Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Millennium Veterinary Practice describes itself as an independent small-animal practice and mentions having a CT scanner. Recent reviews repeatedly point to a clinic set up for cats and dogs with an emphasis on unhurried consultations (appointments can run late because “they don’t rush you through”) and practical access to urgent care (one owner reports getting an urgent, non-emergency appointment within an hour). Owners also mention a cats-only area, and several reviews highlight staff adapting to individual needs—for example, accommodating requests to see a female vet for a cat that isn’t comfortable with men.

Apollo Vets Black Notley treats a range of small pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and other rodents) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

In the latest reviews, owners repeatedly mention being given clear options/packages and having diagnoses and next steps explained in detail; one owner also highlights a vet (Diana) taking time, not rushing, and offering alternative treatment routes for an older cat.

Mercer and Hughes Veterinary Surgery is reported by a reviewer to be part of the Kin Vet Community group (so not independent, per that review). From the written feedback available, the clinic appears to handle routine and surgical care as well as end-of-life support, with multiple reviews referencing euthanasia, and one referencing castration. Experiences described are mixed: some owners report compassionate explanations and support during a long illness and euthanasia, while others describe communication breakdowns (including an appointment not being flagged as euthanasia and a long wait) and concerns about pricing transparency and upselling (quotes changing, invoices arriving later, and being offered “extra care”).
