About Sage
A quieter kind of clinic.
Dr Eleni Marinou opened Sage in 2014 in a former bookbinder's workshop on Lykavittou. She wanted somewhere nobody, human or animal, felt rushed.
Ten years on we are five vets, seven nurses and one very old tortoise. We are still independent, still on the same street, and still booking thirty-minute appointments.
What we care about
Time first
Thirty minutes as standard. Rushing makes animals anxious and people forget their questions.
Plain words
We explain what we see and what it means, with the X-ray on screen if that helps.
Honest costs
Written estimates before treatment, and options at more than one price.
Every species
Rabbits and tortoises get the same care and attention as dogs and cats.
