Timperley Veterinary Centre – Vets in Altrincham

Updated January 2026

Clinic Overview

Timperley Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent clinic (BuchananVets). Reviews most often talk about routine care (health checks and annual vaccinations) as well as more serious illness/ongoing support for older pets, with several owners singling out follow-up and communication (including a vet calling in the evening to check on a dog’s progress). Named clinicians (Simon and Lucy) are repeatedly mentioned for taking time to settle pets before examining them and involving owners in treatment decisions.
