Independent Clinic

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.

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.

People

  • Dr Dario (named repeatedly; described by one reviewer as “a surgeon himself”)
  • Owners most often highlight clear, detailed explanations of options and risks (including a report of demonstrating a planned procedure using 3D models).
  • Multiple accounts describe him handling urgent, serious cases (e.g., cruciate ligament injury requiring TPLO; severe injuries identified after X-ray; post-accident fracture surgery).
  • Follow-through is a recurring theme: examples include weekly check-ups during recovery in one case, and being responsive to questions during rehab/discharge.
  • Nicole (named in one review)
  • Mentioned as part of the team during a life-threatening situation where the owner felt the clinic “saved our dog’s life.”
  • Arietta (named in one review)
  • Mentioned alongside Dr Dario as leading the clinic, in the context of an intensive surgery and recovery.
  • Nursing/front-desk team (roles not individually named in most reviews)
  • Owners cite practical support such as discharge guidance, answering questions, and (in one account) managing insurance administration at the owner’s request.

Reviews

4.9 stars from 111 reviews. - High volume of surgical success stories, especially orthopaedic cases (TPLO for cruciate injury; fracture repair; leg surgery), with owners describing strong recoveries.

  • Communication during procedures is repeatedly concrete: pre/post-op briefings, time-specific updates (e.g., a call around late morning confirming a spay went well and the dog was in recovery), and explaining reasoning behind treatment choices.
  • Rehab and follow-up are frequently mentioned (hydrotherapy/physio after TPLO; repeated check-ups during healing; availability for additional check-ups when needed).
  • Cost sensitivity and admin support come up in specific ways: one owner says the vet “kept the cost down” so treatment was affordable; another mentions pricing felt “fair,” and one describes the clinic handling insurer administration on request.
