Dated 8th September just brought midnight in to be neutered was greeted by a lovely nurse I believe her name is nicki such a caring person and lovely nature towards midnight and myself, again I cannot praise this vets enough have looked after midnight so well and kept me informed on his recovery also it was so nice of the vet who came in who treated midnight for his vaccinations when I first went to this practice to take the time to stop and say hello and asked how he was doing such a nice gesture you don't get that happen very often I just wish that I could have made a bigger donation to your charity on my card as I don't carry cash with me as I have already said this is an excellent veterinary surgery and I'm so grateful for everything that you have all done for midnight and to such a caring and extremely high standard you have an excellent team and I'm so pleased I chose you for midnight's health care thank you once again My very best wishes to you all on behalf of midnight and myself.
