👍What Pet Owners Praised
Reviewers most often praised the day-surgery experience, highlighting kind, attentive nurses and skilled surgical and anaesthesia teams who explained procedures clearly and kept patients comfortable. Many noted thorough pre‑ and post‑op communication, efficient processes, and caring support during recovery. Several families also reported excellent labour-and-delivery care, including compassionate support during urgent C‑sections.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Concerns centred on the emergency department: repeated reports of very long waits (often several hours), inconsistent triage urgency, and some staff or physicians perceived as dismissive or rude. A few serious misdiagnosis or under‑assessment stories appeared (e.g., seizures and pneumonia initially missed), and one intensely negative obstetric outcome was described. Other minor issues mentioned were loss of personal items, limited parking, and lab staff being slow to assist walk‑ins unless booked; cleanliness was generally fine with only isolated professionalism concerns noted.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If you’re using the lab, book an appointment—walk‑ins were described as slow to be helped.
- Plan for potentially long emergency wait times; bring essentials and documentation to make your visit easier.
- For elective day surgery, expect strong perioperative support—review the pre‑op and post‑op instructions they provide and ask questions.
- For maternity care, discuss your birth plan, consent, and contingencies with the team ahead of time, and bring a support person to help advocate if needed.
- Parking can be tight; arrive early to find a spot and complete check‑in calmly.
