Medivet Bedford Clapham

In recent reviews, owners repeatedly mention thorough, unhurried appointments (including time for lots of questions), calming handling of nervous pets (for example, using treats during the exam), and fast action when something urgent happens (one cat’s badly damaged tail was operated on by Dr Baldwin, with the team “swing[ing] into action” to care for him). A monthly plan is also mentioned by a reviewer, though no price details are provided.
