I qualified as a vet in 2016 in Romania and worked there as a small animal vet for two years. In 2018 I decided to move to the UK to continue taking care of all furry babies. In my free time I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and cycling, but also enjoy relaxing with some cross stitching and cooking. My best friend Maus is a domestic short hair cat with sight issues, she was adopted from a Romanian village and travelled with me here. She is very spoiled and absolutely enjoys her indoor life, but also loves birdwatching in the garden.

From reception to seeing a vet is always a positive experience. I always know that my animals are given the best care possible and they always improve with the treatment given. I also love how empathic everyone is, I have two anxious pets and their anxiety is always taken into account even without me asking.

Covid-19 pandemic and answered my email and questions promptly and informatively. When we needed your help recently you got Farley in on the same day and with the same vet who knew Farley's history. Your treatment was excellent and reassuring and I have every confidence it will continue to do so. Also despite it not being my number one priority the price of Farley's treatment has been extremely reasonable and competitive to other vets in the area who some of my friends deal with. Well done to all at Wool Medivets, I have been using your practice for over seventeen years including my previous dog as well and have never had a complaint, I have always had every confidence with the whole team and know that if I have to leave Farley at the practice for treatment, I am leaving him in great hands.

Weve had a scary week with a poorly panda, we found him at the bottom of his cage with a weak neck and low heart rate. We took him to a vet and after a few hours of being in an incubator and injections he was back home. 😍 He stayed inside with wobbly legs so we could watch him eat drink and build up his strength. He has done so well and strong enough to be with lola again keeping him inside a little longer to keep watch. thank you for saving his life xx

I would like to thank Andy for looking after my rabbit Benny and being so thorough. We made the tough decision to have Benny put to sleep and both my mum and I were in tears but Andy was so lovely. I really appriecate Benny being seen to so quickly and I know he would of been well looked after when we left him. Thanks again Andy and all at Medivet xx

I cannot recommend Medivets highly enough. Clementine was rushed to them on a Saturday night after being clipped by a car with two serious pelvic fractures. There was no certainty that she would recover, but after successful surgery she continues to recover well at home. Every day she is walking better and is more like her normal self. Yesterday she even reached her paw through the crate where she is resting and give our chihuahua a quick cuff as he walked past! That’s the Clementine we know and love! I’m so appreciative that they managed to save her, and were so compassionate and empathic with dealing with myself as I was utterly distraught. Their communication was superb and they stayed in constant contact to update me all the way through this. It was an awful time but the team know how much pets end up meaning to their human families, and they made an awful situation so much easier to deal with.
