E Barbour-Hill – Vets in Gwynedd
Clinic Overview
E Barbour-Hill appears to be an independent veterinary practice (one long-term client contrasts it with “corporate” clinics and values seeing the same vet each visit). Based on both the clinic data and multiple owner accounts, it seems especially set up for dental work: several reviews describe complex tooth-saving treatment where other vets had recommended extraction. Owners also mention clear explanations before procedures and strong aftercare, including being “pleasantly surprised by the bill” (no specific prices given). The clinic also lists emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours).
Concrete specifics owners mention
- •Tooth-saving dental treatment (e.g., a tooth saved that another vet said would need extracting).
- •Repair work for broken canine teeth (one owner says three canine teeth were fixed and saved).
- •Surgery with careful handling of nervous/smaller dogs (one mentions their dachshund’s surgery).
- •“Exceptional” aftercare mentioned after dental work.
Services
Services and capabilities referenced include
- •Veterinary dentistry, described by owners as specialist-level dental care.
- •Tooth preservation/repair where extraction had been advised elsewhere (including treatment for broken canine teeth).
- •Surgery (type not specified in the reviews beyond dental/surgical care for an individual dog).

People
- •E. Barbour-Hill (vet; referred to as “Mr Barbour Hill” and “Dr. E.

Several accounts focus on decision-making around avoiding extraction by fixing/saving teeth instead.
- •Team (unnamed): Described as “kind and gentle” during dental care, with “exceptional” aftercare mentioned by one owner.
Reviews
Google rating: 4.6 stars from 22 reviews.
- •Repeated praise for dental work that avoided extractions (saving a tooth; repairing and saving three broken canine teeth).
- •Communication is frequently mentioned: explaining procedures clearly and spending significant time on complex cases (one owner says he spent “his whole day” fixing dental injuries).
- •Aftercare is singled out positively in at least one dental case.
- •A minority negative signal exists: one 1-star review says “Very poor avoid” but provides no details, which conflicts with the otherwise detailed positive accounts.

My almost 3 year old labrador Zak broke 3 of his canine teeth, and at Veterinary surgeon and Dr. E.Barbour-Hill,they were able to do everything to fix and save his teeth without having to extract them out by our local vets.Absolutely unique work, he spent his whole day fixing all of this, I can't express all my gratitude. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your work,knowledge, and experience.

Initially recommend by a colleague whose daughter is a vet and had knowledge of local vets in the area. He looked after our two dogs for years. Very kind and very knowledgable and I always felt that when the dogs were in his care I don’t have to worry.

Mr Barbour Hill was our vet for 17 years and fantastic with all our menagerie . We felt he had a huge knowledge and respect for animals, and we never felt ripped off . Very calm, quiet and efficient, the dogs were always waggy tailed and happy to see him. We've moved now and although we have a good practice nearby we do miss the old school privilege of seeing the same pleasant and non-corporate vet on each visit . All our animals lived long healthy lives.
