We waited one hour and 15 mins past our appointment time. We were there to discuss our concerns with a treatment for our dog previous to this appointment. Given that we already had grave concerns with the procedure undertaken and of the after care discharge as well as the communications within this practice to be told that our "name"did not come up as waiting by the vet taking appointments. Not the first time this has happened in the last four months and this only served to heighten our distress. We have been "customers" of the practice since 2011 and are very disappointed that since the senior founding vet retirement it appears that fundamental "care and concern" has fallen by the wayside. I will not going forward be recommending your practice to our many guests who stay with us as I can not be confident that due care and diligence is a guarantee. Read Less

Took my dog with an ear problem
They prescribed medication which when checked had a 100% mark up on the same products available online from reputable suppliers. They charged for the consultation and asked me to return to check if the treatment was effective - I foolishly assumed this was part of the treatment package. Ten days later I was asked how my dog had been, ears were looked at by eye. No equipment no intervention and no treatment
Total time less than four minutes. Unbelievably they charged me again for a visit they had requested, stating it was a separate consultation. Changed vets immediately. Avoid- rip off practice more interested in taking your money at any and every opportunity. Read Less
