Overdale Veterinary Centre in Buxton is an RCVS-accredited IVC Evidensia practice that offers farm services as well as emergency and routine care for horses, ponies and donkeys, alongside a Pet Care Plan. It is also listed as a veterinary nurse training practice. Recent feedback is largely very positive about the care from the clinical team, quick access to appointments and calm handling of nervous pets, though a small number of reviews raise concerns about reception/admin and fees, and one review makes a very serious post-operative complaint.
