If you are looking for a vet, look no further. I’ve met many vets over the years, but none come close to Dr. Sheryl. She’s the kind of person who walks into a room and instantly brings safety. She’s more than a vet, she’s an angel in human form. Pure compassion wrapped in calm, grace, and humanity. Her presence is gentle yet strong, her kindness feels effortless, and every word she says comes from the heart. She treated our beautiful baby girl like she was the most precious soul in the world. Dr. Sheryl is the kind of vet you never forget because she reminds you what real care looks like. Not clinical. Not rushed. Just real, quiet love. She is, without question, the most wonderful vet I have ever met. She saw our beautiful baby girl not as a patient, but as someone deeply loved. Every word, every look, every pause was filled with genuine care.

100% RECOMMEND THIS VET Medivet (who we had used (and given vast sums of money to) for years) were unable to help with my cat and I found Sheryl by recommendation after several frantic calls. From the moment she returned my panicked message, I felt we were in very safe, capable hands. Sheryl went WAY above and beyond expectation and was absolutely exceptional. Her manner is calm, gentle and extremely professional (despite my cat being an ex-feral who doesn’t like being handled). We opted for a home visit, for which the fee was minimal and Rambo is now back to full health. My only gripe is that we hadn’t found this amazing vet years ago; not only is she a knowledgeable, compassionate and genuinely caring professional, but her fees are CONSIDERABLY cheaper than Medivet. Needless to say that going forward, only Sheryl will be caring for our rescue boys!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely amazing service! We have used Sheryl 3 times to assist with a dog, cat and a tortoise. Sheryl’s response time was excellent! She came to our premises and assisted with each of their individual needs on sight and provided the appropriate medication for each of them. We will 100% be using Sheryl again and recommending her to our clients.

Can’t thank Sheryl enough for all she has done for my Shih Tzu who we nearly lost just before Christmas. Forever grateful 😊

Last night on the 21st November 2023 an angel came into my house by the name of Sheryl. I had to let go of my poor cat who was 18 called Mr Soot Soot.. Sheryl was the most kind, soft gentle woman who I will never forget. I am so glad it was her that came to help finally send my cat to a peaceful place. Sheryl also helped me with a local crematorium to take him to. Sheryl took my cat for me and made sure he went to the crematorium. This has all been done with the upmost respect and for that i cant thank her enough. I know my mother will be waiting for him with open arms to take care of him in heaven. Till we meet again my Sooty boy. I will love you forever.

Vet Sheryl has provided a fantastic service with a stress-free experience for both the dog and us. Recently we noticed a lump in our dog's paw and we contacted Sheryl, diagnosing a grass seed as probable cause, a situation that might often require surgical intervention. However, Sheryl’s expertise and gentle approach facilitated an alternative, non-invasive treatment involving Epsom salts, which resulted in full recovery. Throughout the process, Sheryl provided a method that was least distressing for the dog while also being transparent and communicative with us. Her pragmatic approach not only alleviated my dog’s discomfort but also minimised the need for a potentially costly and stressful operation. Her genuine care and proficient skills promoted a serene recovery process for our dog. It's clear that Sheryl possesses a deep-seated compassion for animals, coupled with a keen expertise in veterinary medicine, making her a standout in her field. We are thankful to Sheryl for her great service, and without hesitation, would recommend her to any pet owner in search of a compassionate, skilled, and astute veterinarian. Our dog is now OK, completely recovered, and it’s all thanks to Sheryl's insightful and gentle approach to veterinary care.
