Best Vets in Richmond upon Thames – Complete Local Guide

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.

Pet People describes itself as an independent veterinary clinic with advanced, referral-level capability, including keyhole surgery and in-house imaging/CT. Clinic data also lists it as a veterinary nurse training facility and offering emergency veterinary services (24/7 or extended hours).

From the latest reviews, owners most often mention

• •Fast access when something feels urgent (one owner booked an “emergency appointment” and was seen within about 30 minutes after a quick phone answer).
• •Clear, “sensible” advice and good communication, including being kept updated during surgery.
• •Support for anxious/reactive pets, with “fear-free qualified” team members and staff who understand dog behaviour.
• •Follow-up after procedures, including post-op check-ins after a spay.

Medivet Twickenham is part of the Medivet group. The practice offers 15‑minute consultations and a wide range of on-site diagnostics and procedures (including dentistry, endoscopy, CT imaging, MRI scans, X‑rays and ultrasound), plus an orthopaedic theatre and in-house laboratory. In the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention appointments that don’t feel rushed, vets who take time to explain options (including aftercare), and a calm approach with nervous pets. One review also describes detailed help navigating pet insurance and “excellent suturing” after a procedure.

King Street Vets is a veterinary practice that also operates as a veterinary nurse training facility. From recent client accounts, the team seems set up for both routine care and time-sensitive cases: one owner describes being fitted in urgently by rearranging appointments, with the clinic contacting a specialist and keeping their dog comfortable while blood results were awaited. Reviews also mention clear explanations of possible diagnoses/procedures and upfront discussions about likely treatment costs, plus support through difficult outcomes (including a dog that later passed away). A small number of reviews highlight a downside: one client reports an “exceptionally rude” receptionist, despite describing the vet as kind and knowledgeable.

Medivet Teddington is part of the Medivet group and offers routine care plus in-practice diagnostics (in-house lab and X‑rays), with out-of-hours cover via an affiliated Medivet 24‑hour service. Based on its stated services, it’s set up for day-to-day preventive care (vaccinations, parasite treatment, microchipping) as well as procedures such as neutering and dentistry, and it also offers home visits. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations during appointments, phone updates while pets are in for operations, and prompt follow-up checks afterwards.
