After asking around a bit i ended up going to this surgery. And i'm glad i did. The opening hours suit even the busiest person, there is an appointment only surgery in the morning and an open surgery in the afternoon. They also run a surgewry on a saturday. The staff were really nice and helpful and the vet lovely with cooper. I went to the open surgery but didn't have to wait for long. Cooper got all his jags, everything went really quick, but i never felt rushed. The vet answered all my questions in a way even i could understand (lol). If you're looking for a vet i'd recommend this one any time.

The staff were very caring and helpful and considerate to us humans as well as to our animals! Always helpful staff and the prices they charged were very reasonable prices too - cheaper than other places nearby. They have their own private parking outside the surgery and so everything is easy and convenient. We have not experienced any problems or complications with them at all and will quite happily use them again if and when the need arises

You would think that your pet is the most lovable cat/dog/rabbit etc they have met. As with any vet the food is expensive, and I used the dry food which they recommended for a long while. I am not suggesting that vets do this maliciously, but it sometimes feels like this.

They really treat your favourite creature as if it is the most lovely thing in all the world - which is what you think about it anyway! They are a very clean well presented centre. I have had rabbits and dogs treated here and have popped in for occasional advice. Everything has been first class and well explained and performed with great care and love for animals. A good service and we have had no reason to make any complaints at all.

This is a wonderful vetinary practice and I cannot recommend highly enough…read more Not only have they been consistently good with my pet rats (which a lot of vets do not particularly enjoy treating as they have a lack of experience with them) but they were always exceptionally good with my last cat. She was a rescue cat who had a lot of health problems and they treated her beautifully. At the end of her life she developed kidney failure and we were given the option of euthanising her. I asked if there was any chance of keeping her alive for longer and the vet told me that they could keep her going a few more days but that if it were her own cat, she would put to sleep as the pain and discomfort was so intense that my cat would have no quality of life left. Bearing in mind that the practice could easily have made another £500 for keeping my cat alive for an extra few days, I was incredibly pleased that they chose not to go down this route but instead made the whole process so easy and calming - we really couldn't have asked for a better experience, considering the circumstances. Wonderful vets, wonderful reception staff and a lovely calm, clean environment. Defintiely recommended to all!

On holiday from America, my husband and I found a tiny naked bird, eyes still shut and just a few…read moretufts of feather on, struggling on our cottage walkway. I picked it up and searched in vain for a nest. Finally tucked it into a tea towel and looked up local vets. Found Archway but it was closed for bank holiday, so I called the emergency number and left a message, fully aware that the vet may not return a nutty call to a US mobile at 5 on bank holiday about a bird. Ten minutes later he called and said he would be there within 15 minutes. Doctor checked my sad find and explained that it was much too small to survive but he would euthanize it to keep it from suffering. I apologized for calling him on his holiday and he was so kind about it. I tried to pay but he said they don't charge for wildlife calls. He was sincere and compassionate and professional. I'm glad I met him even though I'm sad for the poor bird who never got to live and sorry I shortened such a nice man's holiday.
