I struggle to put into words just how absolutely horrific this vet is! He has a total lack of compassion. Treats animals like their dirt, with barely any communication to explain what's going on and couldn't wait to get rid of us, we were in the room for less that 30 seconds! He reduced my boys steroids which I questioned with another vet, not only was the dosage he reduced it to useless and doing nothing it was also dangerous and he should have been tapered down slowly, luckily not enough time has passed for it to do any damage! Luckily this was a follow up appointment from the charity I got him from so I won't ever have to see this man again! You couldn't pay me a million pounds to take my babies back to see that horrible man 😔 Reception staff all really lovely but I would really advise they get out of that place quick sharp!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Shocking experience. As many reviews say on here - extremely dismissive, zero compassion, and not interested in our girl at all. Staff were absolutely lovely and so sweet - clearly embarrassed by the doctors demeanour! Our girl had just had puppies and was extremely hot, not eating and we were very worried. Told she had ‘some form of infection’ and despite asking questions were dismissed and rushed out with a £250 bill! Told to give her two things (which were not explained). I tried to say I felt she had swollen mammoth glands and milk production was stuck. He just said ‘Normal.’ and walked out the room. Turns out I was right! Pus filled glands and he did not care or even acknowledge it when we called again. Money chasing, rude and horrible. The staff should work elsewhere as they were the sweetest ladies.

This is a new review August 2025 as we now have an 17 month old Cocker Spaniel who has just experienced his boys operation ,enough said poor lad but once again we must say a big thank you to Tim & the staff who do a wonderful job in this small & friendly practice we were reassured & didn’t worry unfortunately one testicle was undescended all went well & our beautiful boy is back to his normal self ! Tim looked after all our Guinea Pigs over 20 years before we progressed to dogs !, we had eye surgery , ovarian treatment … almost anything a little piggy can have we have always been treated with care and compassion when needed especially with the loss of the small animals when I have sobbed terribly all have gone to rest at Tim’s .We then lost our previous Cocker Spaniel at age 2 very sadly due to a blood disorder nothing any Bet could have done to save him but our new boy is now under Tim’s care .Thank you all !

My french bulldog was booked i. for a planned c-section, the vet was very kind and could sense I was worked up he let me stay with my girl whilst he delivered the Anastasia. He safely delivered 6 pups. Mum and pups are all doing well. After reading the reviews I was sceptical but I would definitely recommend this vet and will use them again.
