I only wish I had chosen this practice when I first moved to the area. Mike and his team are second to none. They have gone above and beyond in professionalism and personal service. They helped save our boy from a horrible illness and have made us feel validated in our decisions. Much of my experience with Mike has been that profit is not the key driver. Mike really cares about animals and their guardians. He is a very special man with a team to match x

I started using Brookend when I moved to Witham in 2004. Since then I have moved house twice and have been at several other vets and none even compare to Brookend. When I lived in Ipswich in 2019 I brought my dog back down to Witham for a second opinion as I completely trusted Mike's word on what was right. I am now back living in Essex and I've been at another vets for rhe last 2 years and im just about to re-register at Brookend. It's worth thr 40 min drive.

I have been bringing my pets here for twenty years, and always recommend this practice to friends. All of the staff is friendly and wonderful. They take the time to answer all of your concerns and make full treatment plans when necessary. They are incredibly knowledgeable about breed-specific issues—I have an English Bulldog and this is particularly important for us. I never need to ask for a specific vet unless it’s a repeat visit because they are all wonderful, especially Michael and Rebecca whom I have known the longest.

Such a friendly practice. All the staff were welcoming and friendly and my kitten was treatment wonderfully during his appointment. It was his first visit and I was nervous about how he would react but it went flawlessly and no sign of distress before or after the treatment, a credit to the staff! Would highly recommend as the vets to choose.

I definitely recommend Brookend vets. We have been with them for our two cats for five years now, both of them have health problems and one is diabetic, so needs regular support. Today they've had my cat seen to immediately by a vet when I called about an emergency health concern. The vets are professional and the reception staff are always very polite and kind. Five stars.

Brookend Vets have been consistently fantastic over the years. Their care, compassion, and expertise—especially with my rabbits—have always stood out. It’s clear that the whole team is knowledgeable and genuinely dedicated to the wellbeing of the animals they treat. Finding truly rabbit-savvy vets can be difficult, but at Brookend, I’ve always felt confident that my pets are in the best hands. From the vets to the nurses to the reception team, everyone is friendly, professional, and supportive. I’ve always appreciated the clear communication and updates, and it’s obvious how much thought and attention goes into every visit. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Brookend to anyone looking for excellent, trustworthy veterinary care.

I wholeheartedly recommend Brookend Veterinary Practice – it’s a truly outstanding clinic where both pets and their owners are treated with kindness, professionalism, and genuine care. The entire team is incredibly friendly, supportive, and always willing to answer any questions with patience and empathy. A special thank you goes to Dr Alex, who not only accurately diagnosed and resolved my dog Coco’s ongoing stomach issues, but also performed her spaying procedure, tooth extraction, and gastrointestinal examination, including an X-ray. Everything was carried out with great attention to detail and with Coco’s wellbeing as the top priority. Thanks to his care, she has fully recovered and is back to her happy, energetic self. I’m deeply grateful for such a high standard of care – this is a clinic you can truly trust.
