Testimonials

Here’s what our  clients say

“The care and service is exceptional!”

We travelled from Birmingham with our Labrador, Sheba, after also being given a ridiculous quote locally. I spoke on the phone with James over a Bank Holiday weekend prior to making the appointment and he could not have been more helpful... we arrived 30 minutes early and were seen straight away. Sheba was treated very well, as were we. The bill was exactly what we had been quoted.. Although the results were very worrying to us, we cannot recommend NWMRI highly enough! Many thanks to James and the team.

“A pleasant experience.. would highly recommend!”

We were here today to do a MRI scan on our dogs brain after receiving ridiculously expensive quotes around the Newcastle area. The 3 hour drive was totally worth it. Not only were they a third cheaper, our assigned vet Fiammetta Baccetti was also very professional, explained everything in detail and happily answered all our questions regarding the procedure and epilepsy in general. We felt in good hands and we could see that she likes what she does. We also spoke to the owner James, first on the phone and after in person.

Soranie

“Friendly and professional”

Bought my dog here for an MRI scan. Everyone was helpful, friendly and professional. The team here made the job of bringing Wilson in incredibly easy. Would highly recommend!

FAQS

Frequently asked questions

If you still have questions, we have the answers! Here are some of our clients' most asked questions.

Will I receive updates on my pet when they are in with you?

Our inpatients nurse will ask you to download an app called PetsApp where we send you updates. You can also use this to ask questions. Alternatively, you are also welcome to call us on 01942 242001.

Do you offer payment plans?

We offer interest free credit on all surgical procedures. All you would need to do is answer a few questions over the phone to see if you qualify.

Is there somewhere I can wait while my pet is being treated?

You are welcome to wait in our spacious waiting area. We are also situated in the centre of Wigan with plenty of shops and cafes in the surrounding area. We can give you a map and direct you!

What is the difference between a full referral and an out patient?

A full referral is where your vet sends you to us and we will take over the care of your pet and do everything that is needed. An outpatient is where your vets just want to use our scanners to get a diagnosis and they will continue the care of your pet.
