In 2023 my cat Blaze was hit by a car luckily he is thriving now but he got admitted to wimpole vets after having his back legs,hips broken and fixed he also lost his ability to urinate he got fitted with a tube through his bladder which we had to drain multiple times a day but with a miracle he managed to urinate on his own. But the staff at wimpole especially Martin helped our precious boy which on 2 1/5 years is better than ever which we wouldn’t thought possible through everything and we are all so grateful for everyone’s hard work and dedication to blaze. We could not fault this vet at all they was very understanding and helpful and no question was left unanswered or stupid to ask. couldn’t have a better team at wimpole vet thank you so much! 🐾

This review is long overdue but for anyone going through a similar scenario, I hope it provides reassurance! Our poor kitten (10months old) came home with an injury affecting the left side of his hip back in December 2024. We were quickly referred to East of England Veterinary Specialist for surgery when we had found out his femoral head had completely broken away from his femur which needs surgery to rectify. Sebastian was very informative and went through the options we had - who would have thought a cat can live a normal life without a femoral head? Sebastian and his team worked on our little guy and the FHO surgery was a success. Our cat stayed in over night, the team were attentive and followed up with numerous phones calls for the overall 24-ish hours they had him in. Now 9months post op, (including 6weeks crate recovery and being kept indoors for 6months) our little ginger guy has no limp and can walk, run, jump with ease and remains a burden to wild life. Thank you so much to the kind receptionist, the aftercare team, Sebastian and everyone in between for getting our little guy back to his usual ways.

We paid 200£ for a cast that lasted for about 2hours and when we asked them to help for us they said there is nothing they can do for us, there is no emergency service! They refused to give us back the money and said it is dog fault that happened. The dog was in our lap the whole time. Very disappointed because we only wanted the best for our dog and just because we do not have the money for the surgery we would not not deserve this ! I am after my cancer treatment and my partner is the only one who is working at the moment. So we do not have that much money but we love our little dog very much and we care for him and we just wanted him to get better.

We visited EoE Vet Specialists following a referral from our local vet, with our 8 month Shiba as he has issues with his hips. I was blown away by Martin and the team and the care taken with our boy during his appointment. I was so pleased that they put our puppy's healthcare before money and gave us advice on managing his condition before jumping straight into surgery. When the day comes for surgery though, I would be more than comfortable leaving our boy in their hands as they are exceptional. Highly recommend for any orthapedic issues. Thank you so much!

The most amazing, helpful and caring staff. We visited here after a traumatic week with our beautiful Labrador. Martin the Vet was so friendly and caring and fixed our boy. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. Thank you everyone for helping Arnhem walk again and be the happy boy we all love x

We took our 6 year old Shorkie, Daisy in for a TPLO on Monday after our local vet virtually insisted on this vet practice for the operation. I have to say we were very apprehensive but it was clear from the start Daisy was in the very best hands. Staff could not have been more helpful and friendly. They inspired confidence from the outset and even submitted the insurance claims for us, so removing another potentially troublesome obstacle for the uninitiated. Four days on and Daisy is doing fine. Obviously she still has a long recovery and cafe rest ahead of her but so far, so good - Thoroughly recommended!
