The service received from this veterinary practice is excellent. The staff at all levels are helpful and the veterinary practitioners are of the highest calibre. I had many pets over the years when living in London who required assistance from a vet and in comparison the quality of care knowledge of the staff and cost I have received from the Rochford Veterinary Surgery is much greater.

I've been using Rochford Veterinary Surgery for many years now, ever since they were recommended by a colleague for their kindness. They have, without fail, always been extremely kind and caring with my cats, both of whom needed some extra medical treatment in their lives.Come the day I inevitably get another cat or kitten, I will definitely be bringing it here for its examinations and injections, safe in the knowledge that it will be in safe hands.

A very good vets!! They actually think of the animal welfare more, which i like!! But they are very expensive!! Overall they are very good!! They took care of my hamster ( Humbug) who had to have his leg amputated!!

A massive thank you for your help today with our budgie, Splash - we had real trouble finding a vet that would help with a bird and, after losing his little friend yesterday, time was of the essence! Tracey-Ann was very kind and got us an appointment the same morning, and Daniella the vet was incredibly knowledgeable and compassionate. We weren't sure if Splash would make it but he is looking perkier already - what a lovely vet practice.

I have recently had to take my dog to the vets due to a lump on her side.I cannot thank Ian Jobson for the kind and understanding he has shown us. He is such a caring vet and really understand not only what the dog needs, but also to me as a her owner.This is one of the best vets I have ever used

Unfortunately we had to have our cat Poppy laid to rest recently.She was such a huge personality and it was difficult to say the least. Everyone at Rochford vets was very sensitive to this and I am grateful to them for making this time as comfortable as possible.I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Leigh Oliver

Took my mums cat for the first time, although her dog has been before. Then as now the Nurses and reception staff were lovely and friendly, the prices are very competitive and good, caring vets, excellent all-round

Natalie Crane

18:58 10 Jun 17

Yet again we received a such a warm welcome when we arrived yesterday, one of my dogs is terrified of anything unknown to her.... especially anyone who needs to examine her! But I do have to say, that all of the staff we have met have been absolutely brilliant, the gentle care & thorough attention they give to my dogs, the explanations to me, their knowledge and the affordability is second to none! You also don't feel like you are on a time limit which makes you leave feeling reassured & informed. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Claire Cooper Swaisland

20:10 04 May 17

I'd like to say a big thank you to the vet I saw yesterday. She helped make an awful situation bearable. I had to have my beautiful cat Sid put to sleep yesterday. At almost 17, he was the most amazing cat. You were so kind, explaining and supporting me through out. That means so much. Thanks. X
