Orthopaedic and Soft Tissue Surgery referrals are seen by Horatio Marchis PGCertSAS MRCVS. 

Horatio is available to support you with no obligation and free advice including x ray and laboratory results interpretation.

Hip replacements can also be performed at Lime Trees Vets in conjunction with Tom Gilding BVSc BSc CertSAS MRCVS.

We are happy to accept cases for a complete referral, or if preferred, we can work with you. We have many years experience of dealing with routine and complex surgical cases, and are able to offer excellent value for money by today’s referral standards whilst still maintaining excellent levels of care.

We endeavour to deliver an excellent certificate level referral service which is friendly, reliable, local and independent.  As many of you know ‘Vets Now’ Stoke service runs from our hospital in Meir Park.  This means all our cases receive 24 hour Veterinary Care should they require it from an experienced expert team of emergency vets lead by Rafal Boron, who recently completed his certificate in emergency and critical care training.

Testimonials

Nice, clean, welcoming and very reasonably priced vets. My dog Kit came here for surgery following breaking her leg in two places & also ligament damage. The people were lovely I had no worries on leaving her in their capable hands. I could call anytime of the day or night to see how she was doing. Would not hesitate to use them again. Many thanks.
