Our dog Jake has been under the care of Gareth since he diagnosed him with elbow dysplasia. Gareth has been amazing with Jake and is always so caring with him. We recently booked an appointment as I was worried about Jakes leg. Gareth examined Jake and after was able to explain our options clearly. Gareth has been nothing but professional and compassionate in dealing with Jake and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone. Thank you 😀
My 10 year old Lurcher, Bert had a TPLO operation in Jan 22 due to a cruciate injury.
I can not fault the care and service provided by Arthurs Veterinary Specialists. The initial consult was very thorough and Gareth took time to ensure I completely understood the options, what the operation would consist of, the costs involved and the after care and recovery required.
The day of the operation went smoothly with great communication, a detailed hand over with what to expect throughout the day, a telephone call from Gareth post operation to confirm all was well and explain what had been carried out. The collection hand over was again very thorough with great aftercare instructions from the team and a good explanation of what I could expect to see happening over the next few days and weeks.
The post op notes provided were fantastic. Bert’s physio commented that they were the most in depth post op notes she had seen which made it much easier for her to devise an effective rehabilitation physio plan.
I received a telephone call from the team after a few days to check that recovery was proceeding as it should be and the recovery continued to go smoothly. The 8 week post op x-rays were carried out to confirm healing was proceeding as expected and further instructions received on the next few weeks of recovery.
Overall, the whole experience was made as easy as possible, with great communication throughout and fantastic customer service. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Arthurs Veterinary Specialists to anyone looking for an orthopaedic specialist and have already done so. My physio was also so impressed she has also recommended them!
Bert has made an excellent recovery and is doing really well and back to enjoying his walks again. Thank you to everyone at AVS involved.
Our 3 year old Pug had been suffering from patellar luxation in his hind leg which was gradually getting worse. He underwent corrective surgery in January 2022 with Gareth after a consultation and X-rays. I’m a nervous dog owner but throughout this whole experience I have felt informed and secure. The staff at Arthurs are always friendly and very helpful. Pugsley had to stay overnight following his operation, the night nurse called with an update late at night and again in the morning. Gareth has been on hand to provide support throughout the recovery period which has been most appreciated. Most importantly, Pugsley has made a brilliant recovery, the scar on his leg is minimal considering the operation and Gareth’s work has changed Pugsley’s life. In a few months he’ll be back to running around on the beach! Can’t thank everyone at Arthurs enough.
My Lowchen Derek had TPLO surgery with Gareth in August of this year. I was really nervous about it because of the length of recovery and the risk of problems. Gareth explained all these really clearly and gave me a great deal of reassurance. The operation itself was a success and Derek has made a really quick recovery. At 8 weeks post op he has minimal lameness and appears almost back to his old self.
The follow up care has been great and I have found Gareth to be really responsive to any queries I have had. He has always responded quickly to emails and has allowed me to send videos of Derek’s progress so that I know everything is on track.
I would definitely recommend this surgery with Arthurs Orthopaedics.
Millie our 9 year old cockapoo became lame with a torn cruciate ligament. She had the same problem 3 years ago with her other leg. (a design fault with this model!).
Gareth was then working for a different practice and he undertook TPLO surgery and fixed her leg. An excellent job and you wouldn't know she had ever had a problem. When the other leg ligament went it was with no hesitation to track down Gareth who had now started his own business, Arthurs Orthopaedics and get him to fix things.
The new practice was amazing. Really caring helpful service. So clever to do this complicated and detailed operation and to have my supper, bouncy, fun loving dog back and running about on all four legs.
I can not thank and praise Gareth and Arthurs Orthopaedics enough.
