Clinic Overview

Knutsford Veterinary Surgery is led by Dr Paul Adams (BVetMed, GPCert(Ophthal), MRCVS), with reviewers repeatedly seeking it out for specialist input—particularly eye problems (“Paul is an eye specialist”) and dermatology-style workups for persistent skin allergies. Recent reviews describe detailed written follow-up after appointments (including follow-up emails and prompt written treatment plans), and a stepwise, explained approach to problems (for example: antibiotics and a swab test before eventual cyst removal). The clinic is also described as efficient and punctual, and one reviewer notes a bereavement “candle” used in the waiting room to signal quiet respect when a pet has died.

Services

  • Ophthalmology/eye cases: reviewers describe Dr Paul as an “eye specialist.”
  • Dermatology/skin allergy investigations: a reviewer sought the practice out for “specialist dermatology services,” describing both short-term relief and a structured long-term plan.
  • Surgery: cyst removal is described (after prior medical management and testing); dog spaying is described, including laparoscopic spay with two small incisions and a post-op review.
  • Preventive care for kittens: health check, vaccinations, and microchipping are all mentioned together in one visit.
  • Diagnostics and medical treatment: swab testing and antibiotics are explicitly mentioned as part of managing an ongoing cyst issue.
  • Nurse support/medication guidance: a reviewer notes a nurse taking time to explain medications; another mentions nail/claw clipping covered under a plan.
  • Insurance paperwork support: one reviewer mentions timely help with insurance claims.
  • Emergency care: clinic data lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours), but no further details are provided in the available website summary/reviews.
  • Training: clinic data lists the practice as a veterinary nurse training facility.

Pricing

  • Complimentary first consultation: one reviewer states their first consultation (for a skin allergy case) was complimentary.
  • Plan mentioned (no price stated): a “gold plan” is referenced as covering claw clipping and providing ongoing support, but no cost or full inclusions are given.

People

  • Dr Paul Adams (BVetMed, GPCert(Ophthal), MRCVS): described as an eye specialist; reviewers mention clear, detailed explanations and written follow-up (follow-up emails; prompt, comprehensive treatment plans). One reviewer describes him sitting on the floor to put a nervous dog at ease.
  • Nick / Dr Nick Bayley (vet): mentioned for kitten health checks/vaccination start and microchipping; another reviewer credits him with successfully performing a laparoscopic spay and notes a notably quick recovery.
  • Veterinary nurses and reception team: repeatedly mentioned for reassurance and practical support, including medication explanations and help with insurance claims.

Reviews

4.9 stars from 284 reviews. - Owners describe clear communication and written aftercare, including follow-up emails, detailed treatment plans, and time spent explaining medications.

  • Specialist-led problem solving is a recurring reason for choosing the practice (eye cases; structured investigation and planning for ongoing skin allergies).
  • Surgery experiences are described in detail: laparoscopic spay with small incisions and fast recovery, and cyst management progressing from antibiotics/swab testing to successful removal.
  • Several reviewers mention choosing the practice even when it’s less convenient to travel to, specifically because of the service and expertise.
  • The clinic environment is described as very clean and thoughtfully managed (including a children’s play area and a waiting-room candle used to signal a pet loss).
