Holders Hill Veterinary Surgery

Holders Hill Veterinary Surgery is used by some owners long-term (multiple reviewers mention staying for 5+ years or “many years”), with recurring comments about vets taking time to explain diagnoses and treatment options—such as when a “terribly ill” kitten was examined and the team taught the owner what to look out for and how to care for him. Several reviews also mention getting “loads of valuable advice” for puppies and feeling listened to when raising concerns about dogs.

There is also a sharp negative account describing a failed nail-trim attempt, being sold sedatives to return later, and a dispute about whether cats had been microchipped—so experiences reported are not uniformly positive.
