Mark always treats our spaniel, Izzy, with sensitivity and assuring professionalism. On this occasion she had greenish discharge from her eye and he gave her a very thorough examination and spot-on diagnosis. With antibiotic eyedrops she is very much better after only 24 hours. We can’t recommend Medivet highly enough for veterinary expertise and very pleasant, helpful reception staff. D&J Workman
