I've been going to Heath vets (formerly Dr. Doolittles) for 20+ years, firstly with my cats and then my dog. Lucy is always welcoming and friendly and clearly loves animals. Seen a number of different vets over the years (the 1st was Mr. Francis) and they're all great. Very thorough and caring.

Excellent veterinary surgery. Vet and receptionist very welcoming and friendly. Vet is empathetic, highly skilled and knowledgeable. I trust that my pet is in safe hands in this surgery. We always come away with my dog's ailments successfully remedied. Highly recommended.

Couldn't speak more highly of this Dr Doolittle branch. Have been taking my Dachshund to them for coming up to two years and each visit is excellent. Fenella the Vet and Lucy support staff are just so kind and are happy to explain anything to you! A***
