Rhodes Vets Queens Parade is a long-established veterinary practice (the website says it has been operating for over 65 years) offering 24-hour emergency cover and routine services like microchipping. Reviews commonly describe a busy practice with some flexibility around appointment timing, and include specific examples such as neutering + microchipping for a kitten and a same-visit blood test to guide treatment for an older dog. There is also a starkly negative account involving a rabbit seen for gut-related concerns where the owner felt nothing was done and disputed the fee and handling of the complaint; the clinic’s written response (quoted in the review) says a full exam found no obvious abnormalities at the time and explains why they chose monitoring rather than tests or imaging.
