The Bishops Veterinary Surgery
You're welcome to pop into our Hertfordshire practice to have a look around and say hello! Please read our advice following recent reports of confirmed parvovirus cases in the local area. The staff are so kind and caring. If treatment needs to be given, they tell you why, in detail, and give you a guide to any and all costs involved. We always get great treatment. We've used this surgery for 17 years, the vets and the nurses are always friendly and tell you everything you need to know.
Services
The Bishops Veterinary Surgery was set up in 1991. At Bishops, we are here for you when your pets need us the most - when they are unwell. We have experienced, qualified staff who will do their utmost to get to the bottom of the problem and come up with a solution. However, we're not just there for the bad times.
We are aware that coming to the vets can be a stressful time for our feline friends so when they are here, we try to minimise their stress levels. Our staff have been trained to be empathetic to a cat's needs, we have a separate cat waiting area and there are towels behind reception that you can ask for to cover their catboxes to make them feel more secure.
We believe that nutrition is an important part of keeping pets healthy and can also play a vital part in the treatment of some illnesses. This is why we stock a select range of cat and dog pet food in practice, helping to take the faff out of pet food for our clients by recommending diets that have been scientifically created to provide optimal nutrition, which tastes great!
Once you have your kitten, it is important to give them the best start in life by setting them up with a preventative health care plan to keep them healthy and safe from disease. Our vaccination course encompasses 2 health checks with our vets and vaccination against flu (calicivirus and herpesvirus), enteritis (panleukopenia) and feline leukaemia virus.
You may be used to vaccinating your dogs and cats, but have you ever considered that your rabbits need vaccinations too? There are 2 fatal rabbit diseases - Myxomatosis and Viral Haemorrhagic Disease (VHD) - that we can protect our rabbits from, both of which are found in the wild rabbit population in the UK and can be transmitted to our pets.

Critical: Quality
Poor diagnosis of my pet resulting in a tumour growth that should have been picked up. It was by another vet. Unfortunately it was too late. They also always try to sell you something you really do not need. Wholly disappointed.

Such a fantastic experience. Excellent, affordable and great value pet plan, they really took a genuine interest in my dog and his nutrition. Thanks to Sam for the support and advice and vet Caroline (I think that's her name). Highly recommend.

Beautiful people are working here. I sadly had to have my cat put down this year and they couldn't have been any nicer about it. All staff were understanding, companionate, caring, loving, calm, collected. They were always very kind to our pets, aware of them being quite scared and nervous and would always try to comfort them.

After 30 years of being with this vets and haveing always been satisfied, ive now changed vets!! Yves is lovely, never had any probs there , but you don't always get a choice of vets. I've found Catherine very pushy, talks at you not to you and comes across as very money orientated, it's her way only, no compromise. Also my cat needed dental treatment, and if he was found to need extractions, it would be under 2 anesthesics, which i disagree with, it should all be done under 1 anesthesic. Catherine wouldn't budge so we changed vets. Now cat's teeth all done under 1 anesthesic. Better for my cat

Very rude staff. Especially Lorraine I think she is RACIST. She told me 2 of us can not wait in the vets.
The next customer was 2 people and they were not thrown out. Would not go there again. Would stay clear of this vets. I'm sure there's better places around.

Cathy the clinical director, she's got the power! Similar to the great leader of North Korea, she plays a round of golf in 18 strokes and demands total respect.Stupidly i voiced a differing opinion to the great leader, boy,she gets nasty . My dog and I have fled South and defected to a new vet and a life full of wide open spaces and endless games of fetch. If you're reading this and thinking of bishops vets for your loved one,remember what kim(sorry cathy) does to his/her own unloyal family. Youve been warned!

Don't risk your pets life by going to this vet. They killed my Snowball.
I got my rabbit Snowball spayed here. She died due to the negligence of the vet. She was having trouble eating and drinking and pooping. She was not cleaning herself. This is dangerous for the rabbit. I took her every single day for a week. They just kept telling me that I needed to keep force feeding her and that eventually it would get better. Now that I've seen a better vet I know this is not the case. A vet shouldn't send a rabbit home who is in such a bad condition that they aren't even able to groom themselves. This

Went in with my Leopard Gecko and got amazing treatment. Everything was explained to me well, in detail and with great professionalism by Dr Yves Gisseleire. 10/10 would recommend to anyone with an exotic reptile!

The man vet here, Yves, from Belgium, is fantastic, as are all his nurses. They are a really compassionate bunch. My 16 year old Shih Tzu Zoe is treated by Yves with a monthly steroid jan to keep her tiny frame strong. I highly recommend this vets.
