Clinic Overview

Burnt Ash Veterinary Clinic Ltd describes itself as an independent practice, established in 1947. The website says it’s led by a registered veterinary surgeon with 40+ years’ experience, and reviews repeatedly mention seeing the same vet (Greg) each visit. Owners commonly describe a straight-talking, “no-nonsense” consultation style, with examples ranging from last‑minute appointments to hands-on treatment such as cleaning and stitching an abscess, and months of palliative care for a cat with tumours after discussing options (including choosing not to pursue invasive treatment).

People

  • Greg (vet; role stated in reviews): Frequently described as matter-of-fact/straight-talking. Reviews give concrete examples of this being appreciated when he explains options clearly (including around end-of-life decisions) and when owners want direct advice. Multiple reviewers also mention he’s experienced and that they see the same vet each time, which they value for continuity.
  • Reception team (role implied in reviews): Mentioned as friendly and knowledgeable by at least one reviewer.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.3 stars from 135 reviews “”

  • Continuity of care: multiple owners say you typically see the same vet (Greg) each visit, and that he “knows his patients.”
  • Access and appointment availability: several reviews mention being able to get an appointment quickly, including last-minute, and one describes the clinic seeing a dog in an emergency despite not being a current patient.
  • Communication style: repeated theme of direct, no-nonsense explanations; one reviewer notes this style may not suit everyone, but they find it clear and efficient.
  • Specific clinical experiences: examples include abscess cleaning and stitching with good recovery, and palliative care for a terminally ill cat with options discussed.
  • Price comments (non-specific): several reviewers describe prices as reasonable/“not too expensive”, but no figures are provided.
