Susan Roulston Vet Clinic appears to be a small, vet-led practice where clients specifically mention Susan by name and describe her handling as gentle and low-stress for animals. Reviews repeatedly highlight calm, patient treatment during visits (including for puppies) and note that charges are not “extreme” compared with other vets. One review reports a negative front-desk experience (rude/condescending receptionist), which conflicts with other comments describing staff as “lovely.” A review from a year ago also claims the clinic wasn’t taking on new clients at that time.
