I am presently in full agreement with another review below. Fees not animals. Argument, not compassion. Fully at odds with their group affiliation and terribly reluctant to acknowledge a mistake. When an organisation that purports to be compassionate (especially through its affiliation) refuses even to meet a complaint "half way", you may consider what its fundamental ethos really is. And if my experience is not typical - why not? Different treatment?

Absolutely amazing practice. The kindest reception staff, who hold professionalism, care, and absolute compassion. Vet Amy is just incredible, so experienced, and makes me feel like I can have 💯 faith and trust in her advice. She is so, so compassionate. Compared to somewhere I was before in Witham, these practices are millions of metres apart! Service and care is just phenomenal, and my kitten Marnie (and my family) are forever grateful ☺️ Your whole team just make the sometimes ‘scary’ experience so much better. Well done all of you x Mrs Minton x

Can't thank the vets at Aldham and the Forge enough. Having come in with suspected tooth pain, Nigel promptly booked our rescue dog Martin in for next day tooth extraction. But after a more thorough look pre op spotted a lump on the thyroid. With extremely fast communication they were able to scan and find/excise the lump in the same operation and have probably saved our dog from alot of future pain/complications. The receptionists and nurses are always extremely kind and helpful. We are very grateful for their care and attention - can't recommend their services enough.

Can't praise this vets enough. All the staff are so friendly, caring and all get invested in the health of your pet. My dog Millie recently swallowed a stone and needed emergency surgery. Monica, the vet, explained everything clearly and was very supportive post op as were the reception staff. Millie has made a full recovery thanks to their expert care and attention.

Very good. My 12 year old dog had to have some teeth out and everything was explained to me before and after the operation which went very well and my poor old girl has a new lease of life. I had previously been with one of the big vet companies but didn’t feel comfortable, feeling more like a walking cheque book than a customer. Highly recommend them.

We’ve been with Aldham Vets since Milo was little (just under 4 years) we were recommended them by a fellow dog owner. They spoke so highly of the team and we understood why from the offset, they are always so friendly and helpful any time we visit. Each staff member is so knowledgeable which extends to their reception team as well. I would highly recommend their monthly plan where you get the injections, flea and worming included, it’s the best decision we made saving money and peace of mind.
