Company
Ashbourne is a modern, high quality, first opinion practice, with purpose-built facilities, shared with our farm animal team. We are a busy central hub for the practice, offering hospitalisation. Our clients are an engaged and proactive group and uptake on our recommendations for investigations and workups are well received.
We have four consulting rooms and a large light reception with separate cat and dog waiting areas. The prep area is massive, with lots of natural light and leads to two theatres and an x-ray/ultrasound room; rigid and flexible endoscopy /laparoscopic facilities are also available. A well kitted out lab complements the other diagnostic facilities.
Our central location gives access to the beauty of the Peak District National Park, but within 2 hours you have many large cities so meeting up with friends and family is easy, but let's face it if you are living in the Peak District, they'll want to visit you!
