We are leaving this review for Shona on reception who we cannot thank enough, not only for her professionalism when handling our call but also for her genuine care & understanding, helping immensely to take away/relieve the stress we were experiencing! May I also take this opportunity to praise a certain EXEMPLARY vet Mr Geoff Potts, Geoff is a "one IN A MILLION" he has helped heal, make many of our family pet's healthy again over possibly the last 15yrs plus. So thank you Shona & Geoff we TRULY appreciate you & your dedication! ????
