## Summary Damer Veterinary Clinic is a general veterinary practice with reviews describing both routine care and surgical treatment. Recent feedback includes owners thanking the team for “sorting me out” and one owner describing their dog’s surgery and aftercare as “amazing.” However, a separate recent review strongly warns others to “check everything going on and ask the questions,” stating their young cat died at the clinic—so experiences reported are mixed and include a serious negative outcome.
