and owners alike. Thank you all so much:………. Google will not allow a separate review, so Ive had to add to my previous. Sadly my little girl Ruby was effected by the terrible disease IVDD so was seen by Phil on Thursday for surgery of a ruptured disc and unfortunately she had a second bleed on Saturday afternoon, Phil was In constant communication as a neurotic dog owner, he went above and beyond with his amazing team to ensure that Ruby was cared for, I can never say enough amazing things about this man, Wessex veterinary orthopaedics are truly amazing and compassionate with the care they have had for my babies, I will be for ever eternally grateful for the care, expertise, skill and compassion given to my little girls 5* experience
