Broadway Veterinary Surgery says it has been looking after pets for over thirty years, offers an emergency service for registered clients outside normal surgery hours, and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews give practical examples of how the team operates: staff helping owners work around drop-off/pick-up constraints for a pet’s surgery, clear post-op care explanations (including what to watch for at home), and at least one owner noting the vet suggested the “cheapest approach” before considering surgery and didn’t push food/products. There is also a conflicting account from another reviewer who says the practice refused to supply worming tablets for their cat even when they provided the cat’s weight and said the cat had worms.
