Park Lane Vets

Park Lane Vets is a modern, clean clinic led by a vet repeatedly named “Mary” in reviews. Owners describe a practice that takes time with cases (including spending over an hour attempting a microchip appointment) and is willing to try non-medication approaches where appropriate (“not jumping to medication if it’s not needed”). Reviews also mention acupuncture sessions for an elderly dog, in-clinic blood tests during a cat consultation, and support around end-of-life care (including a condolence card after a pet’s final day). One negative review says the team struggled to handle a shy/anxious cat for microchipping despite multiple visits and sedatives, while another clinic completed the same procedure calmly.

People

• •

  Mary (vet; role implied by reviews): Mentioned repeatedly as the key clinician.

• •

  Owners describe her as taking a more conservative approach when appropriate (one review says she “looks outside the box” and doesn’t automatically push medication).

• •

  Specific examples include acupuncture sessions that helped an elderly dog stay comfortable, and support during end-of-life care, including “care and compassion” and a condolence card.

• •

  Wider team: Reviews describe the staff as polite and friendly, and one reviewer notes that even staff “in for experience” were helpful. One review, however, says the team did not seem equipped for shy/anxious cats during attempts to microchip.
