Testimonials

A recent Queen Mother Hospital for Animals (QMHA) client satisfaction survey (conducted in 2010) revealed that the majority of clients rate their experience as "excellent" with "the staff" being the one thing they most liked about the hospital. 96% of clients would be "very likely" or "likely" to return to the QMHA and 97% would recommend the QMHA to friends or family.

Comments from survey:

  • I have nothing but praise for your staff, they were absolutely fantastic! Kind, patient, honest, they are a credit to your organisation.
  • Quality of care by nurses, veterinary students and vets was top class.
  • Your level of communication has always been first class
  • After seeing how my pet was handled during the initial session, I knew I had nothing to worry about.
  • The examinations that took place during my pet's illness were thorough, calm and dignified. I was very upset during some of those and I always felt supported and that their focus was totally on my dog.
  • Mr B saved my dog's life - can't put a price on that!
  • We were very impressed by the attitude and care shown and have been singing your praises!
  • We will be returning for any future requirements our pets may have. After our positive experience we won't be going anywhere else.

Other tributes:

Thank you for your care and commitment in reconstructing this small animal’s life; he means the world to us.
Mrs W, Orpington

Your work is invaluable. Long may you pioneer and find ways of giving us owners a little more time with our mates.
Mr W, Norwich

It is comforting for us to know that your services are close at hand in an emergency.
Ms G, Hemel Hempstead

We are sure this is your standard good practice but we wished to write because we were so impressed by the manner in which our dog was treated. In busy times (and these must be constant at the hospital), it could be easy to forget the human side of the work. Mr C’s love of animals was shown throughout the consultation and our dog was treated with care and love as well as medical expertise. We felt Mr C fully acknowledged our dog’s status as our much-loved family pet and recognised and responded to our anxiety regarding his ill health.
Mr and Mrs G, Beckenham

I would like to thank you and other members of staff who cared for my dog during his several periods of hospitalisation during the last 10 years. It is reassuring to know that we all provided the best possible care for him during his life and that would not have been possible without the professional, committed and dedicated staff found within the hospital. Due to your actions our dog lived a comfortable and happy life.
Mr and Mrs C, Gillingham

To all the team at the QMHA, thank you so much for your care, faith and hospitality. We are one very happy family and for the time being we are enjoying it!
Mr W, Peacehaven

I just wanted you to know how much I valued your work and your manner in what was a very difficult time for me. You were truly truly great and if news of this outcome can be seen as some kind of reward for you and your colleagues at the QMH, then so much the better. You guys rock!
Mr R, London N16

Thank you for everything you did for our pet. She’s a lovely dog and doing really well. She is running around and enjoying life again, and it’s all down to you and the team.
Miss J, Herts

Please pass on my thanks to your staff for their care, compassion and professional approach in their field in seeking a cure for Max and working against time. They constantly kept my family informed. They are all a credit to your establishment.

Thank you to your whole team for the care and skill you showed in performing his operations. We love having him back with us with so much vitality.
