Acorn Veterinary Surgery describes itself (in reviews) as a private practice, with many owners repeatedly naming vet Simon Tollet and his team for day-to-day care. It also advertises emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent reviews contain a clear split: several clients report calm, reassuring handling of pets and owners (including with senior pets), while multiple low-star reviews focus on difficult phone interactions with a receptionist when trying to arrange sensitive or administrative matters (including a euthanasia appointment request and a microchip/vaccination record query).
