What a shame - fantastic veterinary nurses, welcoming reception staff, the head nurse couldn't have been kinder to us, and I had excellent recommendion for Anat the female vet, but Ralph (vet), was rude to us to the point of unpleasantness which upset me for the evening - we arrived there 6.10pm for 6.15pm appointment, he snapped that he wanted to get away on the dot of 6.30pm and that we should have got an earlier appoinment as our dogs condtion may need longer - we didn't know that because we are not vets and not qualified to diagnose a dogs eye problem. Why have appts at 6.15pm if you are going to be so resentful and disrespectul to paying clients? Then Ralph suggested putting a muzzle on the dog which was fair enough - before we organised ourselves to do this, the very nice vet nurse came in, and took over (sensing maybe we were a bit nervous as our dog is a very badly treated rescue dog we've only had for 3 months so we probably came over as a bit hesitant) - Ralph then actually shouted at us for not taking responsibility for our dog, yet the veterinary nurse had stepped in to be kind, we hadn't asked her to and didnt expect her too. We were both shocked at his rudeness, I was extremely upset that evening.
My son actually thought we had turned up without an appt due to Ralph snapping about him possibly being delayed. Its a shame as the rest of the staff were lovely, but this one persons unpleasantness towards us (and we are always polite and respectful) has made us not want to go there again, its not acceptable to treat people in this way.
