Goddard Veterinary Group Mandeville Veterinary Hospital-Northolt

AVOID THIS PLACE….I was just there (21/3/23) and on call vet needs to be struck off. We brought our German shepherd in as he was having trouble lying down. We knew there was no broken bones or cuts, and must have been a painful sprain. The vet did his checks and administered 2 pain relief injections. We have just checked one of the injections given and it was a sedative used for post op. He prescribed a drowsy effect pain killer to be take upon our return home. To our horror, our dog had passed out in the car, unresponsive to calls, dilated pupils and extreme saliva (this is a very well train dog that follows every command, and rarely dribbles). Upon getting him out of the vehicle eventually by carrying, he made multiple explosive excrements (he has perfectly firm stool due to a controlled diet with all necessary supplements). We are still waiting for the effects of the pain killers to wear off (3 hours later) I have no issues paying good money, but the vets on call need to be prescribing the right medication, as well as advising us of the possible issues we may face. He literally shoved the 2 injections, charged his bill and said good bye. I would like the management team to take action and remove your on call vet “Ovidiu Florincas”. He is a menance, and probably will open you up to multiple lawsuits. You will be hearing from my solicitor if appropriate action is not taken against the vet in question and adequate procedure updates to inform your customers of the steps, and side effects post treatment/consultation.
