Medivet BearstedBearsted Veterinary Surgery

Medivet Bearsted is part of the Medivet group and offers routine veterinary care alongside support for longer-term and more serious ongoing health problems. The practice is listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility, and overnight emergencies are handled through Medivet’s network of 24-hour centres. Recent feedback is largely very positive, with owners often highlighting caring staff, calm handling of pets and a friendly welcome, though there is one clear complaint about prescription administration.

Services

• •Routine and preventive care: Reviews mention appointments for everyday care including vaccinations, with owners describing easy booking, warm welcomes and a pet plan that helped cover “vet jabs” and reduced the cost of prescription pet food.
• •Long-term and ongoing care: Owners describe pets being looked after by the practice over many years, including support through recurring issues and “two major problems” for one dog.
• •Prescriptions and follow-up support: Prescription collection and prescription pet food are both referenced. Most comments about the team are positive, although one review reports delays while waiting for a prescription and says the final prescription was incorrect.
• •Emergency and additional support: Medivet’s overnight emergency arrangement gives access to one of its 24-hour centres. A mobility pain check has been referenced on the Medivet site, and the practice is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Pricing

Published prices suggest the clinic sits below average, based on a partial sample of comparable services. The clearest published figure noted here is the £130 overnight emergency consultation fee for consultations between 7pm and 9am at a Medivet 24-hour centre. Reviews also mention a pet plan that covered vaccinations and gave money off prescription pet food, although no plan price is stated, and one recent reviewer specifically described the practice as a good price compared with other local vets.

People

• •Alex (vet): Praised by name for a calm, reassuring manner that helped stressed cats settle quickly once out of the carrier.
• •Reception team: Frequently described as helpful, efficient and welcoming, with several owners mentioning a warm greeting on arrival and one noting that a missed appointment was rebooked sympathetically and without fuss.
• •Wider vet team: Reviewers describe the vets as friendly, patient, knowledgeable and caring, particularly during difficult moments and over long periods of care.
• •Mixed admin feedback: Alongside the positive comments, one reviewer reports a poor experience involving delays while chasing a prescription and an incorrect prescription being issued.
