The Oaks Veterinary Centre is reported by some reviewers to be owned by IVC (a corporate group), and reviews are split between strong praise for clinical care and concerns about pricing and sales-style “plans.” Recent experiences describe being offered rapid appointments for unwell pets (including being seen “as soon as” the owner could arrive, and another case “within 4 hours” of calling), and vets discussing “a couple of alternatives” before treatment. Reviews also mention the practice accepting an injured wild bird for triage and safe keeping until the SPCA could collect it, and at least one owner attending specifically for a “specialist vet” for an African bullfrog.
