Took our dog to MSG surgery last Tueday as she had a slight limp. Vet could not find anything wrong with joints etc so proscribed anti inflammatory tablets and advised us to return following week charged £57. Took her back today when another vet called for her, no examination carried out just asked my wife about the dog and charged us another £45 for 2 minutes (by the way the vet was very abrupt with my wife). We should have been told to only return if there had been no improvement as there would be another charge, we feel really disappointed as we have always recommended this practice to other owners and are now looking at moving.

We unfortunately had to use the out of hours service but our little pooch just couldn't hang on till we got there. They dealt with the whole situation amazingly and there was no pressure for money upfront, we were so grateful for the few days to grieve and get our heads round it. They talked us through all our options and were able to answer every question we had. Can't fault them on any part of the experience which is definately what you need in such an awful situation. We will be forever thankful for their care that night and the week following. Read Less

Update : Stanhope Park Veterinary Hospital thank you for calling me this morning to apologize for the lack of communication for not telling me about the situation when the cat was still with you. I thank you as well for neutering this lovely boy which was what you said you would do. If i understood well you released the cat as a group decision also with the RSPCA because he was too distressed being kept inside. You said this cat was released not far from my area, i will send you a private message to know where so i can let neighbors know too. I have the feeling we all did what we could for him, now it s up to him to maybe find a safe and nice place to stay. I will leave food out in case he s around. Everything happen for a reason. So thank you for your call today and your help with this boy I think you are a great practice and you earned a future customer. Gratitude.Read Less
