Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

PetRepair Vets is an independent, privately owned clinic founded in early 2021 by Dr. Gabor Nemes. Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for more involved medical and surgical work (including emergency/critical care, orthopaedics, advanced dentistry, imaging, and an in-house lab), rather than just routine check-ups.

From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention: vets explaining options in plain language; support for anxious or fear-reactive dogs (including patience and taking time to reduce stress); and at least one report of a vet advising where to buy medication cheaper than the practice could supply. One recent review strongly disputes the accuracy of clinical notes and describes a distressing consultation involving a cat, concerns about oxygen therapy, and follow-up handled via a solicitor—so experiences appear mixed.

Pricing

  • No standard prices are listed in the provided information.
  • Reviews conflict on cost: one owner says “not the cheapest,” while others describe the practice as “reasonably priced” and mention being told where to buy medication cheaper than the clinic.

People

  • Dr. Gabor Nemes (founder): Multiple reviewers say he spends time explaining conditions and options “in layman’s terms” and focusing on getting to a diagnosis (“leaves no stone unturned,” as one review puts it). One review describes him spending significant time when the practice was closed due to concern over a dog’s post-operative allergic reactions.
  • Dr. Aleksandra Nowicka: Mentioned by name in multiple reviews. Owners describe her as patient with anxious dogs (one notes their dog took treats from her hand during the visit) and credit her with caring for two dogs over 12 months with “full recovery” reported by that owner.
  • Rochelle: Named in one review alongside Gabor as being “so helpful” (role not specified).
  • Front desk/reception team: Repeatedly praised for being welcoming and helpful; one reviewer emphasises they were reassuring during visits with a sick pet.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.9 stars from 215 reviews. “”

  • Clear explanations: owners repeatedly mention vets taking time and explaining diagnoses/treatment options in plain language.
  • Support for anxious/nervous pets: several reviews describe dogs that are extremely anxious or fear-reactive being handled with patience and lower stress than at other practices.
  • Going beyond standard appointments: one review describes extended time spent with a dog outside normal hours due to concern after post-op allergic reactions.
  • Pricing/value experiences vary: some describe reasonable pricing and transparency (including being directed to cheaper medication elsewhere), while another explicitly says the clinic isn’t the cheapest.
  • A serious negative account contrasts with the otherwise positive themes: one recent 1-star review disputes the clinic’s clinical notes, describes a consultation where euthanasia was suggested, alleges distress during handling, raises concerns about oxygen delivery, and reports dissatisfaction with how record/CCTV requests were handled (including solicitor involvement).
