Medivet Orrell Park

Medivet Orrell Park is part of the Medivet group (not an independent practice). The practice offers booked consults (15 minutes) alongside diagnostics such as X‑rays, ultrasound, ECG and endoscopy, plus an in‑house laboratory. It also holds the ISFM Silver Standard Cat‑Friendly Clinic Award.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe clear explanations during appointments (including not feeling rushed), thorough examinations, and supportive handling of end‑of‑life care—one review mentions receiving a card and a keepsake pouch with fur and a paw print after saying goodbye to a pet. Continuity with specific clinicians is also mentioned (clients requesting the same vet).

People

• •Andrew (role not stated): Mentioned repeatedly for continuity of care. Reviewers describe him as attentive and “generous with his time,” explaining what he’s doing in simple terms, and guiding cases that need escalation (example: arranging referral for CT before an operation for a growing lump).
• •Charlotte (role not stated): Noted for remembering pets’ personalities and the reasons for previous visits, even with a busy caseload—something one owner says influenced them to stay with the practice.
