“Brilliant for the second time on my little dog! Following second crucial ligament tear on other leg Sandy has had rectification to that and correction of the bowed top section and dislocating knee cap. Prof Gareth Arthur’s and his team are amazing and show passionate care for animals from start to finish. Highly recommend this specialist to resolve issues professionally and with great care!”
“Professor Arthurs and the team were fantastic with both my dog and myself when we were referred for surgery both in their manner and knowledge. I was kept up to date with progress and they took time to explain the procedure, what was needed during the recovery phase and also offered support if I needed it between the surgery and follow up appointment. The premise is lovely, spacious and clean. 4 months on my dog is back to being her happy, bouncy self and I cannot thank them enough for all they did.”
“This is our 2nd visit to the practise, 8 weeks after the opp. on our dog Merlin, he had a screw fitted to his left front elbow. We again found all the staff very helpful, friendly and chatty. Prof. Gareth Arthurs having re-examined Merlin, was again very thorough, clear and precise with all information regarding his current problem. With the diagnosis reached and further medication we hope his progress will come on in leaps and bounds (literally). We would highly recommend the practise for Orthopaedic problems.”
