First impressions, Amy was very thorough, explained all the procedure in detail regarding the removal of Beau’s teeth. Beau is 11 and has had teeth removed before but I was never made aware of the procedure or my options. I went to Aldham after visiting another Vet in Colchster a couple of days previously and I didn’t feel confident in the vet who hardly spoke to me during the checkup so came out feeling that I’d just been on a conveyer belt, get them in and out as quickly as possible. That’s my opinion.

This was our first visit to this vets having used St Runwalds Maldon Road since 1971 it was MrRunwald in those days. Then Anita took over the parctice an amazing vet. But when I went in June last year was horrified with the locum that saw us some 40mins after our appointment time and was. Or interested in his job However this time I went to the London Road Surgery today What a difference. The Staff were polite friendly the waiting area spotless friendly and spacious. Time keeping was excellent. And the vet sorry I haven’t got his name was amazing and nothing was too much he took his time with Paddington and gave him a complete check up and vaccinations and explained every thing I will certainly be going back in the future. And highly recommended them. Thank you all so much

London Road vets have always been great. We transferred from another vet and such a difference. The vets treat our dog so well. He’s an older boy so his visits are sadly more regular now. Both Josh and Jody have carried out operations on him of which he has completely recovered. Highly recommend.
