Disappointing Service at Uxbridge

Seen by the Uxbridge branch three times in two weeks, spending almost £800, and my cat was getting worse each visit. We had an ultrasound, worming treatment, antibiotics, probiotics, and were told twice to change her food — nothing helped. I finally went to another vet, and within 24 hours the difference in my cat was incredible. He actually took the time to understand what was wrong and clearly cared about the animal, not just the money. I’m shocked at how two vets can differ so much. The Uxbridge branch felt like a conveyor belt of expensive treatments with no improvement, while the new vet solved the issue immediately.

Service and care inconsistent…

Called to book an appointment and got through a called centre, the assistant was more interested in practicing her Spanish with me than in booking the appointment.
She did book an appointment at the Tooting branch where I have been going for over 25 years with different pets and before it was taken over by Goddard.
They seem to have different staff every time I visit so the service and care is very inconsistent.
The front staff seemed distracted and uncaring.
The vet was more caring and simpathetic although rather insecured.
The prices astronomical.
I also requested anti flea treatment which I have always got from them, this time I was told to go online to purchase the product as it would be "cheaper" although and in order to do that i had to pay £25 for the prescription, go through that hassle and wait for the delivery.
The only reason why I continue to use Goddard is because is close to me.
The service and care keep worsening every time.

Goddard’s Ilford: So Nice, compassionate, and thorough

I needed to arrange an impromptu appointment for one of my cats, at the Ilford Goddard’s. They were friendly on the phone, showed genuine concern and empathy, and managed to get me an appointment for later that day! The male vet that I saw was so kind, compassionate, and gentle with my cat. It was apparent that he really loves animals. He gave a full assessment, ensuring not to distress my cat. He also gave me helpful reassurances that put my mind at ease. The nurses were then very nice when it came time for payment. I would very highly recommend anyone to attend Goddard’s Ilford!

Buddy owes his life to Enti and the team

Our dog Buddy has been a regular 'visitor' to Goddards Practice in The Greenway,Uxbridge for many years. There's been many challenging times for him. Enti has always gone that extra mile for all of us. She is an invaluable Vet deserving of a 'gold medal' and a credit to Goddards. She deserves the support of other Vets to ensure she can continue her excellent work in caring for all the sick animals who visit this practice. Also, the nurses are brilliant too and we would not want this practice to close.

The staff were all helpful

The staff were all helpful. I was able to get an appointment the same day at the Hackney branch which was great. The vet was kind and competent. My dog had a puncture in his foot from a grass seed. When I got home I looked at his other foot which had a similar problem - neither I nor the vet thought of checking his other feet at the time! I have always found Goddards very helpful - BUT this visit I was utterly shocked by the enormous mark up on the prescribed treatment. This has left me losing trust in this vet. When possible in future I will ask for a prescription and get the medication myself. HOwever I am worried that if my dog had a serious problem the cost would quickly outstrip my insurance. It is becoming prohibitive to contemplate a visit to the vet which is not in any pets best interests. I appreciate there are overheads and would perhaps have felt better if some explanation of markups was given up front.

Excellent and friendly out of hours care

The team were great when my cat was worryingly ill on a Sunday evening. They offered out of hours consultation and, called to let us know there was a cancellation, meaning we could bring him earlier which was a relief. Friendly and helpful. All is now well with our puddy.
