We have been using Yew Tree vets for a couple of years now. Every contact we have with staff has felt personal and professional. Everyone there genuinely appears to love animals. We have never had to wait long for an appointment and we always leave content with the service. The refurbishment of the surgery means the environment now matches the quality of service. We highly recommend them.

Terrible experience. My dog had an ear infection so I brought him to Yew tree, I was given treatment for him that did not do anything to help and in fact, made him worse. I contacted the vets who gave me an email for complaints as I am seeking a refund for the £199 that was charged, it has now been over two weeks with no reply, I emphasized how unwell my dog had become since our visit but it was made clear to me that they do not care, how can you claim to be somewhere that cares for animals when you just ignore and avoid? Edit: They the took over two weeks to reply to my email and only did so once I had posted this review, declined to refund me and offered a phone call with their vet, why on earth would I go back to the same vet that has acted as above? I will be taking this further, private vets like this one are just money grabbers, if you look at all the other 1 star reviews it is clear they over charge as standard and by experience, they do not care for animals, only money.

I can’t thank Yew Tree Vets enough for the incredible care they gave to my dog, Buddy. He recently had to have his tail amputated, and from start to finish the team went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and well looked after. Buddy is quite an anxious dog, but they were so patient and gentle with him, helping to put him at ease throughout the whole process. A very special mention to Ocean, the vet who carried out his surgery – she was absolutely amazing and made sure Buddy was cared for every step of the way. Her kindness, skill, and compassion made a difficult experience so much easier. I’m so grateful for the exceptional care they provided – Buddy is recovering well thanks to them. Highly recommend Yew Tree Vets!

I switched to Yew Tree a couple of years ago and they have just been fantastic. All staff are friendly and helpful, and the care my dog has received has been wonderful. They are patient and have worked so hard with me to get my dog comfortable visiting and being handled. Special mention to Georgie for all her work and also everyone on reception. It’s a great practice all round and I’m so pleased I switched to them.

Really lovely vets & staff. We've seen Emily twice now with our little disabled dog, and she's been so gentle and understanding with him. Big thanks from us & Hershey!
