Evergreen Veterinary Surgery

Evergreen Veterinary Surgery describes itself as a small, locally owned independent practice and is RCVS accredited under the Practice Standards Scheme. The website and reviews suggest it’s set up for both routine preventative care (appointments, boosters, new-pet checks) and more involved cases, with orthopaedics and soft tissue surgery listed and multiple owners mentioning sedation for X‑rays and surgery/referrals.

Concrete specifics owners mention include: regular “pop-in” visits to help a nervous dog get comfortable with the clinic; WhatsApp updates (including a recovery photo) after a dog was sedated for X‑rays; taking time to explain plans for an elderly dog; and arranging/communicating with specialists for a second opinion.
