Featured Clinic Overview
## Summary Medivet Barnes is part of the Medivet group (with shared records across its clinics, as noted by a reviewer who attended another Medivet for a specific eye test and said vets could view treatment history). Based on the available information, the practice supports routine appointments as well as urgent care, and is also a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviewers repeatedly mention practical touches that affect day-to-day visits: staff remembering pets by name, giving treats, and contacting owners when necessary. Experiences described include a first appointment for cat paperwork related to an Australian visa, and support for a dog that is very anxious at vet visits—owners say the team were considerate to keep the dog calmer. ## Services - Emergency veterinary services (stated as 24/7 or extended-hours emergency cover). - Veterinary nurse training facility. - Pet travel/health paperwork mentioned in reviews (a cat’s first appointment related to an Australian visa). - Eye testing mentioned (a reviewer attended another Medivet site specifically for an eye test, with records accessible across the group). - Nutrition and accessories: one reviewer specifically mentions an “excellent range of nutrition and accessories.” ## People - James (vet): named in multiple reviews. Owners describe him as thorough and clear in explanations (talking them through each step of a cat’s appointment), and particularly good with nervous animals (an owner of a hypersensitive dog said the team’s handling helped prevent panicking). - Reception and nursing team: described as warm and welcoming; reviewers mention staff remembering pets’ names, giving treats, and following up/contacting owners when needed. ## Reviews Google rating: 4.9 stars from 202 reviews. “Themes below are drawn from the latest written reviews available to us.” - Calm, confidence-building handling, especially for anxious dogs (one owner said this was the first vet where their dog felt calmer). - Clear explanations and thoroughness in appointments (including step-by-step guidance during a cat’s visa-related visit). - Small-practice feel despite being part of a larger group: pets being “known,” names remembered, treats given, and follow-up contact when necessary. - Mixed signals on cost: one reviewer explicitly calls it “expensive,” while another says it felt more focused on animal welfare than money-making.

All Creatures Veterinary Surgery describes itself as an independent practice, with in-house facilities and 24/7 digital vet support via a partnership with VidiVet.

Specific care mentioned includes dental extractions for an elderly cat, thorough annual check-ups with practical preventative advice, and support through end-of-life euthanasia. A small number of recent reviews raise serious concerns, including a report of a missed diagnosis (eye problem later identified elsewhere as entropion) and allegations of upselling/charging for services without consent; other reviewers, however, describe the clinic as good value compared with corporate chains and cite careful precautions around surgery.
