Priory Veterinary Centre

- Patience with difficult or nervous dogs: owners describe staff taking extra time and being understanding with a dog that wasn’t compliant during visits. - Long-term relationships: some reviewers mention using the clinic for many years (including one owner over 14 years and another over 4 years). - Disagreement about clinical judgement/costs: one reviewer alleges a vet couldn’t confirm a cat’s neuter status via physical exam and wanted “exploratory” surgery, which the reviewer associated with increased cost.

Services

•Routine vet consultations for dogs (multiple reviews mention bringing dogs for care over years and first-time visits).
•Cat assessment (one review discusses checking whether a cat was neutered).
•Surgery discussed in reviews: “exploratory” surgery was proposed in one complaint (the reviewer felt it was unnecessary).
•Out-of-hours arrangements: the clinic states out-of-hours service is provided by the Pet Emergency Hospital.

People

•Nicola (role not stated): mentioned by a long-term client as someone who, along with her team, “took their time” to provide care for a dog described as “not the most compliant patient.”
•Reception/secretary (not named): one reviewer complained that the secretary “should…stop thinking she’s a vet,” suggesting a concern about reception staff giving advice or overstepping (from that reviewer’s perspective).

The vet seemed incompetent because she couldn’t check if the cat was neutered with a physical exam and wanted to cut the animal open to perform “exploratory” surgery which would lead to greater costs.

I wouldn't bring a goldfish to this vet, the secretary should also stay in her lane and stop thinking she's a vet as well.

We brought our dog here for over 4 years, but due to a house move, we have changed to a more local vet. All of the Staff in Priory are incredibly kind and understanding. Our dog was not the most compliant patient but Nicola and her Team always took their time to give him the best care possible. Thank you, Loki :)

We've been bringing our dog here for 14 years and she's always happy to go to the vet! The staff here are so lovely, patient and experienced. I highly recommend them. 🐶💊⚕️
