I am very disappointed with my experience at this veterinary clinic regarding care for exotic birds. I brought my budgie in for nail clipping on several occasions, and unfortunately the nails were clipped badly more than once. During the most recent visit, my budgie’s leg was cut in several places during the procedure. This is far beyond a minor mistake. Since then, my bird appears unwell, which is extremely worrying. Exotic pets require specialized handling and experience. Based on my repeated experiences, I would strongly advise bird owners to seek a veterinarian who specializes in avian or exotic animal care.

Unfortunately we met a very rude person on a reception desk, women over 40 years old with lip piercing. She raised a voice and mage me feel so uncomfortable even if question was sensible and polite. She asked to deal with us other workers after we finish our appointment, but it wasn't nice at all. We booked a dental service for December but I am not sure if we want to come back there. As a person with disability I will struggle to deal with this worker.

Grabbed our £75 for a 2 minute consultation, but the poor dog needs an op ASAP. After 5 days no price no date. How would u like a tumor hanging out of your eye socket. DOGS LIFES MATTER!!!!!!! POOR VERY POOR..

We can't fault them, we had a hard decision to make about our beautiful cat who took ill. Everyone who was involved with her treatment were brilliant and did everything they could. Unfortunately we had to make the worst decision anyone could make, the young vet we saw was very sympathetic and caring.

My dog was previously registered with another large vets who diagnosed her with bone cancer. I felt uncomfortable for various reasons with them so changed to Oakfield, Tamworth. Laura is great with my girl who hates trips to the vets, Darcy is a calm as I've ever seen her at the vets. She has had to have her leg amputated due to a large tumour growing on it. She has recovered so well and is so much happier now. Laura speaks to you with respect, spends time explaining things to you and really cares. The vet nurses are kind and professional. One star has been knocked off purely due to the lack of local emergency provision. Currently there is only 1 vet in Tamworth with emergency cover in the town, 10 mins versus 30 mins (to Solihull) makes all the difference in an emergency. These vets are full so there is a clear need for this service in Tamworth. Note that the emergency vets Oakfield use are very good though, 608 Vets, Solihull. Thank you for giving me back my bright eyed beautiful dog, she's had a tough few months.
