Lottie my 5 year old Rottie was referred to Wessex Veterinary Orthopaedics for (TPLO) surgery, phil and the team are amazing from reception,nurses to Phil,you feel relaxed the moment your inside from reception all to the top, Phil makes you feel even more relaxed by the time you leave your fur baby with them, explains everything he’s going to do, even draws it for you 😂🫶 a week later Lottie snapped the right back leg so (TPLO) surgery on her right, again the team are amazing if you ever need the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️look no further thanks again team

Great technical service, very knowledgeable, but understanable explanations of procedures Followed by friendly post operation care. Thank you.

Excellent service and care. The kindness shown to both my dog and I was exceptional I could never thank them enough.

My silly cat Clemmie decided to jump out of a window and broke 2 of her weight bearing toes. The original vet I went to after the accident proposed an incredibly extensive surgery or to amputate Clemmie’s leg if I could not afford that surgery, as Clemmie was not insured. I found Phil and his practice on Google and contacted him to discuss options for Clemmie. After reviewing the x-rays Phil assured me he could help Clemmie with just using k-wires to fix her toes. I felt incredibly confident in Phil after our discussions and himself and the kind vet nurses made me feel at ease on the day. As a self funding customer I really appreciated their transparent packages for surgery. Clemmie recovered incredibly well after the surgery and is back to her fully functioning self! I couldn’t recommend Phil and his team enough.

Was referred to Wessex by my vet - and so pleased we were. My Dachshund became paralysed overnight - the dreaded IVDD stage 5 the worst…Brilliant Phil operated on her within 24 hours and was rightly cautious about her recovery… I’m pleased to say she made an amazing recovery - within a week of surgery she was walking again albeit slightly drunk! She regained bladder and bowel control within a few days, wagging her tail and scratching her face with her back legs! Miraculous! Their care throughout this very stressful ordeal was amazing. The fixed price for her surgery and aftercare, meant there were no hidden extra expenses, they also dealt with the insurance claim too. The nurses were so brilliant too - an open door policy for any concerns or aftercare needs. 4 week post surgery check up and we were discharged back to gentle walks… happy days! 🐾 Thank you Phil and team - we are so grateful!

I have been raving about Wessex Orthopaedics to anyone who will listen so thought it was time to write an official review! Our 1 year old corgi, Dexter, was unfortunately diagnosed with severe bilateral hip dysplasia last year. We were referred to Wessex Orthopaedics where we met Phil and the team. They have always gone above and beyond for Dexter and everyone has been incredibly empathetic, patient and supportive. Despite being a busy service, Phil always offers plenty of time to explain and never makes you feel rushed. Communication over the phone and via email is always prompt and helpful. Phil has always helped us to make decisions that are best for Dexter, including a period of conservative management before exploring surgical options. We feel that prices at Wessex Ortho are very fair, and their surgical guarantee has offered us a lifeline. Thank you to Phil, Harry and the team for everything you do - it is massively appreciated!

A very welcoming place for both pets and owners. You’re welcomed by very cheerful, helpful reception staff. Nothing seems to be too much trouble. My experience was excellent. The consultant/surgeon gave me professional educational advice that I needed without any pressure or prejudice, to help me make the decision for my pet. I highly recommend.

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.
