Goddard Veterinary Group Ilford is part of the Goddard Veterinary Group (not an independent practice). The clinic is RCVS accredited, offers on-site blood testing, x-rays and operations, and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews frequently describe the team fitting in urgent, last-minute appointments (including for small animals) and being thorough in examinations—for example, a rabbit with a suspected fracture was rechecked and treated with pain relief, and owners reported a good recovery. A recurring practical downside in the latest reviews is difficulty getting through by phone, alongside otherwise positive care experiences.

Sarah Smith Cardiology is a specialist veterinary cardiology clinic. Based on both the clinic data and what owners describe in reviews, it appears set up for referral-style heart investigations and ongoing management, including cardiac scans and long-term medication plans for conditions like cardiomyopathy and congestive heart failure. Owners repeatedly mention being able to phone for advice (calls answered or returned), getting clear, tailored explanations of test results, and being booked in for a scan within a few days in at least one urgent case. The clinic data also lists emergency veterinary services and that it is a veterinary nurse training facility.

Clent Hills Vets is an RCVS Accredited small-animal practice established in 1996, with multiple clinics and a dedicated Pet Fitness & Rehabilitation Centre. Ownership (independent vs part of a corporate group) isn’t stated in the information available to us. Based on the website and recent reviews, the practice appears set up for routine preventative care (vaccinations, parasite control, microchipping) alongside support for a wide range of small-animal species, and with out-of-hours emergency cover in place. Reviewers most often describe a welcoming front-of-house and vets/nurses who “explain everything,” with one reviewer noting the practice can be expensive.

Raoul Dowding Vets is a two-site veterinary practice (the website describes sites in Gainsborough and Bawtry). Based on the latest reviews, owners most often use them for routine care (annual vaccinations/boosters) and common “same-week” problems (for example, a suspected grass seed in a dog’s paw), and say vets spend time giving tailored advice rather than rushing appointments. Concrete examples mentioned include detailed guidance for a French bulldog’s allergies at a vaccination visit, removal of a grass seed from a dog’s foot, and staff taking in an injured bird and handling the situation kindly.

Westmoor Vets is an established small-animal practice (founded in the 1920s) with in-house diagnostics (lab, X-ray and ultrasound) and a wide service range from routine care through to referral-level procedures such as keyhole (laparoscopic) surgery and ophthalmology. The practice is accredited as an RCVS General Practice and a Cat Friendly Clinic (Gold). Recent reviews repeatedly describe being fitted in quickly for urgent problems (including a “poorly ear” and sudden illness while travelling) and owners mention leaving reassured with medication; one older review describes a successful double cataract removal with multiple post-op visits and phone advice.

Town Vets Limited is described on its website as an independent practice treating a wide range of domestic pets (including dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles and other small mammals). The website lists digital imaging, ultrasonography, HT Vista screening and K laser treatments, alongside standard vet consultations and nurse clinics. Out-of-hours care is provided by VetsNow (as stated on the clinic website). In the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: several owners describe prompt, reassuring care for procedures and urgent problems, while a small number report very negative experiences focused on communication and handling. Concrete examples mentioned include a dog having a lump removed and multiple teeth taken out, a travel health certificate, and an owner describing pre- and post-treatment contact around an emergency visit.

It’s set up as a training environment as well as a clinical service, with a named team of veterinary surgeons, registered veterinary nurses, auxiliary nursing support, and reception staff listed on its site.

Concrete specifics supported by the sources: - Listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. - Listed as providing emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). - End‑of‑life consultation described in reviews as unhurried, with options discussed clearly and no pressure to decide quickly.

The Veterinary Centre is a training practice for veterinary nurses (listed as a “Veterinary Nurse Training facility”). Based on recent reviews, it appears set up for routine pet care and same-day/short-notice appointments, with several owners describing friendly handling and clear communication (including a vet named Sarah). However, a small number of reviewers describe the opposite experience—feeling rushed, struggling to get timely appointments for a pet in pain, and disagreements over product choices (one review alleges refusal to help fit a flea collar because the practice “don’t believe in flea collars”). One reviewer also describes being referred to (or needing to use) an out-of-hours emergency team elsewhere. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: seeing a newly adopted dog at short notice; assessment of a dog’s heart (a murmur was mentioned); treatment of a hen; and use of an out-of-hours emergency service when a dog developed breathing difficulty.

Mojo Vets describes itself as an independent practice with two permanent vet owners and an emphasis on seeing familiar faces. The clinic highlights in-house kit for dental work (including dental radiography) plus abdomen and heart scans. In recent reviews, owners most often talk about dentistry and surgery (including a broken canine tooth/jaw involvement, dental extractions, and a bladder stone operation), with multiple examples of vets discussing lower-cost options rather than defaulting to the most expensive route. A notable exception is one recent 1‑star review describing a distressing experience during a booked emergency visit where the owner felt they were asked to leave while their dog was actively unwell; this conflicts with many other reviews describing urgent help being provided quickly.
