Michael Burke Veterinary Practice is a general veterinary clinic that owners most often describe in terms of surgery/diagnostics and supportive end-of-life care.

Practical touches owners call out include being given a private room and avoiding reception during a goodbye visit, and receiving a condolence card afterwards.

Crowes Veterinary Clinic is a small-animal practice (dogs and cats are repeatedly mentioned) where owners describe routine care for senior pets, second-opinion assessments, and surgical procedures such as spaying. Reviews give concrete examples of the team providing detailed explanations during appointments, supplying repeat medication after receiving a script from another vet, and giving aftercare advice following surgery (including guidance for post-op recovery and “day visit or a stay over” mentions).

What stands out in owner accounts is responsiveness outside normal times (examples include being seen on Boxing Day and a reported 3am emergency where the clinic was “up and running” quickly). Several reviews also mention practical follow-through during appointments (one horse owner said the vet talked them through aftercare and checked that all was well). A minority of recent reviews report the opposite experience—no apparent urgency for a very ill cat and a promised call-back that didn’t happen.
