The main hospital is supported by two smaller branches in the villages of Bourne End and Marlow. Cherry Tree is a smaller practice in the country village of Lane End offering its own consulting, operating, imaging and day-patient facilities.

You will be fully supported in practice by our Practice Manager, Head Vet and Head Nurse. You will also be supported by our close working relationship with our Area Director and Area Support Manager.
