  • Everything 5⭐

    Oakwood is an excellent place!

  • A superb practice...

    June 2023

    We have used Oakwood for 19 years now. Everyone is friendly and approachable, and very good with our dogs. I recommend Oakwood to other dog owners when I think their pet would benefit from a referral.

  • The care we had was fantastic...

    June 2023

    The care and service we had from Oakwood referrals was fantastic. All the staff at every level were friendly and courteous; every aspect of Toby’s surgery and aftercare was clearly explained together with an exact cost, which we found helpful. Thank you all so much for the care you gave Toby, who is now back to normality

  • Excellent communication from all staff...

    Very good, excellent communication from all staff, from the first consultation we had in January to the operation in April and then 2 further telephone conversations.

  • Charlie is an excellent surgeon...

    June 2023

    Fantastic. Our other dog had 2 operations previously with Charlie. Can’t thank him and the staff enough for all you have done for our 2 dogs. Very professional and feel at ease when our dogs are with you. Charlie is an excellent surgeon.

    June 2023

    Charlie Sale saved my cat’s leg. For that I will be eternally grateful. Everything about Oakwood is amazing. The receptionists, nurses and vets are all fantastic and they looked after my boy like a king.

”My first impression was how clean and friendly it was, felt as though everyone cared for what they did with a passion you don’t always see elsewhere. I felt Sootz was treated as an individual and handled at examination with great care for his feelings.

”Enzo was in hospital fir several weeks and it wasn’t always easy to speak to a nurse about his progress. I appreciate they are very busy but I frequently left messages for a nurse to get back to me when free. This rarely happened unfortunately. When I did get to speak to a nurse they were very helpful, informative as much as they could be, and most importantly they were kind. Charlie phoned regularly to keep me up to date with the situation. Enzo is very grateful even if he didn’t appreciate it at the time. Please could you let Charlie know that he still has a hoarse bark.” – November 2022
