About Bell, Brown & Bentley
At our practice, you'll enjoy a balanced mix of consulting and surgery, where we handle both routine procedures like neutering, dentistry, and mass removals, as well as non-routine and emergency surgeries when needed.

Our facilities include two consulting rooms, nurse-led clinics, a dispensary, separate cat and dog wards, and lab facilities.
We operate from two branches located in the heart of the East Midlands, both equipped with full operating facilities, including multi-parameters, digital X-ray, ultrasound, and we are currently trialling the new Imagyst microscope from Zoetis. Our team consists of 4 Veterinary Surgeons and 7 Registered Veterinary Nurses, supported by a wonderful group of Student Nurses, VCAs, and Receptionists.
