This evil man left my girl to die. She had a c section with him ... 10 minutes after her waking up he said I could take her home. She was very cold , pale gums , couldn't move , flat , laboured breathing , swollen abdomen and foaming from her mouth and nose. He said this was normal !!!!! So I didn't question it as his A VET.
My girl died a hour after. I rushed her back in and he said " yes she's dead what do you want me to do with her now "
This man was struck off in 2013 and reapplied for his licence after 10 months and it was granted to him. DISGUSTING THIS MAN KEEPS KILLING DOGS. HE CANT KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT

Swinfen Vets, if I had googled him I would never have gone and taken my dog.
My dog Ruby had an accident in Sutton Park on July 23, 2019. Chasing a Squirrell she sideswiped a tree stump. I took her to the emergency vet as it was evening, her legs were paralysed but the vet said she thought they would recover given time. I picked her up the following morning as requested by the emergency vet. Eventually I took her to Mr Lesolle’s surgery because he had been recommended to a friend of mine! I don’t know who recommended him but they must have been insane or on crack cocaine!!
He had the diagnosis, the medical records and the X-ray, and was told that she had an internal bleed!!!
From here on we entered Mr Lesolle’s world of fantasy: between July 24th and July29th when Rooby died, he was unable to give a clear account of events. He ignored two requests from me for an explanation for Rooby’s bleeding to death his surgery. I appealed to the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons, who investigated.
Mr Lesolle , apparently was in Botswana, which is why he did not answer my emails, this maybe the case, and his records may be accidentally shaky, which is why he gave me 3 different dates for Rooby’s demise!
Incompetence is the word which comes to mind!!Superseded by CHARLATAN!!!
And this is RCVS response:

I took my tiny pekingese to this surgery whilst she was pregnant. Because i was worried about any difficulties that may arise due to her breed etc... i thought id get her checked.
I couldnt have asked for better care and attention!! Don, the owner is a hero in my eyes. The way he puts you at ease and discusses everthing with you is great.
We even have his personal mobile number for any concerns we may have out of surgery hours.
I WOULD NOT EVEN CONTEMPLATE GOING ANYWHERE ELSE!!!!
Money and cost doesnt even come into the discussion as our dogs are the most important thing to us, but the prices are amazing compared to most.
KEEP UP THE FAB WORK !!!

2 years old today, no thanks to SWINFEN VETERINARY CENTRE.
Having bought an 8 week old Springer Spaniel from a reputable breeder, a week later I was informed by my vet that she had a serious heart complaint. On taking her to The Bristol Veterinary School, they stated that this was a defect from birth and could not understand how it had not been picked up on her initial health check. So I contacted the pup€s breeder who informed me that all her litter had been fully health checked and passed with flying colours by SWINFEN VETERINARY CENTRE. So I tried to contact them via letter, email and phone to point out their negligence but was only met with a barrier of silence and evasion. So I took my complaint to the RCVS, who investigated my case and concluded that SWINFEN VETERINARY CENTRE had fallen well below expectations. Inspite of SWINFEN€s indifference and a great personal cost we saved our pup's life with heart surgery. Think twice before using this vet, because if things go wrong you will find they do not care for you or your animal. BEWARE !
