So caring and helpful. Made us feel less anxious and our cat coped better than expected with his visit due to their support and kindness.
I want thank everyone at Sarah Smith Cardiology from the bottom of my heart! Ruth and Sarah were absolutely fantastic. I can’t recommend them enough. They were professional, compassionate and incredibly reassuring from the consultation right through until after surgery.
Whilst taking your dog to the cardiologist in any circumstances isn't great, during the pandemic makes it a lot worse. However we were reassured by the caring professional nature of Sarah. Dudley was very well looked after and couldn't have been in better hands
You always expect professionalism from medical staff (and you will find it here)... What you will also find here, that is becoming increasingly rare nowadays, is humanity and empathy.
