What to expect 2 of 3

You will leave knowing what happens next.

History, examination, then a plan in plain language. If tests would help we quote them first, so nothing is a surprise.

  • A written plan and any quotes before you agree

The same vet, wherever we can manage it.

Continuity matters more in general practice than almost anywhere else. We keep you with the same clinician so nobody has to be told the story twice.
