    I did not have the best experience at this veterinary practice and unfortunately often felt unwelcome when bringing my dog in for appointments - this was apparent from the very first appointment. My dog is a large breed and naturally quite nervous, and I quickly noticed that the vets themselves seemed uncomfortable around him. Dogs pick up on energy very easily, and after his first appointment he became increasingly anxious every time we visited. There was no effort from the vets to familiarize them selves to my dog at all. I also had a similar experience to another reviewer regarding one of the female vets. During one consultation I was unnecessarily alarmed about Brucellosis, despite my dog later testing completely negative. I also found some comments and wording quite insensitive, including a discussion around “when you give your dog away,” which was upsetting to hear considering I have had him for over 6 years and he is a much-loved member of the family. I feel communication and bedside manner with clients could be improved significantly. Since leaving this practice, I have found another vet who has been absolutely fantastic with my dog. The difference has been night and day — my dog now happily walks into appointments and leaves wagging his tail. I also found this practice extremely expensive, with what often felt like overly excessive recommendations and procedures. Previously, prescription charges were so high that it felt almost impossible to source medication elsewhere affordably. My current vet charges only £10 for prescriptions, which highlights the difference. Overall, I personally would not return or recommend this practice based on my experience. I believe there are improvements needed in both client communication and pricing transparency.

    I have been bringing my dog Lily to this vet since the clinic first opened, and for the past year my dog Mango has been going there for check-ups as well. I honestly could not ask for better care. Dr. Oli is extremely professional, gentle, and very thorough during every visit. He always explains everything clearly, discusses the available treatment options, and is transparent about the costs. I really appreciate that he is never pushy and always makes me feel that Lily and Mango are receiving the highest standard of care. The staff are also always friendly, welcoming, and smiling, which makes every visit a positive experience. Thank you all for your wonderful professionalism, kindness, and excellent care.

    We visited this veterinary practice as new patients with our Frenchie, and we were extremely satisfied with the service. Sadly, he had caught a bit of a cold during the rainy weather, but he is feeling much better now. Thank you very much for the professional, caring and kind treatment. We truly appreciate the excellent service and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this vet to others. many thanks 🙏🐶😍

    Dr Oli and the team are fantastic. They are so friendly and clearly love what they do. They helped my kitten Salem after he had been exposed to Lilies - they explained the treatment plan and acted swiftly. This was super stressful with Salem only being 3 months old at the time, but I was frequently updated with videos, photos and calls to explain what any updates and anything we were looking for. I can’t thank them enough for their help and compassion through this - Salem will happily stay a patient at The Finchley Vet ❤️

    A very welcoming and well-run clinic. The staff are kind, patient, and take the time to explain everything clearly, which really puts you at ease. The space is clean and calm, and it’s clear they genuinely care about the animals they treat. A great choice if you’re looking for a supportive local vet.

    Dr. Oli and his team are brilliant professionals. We absolutely trust this clinic and are very happy with the care and treatment our cat receives here. Recently, our cat had a dental scaling procedure, and we were extremely pleased with how gently and attentively she was treated throughout. The team was caring, reassuring, and clearly very experienced. We’re grateful for the excellent care and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this clinic to others.
