O'Connor Julian Veterinary Surgeons

O’Connor Julian Veterinary Surgeons describes itself as a second‑generation, family‑owned mixed practice established in 1967, caring for farm animals, equines and companion animals. The clinic states it provides a 24/7, year‑round service, supported by a team of veterinary surgeons and nurses and VCI Practice Accreditation Scheme status. Recent reviews align with a practice geared to everyday companion‑animal needs as well as urgent problems—one owner reports getting help for a cat with an injury while travelling, and multiple reviewers emphasise professional handling and supportive staff during difficult visits (including end‑of‑life care).
