Parkview Veterinary Clinic is a general veterinary practice that is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe the team handling a mix of routine and urgent problems (injuries and seizures are both mentioned), with several owners noting clear explanations and careful handling—especially with cats to minimise stress during exams. There is also a recent negative review alleging a misdiagnosis in a dachshund, with the owner saying an MRI later showed the issue had been left too long.

Independent Clinic
Treats:

Voy Vet Clinic is described in recent reviews as a first-come, first-seen “open surgery” practice where owners often wait in their cars until called. People use it for both routine problems (for example, a dog’s ear infection treated the same day) and more involved care (one owner mentions their dog being supported through two operations over the years). Reviews repeatedly mention low or “reasonable” pricing for standard visits, alongside frustrations about long waits/queuing and limited phone availability.
