Veterinary Surgeon - Wigan

The Practice

Our practice is a first opinion and referral hospital, we are proudly independent run by son, mother and father. We have a great team of staff that work towards the best possible outcome for the patient at costs that are accessible for most clients making us different to most referral centres. We have RCVS hospital status along with “OUTSTANDING” awards from the RCVS. We make a huge difference in the veterinary profession as there are not many places out there like us, just look at our reviews for examples.  Our facilities are outstanding and consist of MRI (in-house), CT (in-house), colour doppler ultrasound, video endoscopy, 3 theatres, DR x-ray suite just to name a few. The whole hospital is located on one floor so no need for stairs or lifts.
