Oaklands Veterinary Centre appears to cover both small animals and equine work, with “Equine Referrals” and “Small Animals” referenced in available clinic information, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Emergency veterinary services are included in the structured clinic data. From the latest reviews, owners describe some very specific positives—such as clear explanations and follow-up calls after a dental procedure for an elderly dog, and support during end-of-life care for a cat (including a sympathy card with a paw print). However, several recent 1‑star reviews strongly dispute this experience, alleging poor communication, an overly money-focused approach, and unprofessional interactions involving reception/management. No corporate group ownership is stated in the information provided.

Our Score (51/100)
Beck Veterinary Practice is a general veterinary clinic where reviews most often mention straightforward problem-solving and a clean, well-kept practice. Owners describe issues being “sorted out… with no fuss and no faff,” and there are multiple mentions of diagnostic work such as scans and X‑rays.
