Melbourne Veterinary Centre

David and I cannot speak too highly of the treatment of the vets and all the staff here. Our seven year old Golden Retriever was discovered to have a mast cell tumour and was operated on successfully by Janet Martin. Janet kept us informed of Callum’s progress, in a caring and professional manner. Susanne Dieterich felt that we would all be less stressed by having the operation in a location where we all felt comfortable. She was right! Amanda Odeku initially thoroughly examined Callum, and helped me feel less guilty, as I initially thought he had a cyst, and hadn’t taken him straight away. Denise on reception was so sensitive towards us, and I’m sure she remembered how upset we were, when Jamie, our previous Retriever had been ‘put to sleep’ and she comforted us then. Her fellow receptionist (Chris?) was kind towards us as well. Tessa Brotherton took alternate stitches out and Nicola Singleton took the remaining stitches out and gave his ear, which had been ‘mucky’ a good clean as well! Nicola reassured us that her dog had been operated on by Janet, and that had been a complete success! There was also a lovely vet who said she’d heard a lot about Callum! (Melanie?) If I’ve left any names out… many apologies. Thank you to all the Staff at Melbourne Veterinary Centre. Expertise, kindess go a long way to alleviate a stressful time. Callum is at present just over two weeks later, having a lovely time at the seaside… and admired by all who see him!

I want to tell everyone what a wonderful practice Melbourne is. I needed a vet to come out to my home to put my darling cat to sleep as my own vets Straitons in Penkridge would not come out to me. My boy was suffering from liver failure and had been an in patient with Straitons earlier in the week. He was very poorly and his time had come and I really did not want to stress him out by putting him in the car and taking him to them. He was lying in the garden he loved, in the sunshine and I wanted him to have a gentle passing in a familiar place. Before contacing Melbourne I had already spoken to Shires Veterinary Practice in Stone at 9.00 am and they told me that a vet would be with me at about 2.00 p.m. but three hours later I got a call to say that they could not come as I was just outside their area. As you can imagine I was distraught. I spoke to Liz the receptionist at Melbourne and she was extremely kind to me and told me that she would ask one of the vets if they could come out to me if they were not too busy but that they usually did not do this. Emma one of the vets at the surgery telephoned me and agreed to come out to me, she turned out to be an absolutely wonderful, caring person who made my little lad’s passing easier to bear for both him and me. I cannot thank Emma, Emily the nurse who came along with her and Liz the receptionist enough for being so kind and caring they are just the sort of people you need in this kind of job.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
