Very impressed with all aspects of the service / practice. Would definitely recommend. Best practice I've been to. Professional, friendly, nice atmosphere, thorough and treated my pet with the highest respect (he felt at home within minutes lol). Would definitely recommend health plan sign up, great value for money. Thank you to staff at Medivet Thorpe St Andrew.

Thanks for today. Turned out to be superficial wound, my dog was bitten by another on her walk. Called in and they said bring her in straight away. They washed wound and made big fuss of pooch and only charged for the antiseptic wash. Lovely staff from reception, nurses and vets.

This is an excellent practice with fantastic kind, caring and very well trained Staff. As previously stated in my review earlier this year, Gerhard is a very highly experienced and skilled Vet and knows all his regular patients needs and requirements and even their names! You never feel you are just another patient at this practice, you and your animal, in my case, a Dog, feel you are getting the very best in care! This practice is, by far, the best I have ever been to! My dog Dave, actually gets excited when he gets there and loves going! Thank you to everyone at this practice! I would never go anywhere else! Exceptional service, kind, caring and attentive staff, and Gerhard in particular, is a very highly skilled and talented Vet!! In 35 years of owning dogs and living in other areas, this practice is, by far, the best I have been too - I have, and will continue to tell everyone how wonderful they are! Thank you to all but especially to Rachel and Gerhard who took a personal interest in looking after my dog, Dave who had an op this week and also a special thank you to Claire and Natalie on his post op check up. Fabulous service, thank you so much from me and Dave! xx🐾

The admin staff and veterinary nurses are always courteous and very helpful. The phones are answered promptly and calls are returned when promised. Gerhard and the other vets are thorough, patient and take the time to listen carefully. When the problem is unusual they make the effort to use outside resources to aid in making an accurate diagnosis. When things are really bad, they and all the staff are caring and helpful. Vet bills can be expensive, but I've never felt that I have been unfairly charged for what I have received. I don't think there is much more you could ask from your vet. One of my dogs and my cat were seen by Thorpe Veterinary Clinic from 2012, when I moved to Norfolk, until the end of their natural lives. My remaining dog, who started with Thorpe in 2012 at age 1 year will, I hope, continue to be under their care for the rest of her life. That is the highest recommendation I can give.

Have been with Medivet for nearly seven years. I joined after we had moved to the area,my Lhasa was four years old,a lovely little boy.Anyway,he was taken ill.our vets turned themselves inside out trying to save Buddy but to no avail.Turned out it was an incurable lung disease.They did all they could with care and compassion and offered us a shoulder to cry on.Am still with them,have another Lhasa,.Thank you guys and gals,for everything.

We cannot speak highly enough of our vet Gerrard and all the team at Thorpe vets. They have been incredibly helpful and supportive throughout, taking first class care of Lucy and keeping us informed every step of the way. It means a lot to see our fluff baby happy again, without the cone, being able to enjoy life to the full. I thoroughly recommend them to anyone who’s pet is in need of a vet! Thank you! 😸😸😸

Friendly, efficient staff. No ridiculously long wait to get appointment. Wonderful vet, who managed 3 pups with ease and gave fantastic advice. Other long term customers there who had great confidence in the surgery, which is very reassuring.

I really feel my pet got the best care and as vets go it is not expensive. Gerhard was the name of the vet I saw. The nurse will make the insurance claim for you. I have been going to this vets for over 10 years and the quality of care has been consistently high.
