M Gourley Veterinary Surgeons - Ashton-under-Lyne

In the last few months my family have sent two male kittens to be castrated and chipped. Both came out with injuries. A spinal injury that has that has taken ages and it still getting better. The other cat an eye injury as he somehow managed to scratch the iris on his eye. After the spinal injury which was caused by them using epidurals and catching a nerve on the spine. I asked how they were going to sedate the second cat and I was told it would be a cannula above his paw. But I got him back and there was not shave mark on his fur so I was straight up lied to. To confound it all they tried to overcharge me after injuring my cat. My family will never use this vet again as we fear for our cats safety in their overpriced hands

Receptionist was rude and ambivalent. I used to go to the Stalybridge branch and had fantastic service and very friendly staff. Since they closed that surgery I started to go to Ashton surgery. The staff there are never very friendly. I called to order my dogs regular flee tick treatment and asked to pick it up the following day after 5pm. She said she couldn't guarantee it would be ready as a vet had to sign off and they may be to busy. They require 72 hours. What nonsense. Stalybridge would have it ready the same day. She said she would send a text when it was ready. They sent it 3 days later, knowing I would only be in town on the day I asked to pick it up. This practice seems to care less about your animal then they do about overbooking the number of patients. Very disappointed

Fantastic vets receptionists very helpful and friendly vets are brilliant especially Lindsey pass and diego my dog willow was very well looked after during her recent operation.The nurses are lovely too very helpful and I felt informed and everything explained to me all along the way .I would definitely recommend this vet with complete confidence.

Many thanks to all at the Ashton surgery for their timely help with the feral cat caught in our neighbour's fox trap. No one else could offer us any help so we really appreciate your putting yourselves out for him. We are glad to be able to report that we have seen him since his release (visiting our cat-nip plants!) and, thanks to you, he seems to be in great health.

We signed up with this vets as it was local and it was a huge mistake. We took our minature dachshund in 3 times and she left worse than she went in on 2 occasions due to overdosage from them! They gave us flee treatment for a large dog with a weight of 10kg-20kg when our dog only weighs 5kg. We gave her the treatment and when I noticed how much there was I rang the vets and they were very worried and told us to wash it off in the bath immediately. Another time they gave us flea and worming treatment and told us to go home and give them at the same time. Our dog got extremely sick vomiting and not eating or drinking for days on end. Turns out that you cannot give tiny puppies both at the same time as it overwhelms them and makes them ill. No apologies from them at all, just a £100 bill for probiotics and anti-sickness injection for sickness that THEY CAUSED! So, like I said, 2 out of 3 visits they over-dosed our dog leaving her worse off than when she arrived. We thankfully were able to leave this vets and go to another which has been a lot better and cheaper too. Never again!
