Reviews
Yes, I can recommend that place. The vet can be a bit grumpy at times, but he has a heart of gold. He's a very good vet and doesn't do unnecessary procedures. He only does what's necessary and makes sense.
I took my healthy 4-year-old cat, Kitty, to this practice on November 21, 2025, for spaying. Sadly, she died during the procedure. The incision made, in my opinion, was significantly larger than usual, approximately 10 cm. The communication after the incident was very unsatisfactory: I was only informed by phone afterward, and I found the vet's explanation inadequate and lacking in empathy. The entire situation was extremely stressful for me, and as a pet owner, I felt neither well-informed nor well-cared for. Based on this experience, I unfortunately cannot recommend this practice.
A very rude and disrespectful doctor. He doesn't listen properly, gives a few injections, and then immediately demands €100. The following day, I wanted to ask why my cat still wasn't eating after three days, what the injections had done, and that I was worried my cat might die. His response, and I quote, was: "Don't worry, your cat won't die, he's so fat." The guy is probably around 90 years old, his face is so red from drinking, and he can't even walk straight! Anyone who voluntarily goes to this doctor deserves what they get.
I find the last few comments completely unnecessary and a bit unfair. The veterinarian helped us quickly and easily. He was obviously not in good health, and I believe this profession is very demanding in the long run. You certainly see and experience many things that aren't pleasant and hard to swallow. I couldn't possibly do that. If your animal has a truly serious health problem, it's best to go to a veterinary clinic, not necessarily a small animal practice. That's how I see it, in light of my previous comments. Always be fair and don't speak so negatively about other people; that's simply not appropriate!
A very unfriendly veterinarian… after inquiring about a pigeon in distress, the response was, “That’s not my problem… just leave it and the problem will solve itself.” His rudeness and indifference truly shocked me. He has failed in his profession of “helping animals.”
