Wonderful, compassionate and professional practice. We had to put our lovely Sandy down on Monday. Dr Jo Sussex was magnificent, she explained the whole end of life procedure, spent time with us and Sandy and showed so much care and empathy at this difficult time it made it comfortable for us. The whole team at Ulysses are kind caring professionals.
