Clinic Overview

Miba Veterinary Surgery is described in reviews as a family-run practice led by Julian and his wife. Based on recent owner reports, it appears set up for everyday pet care with an emphasis on spotting issues early (for example, a routine booster appointment where a cat’s slight weight loss was noticed and investigated) and fitting in short-notice appointments when needed. Concrete examples mentioned include diagnosing an overactive thyroid within 24 hours (with ongoing medication started) and removing matted fur for a cat.
