Quality of Veterinary Care

Pros:

  • "All the staff were extremely caring and helpful when our dog was seriously ill and required surgery. They made sure we received regular updates and thanks to them he made a full recovery."
  • "Great vets. Took really good care of my kitten and the surgeon must have been a master at his craft as it was so well done she was up and about and being her old self in less than 48h."
  • "Vet was pleasant, he was extremely thorough with his examination, very happy with the level care offered to my border."
  • "Such caring, informative and comforting staff! Amazing service all around, made sure my dog Mini was taken care of and assured us she was going to be fine."

Cons:

  • "DO NOT USE THIS VETERINARY PRACTICE. The vets are cruel and insensitive and have a cavalier attitude to euthanasia."
  • "The moment you hand your pet to them, everything they use down to a cotton wool ball is probably recorded. No one even try to console me or showed any empathy."
  • "Awful vets that lack any empathy or communication."
  • "Shocking service.. Took my dog in with a broken leg... Picked him up today and they've splinter and bandaged the wrong leg... Vet laughed it off saying it's a genuine mistake as she had had a very busy day... Disgusting service."
  • "Absolutely terrible experience... After various examinations, prescriptions, visits, ideas and theories by Dayshift and Nightshift staff and no signs of recovery, improvement or diagnosis by late PM Wednesday I discharged her myself."
  • "Worst vet ever. Rude receptionists taking the p!ss out of customers who are clearly upset when they left, our dog saw 3 vets in her who told us he had different conditions."

Customer Service

Pros:

  • "Brilliant vets and staff..... they always fill you with confidence in their abilities and it never feels like they are taking advantages of the situation."
  • "Nice friendly personal practice. With very fair prices."
  • "The young vet we saw this morning wasn’t fazed by his barking, understanding it is through fear and I can’t rate the practice highly enough!"
  • "The empathy, understanding and caring attitude of all staff was superb. I would highly recommend them."
  • "They have gone above and beyond at times to help with a professional and caring manner, not to mention the patience to answer numerous questions."
  • "Insurance claims are so easy Sharon is excellent at what she does and handles everything so you don't have to."
  • "The reception staff are the most helpful people I've ever meet nothing is too much trouble for them."

Cons:

  • "Legalised extortion you may have to sell your own body parts to pay the bill for your pet."
  • "Rude staff over phone whilst trying to make a follow up appointment."
  • "Low score because the price they expect you to pay for a routine check up, a doggy MOT is extortionate."
  • "Very expensive do not explain 400 pounds a night to keep your dog in they know you're very upset as well being worried please explain all costs if I'd known I put my dog up in 5 star hotel warmer more comfortable."
  • "I find his response be so staggeringly dismissive, pompous and dictatorial as to beggar belief."
