Serge, my terrier has a slipped disk and as such has paralysis of his hindquarters. Having phoned up that morning the receptionists were most helpful and Dr Bedford saw us immediately that morning - he is in high demand so this in itself meant a lot. We found Dr Bedford and his manner calming and informative, particularly given how concerned we were (a lot of crying). Dr Bedford performed surgery that day and phoned me the same afternoon to let me know how it had gone. To omit a lot of detail here and save writing the entire story, I will attempt to articulate my gratitude and sincere affection that I now have for Dr Bedford and his team. He absolutely and without any doubt has saved my little dog. Dr Bedford is unfathomably modest but I must reiterate to anyone reading this that his experience and his knowledge is without rival (and we have had many pets over the years and had much experience) and his evident compassion for animals and their well being left me in no doubt that Serge could not have been in a better place or in better hands. The nurses, with particular focus on Laura whom Serge became particularly fond, these girls were informed and informative, they were naturally kind and patient to me and to Serge and I cannot thank them enough for their efforts and their commitment to what they do. The receptionists also, who were continually reliable in keeping me informed of Serge's progress and were always polite and professional, even at very evidently busy times. Perhaps I sound all praise and no fault, but in two weeks of Serge being there I could not fault anyone at Pearl once and nor would I want too, I think my words cannot do service to Dr Bedford and his talents, because truly that is what they are. I recommend them openly and shall continue to do so. I hope that all customers will treat the nurses and the vets with the respect they deserve, I could not fault them. I admire Dr Bedford endlessly and will not forget what he and his team have done for my dog and continue to do for other animals. Kindness and compassion always. Alix and Serge.Read Less
