Dentistry Referrals 

The Dental Referral Service is headed by Dr Cecilia Gorrel and is run from the 
Eastcott Veterinary Hospital in Swindon, Wiltshire. 
We believe that alongside seeing referred cases we can also play an important 
part in assisting and facilitating the development of Veterinary Dentistry in your practice.
We envisage a partnership with referring practices that goes well beyond the normal 
general/referral practice relationship.
