Absolutely fantastic veterinary clinic. No problem getting a last minute appointment, they are always so accommodating and understanding. Reasonable prices for a private clinic considering the area. Greg is very matter of fact with his advice and straight forward to deal with. I wish we had discovered them earlier!

I have been taking my cats to Burnt Ash vets for more than 30 years. Greg has always been an excellent vet and I trust his advice completely. Recently, my cat Hercules had an abscess on his back. Greg cleaned it and stitched him up and Hercules is now making a very good recovery. When my cat Jesse became terminally ill last year with tumours, Greg administered palliative care over a number of months. I elected not to put Jesse through invasive treatment after Greg explained all the options and I was very satisfied that Jesse had the best treatment to help him at the end of his life. In my experience Greg explains the options in a matter of fact way and has always been very focused on the well being of my animal companions. I would not go anywhere else.

Greg is a wonderful and experienced vet and all staff at the practice are kind, caring and good to deal with. Reasonably priced compared to others in area and never an issue getting an appointment, even last minute. Highly recommend.

Greg is a fantastic no nonsense vet. It is super easy to get an appointment here, you're never waiting long and he is super efficient when you're in the consult. I used to use Pets At Home until they refused to see our dog in an emergency. Greg agreed to take a look even though the dog wasn't a current patient. Since then, I haven't looked back. I don't know how Greg does these hours by himself, but it's great knowing you're seeing the same vet each time. Prices are super reasonable and they don't take the mick.

We've used Burnt Ash for a few years. It's an independent vet, which is quite rare these days. We're able to get an appointment quickly when required, and it's not too expensive (relatively speaking). You always see the same vet, which is a big plus in my view, and Greg knows his patients. Greg's great - he's no nonsense and firm, which I understand won't be everyone's cup of tea, but he's very experienced, knows what he's talking about, and is an expert handler of our cat. He's also got a very dry sense of humour which I appreciate!
