May I just take this opportunity to thank WAVES ever so much!!! I was very impressed by the friendly and professional service I received – from the reception staff, nurses and vets! The vet kept me informed the whole way through the various stages of my dogs treatment and I was never left wondering. The team was awesome, they had genuine empathy and lovely bedside manner when I came to visit my dog. I’m SUPER impressed – thank you so much again. I can’t recommend WAVES enough, and although I hope to not need an emergency vet again anytime soon – I would not hesitate to return to WAVES – Client Review
