Eliza Vet – Vets in North Maida Vale
Clinic Overview
Eliza Vet describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic. Based on its website and recent client accounts, it appears particularly set up for orthopaedic and complex surgical cases, alongside routine care, with rehabilitation (hydrotherapy/physio) available as part of recovery. Owners repeatedly describe detailed pre-op explanations (including one account of a surgeon using 3D models and a screen to show what would be done and which prosthetic components would be ordered), and frequent updates such as a post-op phone call the same morning after a spay.

Several reviews also mention help beyond the consult room—e.g., handling insurer administration on request and being flexible about discharge/pick‑up timing when a pet needed to be more settled before going home.

This review has been long overdue. My dog suffered cruciate ligament damage, and Dr Dario and his team were absolute lifesavers. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else. The level of care and the technology at the clinic are unmatched. TPLO surgery was completed, followed by hydrotherapy and physiotherapy sessions. My dog is now walking perfectly again, and it’s all thanks to Dr Dario and the team. Thank you for everything you’ve done!

Dario and the wonderful team saved our greyhounds life when she was going downhill fast. I had been told by another vet that the operation wouldn’t work and was therefore not worth trying. Speaking to Dario though, who is a surgeon himself, he knew exactly what was needed. He is so knowledgeable and caring and kept the cost down for us, it meant we could afford to save our beloved dog. I thank you all at Eliza vets from the bottom of my heart. Nellie is recovering amazingly well, and is nearly back to her old self.

We had our cockapoo spayed today at Elizavet and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The staff pre and post op were incredibly friendly, attentive and informative. It was a really quick and smooth process. We took her in for 8:45 and had a call at 11:00 to say all had gone well and she was in recovery. Thank you so much for taking care of her and making her comfortable. We would definitely recommend Elizavet!

Eliza Vets have been amazing with Gandalf and his leg surgery, I am so pleased with how well his surgery went and his recovery is going so well. Vet Dairo and the nurse team take time and care to ensure you completely understand surgical procedures and the reasoning behind them. Dr Dairo even demonstrated using 3d models and the screen exactly what he was going to do, and the company he would use to order the prosthetic parts. The vets is spotless and the atmosphere is very calm, Dr Dairo is very knowledgeable and confident which reassured me and placed me at ease that Gandalf was in good hands. I was very nervous to do the surgery. At my request Eliza vets took care of administration with the insurers, kept me well informed and updated, and the nurse team who took care of the discharge were so friendly, highly knowledgeable answering all of my questions. I was happy that they made sure Gandalf was only discharged when he was ready and settled, and were so flexible about pick up time. I would highly recommend them!

My little kitten has just arrived and was extremely well received at ElizaVet. From the receptionist to the veterinarians, everyone was super loving, professional, and patient. They took the time to answer all my questions and really made me feel comfortable as a new cat mum. Price-wise, so far everything has been very fair—nothing over the top or surprising. I’m really happy to have found them!

The BEST veterinary clinic in London!!!! Dario is the most competent and genuinely caring doctor, he will take care of your furry friends like they’re its own. My dog Axel had a sarcoma behind his ear and Doctor Dario, after very carefully examining him and explaining to me all the risks, was able to remove it fully without touching his ear! The whole team helped us through the scar healing process and was extremely helpful and available for as many check ups as were needed. From the staff at the front desk, to the nurses and the vets, everyone is extremely nice, helpful and supportive. Me and Axel had the best time every time we went!! I would absolutely recommend to anyone whose pup is having health issues, as they will all be taken care of in the best way possible!!! THANK YOU to the whole team! ❤️

We’re so grateful to Dr. Dario for taking such wonderful care of our Ceku. Since we adopted her, she had to go through a few health challenges, and Dr. Dario had always been patient, caring, and truly loving towards her. Even after moving out of the neighbourhood, we continued to come back to Elizavet because of the trust and comfort we felt with the team. Unfortunately, the long drives became stressful for our cat, so we had to find a vet within walking distance. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Dario and his team to any furry families!

Amazing vet clinic headed by Dr Dario and Arietta who are not only are superb professionals but hug and cuddle their patients. Our whippet Juno got injured on the heath and was rushed to Eliza with her walker. At first her wounds looked superficial but under Xray they were life threatening. Not only did Dr Dario save her life with a long,long and exhausting surgery he also tucked a huge scar into her armpit. After 5 weeks ‘bed rest’ she is ready for the chase again.

Dr Dario and the whole team at Elizavet clinic are just incredible, their professionalism and services are exceptional and their care for dogs goes beyond. Our 6 month old boy Labrador had an accident and broke his 4 paw bones just before Christmas while we were away. He needed immediate surgery and Dario and his team were a life saver! They took our puppy on the day after the accident, explained everything to us from procedure to recovery in a lot of detail and answered all our questions and more. Dario proceeded with the surgery next day first thing in the morning and it was a success. Our puppy has recovered in 6 weeks after wearing a splint and needing complete rest and Dario has been amazing checking him up every week for the wounds, responding to texts and calls on demand and following up his recovery. Dr Dario has the kindest heart and biggest passion for animals which translates into his amazing care and outstanding expertise. The biggest thank you for looking after our puppy ❤️
