Taken over by Medivet. Surprised when I phoned for an appointment - no one told me. Kept on hold for ages, (never happened before) and when answered the woman pretended she was trying to find my details while serving someone else (I could hear her!). You have to wait much longer for an appointment than you used to. Rang on the day to confirm and they apparently had no record of an appointment. Lets hope they are better at treating your pets than they are at admin. Read Less

Outstanding vet. I visited this week to find out he's retired. Couldn't tell you who has bought the practice as no-one told me. I doubt I'll bother to travel over when there are so many closer vets to me. I made the effort before as Mr Matthews was such a good vet. Gutted. Read Less

I have used Mr Matthews for nearly 20 years for the health and medical care of my two cats and my more recent addition of my puppy Labrador, and I have always received excellent service from him. He may not be the cheeriest of vets but he provides honest and sometimes brutal advice on how to treat and care for your pet and he genuinely cares for animals. He will tell you when you do things wrong, but he is highly experienced and doesn't offer unnecessary costly treatment. When one of my cats developed cancer and also when I had to have my other cat put to sleep, he showed true compassion. The reception staff are always friendly and helpful and also offer good advice for minor ailments. I would, and have, highly recommend Mr Matthews to everyone. Read Less

I have been going to Mr Matthews for years with my pets as also has most of my family. Although sometimes he can appear moody this is just his personality as well as telling you if you are in the wrong, which he has me a few times. He is a brilliant vet that cares about the animals he looks after. I recently had to have my dog put to sleep and he was fantastic, although straight to the point he was very caring and showed a lot of empathy. We love you Mr Matthews, keep up the good work.

What more can you ask for in a vet - a Man who loves animals. I left his practice very happy with how he treated Jessie. He cares about the animals and was very pleasent and a gentlemen towards me. He does not charge you the earth and has the animals best interest as his no 1 prority. Made to feel he had all the time in the world to speak to me. Would not go anywhere else, worth the travelling.

If you can't take his comments, go elsewhere. This vetinary surgeon has 110% compassion for his patients. If you want someone on your pets side, he's your man. And yes, he does care about the people too, once you've convinced him you share enough care and love for your animal as he expects. Thank you Mr Matthews for your outstanding practice Read Less

I have been bringing my pets here for years, Mr Matthews has always been very professional. He genuinely cares for animals and is a brilliant vet. He may sometimes be a bit short and abrupt with people but that is just how he is. At the end of the day he knows what he is talking about and the animals welfare is always his main concern. I will continue to use him and also recommend him to others. Read Less

I have taken my dog Ruby to this vets since she was a puppy, Everyone says how rude this man is but he is good with animals. Several times I have ignored his rudeness for the care of my dog but when I went to take my 2 and half year old German shepherd with a skin infection who has been suffering with this for months back to him, and he wouldn't even look at her which made me extremely angry and just dismissed us after it took us an 1hr to get to him, we was in and out less than 2 mins. absolutely appalling service and also again the man lives up to his reputation of being dam right rude, I am surprised he is still in business, Maybe he is cheap for a reason as you do get what you pay for. We are now at a new vets that are providing us with the care and attention we need for our dog. Read Less
