Top-ranked veterinary practices based on quality, service, and customer reviews
Smith & Foley is a long-established veterinary clinic (operating since 1964) treating small animals as well as large animals and equines. The website highlights in-house diagnostics (X‑ray, ultrasound, ECG, and an in-house lab) and 24‑hour emergency cover; recent reviews back up that out-of-hours care is being used in practice (one owner describes being asked to meet a vet within 30 minutes after calling the out-of-hours number). Owners also mention pets returning from procedures “in good spirits,” and a case where staff helped with a found dog that turned out to be a runaway.

Kelly's Veterinary Clinic is an independent practice (no corporate group is mentioned in the available information). The latest reviews describe a clinic that handles routine consultations and older-pet management, offers second opinions on surgical recommendations, and can refer cases on when needed. Owners give specific examples of: - A second-opinion plan that avoided surgery, instead using a diet, medication and exercise regime for an older dog. - Arthritis support including a thorough exam, short course of pain relief, and asking the owner to report back on comfort levels. - End-of-life care where one owner praised staff for accommodating detailed requests during euthanasia, while another reported being upset by how their pet was returned afterward (details in Reviews).

This listing appears to be for a human GP/medical clinic rather than a veterinary practice: the website source refers to O’Connell Family Practice (including “Consultations by appointment only” and an out‑of‑hours GP co‑op), and the reviews talk about registering with a GP and “lots of doctors.” The name in the clinic data (“Mahonstown Practice”) may not match the name used on the website. Based on the information available, the practice seems set up for: - General medical consultations by appointment (explicitly stated on the website source). - Out‑of‑hours cover via NEDOC (explicitly stated on the website source), rather than 24/7 in‑house care. Review signals are mixed: some reviewers describe the service as “efficient” and “excellent,” while a negative review describes no reply to emails about taking on new patients and then being told it would be “a couple of weeks” before hearing back.
