Saintfield Veterinary Clinic describes itself on its website as an independent, primary care practice (part of the Ashwood Vets site) offering both medicine and surgery, including soft tissue and orthopaedic procedures. Recent reviews back up that surgical capability with multiple first-hand accounts of dogs undergoing operations (including TPLO surgery) and owners describing thorough aftercare and follow-up advice when needed. Several reviewers also mention urgent/emergency appointments being accommodated and a communication style that includes clear explanations and regular updates by message during a pet’s stay. One cat owner explicitly notes there was “no hard sale” and that a more conservative plan was supported for an elderly cat.
