Rossella Carrozza has been amazing with my cat Ceaser, who’s been struggling for years because of incorrectly positioned lower eyelids. She’s a true specialist in veterinary ophthalmology and so caring, taking the time to explain everything and guide us through every step of his treatment. Thanks to her, Ceaser is finally getting the care he needs, and I’m so grateful for her patience, knowledge, and kindness. Can’t recommend her enough!

Can’t rate this place high enough. They have been absolutely brilliant with my baby from the start. Emar has been amazing and I can’t thank her enough for saving my babies eye and regaining her vision.

Eddie (Shih Tzu, approx 10 yrs old) had a small corneal ulcer. For approximately 6 weeks of weekly local vet checkups/treatment with a range of eye drops, the ulcer did not heal and we got a referral to Eye Veterinary Clinic. The vet gave us our options and we opted for a same-day operation. He was extremely well looked after, we were talked through the medication thoroughly. They even offered us assistance with making a pet insurance claim. His recovery was flawless, and he was fully healed ahead of schedule. Would recommend to anyone.

Wonderful care from all members of the team for our lovely dog Bonnie, who perforated her left cornea. Rob was wonderful, attentive and very knowledgeable and she is currently doing well post op. Had the reassurance I needed as both a vet and owner (especially since vets/nurse's pets have a reputation for not reading the textbook!). I always highly recommend the team at EVC and have referred many of my patients there for the last couple of years amd would never take my own anywhere else for eye concerns beyond my caliber as a GP vet! Also had the pleasure to shadow the team for a day in the clinic back in June and Emer, Anita and Rachael were a pleasure to learn from. Thank you all again

We took my dog here at the most horrible time when she had gone completely blind almost overnight. Rossella has been outstanding in her care for Lexi, giving her the most incredible care which resulted in her regaining some sight. She has gone over and beyond in both her expertise and genuine compassion. The place and all of the staff are first class, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this practice. Thanks Rossella.

We have been taking our Spaniel here for over a year with an eye problem. We knew that ultimately the eye would have to be removed. Although it would have been cheaper at our local vets, we wanted to complete the journey with Rob who has been exceptional. He genuinely cares about your precious pet and the treatment and care has been first class by Rob and his team. The surgery went well. Today is a month checkup. It has healed well and looks good and above all, our pooch is happy and pain free. A big thankyou. Zoe and Steve Blackham and of course, Mitsy.
