I like others have used this practice for many,many years. My dogs were always treated well, by mr Gillon. when he retired the place went downhill. My last experience with this place was in September 2020, I had to have my 16year old Labrador put to sleep. This was bad enough, but due to covid the vet would not come to the house, so I had to manhandle her into the car.. On arrival at the vets, we had to phone to say we were there, they came out, put my dog on a stretcher, took her away, we were not allowed to go into the building with her, it was as if we just abandoned her.
It made a distressing situation almost unbearable.
An acquaintance had to have her dog put to sleep at a stevenage practice, they came to the house, took dog to vet, with owner following on, and she was allowed to go into the building and sit and hold dog while injection was done. This was only three weeks after our experience..

We have been going to this vet with our dogs and chickens for more than 10 years. It WAS truly exceptional - excellent care, honest pricing. The head vet has now retired and the practice has been taken over as part of a small chain of practices. Ever since, we have had one bad experience after the next and the prices have escalated beyond what can be considered reasonable. We have made the decision to find a new vet. I suggest looking elsewhere.

Disgusted! only get a star because they answered the phone! A friends dog was run over today i called them to be told the vets were all at lunch? When I questioned why they were ALL at lunch and no vet was on site but they were supposed to be open I was told that I should not speak to the receptionist like I was? Bearing in mind a dog had just been run over and needed a vet asap I was panicking trying to find one close that was open? Luckily we managed to find a vet that was open and actually in the practice.

Our Shih Tzu " Ziggy" has been registered here since he was 8 weeks old. He came to the puppy parties and I think they really help, because now if he has to visit the surgery, he marches in without a care in the word, he loves it there! He is now nearly 2 and anytime we have had to see the vet or get advice from the nurses regarding flea or worm treatments it's always very friendly and professional. It's a lovely place with great staff.
