Overpriced and poor at diagnosis

I have been using Medivet HGS for the past 6 years. John is a very nice person and a true animal lover who has been always very gentle with both my dogs and a friend's dog. However I would NOT recommend this practice to anyone. In my experience, not only is it very overpriced, the tendency is push unnecessary procedures (such as blood tests, X-rays and ultra scans). The results are never conclusive enough to give you any definite diagnosis and even more tests are suggested. Blood profiles that are done on the premises by other vets are always send to the lab by Medivet. Estimates of in-house procedures are always exceeded. After months and thousands spend two of the dogs had to be referred to Royal Veterinary College to diagnose an allergy and sarcopic mange. Third dog had an X-ray and ultra scan done, this missed advanced terminal tumor (which the dog died from within 3 weeks) but we were advised to do MRI scans for further investigation. I would strongly advice to go elsewhere.
