Beechwood Veterinary Practice

Beechwood Veterinary Practice is a small-animal clinic established in the early 1980s and is part of the CVS group (the website uses a CVS address). The practice is set up for routine preventative care and general medical/surgical work, with extras like an on-site dog-grooming parlour and a range of nurse clinics. Review accounts are mixed: several owners describe friendly, informative appointments (including first visits and vaccinations), while a small number report poor phone manner and one owner raises a concern about privacy/dignity around end-of-life care in the reception area.
