Quality of Care

Pros:

  • "The staff are BRILLIANT! My lovely whippet had a horrible accident in a park."
  • "Our vet Mary Louise saw us promptly, was brilliant with my pup, and very clear, informative and empathic to me."
  • "Positive - vets are knowledgeable and attentive."
  • "Easily one of the best vet hospitals in London. The staff are all super kind and professional."
  • "Professional and friendly staff, great with my cats."
  • "The team have been very friendly and professional, and we've been seen quickly each time we've visited."
  • "All the staff have been very professional, understanding and compassionate."

Cons:

  • "Patients are not given decent service and it doesn't look like the workers get fair working conditions either, from what I have seen."
  • "It takes ages to get through when you give them a call and you never see the same vet."
  • "Shows complete lack of care for their customers and their pets."
  • "The admin side has become so chaotic over the past year or so that it's becoming unbearable."
  • "The quality of communication and care once the cat was not physically with them was quite poor."
  • "I have had several infuriating conversations with the receptionists who are extremely unhelpful."
  • "Unprofessional attention (every time): rushing up, didn’t perform any exam in my dog at all."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "I can't really find words to describe how well the whole team at Streatham Hill Vets cared for our beloved cat Bmo."
  • "They're very human at dealing with our pets. They do focus on the pets' well being."
  • "We especially love Kate who is extremely understanding, polite & helpful."
  • "Professional and helpful. Can’t recommend more!"
  • "The nicest, kindest and most sensitive people you’d ever hope to have look after your pets!"
  • "The Staff are very professional and full of empathy."
  • "I 100% trust and recommend them to anyone without any doubts, even if you have to travel far, its worth it!"

Cons:

  • "The receptionist then stated that the vet does not start until 09:00."
  • "We were misinformed and told that we could not attend our pet’s cremation as it wasn’t allowed."
  • "The vet came out to say that I could leave and moved on to another client. A bit shocked, I left and started to wonder where my pet was and what would happen next…"
  • "We never received an invoice or any communications in relation to collecting her ashes despite calling them multiple times."
  • "I emailed the practice when I got home regarding my experience and have since emailed them again on Monday and rang them yesterday as I am still awaiting a response."
  • "When I went to collect the dog's medicine today, the receptionist didn't know anything about, or indeed about how to process an insurance claim."
  • "I was left in the waiting area crying in front of clients and staff coming in and out which I don’t think was appropriate."

Accessibility and Convenience

Pros:

  • "Always easy to get an appointment, kind of standard in terms of pricing and I have mostly been lucky with car parking there."
  • "Attentive, friendly and professional staff, and best of all, 24-hour service."
  • "They are open 24/7 and fitted me in within a few hrs...it was not an immediate emergency, but felt my dog couldn't wait 3 days to get seen he really wasn't very well."
  • "Every time I call them then try and help in the best way they can and often have appointments available very soon after."
  • "They also allow you to spread the cost of any big vet bills you may encounter with 0% APR. So interest freeeeee."
  • "With Brexit we've needed more paperwork to take our dog to Ireland and the vets were so knowledgeable and helpful in getting it all sorted."
  • "I love that they are open 24 hours and that they have Saturday appointments."

Cons:

  • "Available appointments no longer appear online, so you have to cross your fingers and call up to book."
  • "Similarly when calling, there is usually a 15+ minute wait before anyone answers."
  • "It was an hour wait with a cat in a carrier - no animals ahead of me - whilst we waited for the vets to change over."
  • "I have visited multiple times for various issues with my pets and there has almost always been at least a 20 minute delay before being seen (sometimes more)."
  • "My appointments have also had to be rescheduled before due to lack of vets."
  • "Only downside of that is the need to go into the surgery to pick up flea/worm medication - during COVID-19 that's been more challenging."
  • "Completing vaccines boosters in another vet. Not coming back here."
