Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Allen, Briggs and Turner LLP describes itself as an independent, privately owned practice established for over 40 years, treating cats, dogs and other small animals. The website highlights in-house diagnostics and ward setup (digital x‑ray, ultrasound, in‑house lab, fully equipped dental suite, and a separate feline hospitalisation ward) and states it provides 24‑hour emergency care for already registered clients with its own vets and nurses on call. Reviews broadly reflect a practice that handles both routine care and more complex cases—one owner specifically mentions a referral for a broken leg and praises the surgeon—while a small number of recent reviews raise concerns about rushed appointments and communication (including a missed ear-mites diagnosis at an initial kitten check and a booster appointment described as abrupt).

Services

Based on the website and the latest reviews available to us, services and capabilities mentioned include

  • Orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery (including a review referencing treatment after a dog broke a leg following referral).
  • Routine preventative healthcare (annual check-ups and boosters are referenced in reviews).
  • Vaccinations (including kennel cough vaccine mentioned in a review).
  • Neutering.
  • Pet supplies and medication dispensary.
  • Pet care advice.
  • Dental facilities: a “fully equipped dental suite” (specific dental procedures aren’t described in the reviews provided).
  • Diagnostic and inpatient facilities: digital x‑ray suite, ultrasound scanner, in‑house laboratory, separate feline hospitalisation ward.
  • Emergency care: the website states 24‑hour emergency care is available for already registered clients, with their own vets and nurses on call.
  • Veterinary Nurse Training facility (listed in the structured clinic data).
  • ISFM membership is stated on the website.

Pricing

  • One reviewer reports paying £70 for an annual check-up and booster/visit they felt was very brief and rushed. (No official price list is provided in the inputs.)

People

  • Cristina Lopes (veterinarian): one reviewer says she took her time, handled the patient confidently, and discussed a treatment plan rather than giving what they felt would have been an oversimplified diagnosis.
  • Nigel (vet): one rabbit owner describes him as notably compassionate and knowledgeable, and says he looked after their Netherland Dwarf rabbit with great care.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 476 reviews.

  • Surgery/orthopaedics called out positively: one owner whose dog broke a leg says they were referred in and describes a “brilliant surgeon.”
  • Communication and bedside manner are inconsistent: several recent reviews are short and strongly positive, but two 1‑star reviews describe missed issues (ear mites at a kitten health check) and an appointment that felt rushed, with little reassurance and an abrasive/unprofessional manner.
  • End‑of‑life support mentioned: one review describes a pet’s death shortly after a vet was called out, and thanks the practice for keeping it “no stress.”
  • Appointment flow/clinic setup: one reviewer says they were seen on time; they also note they would have preferred separate dog/cat waiting areas and chose to wait in the car until called.
