Wicstun Veterinary Hospital is a long-established practice (the website states it has served the community for over 90 years) and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. It’s also described in the clinic data as providing emergency veterinary services (24/7/extended-hours). From recent reviews, it appears set up for urgent and hospital-level care as well as routine work: owners describe rapid emergency triage (including a nurse meeting them on arrival), admission with IV fluids, surgery, and repeat visits for sedated dressing changes after a serious dog-attack injury. There’s also mention of a “new cat clinic,” which one owner says helped an anxious cat settle in the waiting room and tolerate handling. Experiences around communication and fees are mixed: some owners describe compassionate end-of-life care and clear kindness at reception, while others report not receiving promised call-backs or a named contact, and a few raise serious complaints about unexpected or disputed charges.

Independent practice founded in 1985 by Tim Stead (BVSc MRCVS). The clinic describes itself as appointment-only and offers a 24/7 emergency service, with on-site equipment listed including X‑ray, ultrasound, laser, video endoscope and diathermy systems. It’s also stated to be a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews paint a mixed picture: many owners specifically praise Tim’s “get on with it” style and surgical capability (examples include a planned C‑section with 6 puppies delivered, and a male dog’s operation involving an undescended testicle), while others describe being rushed, poor communication during appointments, and a lack of compassion—particularly around euthanasia and a post‑whelping illness.

Priory Vets offers routine and urgent veterinary care, with emergency care mentioned on its website. It’s listed as an IVC Evidensia Positive Pawprint Partner (as stated on the site). In reviews, owners repeatedly describe practical, hands-on support during appointments—such as a nurse helping one person manage three cats for simultaneous appointments, including help carrying pets in and cleaning up after an accident. Other specific examples include staff explaining the process clearly before euthanasia, and a vet calling back late in the evening (10pm) to check a dog was OK after a telephone consultation. Some owners also value continuity, mentioning their rescue dog being able to see the same professionals across visits.

In reviews, owners repeatedly describe calm, low-stress handling during routine work (for example, vaccinations for a pony that “isn’t keen on vets”), alongside support for more urgent situations (including a late-night call-out for choke with follow-up answers to questions through the day). Practical, hands-on services also come up, such as clipping—including one case involving sedation and being hot clothed after.

Garth Pig Practice Limited
Driffield
Our Score (63/100)

Battle Flatts Veterinary Clinic is part of the CVS group (a corporate veterinary provider) and is described on its website as a small animal practice established in the 1980s. The clinic offers routine care and surgery, with an out-of-hours arrangement directing emergencies to York Emergency Vets for free telephone advice and emergency consultations. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are sharply mixed: several owners single out vet Hannah for support in difficult situations (including end-of-life care for a rabbit and ongoing care for a cockatiel with chronic egg-laying), while a small number of reviewers describe serious concerns after routine procedures and check-ups (including allegations of incorrect diagnosis, poor handling, and a severe post-castration complication requiring treatment elsewhere). Concrete points supported by the inputs include: - Out-of-hours emergencies are routed to York Emergency Vets (free phone advice and emergency consultations), rather than being handled in-house. - Nurse consultations are listed as a specific service, alongside vet consultations. - Reviews mention care for non-traditional pets (a cockatiel and a rabbit), not only dogs/cats. - Multiple negative reviews describe disputes about diagnosis and post-op outcomes, and complaints about costs (without specific prices).

Kingston Veterinary Group is a Puppy Friendly Practice (as stated on its website) and partners with Vets Now for out-of-hours emergencies. Reviews suggest the practice handles everything from routine care (for example, nail trims for anxious older dogs) to more intensive inpatient cases (one owner describes their dog being hospitalised for nearly a week and receiving a blood transfusion).

Concrete examples mentioned by owners include: - Nail trimming for anxious dogs, described as an unusually smooth visit from booking through to leaving. - Being “squeezed in” at the last minute for a neglected puppy needing urgent checks. - Hospital care including a blood transfusion and ongoing updates during admission. - Out-of-hours emergency attendance arranged via Vets Now, with one reviewer describing a late-night bird emergency.

Westpoint Group Trading Ltd – Murton is part of the Westpoint group and is set up as a livestock-focused veterinary practice rather than a small-animal clinic. The website lists routine and emergency farm work alongside reproduction-focused services (including cattle and sheep AI and embryo work), and reviews mention vets attending farm visits (including late-night call-outs). In the latest reviews available to us, sheep keepers describe getting hands-on guidance as new flock owners, and one detailed account describes a late-night visit for a sick orphan calf where the vet used the Madigan Squeeze technique and stayed on-site rather than rushing off. There is also a negative review alleging the “lead vet” was insulting in writing, while “the rest of the staff are fine.”
