Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Divilly Veterinary Clinic is most often described in reviews as a general small-animal practice that also hosts a visiting (“roaming”) vet for exotic pets. Owners mention routine care (injections and check-ups), surgery with detailed aftercare guidance, and more investigative work-ups (tests scheduled to pinpoint a spine problem) rather than “rest and see.”
Concrete points owners repeatedly mention include
- •A clean clinic environment.
- •Thorough examinations and planning of appropriate tests (including for spinal issues).
- •Clear aftercare explanations following an operation.
- •An emphasis (in one exotic-pet case) on aiming for the least invasive treatment route possible.
One recent review conflicts with the overwhelmingly positive feedback: it alleges repeated appointment mix-ups (expecting a particular vet but being seen by someone else) and describes the owner as arrogant/unprofessional.
