The Beacon Veterinary Centre Ltd

The Beacon Veterinary Centre Ltd is a single-site small-animal veterinary practice. Recent reviews describe compassionate end-of-life care (including sending a condolence card afterwards) and the ability to book a next-day appointment for a paw injury where the vet removed a seed and dispensed antibiotics. Experiences are mixed on access and front-desk interactions: some owners mention helpful phone support, while others report rudeness and feeling rushed, and one review describes being declined an appointment for a sick cat based on previous use of another practice.
