Midsummer Veterinary Group

Midsummer Veterinary Group is an independent companion-animal practice established in 1985. Based on the clinic’s own information, it’s set up for first-opinion care with on-site diagnostics (digital X‑rays, ultrasound, endoscopy, in-house blood results) and dentistry (including digital dental X‑ray equipment and air-driven dental instruments), alongside surgery in a dedicated theatre. The website also describes 24/7 support via a partnership with Vets Now. Recent reviews mention care for rabbits and an “amazing tortoise hibernation clinic”; experiences of staff manner are mixed, including one account of a brash, rude euthanasia consultation contrasted with multiple long-term clients and praise for thorough explanations.
