Richard Smith (Bilbrook) Limited presents itself as an independent, owner-led veterinary practice (Richard Smith is listed on the practice website as “Veterinary Surgeon and Practice Owner”). The website focuses on introducing the team (veterinary surgeons, veterinary nurses, receptionist, and practice manager) rather than detailing facilities or specific treatments.

From the latest reviews, owners most often describe long-term use of the practice (“for years” and “with all my pets”) and a strong preference for the continuity of seeing Richard and the same team. Several reviewers explicitly contrast it with corporate-feeling care, saying they don’t feel it’s “just for the money.” One recent review conflicts with these positives, describing a poor front-desk experience during a pet’s unexpected death, specifically a perceived lack of empathy from a receptionist.

Wombourne Veterinary Centre appears to operate under the Island Vet branding (the clinic website is on the islandvet.co.uk domain, and a recent review refers to “island vets”). It’s listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.

From the latest reviews available, experiences are mixed: several short reviews describe staff as “helpful”, “experienced”, and “lovely”, while one detailed account alleges a serious consultation issue involving a dog with a known heart condition where the vet reportedly focused on the heart problem, did not examine an injured leg, and no pain relief was provided. That same review also alleges being advised the dog might not make it through the night, followed by a different practice diagnosing a sprain and dislocated kneecap.

The Veterinary Clinic, Erdington provides general veterinary care backed by on-site diagnostic and treatment facilities such as an in-house laboratory, digital radiography, ultrasonography, ultrasonic dentistry, and full hospitalisation facilities. It also offers a Pet Health Club and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, with emergency veterinary services noted in the clinic data (no specific out-of-hours arrangements are described in the sources provided).

Recent reviews include practical details that may matter day-to-day: one owner describes wheelchair accessibility (including a slight incline from the car park and tight consult rooms that can be rearranged), while other owners raise concerns about cost transparency (one bill of £457 with “no discussion of costs throughout the visit”) and communication around diagnosis (one reviewer says they had to ring twice to speak to the vet for the diagnosis). End-of-life care is also specifically mentioned: one owner says the clinic handled their dog’s passing well, including arranging cremation and returning ashes.
