Campbells Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Swansea

Clinic Overview

Campbells Veterinary Surgery is a small-animal practice established in the 1950s and listed as an RCVS General Practice. The website points to a broad, general-practice setup (in-house lab plus X‑ray and ultrasound), with routine care through to surgery and an orthopaedic surgery referral service.

From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed and can hinge on who you deal with: some owners describe very supportive handling during distressing visits (including an unexpected cat appointment), while others report problems with reception/customer service, appointment disruption on arrival, and concerns about cleanliness. Clinical outcomes mentioned include treatment of a severe dental infection with multiple tooth extractions and ongoing routine care (vaccines, anal gland expression, health checks), plus patient handling for a nervous dog.

Services

Based on the website summary, the practice offers

  • Consultations and six‑month health checks
  • Vaccinations and parasite control
  • Microchipping
  • Neutering

  • Surgery, including an orthopaedic surgery referral service

  • Nurse clinics, including blood pressure checks

People

  • Kaitlyn and Jazmin are named in one recent review as being “professional and caring” during an unexpected visit, where the owner felt their cat was “in safe hands” and that they were acknowledged during a very emotional situation.
  • Across multiple reviews, owners say the experience can be “hit and miss” depending on which receptionist or vet you see; more than one review points to a receptionist being a repeated issue for “manners and professionalism.”

Reviews

Google rating: 4.0 stars from 176 reviews.

  • Inconsistent front-desk/service experience: several reviews describe rude interactions, poor manners, or lack of professionalism, and one describes arriving for a scheduled appointment and being asked to rearrange because “there wasn’t even a vet in the practice.”
  • Cleanliness concerns: multiple low-rated reviews describe the practice as “dirty” or “disgusting” inside, including comments about strong dog smell on entry.
  • Handling of emotional situations and billing: one review about euthanasia describes being asked to pay in the room while grieving, followed by a later call to collect an additional £42 due to an undercharge; the reviewer found the timing insensitive.
  • Positive clinical and handling experiences also appear: reviews mention patient, calm handling of a nervous dog, and a dog recovering well after treatment for a tooth infection and having 13 teeth removed, alongside ongoing routine care (injections, anal gland work, health checks).
