Medivet Woolwich

Medivet Woolwich is part of the Medivet group (a corporate veterinary chain). The practice is set up for routine consultations and diagnostics on-site, with 15‑minute consult slots, an in‑house lab and X‑ray listed. Reviews repeatedly describe vets taking time to explain options and answer questions, including for nervous dogs, and reception trying to accommodate last‑minute appointments. A few concrete touches owners mention include designated cat and dog seating areas at the entrance to help keep visits calmer, and clear follow-up planning (one owner booked a follow‑up in two weeks).
