I registered with this practise 3 weeks ago, I am absolutely blown away with the service I have received! My dog Bear needed an operation. Antonis explained the whole procedure and told me what to expect after the surgery. I was updated on his progress as soon after the surgery as was possible! The aftercare I have received has been amazing, someone from the practice has called everyday to check on Bear’s progress. I would highly recommend this practice, every staff member I have encountered here has been kind, caring and compassionate. Everything is made clear so there are no nasty surprises with the bill! Thank you all so much!

Antonis and the whole team at Medivet Laindon are the best! I have been going to them for around 15 years and I wouldn't trust anyone else with the care of my pets.

Dated 8th September just brought midnight in to be neutered was greeted by a lovely nurse I believe her name is nicki such a caring person and lovely nature towards midnight and myself, again I cannot praise this vets enough have looked after midnight so well and kept me informed on his recovery also it was so nice of the vet who came in who treated midnight for his vaccinations when I first went to this practice to take the time to stop and say hello and asked how he was doing such a nice gesture you don't get that happen very often I just wish that I could have made a bigger donation to your charity on my card as I don't carry cash with me as I have already said this is an excellent veterinary surgery and I'm so grateful for everything that you have all done for midnight and to such a caring and extremely high standard you have an excellent team and I'm so pleased I chose you for midnight's health care thank you once again My very best wishes to you all on behalf of midnight and myself.
