Palmer and Duncan Veterinary Surgeons

Palmer and Duncan Veterinary Surgeons is listed in clinic data as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (the exact out-of-hours arrangement isn’t specified). Recent reviews describe practical, problem-solving appointments—examples include a same-day Saturday visit for an infected anal gland and a first-visit medication plan that improved a dog’s long-running symptoms. One vet is named in reviews (“Joe”), and reception is also repeatedly mentioned as part of a smooth experience. The clinic website text we could access mainly notes temporary disruption to phone/internet connections, rather than detailing services.
