I've been with this practice, for many years, the staff are excellent in looking after cavies, and I can't find fault with them, reasonably priced too. Patch has been in the wars, and his teeth are the latest problem to emerge, so he gets booked in for Xrays etc.
Ms Maharaj is Patch's primary Vet, she is brilliant and puts you at ease, answers any questions, she knows about this website and she very cavy savvy. Patch will also see Mr Connachie (The Boss) and Bill who is a large animal Vet, who amputated Patch's infected leg last year and has a wee soft spot for my wee boy too.

Personal experience: I used this veterinary practice and my guinea pigs case was quickly refered to Dr. Lawrie who is the "small animal specialist" at the practice. While Health and Safety in the UK and a need for a crisp picture does not allow them to perform X-rays under sedation they seem careful with anasthetic on extremely sick guinea pigs.
The surgery performed the following tests on my guinea pig: X-ray (Dental and full body), bloodwork and an endoscope.
The surgery admitted my pig for intensive care and carried out the following: Tooth rasping, anasthetic (the gas stuff), SubQ's (3x daily) vitamin suppliments, gut mobility drugs, antibiotic (NOT Baytril) pain medication and force feeding.
On a client-Vet relationship side, the staff seem friendly and the vets seem to listen to every symptom described. They are willing to investigate aliments suggested by their clients (I asked that his heart be checked which they did.) and when explaining results they don't rush through phone calls and ensure you, the owner, are happy with what's happening before hanging up.
The cost of 3 days intensive care, including the above mentioned tests was £143 (rounded up.)

Were prepared to investigate suspected heart issue in my five year-old guinea pig - ie they didn't simply write him off. Managed to get xrays without anaesthetic and these confirmed cardiomyopathy. Prescribed as recommended on Guinealynx - Fortekor and Frusemide.
