The Brambles Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Gloucester
Clinic Overview
- Recent feedback is mostly positive, with several long-term clients describing years or even decades of care for their pets. - Owners often highlight compassion and friendliness, including calm handling of a nervous adopted dog, accommodating staff when an appointment time was mixed up, and support that one older client felt went “over and above.” - Named praise centres on Neil and his team for diagnostics and treatment over many years, and Rachel for sensitive end-of-life care. - There is also a recent 1-star review describing a serious complaint about an alleged missed diagnosis by a locum and a poor outcome, which stands out against the otherwise largely favourable recent comments.
