Clinic Overview

Beaumont Veterinary Centre provides routine and surgical care for a range of pets (dogs, cats and small animals including guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets and hamsters). The clinic website lists procedures including keyhole surgery, soft-tissue and orthopaedic surgery, ultrasound, dental examinations, neutering and nurse clinics; emergency care is mentioned but without specifics.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe calm handling and clear explanations during appointments, with several concrete examples: same-day help for a limping dog with medication, dental surgery followed by strong post-operative support, and abscess treatment for a guinea pig. Reviews also include a serious complaint about inconsistent clinical advice between vets and unexpectedly higher charges (including blood tests), plus concerns about sedation dosage and delays transferring records.

People

Names and roles listed on the clinic website (with relevant review examples where available)

  • Mal Mcguile (Director of Practice): one reviewer thanks Mal for managing a complex account, timely insurance claims and reimbursements where an account went into credit; another reviewer describes a poor experience involving costs, lack of apology/discount, and a dispute about record transfer.
  • Michael Sercombe (Veterinary Surgeon): mentioned positively for treating multiple cats “with such care” (review).
  • Emily Staunton (Veterinary Surgeon): thanked by name for care and treatment of a guinea pig receiving abscess treatment (review).
  • Mandy Kohary (Head RVN): described as “outstanding” by an owner whose 19-year-old cat attends monthly for a pain injection (review).

  • Leah (Receptionist): singled out for helping a distressed owner at reception and for being attentive during a stressful visit (review).

Reviews

Google rating: 4.7 stars from 277 reviews. - Calm, reassuring consultations and clear explanations (especially noted for nervous owners/pets and for cats being handled gently).

  • Timely help for urgent-but-not-emergency problems: one owner reports a same-day appointment for a limping dog and medication that allowed them to manage the issue quickly.
  • Procedures with follow-up support mentioned: dental surgery with “phenomenal” post-operative care; a “small op” for an anxious dog; abscess treatment for a guinea pig.
  • Practice environment and front-desk experience: multiple reviews mention the clinic being clean/tidy and reception staff being helpful; one review highlights being supported during a panic attack.
  • Conflicting experiences around continuity, advice and charges: one longer negative review alleges contradictory recommendations between vets (including whether surgery was necessary), unexpected extra costs for blood tests, concerns about sedation dosage for a small elderly cat, and delays transferring records. Another reviewer also notes staff turnover over several years, while still describing good ongoing nursing and vet care.
