About the Company
- We are a first opinion and Ophthalmology Referral practice.
- We have a small friendly team of two and a half vets, five nursing staff (VCAs, student and RVN) and one receptionist striving to provide the highest level of care.
- Our clients describe the practice as feeling homely and we have a nice garden for summer lunches and natural light.
- Although we are part of a big corporate, we function independently and day to day is more like a family run practice; still having the benefit of Medivet’s local 24hr centre and combined staff knowledge.
