Prime Veterinary Practice – Vets in Chesterfield

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Prime Veterinary Practice is described in reviews as an independently owned small practice. Based on the clinic’s own service list and what owners mention, it appears particularly set up for dog breeding/reproduction work (including progesterone testing) alongside general medical and surgical care. Owners repeatedly describe clear explanations during appointments, efficient visits for testing and documentation, and willingness to reduce costs where possible (one review mentions the vet offering to switch medication to a cheaper but equally effective option). Out-of-hours help is also specifically mentioned, including a Sunday late-night call-out.

Services

  • Reproduction services (website): reviews specifically mention progesterone testing for breeding.
  • Medical and surgical procedures (website): reviews mention blood tests and ear cleaning.
  • Orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery (website): no specific examples named in the latest reviews available to us.
  • Dental work: owners mention dental treatment with extractions.
  • Skin/paw care: one review mentions hyperkeratosis trimmed from pads.
  • End-of-life care: one review describes support during a cat euthanasia appointment.
  • Pet travel documentation (website): reviews mention an Animal Health Certificate; the website also lists Pet Passport and Export certificates.
  • Out-of-hours service (website): one review describes an out-of-hours Sunday 11pm visit.

People

  • Dinu (vet): repeatedly named. Owners describe him as unhurried and clear in communication (e.g., “everything was explained clearly”; “open with advice”), and as supportive during euthanasia alongside a nurse.
  • Joao (vet): named in multiple reviews, particularly by breeders who say the team listens to their judgement.
  • Gianni (vet): named positively (no specific incident described beyond overall trust and breeding-related care).
  • Reception team: repeatedly mentioned as helpful; one owner also notes the practice handled a late-night out-of-hours situation patiently with a family present.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 265 reviews. - Breeding/reproduction work is a frequent reason for visiting, with multiple mentions of progesterone testing and “repro vets”.

  • Clear explanations and efficient appointments, including repeat visits for testing and travel paperwork.
  • Practical cost-conscious decisions, including offering a cheaper medication option that was said to be as effective.
  • Specific procedures owners describe include dental extraction work, blood tests, ear cleaning, and trimming hyperkeratosis on pads.
  • Out-of-hours responsiveness is highlighted in a detailed account of a late-night Sunday call-out.
  • One low-rating review (1 star) is present without any written details, so the reason for dissatisfaction isn’t stated in the review text available to us.
