Looking at the reviews this vets seem to have improved considerably…read more I used them around 10 years ago. The turning point for me was when I rang in as an anxious pet owner asking about treatment for my dog, the receptionist thought she put me on hold. She then proceeded to use every F word possible and scream that she couldn't F'ing cope with me. Her supervisor came on the phone and I advised her that I had heard everything and she could only apologize. I immediately changed vets and informed them that I could not leave any animal of mine in their care if that is how they spoke about their clients! I also took a Terrapin in for treatment which I had found, the vet looked and hinted they were not funded for wildlife but said the Terrapin looked alright. I then rang the RSPCA who took the poor creature to a sanctuary, it died en route. Coincidentally they then took it to Peak Vets who diagnosed extreme muscle waste. So not alright then? Still they didn't have to treat it as it was dead. The Partner Steve rang me to ask me to clear my bill, no apology! He has since retired. So it was 10 years ago, still a lot of the staff I spoke to are still there. Sorry but had I not heard how that receptionist/vet nurse and her disgusting and disturbing outburst then I would have been none the wiser. Lets hope they have changed!

Wonderful vets! I was very worried about my beloved Westie and also in an emotional state due to…read moresome bad news I had just received by phone in the car park. Mrs Wharmby was lovely, she was very calming to both my dog and myself and as an owner who loves her pet like a child was extremely professional in explaining everything she was doing and why (my last vet was very stern which is why I left) and also allaying my fears after I had googled my dogs symptoms stupidly before going! My dog was treated and given medication and food to take home and within 4 days all symptoms had gone, much to my relief. A very busy vets but I was given an appointment on the same day and was seen within 5 mins of my appointment. Staff were polite and cost was reasonable.

Our rescue dog Amber has had many visits to both the Rotherham branch and Crystal peaks due to an…read moreongoing illness. Rachael Frost (Senior Veterinary Surgeon) looked after Amber on numerous occasions over at Rotherham and we always felt full of confidence that our fur baby was in the best hands. Last Wednesday we had to make the most heartbreaking decision that it was now time for Amber to be pain free and at peace and on arrival into the surgery we found comfort in that the vet that would be helping our little girl was Rachael. We have had a few rescue dogs over the years and many visits to the vets seeing numerous surgeons but non of which have ever made such an impact as Rachael. This morning a card arrived through our door and after speaking so highly of Rachael with the family over these past days this lady just went even higher in our estimations, sending the most beautiful condolence card with Ambers foot print inside. This lady didn't just do her her job she went above and beyond and has shown what a wonderful caring and compassionate lady she is, not just to Amber but to us who have lost the most precious thing in our household. We will forever be grateful for the love, support and care you gave to Amber and for the greatest gift of her paw print which we will cherish forever. This lady is the type of person you can only wish for your beloved pet to be cared for by and how lucky we were to have this lady do so for Amber. Rachael you are an amazing vet but also an incredible caring person. We cannot thank you enough.

I cannot recommend Aislinn Rooney enough. I took my pet rats to her, and although they are quite…read moreniche, Aislinn was happy to listen to any suggestions I had from past experiences/research, and consult one of her colleagues who specialised in exotic animals. Most importantly, she handled my animals with love and care, as well as being very empathetic towards me as their owner when things weren't going great. She never gave up when treating a particularly nasty respiratory illness, and tried multiple variations of antibiotics, steroid injections, sub-Q fluid and even an inhaler. If I had any questions, she made me feel very welcome to ask them, and my animals felt at ease with her (as much as can be expected towards a needle bearing giant anyway). The receptionists are lovely, and always try to have a chat if they're not busy. Their attitude is great and again they make you feel very welcome. Onto the negatives then... One of my pets unfortunately died, and upon my next visit to the vets for an unrelated matter, they wrote 'Service provided: Euthanasia & Cremation: Died at Home-Small Animal. No=1. Amount including VAT=0.00. The vets played no part in my animal's death, he died at home. I don't see why this was put on my receipt, and it really upset me. That being said I did point this out to a nurse, who took down details and said it shouldn't have happened. The biggest negative: Alistair Boyd. Went to him with my rat who had a swollen eye. This could have been a large number of things, however he looked at it, and instantly decided it was 'something viral' to which he couldn't do anything. I would have accepted this diagnosis if he had first asked about the rat's living environment to see if preventative measures could be taken in the future, used a ophthalmoscope for a more accurate insight into the components of the eye, tried staining the eye to check for breaches to the cornea. He also never mentioned home care to help the rat had it had been a viral infection, although he did prescribe metacam (although the rat was already on it). Compresses and flushing the eye can provide the rat comfort, and he failed to point this out. My rat was on death's doorstep - wouldn't eat and was gasping for air. When I tried unconventional methods such as giving my rat a human inhaler, Aislinn pointed out that although we don't know how safe that is, if the rat appears to be dying, the worst it can do is speed up the process. However I gave my rat ibuprofen (according to the Exotic Animal Formulary 2001, 2012 and Drug Dosage in Laboratory Animals : A Handbook, 1990, as well as another vet's recommendations) to which he bluntly told me I could have killed my rat, and when I told him I had researched it and another vet had said it was acceptable, he began patronising me telling me 'not to believe everything I read on the internet'. I ended up with the same medicine I already had. Although for the metacam, which was the dog solution, he was genuinely going to give me a DOG sized syringe for a rat. I had to ask for something more appropriate, with Aislinn this was done automatically. Secondly, although the dose of the tablet provided was one eighth of a tablet, he didn't think to cut the tablets up into single doses, unlike Aislinn. I would advise you to keep your animals far far farrr away from this man, who I have perceived to be in the industry for the money alone.
