1066 Veterinary Centre – Vets in St. Leonards-On-Sea
Clinic Overview
- Positive care and communication: some reviewers describe “caring vets,” friendly staff, and clear explanations; one review says the vet tried to keep costs down and explained what was needed and what it would cost. - Waiting times and service experience: multiple complaints describe long waits with no explanation or apology, and dissatisfaction with reception interactions. - Disputes about treatment plans and perceived value: some owners question recommended treatments (including dental recommendations) and describe feeling pressured or that the practice is “in it for the money,” while others report the opposite (cost-conscious care).
