Croft Veterinary Centre – Vets in Chesterfield
Clinic Overview
Croft Veterinary Centre describes itself as an independent, family-run practice (established 1992) with on-site diagnostics (including ultrasound, endoscopic imaging, radiography and in-house analysers) and a surgery offering that ranges from routine procedures to orthopaedic work. Recent reviews mention dental extractions (including “lots of teeth out” for a rare condition), care after a road traffic accident, and a case involving neutering with complications that an owner says healed “perfectly” over a month later. Experiences with costs are mixed: one recent reviewer describes fees and prescription charges as excessive, while other reviews focus on communication and care.

I used to have a 5 star review for these but from my most recent visits with my dogs the fees are starting to get ridiculous. The last I went with my dog already diagnosed, needing antibiotics for a recurring ear infection and even with my buying them from an independent pharmacy it still cost just over £100 just for a vet to say, yes Elliot, you were correct, you dog does have an ear infection again. Heres the massive bill for my 30 seconds, and another bill for me to write a prescription so that you dont have to pay £70 for drugs that actually cost £7. Its criminal. They dont care about animals. They care about ripping off the owners. I absolutely will not be bringing my pets here ever again. Ive got no issue with people wanting to make a profit in business, but you still have to at least give your customers some valve for money. Here you get none of that.

Exceptional care from start to finish for Spud who had lots of teeth out due to a rare condition. Olivia and her team who did the procedure were excellent. 2 weeks later he has recovered really quickly and we have a happier dog. Thank you so much.

My beautiful cat Missy was in an RTA and a very kind member of the community brought her here. They were so kind and supportive, took excellent care of my baby in such a traumatic time. I cannot thank and recommend them enough. Truly wonderful and kind team. Both of my cats are now registered here, wouldn’t want them anywhere else.

I phoned this vets up yesterday and spoke to a lovely receptionist asking if they had got any appointments that day as I wanted a second opinion with my dog, the receptionist was very friendly and helpful got me booked in ASAP and got my dogs medical notes from previous vet transferred straight over to them, the care and compassion towards my dog was absolutely outstanding during the difficult time of saying by final goodbyes to my dog the complete process was explained throughout and there was no rush whatsoever from the staff they made sure my dog was comfortable and supported throughout couldn’t recommend them enough all the staff there are so friendly thank you all again for your support just in the process of transferring my other dogs into your care xx

Cannot express my gratitude to all involved at Croft’s vets. My girls needed to be neutered to comply with their certificates of exemption. Some complications arrived and I couldn’t find a solution, high or low no matter how much searching. Got recommended this specific vets on a Facebook forum. From the second I explained the issue they couldn’t have been more accommodating. It’s a fair drive 2 and abit hours but I won’t hesitate making that journey whenever necessary purely because I know my dogs will be treated there asif they’re the vets’ own animals. The Actual surgeon who did these procedures is clearly very very talented at what they do. Receptionists are lovely. Along with all the staff who see you and your pet. Over a month post op now you would never tell they had an operation. Healed perfectly and quite literally saved their lives. For which I will forever be grateful.
