Clinic Overview

The Vet Station describes itself as an independently owned veterinary practice, with services that include advanced surgery and medicine, routine clinics, and preventative care. Based on the latest reviews, owners most often mention quick access to appointments, vets who talk through multiple treatment options before agreeing a plan, and straightforward handling of common problems like parasite treatments and dental work (one cat had nine teeth removed). Reviews also include specific mentions of staff not adding “extras” to the bill and doing follow-up conversation/check-ins after a previous procedure.

People

  • Martin Williams (vet) is named in a recent review; the owner of a 10-year-old schnauzer says he had a “great manner” and was “great” with their dog.
  • Marissa (vet) is named in a review update; the owner describes her as taking time to chat and check on their cat after prior dental extractions, and being notably effective at administering a worming tablet to a resistant cat.
  • Across several reviews, owners repeatedly describe vets/staff as
  • Explaining options before treatment (one review specifically says the vet went through three options and considered the owner’s circumstances).
  • Being friendly at reception and on arrival (including greeting a dog by name).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 267 reviews.

  • Access and flow: people mention being able to get an appointment or booking easily, with short waiting times; one reviewer describes calling late afternoon and still getting helpful advice about getting their pet checked.
  • Decision-making and communication: multiple reviews describe vets talking owners through options before agreeing a treatment plan, including one that mentions three options and factoring in the owner’s personal circumstances.
  • Hands-on care examples: reviews reference a kitten first visit, routine check-ups, parasite treatment (flea meds and worming tablets), and follow-up conversation after a cat’s nine-tooth extraction the previous year.
  • Cost/charging: a couple of reviews explicitly mention the practice being “reasonably priced/affordable,” and one specifically says they did not try to charge “extras.”
