Hear what our customers think!

" The customer service from Burgess was outstanding. Every phone call was positive and supportive. They stayed in timely contact and were understanding that we had other parameters we had to work around to bring the project together.

The Burgess team that came along to work on the truck from the drivers to the radiographers were all fantastic. It was genuinely one of the best experiences I have had working with a supplier and I would recommend your services without hesitation, thank you for making a challenging time feel easier to navigate." Sept 2025.

- Megan Rawbon - Hospital Director, Hamilton Specialist Referrals

“Working alongside the Burgess Diagnostics team for our mammoth CT scan day at London Zoo was a fantastic experience for us all. Their professionalism, knowledge and friendly approach meant that we were able to work so efficiently and CT scan 25 animals at London Zoo in one day – from our 177kg silverback western lowland gorilla to tiny insect larvae – with a sloth, penguins, turtles and monkey in between!

 

The information gleaned from these scans is crucial – from building knowledge of these species, to informing our own animal care at our two conservation zoos. We would certainly use Burgess Diagnostics again!” October 2025

- Tai Strike, Senior Veterinarian for London and Whipsnade Zoos

"We have been using Burgess's MRI service for the past 6 months since opening our referral neurology service, having weekly visits. We have found the Burgess team to be very prompt, efficient and flexible in workflow, effectively getting through all of the cases even on busy days. 

The scan images are always good quality and it is great having their veterinary radiographer on hand to offer their advice and suggestions on patient positioning, sequences and practicalities - we have even had a go at scanning a rat!"

" I have worked with the Burgess team at various locations over the last 15 years. Their mobile MRI diagnostic units are reliable, and professionally run, and provide an excellent imaging solution – often where nothing else is possible.

I am very happy recently to have been able to bring them to Island Referrals (Island VetCare) on the Isle of Wight, and for the first time veterinary patients with spinal and brain pathology have been able to access the right diagnostics on-island, rather than travelling a long distance to a mainland centre. I am very grateful to them for all their help and patience setting this up. I hope to work with them for many more years to come!"

- Ian Nicholson - BVSc CertSAS DipECVS MRCVS RCVS and ECVS Specialist in Small Animal Surgery

"We consider Burgess Diagnostics a strong ally as they offer us consistent high quality MRI services and expertise. Their professional approach allows for efficient scanning which helps our patient flow throughout the MRI day.

Through Burgess we have access to advanced equipment that is extremely cost-effective which has freed Bridge Referrals from significant upfront costs and maintenance expenses. Overall Burgess has helped Bridge Referrals to provide high-quality care to our patients while being cost-effective and flexible."

- Alison Kennair BVMS CertAVP (GSAS) MRCVS RCVS Advanced Practitioner in Small Animal Surgery, Director, Bridge Referrals, South Tyneside

"Burgess Diagnostics consistently provides a prompt, efficient and helpful mobile CT scanning service. Their staff are always professional and responsive when handling queries, making them a reliable partner for our diagnostic needs. Their streamlined processes and clear communication channels make working with them a smooth experience."

- Julie Potts - Practice Manager, Frame, Swift & Partners

"We reached out to Burgess Diagnostics in a time of need when our on-site CT scanner was out of action. They were very kind and quick to assist with one of their mobile CT scanners so we could maintain the continuity of care for our patients.

From the initial phone call, to subsequent emails, paperwork, and support with running the CT, all the Burgess staff were extremely professional, understanding, and genuinely happy to help. Communication with the Burgess driver, was absolutely outstanding. Overall, 12/10 - brilliant service."

- Radu Neagu DVetMed MsC PhD ILM5 MRCVS - Owner & Veterinary Surgeon

"Regular access to CT and MRI provided by Burgess Diagnostics has been a key means of Roundhouse Referrals expanding the range of services and care we are able to provide our patients. Diagnosing conditions both earlier and non-invasively has been welcomed by vets and owners alike, and is beneficial for a wide range of surgical and non-surgical conditions."
