Sisters dog had an operation at Torrington Orthopaedics after a fall down stairs, all went well and they looked after him really well.

My vets had referred my cat to Torrington/Yorkshire independent referrals over a month ago. They have absolutely messed us around for the entire time. They wanted more reports on his scans etc then said they don't do the operation he needs, we don't even know if he needs a operation yet and how they can say that without even seeing him. They then lied to our vets saying they told us that they don't have a vet until new year so to be referred elsewhere. They never contacted us, my cat is now still in pain and no further forward with the cause and now having to get him referred elsewhere, they honestly don't seem to know what they are doing

Very clean clinic with the best staff, always deliver the best quality care you could ask for when your pet needs medical care, from the minute you arrive for your appointment to when your pet is discharged, I cannot fault a single thing, they are truly amazing at what they do. Also Raquel is brilliant and has looked after our dog the few times we’ve been here. 5/5 stars from us.
