WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING
“We have been purchasing pre-owned anaesthetic equipment from PSS for years and are extremely happy with the service, communication and quality that they provide. All equipment comes fully serviced and at a great value, and the equipment’s condition is so good you wouldn’t know it was pre-owned!”
Olivia Salazar RVN, Anaesthesia Veterinary Nurse, The University of Edinburgh – The Royal (Dick) School of Veterinary Studies
February 2021
“We are long term customers of previously Surgical Systems and now Photon Surgical Systems. We recently upgraded our diathermy to a Valleylab Force Triad, Laura’s advice at Photon was invaluable, making sure we got the right bits to ensure compatibility with our existing handpieces and even having the engineers make us up a bespoke lead so save us having to buy a new handpiece. Since purchase, the post-sales support has also been fantastic, with Photon jumping in to help out whenever we have had questions with the new equipment. Overall we are very happy customers and will always look at Photon Surgical Systems for equipment purchases in the future.”
Doug Paterson, Director, Apex Vets: small animal independent practice in Scotland – February 2021
“I contacted Laura at Photon Surgical Systems as I was interested in the Draminski iScan 2. The service we received was excellent! Within the week we had a scanner on trial with no hassle whatsoever. The product was great, so we decided to proceed with the purchase and again Laura and the team excelled in arranging delivery for the next day. Would highly recommend.”
Richard Cumming (BVetMed MRCVS) – Director, The Cattle Vet Ltd – February 2021
“Photon Surgical Systems Ltd are a company that we hadn’t worked with before and we have to say how great they have been! They have an extensive range of equipment: from the smaller items like anaesthetic circuits and connectors to Xray units, ultrasound and theatre lighting. They have a great team of staff working for them that enabled us to kit out our newly opened practice in the market town of Nailsworth, all within the specified time-frame. Their knowledge and professionalism were second to none. Special thanks to Carly who worked tirelessly putting up with us constantly changing our minds. Anyone looking to purchase new and pre-owned veterinary equipment should at least get them in for a quote. We look forward to working with them again in the future.”
Dr Michael Hollywood BVetMed CertVOphthal MRCVS (Director), The George Veterinary Hospital
“We first happened upon Surgical Systems 5 years ago before they merged to become Photon Surgical Systems. To us supporting a local company was an added bonus! We have now purchased a range of anaesthetic and monitoring equipment as well as theatre furniture and other bits and pieces. I can’t thank Laura and her team enough for their ongoing advice and support, and also for their really useful demonstrations to get us started with new equipment. Thanks guys, and I’m sure we’ll see you again soon!”
Becky O’Dowd BVSc CertGP (SAM) MRCVS (Director), SPA Vets – Feb-21
‘I have been purchasing quality equipment from Photon Surgical Systems (previously Surgical Systems) for a number of years now and wholeheartedly recommend them to all my colleagues and contacts. I haven’t been able to fault any of the anaesthetic equipment I have bought from them and they will always try to source what you are looking for even if they haven’t got it in stock. That is why they are always my first port of call when sourcing equipment’.
Laura Parker RVN, Anaesthesia Veterinary Nurse – Northwest Veterinary Specialists – Feb-21
“Photon Surgical Systems have been brilliant over the years we have used them. They will go above and beyond to help resolve any issues and provide a great service”
Jonny Lummis, Dick White Referrals – Mar-21
“As a new vet practice, we were keen to find someone we could forge a professional yet easy-going relationship with long-term for our equipment. After weeks of meetings, we were lucky enough to come across Surgical Systems.
From the beginning, David Harvey and his team have been brilliant. They have bent over backwards to accommodate our requirements, and always at very competitive prices. Everyone there is knowledgeable and professional.
If you are in the market for veterinary equipment, whether new or second-hand, it would be a mistake not to contact Surgical Systems before you try elsewhere. We have been very impressed from start to finish, and will continue to use them first-hand in the future.”
Shaun Taylor, Yatton Vets – Aug-17
“The 4Vet Slim is very fast and easy to ‘set up and scan’. The image is nice and can be fine-tuned using very obvious and user-friendly controls. The Doppler function is a very useful modality to have. Battery life is fantastic with a staggeringly short charge time. Our clients are always impressed with the physical table style appearance of the scanner.”

Julie Cayzer from the Independent Vetcare Group (IVC)
” Dear David and Laura, Just to thank you both for all your help in finding a new light source for us. The old stack is now up and running and some practice runs on cadavers have worked well. Hopefully as we build caseload we will be back to you in the future to upgrade!”
Andrew Byrne, Brayvet
“Thank you for a quick reply, I will definitely recommend you for excellent service! Hope to hear about the table if there ‘s something we can do. The table has been really really excellent, coolest ever ? and works well!”
Suvi Heinola
“Autoclaves are essential to the smooth running of the day, we looked for reliability, quality, customer service and affordability. After looking at all possible options we chose Newmed and Surgical Systems as the preferred supplier.”
