Thank you to David Platten for the exceptional kindness and care which he has shown, both to our 18 year old and much loved cat, and also to our family. If he had not promptly diagnosed and treated our cat when he was unwell in the summer, I don't think he would still be with us. Once again this week at Charcoal's routine check up, David showed his usual gentleness to Charcoal, and understanding of how much he means to us. I highly recommend this practice - all staff members are kind and dedicated to the animals who are in their care.

Exceptional vets. Went there on recommendation as previous vet was pretty useless and seemed more interested in racking up the bill than helping our cat. Unfortunately our cat had to be euthanised which was obviously very upsetting but GianMarco, I believe was the name of the vet, couldn’t have been kinder and more understanding. Can’t speak highly enough of Sherwood’s.

Our first visit to Sherwood vets, with a normally very nervous dachshund. The vet handled Winnie with a confidence that was received well by the dog. Injections given without Winnie even noticing.

I want to thank Jian Marco, Amy and Max. The 3 that I have managed to get names for. They really do care and will advise. Some vets are known for wanting to make people spend but these guys have been nothing but honest, fair and really do everything to put me and my 2 French bulldogs at ease for any worries. I have recommend to a friend who has now changed over and registered with Sherwood. Thank you to all the team, sorry I haven’t caught all your names yet!

I don’t normally write a review but the excellent treatment of my son’s dog (Jackson) by the staff and especially David has warranted this message. Jackson had post surgery complications that David and his team managed to rectify with great care and attention. Thank you. I can’t recommend you highly enough.

I changed my dogs veterinary care over to Sherwood’s In Hampton as the vets I was using were amazing but had become very expensive. Our first visit was Thursday 8th May 2025 and I am very happy and impressed with the level of care that my dogs received. Archie - one of my dogs - is super nervous but was so calm and relaxed when the vet was handling him, checking him over, giving him his vaccination, our other dog Angel the same. The nurse on duty was really friendly and informative and we were made to feel really welcome. When it came to me paying the bill I was just as impressed!!! Something I normally dread turned out to be nowhere near as expensive as before. They deserve a five star rating!!!!!!

I have to admit I was a little worried about taking our nervous, rescue dog in for a small procedure this morning - but my goodness, I didn't need to be. She was so well behaved, enjoyed lots of cuddles and attention, all the results were good news, and back home for breakfast. A huge thank you to Gianmarco (super lovely vet) and the team there. All the teams at Sherwood Vets are brilliant, and after being with them for over 20 years, we wouldn't put the care of our pets with anyone else.

I was very impressed yesterday from Gianmarco the new doctor. He done a very accurate check to Romeo and he made my dog very comfortable. He checked everything, temperature, reflexes, pain level. I wanted to congratulate the Owner of the surgery Mr David for the success choice he made recruiting Gianmarco. 5 Stars 🌟 doctor.

Managed to get a same day appointment for my dog who had hurt her leg during zoomies at the park in the morning. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. My dog is a very nervous rescue, and the staff here were super gentle with her. She's now on the mend. 😊
