Our first visit yesterday to ask for advice about our tortoise. We were given expert advice from JJ and will certainly use this practice again.

Coombefield vets have treated our animals for years and we have always found them to be excellent. From emergency hospital visits to routine appointments we have always been greeted by very helpful, caring and efficient vets, nurses and staff. We would thoroughly recommend.

On the 18th February, After pictures of how ill my dog was sent to combfield at 18:43. After a visit in the evening of the night before (on the tues)A very obnoxious rude non empathetic nurse, who was clearly looking for a row, told me no vet was on-site. I would have to wait an hour and she would get a vet to ring me after looking at the pictures The nurse said she wouldn't comment on the pictures sent. I had to wait for a vet "ive already told you" The obnoxious nurse was also on reception. That call never came in Lola, died at 315 am she had a horrible death biting her tongue, with yet another catastrophic brain seizure when she could have been a euthanised to save all the trauma that she went through that night. 2 people here witnessed this very rude uncaring and argumentitive nurse from 3 Countys evening shift phone call as on loud speaker Beyond angry.
