HISTORY

Established almost 25 years ago, by the partners John Bailey and Heather Benbow we have specialised in companion animal care and in providing the highest standard of clinical excellence.

Since opening our first surgery in Ripley, Derbyshire, we opened a much larger facility in a converted NHS maternity hospital in Heanor, Derbyshire over 10 years ago.  In 2001 a further surgery was opened in Aspley, Nottingham and as part of our expansion plans, a fourth surgery opened in May 2002 in the Wollaton suburb of Nottingham.

TODAY

From the outset we have sought to provide the best surgical and medical care for all the animals that pass through our doors and to do so with expertise and sensitivity.

To achieve this end we are constantly updating our equipment and facilities and within the practice we have available:

• Fully equipped operating rooms with the latest anaesthetic equipment, monitoring equipment and surgical instrumentation;
  
• X-ray facilities, including automatic processors to ensure rapid results;
  
• The latest colour ultrasound equipment;
