Blue Cross Animal Hospital
King St
Our Score (68/100)
Blue Cross Animal Hospital is part of the Blue Cross organisation (a charity), and is set up for both routine and higher-stakes care: reviews mention a procedure under general anaesthetic and rapid diagnosis/treatment that got a pet home “the next day.” It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility and as offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). Recent feedback is mostly positive about in-clinic communication and kindness, but one very recent review reports an unhelpful, rushed experience when calling the main appointment line. Concrete details owners mention include: - A nurse taking time to explain a general-anaesthetic procedure, invite questions, and go through aftercare at collection. - Supportive handling of an older dog who “wasn’t well,” including kindness to the family. - At least one case where a problem was identified “almost right away” and treated quickly. - A contrasting report of poor phone communication (rushed, not listening) on the main booking line.

Medivet Stoke Newington
Stoke Newington
Our Score (68/100)
Medivet Stoke Newington is part of the Medivet group (a larger chain) and is set up for in-clinic diagnostics and routine-to-complex case work, with equipment listed for imaging and internal tests (X-rays, ultrasound, ECG, endoscopy, and an in-house laboratory). The practice is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners often mention prompt handling of repeat prescriptions and vets who explain findings and avoid unnecessary procedures (including one case where a guinea pig was assessed and not sedated or treated dentally after a more serious plan had been suggested elsewhere). One recent review, however, alleges a misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment for a cat (steroids given for presumed allergies without a flea check), resulting in ongoing symptoms and extra cost—so experiences appear mixed.

Alexandra Park Veterinary Surgery
Muswell Hill
Our Score (68/100)
Alexandra Park Veterinary Surgery is a small-practice clinic where one vet, Mina, is repeatedly named in reviews—often for straightforward advice and an “honesty over profit” approach. Owners mention routine care such as vaccinations and neutering, and some say they were seen quickly when the clinic was busy. Two recent reviews raise concerns in different areas: one alleges an inadequate assessment during a serious illness, and another describes a rude phone interaction and being told the clinic was not taking new registrations. Concrete specifics mentioned by reviewers include: - Vaccinations and neutering carried out here. - “No general appointment fee” reported by one owner across multiple visits. - A case where arthritis medication was prescribed to “try and see if that helped” back-leg issues (with the owner later alleging the pet was gravely ill and not properly examined). - New registrations reportedly not being accepted at the time of one phone enquiry.

Alcombe Veterinary Surgery is an RCVS-accredited practice that operates as part of a multi-branch clinic. The website references a Pet Health Club® Plus plan with consultations included, and states the practice is partnered with three out-of-hours clinics. From the latest reviews, owners most often mention: - Clear, ongoing explanations from the vet (one owner describes the vet staying in touch and explaining “step by step” with options/recommendations). - Repeat care for longer-term conditions, including pancreatitis management for a dog over multiple years. - Routine procedures such as vaccinations and castration being carried out, with one owner specifically describing good care during their kitten’s stay. There are also recurring concerns in a minority of reviews about unexpected costs/consent (e.g., being charged more than expected or treatment given without clear agreement) and customer service/communication, including a report of an urgent appointment being cancelled due to closure without notice.

New Cross PDSA Pet Hospital (part of the PDSA charity) focuses on free and low-cost veterinary care for pets whose owners may struggle with private fees. Based on the information available, it handles routine medical workups (for example, blood tests leading to a hyperthyroidism diagnosis and medication supplied within the same week) as well as more serious care such as surgery and end-of-life support (euthanasia is described in one review). It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews describe both timely access in some situations (same-day appointment for a cat in severe pain; referral onward for further checks and an overnight stay) and, in contrast, serious concerns from others about urgency and communication (post-surgery deterioration not being offered urgent assessment; an emergency line not being answered after being told to call back).

Animal Ark Veterinary Centre
Goodmayes
Our Score (67/100)
Animal Ark Veterinary Centre is accredited under the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS) Practice Standards Scheme and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Clinic data also indicates emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours). From the latest reviews, owners describe a mix of experiences: some report clear explanations and options being discussed (including a dog needing full dental extractions), while others report being pushed toward invasive, expensive procedures with little explanation and say second opinions elsewhere did not support those recommendations. Practical policies also come up—one reviewer states they were turned away for arriving 15 minutes late due to a 5‑minute grace period and 15‑minute consultation slots, while another says they missed an appointment but were still accommodated shortly after. One review claims the practice is owned by Linnaeus (Mars group); this ownership isn’t confirmed by the other information provided here.

Companion Care (Charlton) Ltd trading as Vets4Pets is a locally owned practice run by Sinead Ennis and Fabio Di Popolo. The website positions the clinic for advanced and surgical casework (including orthopaedics, laparoscopy and ophthalmology) supported by facilities like an operating theatre, in‑house lab, digital X‑ray, and separated dog/cat wards plus a separate cat consult room. It’s RCVS accredited, and for out-of-hours emergency care it directs clients to Vets Now Sidcup. From the latest reviews available, decision-relevant themes include strict lateness/appointment policies (multiple reviewers say they were turned away for arriving 10–12 minutes late) and pricing concerns around medications, alongside occasional praise for handling anxious dogs (a reviewer singled out a nurse/tech for this).
