What an amazing vet. I'm deaf and also have to use mobility scooter.
They have been incredible doing house calls because I can't get to the surgery. They are respectful of my hearing loss and always have time to repeat and be sure I have lip read them correctly. Hannah and Louisa are wonderful with Hal.

Extremely rude and unprofessional. The old women who is a vet speaks down to people she shouldn't be a vet she has no love for animals she looks like she needs a good bath. After her behaviour before my dogs operation I left the vets and moved straight to the friendly vets where my dog had a successful operation and lots of love and care. :)

Been taking my various dogs here for 18 years.....the staff are amazing and my dogs agree....they love visiting just to say hello! Sad to see Bev has left. Can't imagine going to any other practice.....
Been taking my various dogs here for 18 years.....the staff are amazing and my dogs agree....they love visiting just to say hello! Sad to see Bev has left. Can't imagine going to any other practice.....my dogs would never forgive me.
Only negative is the tiny space in the waiting room. My poor terrier girl who wouldn't hurt anything was attacked violently by a very large Borzoi that was on a long lead held by an elderly man. The dog was known to be aggressive yet Bev, the Vet on duty, did not warn anyone. The dog attacked my terrier twice it was shocking and she never fully recovered from the trauma.

Cannot recommend this surgery enough. Jane in particular has always been wonderful with our pets and we have visited with bunnies for vaccinations and eye infections, dogs for neutering and dental problems and sadly a road accident with one of our beloved dogs but luckily for us Jane stayed late and waited for us to arrive with our poor boy...... all was well in the end. Always amazing care and service and have always felt 100% happy that they are genuinely in it for the welfare of our pets and have never been salesy or pushy, I didn't feel this was the case with last vets we were at. Thank you St Johns you are fabulous.

I have always found staff at St John's professional and friendly. After looking at other reviews of 'Dr Irvine' it seems that he/she is more concerned with personal appearance (particularly of 'older women'!) than with professional competence.

AVOID !!! Visited for a check up with our dog. The vet that examined him was dirty, scruffy and spoke to us like we were children. There was no way we would let her do anything to our dog - he was cleaner than she was. For a professional older woman she should have pride in her appearance and she was representing the practice! We have spread the word about the practice.
