Veterinarian

Maybe Mr Fogle is good in writing books but as a vet I wouldn't recommend him! He is very arrogant, unfriendly, rude. no respect for sick animals. STAY AWAY!

i have been meaning to write a review about Mr Fogle for sometime but have had better things to do. Walking past his practice today reminded me that I must share my experiences with you. Experience 1 Fogle advised me to change my dog food to the brand (Science Plan) he sold in his shop because my dog had an upset stomach. He actually diagnosed her with colitis. Her condition didn't improve and I had to return on several occasions for medication. Finally I decided to change her food to another brand (Lilies Kitchen) low and behold I never had another problem. Unfortunately my dog had now been suffering unnecessarily for years due to his misdiagnosis and bad advice. Experience 2 My dog is very fury and whilst we were at the clinic for a health check if I remember asking if my dog could have a tidy and trim between her back legs. I was actually in the room during this procedure but could not see exactly what was happening due to the position my dog was in. Suddenly my dog let our a very distressing loud bark/scream. I asked if everything was okay and they reassured me it was. To be honest I wasn't sure of this as the noise from my dog was definitely an indication of severe pain but you trust these people, right? As soon as we left my dog started scooting her bum along the pavement at first I thought it was perhaps just irritated a little where she had been trimmed. She continued to do this, when we got to the park she tried to do a wee she let out a another distressing bark/scream, you could see on her face that she was in pain and didn't know what to do with herself. When I got home I examined her to find that they had cut off a layer of skin right on the tip of her daisy, it was red raw. I contacted the clinic straight away and they told me it was shaving rash! I sent them images of shaving rash examples on a dog which was obviously nothing like the injury they had caused. Now I'm a fair man and realise that accidents do happen but what they did by trying to cover it up is unforgivable. The staff were all in cahoots with Fogle in a desperate attempt to cover up what had happened. My dog was uncomfortable for over a week and crying when she had to dog wee. Fogle finally conceded after me having to force the issue and offered me a packet of treats as compensation. Experience 3 I woke up one morning to find my dog looking poorly and staying in her basket so I took her straight to the clinic where she was examined by Fogle. He basically diagnosed her as possibly having anything thing from a broken spine to organ failure and said she would need to stay in over night for tests. I was worried sick and spent the whole day not knowing what to do with myself. Then I got a late afternoon phone call from the clinic saying I could come and pick her up. When I got there I was told it was nothing that Fogle had said in fact it was trapped wind! Fogle wanted to charge me £400.00 to tell me this. I actually checked this issue online and it's not an uncommon problem, one of which Fogle would have come across before. Instead he saw this as an opportunity to take as much money from me as possible. For me this was the final straw I didn't pay him and he never challenged me which tells it's own story. To make matters even worse when I tried to move to another vet Fogle had written on my notes that I tried to avoid paying him and the vet would not take me on his books for that reason. Thankfully I have found another vet who so far has been great. If you like being lead up the garden path, being lied to, having your pet misdiagnosed at every opportunity and have money to burn. Fogle fits the bill perfectly.

Very good vet who really cares about the animals and makes sure they're will looked after.

Vets are lovely and kind to both humans and pets

Took my cat Figaro today and the lady vet - Kara - was super kind and knowledgeable. She took time to explain with great detail what was wrong with my cat and the treatment to follow. Highly recommended :)

Super friendly, lovely vet practice! Highly recommend.

Great every time, I've got very nervous dog and they really go out of their way to make sure she's stressing as little as possible. Can't rate highly enough. Been going there for years even now I've moved out of the area I'm still coming back to Beaumont.

Very kind and informative staff, do recommend!

Great organisation. Every vet should be a member

I am not able to take down my very, very old review so here it is now. Avoid at all costs, Dr. Charles Makepeace killed my dog so he could go on his two week holiday. He terrified me into believing my dog could die at any moment. Yet he could not even be bothered to let me know-we when he was coming to our house and we waited all day. He may be gone now but Miha is all about money now too. Do NOT go there, I had neighbours who warned me but I did not listen until he lied to me, my puppy did not get her stitches done by him they were done by a totally inexperienced vet tech. He had been our vet and I know the practiced stitches of an experienced vet, he fobbed us off with a new vet tech, no doubt his boyfriend. My puppy suffered as a result and we were charged an outrageous amount.

Really fantastic and personal service. All the staff are absolutely lovely.

One of the best vets in London. Margaret is very helpful on giving advice and Dale is such a miracle worker.

The staff are helpful and friendly and the location is convenient. My cat and I have never waited more than a couple of minutes to see the vet. Recommended!

Great first impression last week, having taken my puppy there. They clearly love animals and put our little fellow right at ease. Professional and friendly too.

Fantastic vets, great care, knowledgeable staff. We've had to use in an emergency for our puppy and they were awesome in responding and in their after care

Lovely vets and staff that provide an excellent service. I trust them to look after my beautiful cat Suna, and you should too.

I cannot fault the service provided by the Highbury Practice. We transferred to this vet many years back following an unfortunate experience at another local practice and have always been very impressed by the care and consideration with which our pets have been treated. Louise and her assistants were particularly sensitive and gentle in dealing with our 19 year old cat when his time came. I highly recommend the practice.
