I cannot recommend Nicky enough. These past few years we always took our rescue staffy x to see Nicky...I have an MSc in biological sciences and was constantly impressed by how knowledgeable this vet is on everything from anatomy, physiology to medicine. When our girl had an accident and we thought we were going to lose her, Nicky was able to help manage her pain so well that she lived for another year still enjoying her daily walks. Sadly we had to put her down this week, and Nicky made the process fast and peaceful and talked us through every step of the way. I've taken rescue dogs to various vets over the years and never have any of them been as compassionate and caring as this vet. If we get another dog in the future this is the only place we will take them to. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girl over the years, words cannot express how much we appreciate it.

I’ve been with this vet clinic for over 13 years now, and I honestly wouldn’t go anywhere else. I took my girl in yesterday — I get very anxious taking her to the vet as she’s a reactive girl and becomes quite stressed. She’s a big Labrador, so handling her kindly and confidently makes all the difference. She needed a barley seed removed, and we decided it was a good time for a full check-up as well. The team here always puts me at ease. They know exactly how to handle her with such calmness and care, and they never make me feel rushed or worried. The staff are genuinely lovely, and their pricing is very reasonable. They even gave her a good brush while she was there, as she’s shedding her winter coat, which was such a thoughtful extra touch. Thank you so much — you ladies are amazing. Your kindness and professionalism mean the world to us.

Honestly what an absolutely incredible veterinary clinic. we had Billie, our rottweiler/huntaway in today to get neutered. It was his first time at the vet and we were rather concerned on how he would handle it. The girls in the clinic made him feel at home almost instantly. You can be assured your loved ones are still getting the same love in the hands of others. The pre op discussion was perfectly thourough, as was the post op talk that followed later. All in all I don't think you'll find another clinic like this anymore!

Someone bought my cat in to get her fixed when she’s already been fixed and microchipped and had a collar on. Without checking if she had a microchip and not even seeing that she had been cut open before they cut her open and realised only then that she had already been fixed. They also promised me cat food as “compensation” and didn’t even give me that. Completely useless
