Tower Equine Veterinary Surgeons

Tower Equine Veterinary Surgeons is an equine-only practice with on-site diagnostic facilities (including digital radiography, ultrasonography and gastroscopy) and purpose-built examination areas (stocks, trot-up, lunge area and outdoor school), plus inpatient stabling and turnout. The website also describes breeding and stud services, including a BEVA-approved Artificial Insemination Centre for chilled and frozen semen.

From the latest written reviews available to us, owners most often describe pre-purchase vettings and diagnostic work-ups where findings were explained clearly and followed up by phone, and routine visits that were handled quickly to reduce stress for younger horses. There is also at least one recent 1-star review with no written detail, alongside multiple 5-star reports.
