Heath & Reach Veterinary Surgery describes itself as a small-animal practice for dogs, cats, and small mammals. Recent reviews suggest it’s commonly used for ongoing medical management (one owner mentions repeat visits for a chronically ill cat for “top ups” of antibiotics and steroids) as well as general consultations (for example, discussing a cat’s skin allergy). Experiences are mixed: many reviewers describe helpful advice and trust in a named vet (Hannah), while two recent 1‑star reviews allege poor communication and a misdiagnosis during a pandemic-era outdoor exam.
