Emergency Vets in Gwynedd

## Summary 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). - Emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours), as listed in the clinic’s service information. ## People - **E. Barbour-Hill (vet; referred to as “Mr Barbour Hill” and “Dr. E. Barbour-Hill”)**: Owners repeatedly mention detailed explanations (“really explained everything”), a calm manner, and gentle handling. 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.** **Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.** - 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.
