Michael Burke Veterinary Practice

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. Reviews specifically mention an operation on an older dog where the team removed a suspected skin cancer and ran analysis that came back as a benign tumour, and multiple accounts of euthanasia handled with privacy and clear, unhurried explanations. Practical touches owners call out include being given a private room and avoiding reception during a goodbye visit, and receiving a condolence card afterwards.
