Vets in Norfolk | England Veterinary Directory

Medivet Thorpe St Andrew is part of the Medivet group and is led (per its website) by veterinary surgeon Gerhard Retief. It appears set up for routine and preventative care alongside in-practice diagnostics and common procedures: the website lists 15‑minute consultations, in-house lab work, X‑rays and ultrasound, plus dentistry and neutering. Recent reviews repeatedly mention clear explanations (including “briefing and de-briefing” around an operation), not feeling rushed during consultations, and pets being handled calmly (including a nervous Chihuahua and a kitten staying settled during the exam). One reviewer also describes being fit in the same day for an elderly cat despite not being registered.

Vets 1 Group runs a multi-site veterinary service (a hospital plus a separate practice) and advertises 24/7 emergency availability. The clinic presents itself as well equipped for diagnostics and procedures, with imaging, orthopaedics and dental care listed on its site, including a bespoke dental theatre with X‑ray and “state of the art technology.” Reviews repeatedly mention being seen at short notice for urgent issues (including on a Sunday), clear explanations from vets, and at least one detailed second-opinion case where a dog initially thought to have multiple severe conditions was instead treated with surgery to remove an appendix.

London Road Veterinary Centre is an RCVS Accredited Small Animal Practice and also a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic promotes its Pet Health Club® / Pet Health Club® Plus (with consultations included, per the website) and highlights an initiative aimed at reducing stress around vet visits. From the latest reviews, owners most often describe: - Clear explanations and time taken in consults, including walking owners through treatment decisions. - Support through significant procedures (one owner describes a cat’s leg amputation) and help with insurance paperwork. - Practical routine-care support such as monthly weight check-ins and ongoing parasite-plan style care (flea/tick plans mentioned).

Taverham Veterinary Practice Ltd describes itself as a veterinary hospital with modern facilities and specialist equipment, including a dedicated emergency service and a rehabilitation centre (hydrotherapy/physiotherapy), plus a “luxury cattery.” It’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. From the latest reviews available to us, owners most often mention: - Emergency support that includes phone triage and urgent care for seizures/vomiting/dehydration and medication overdose concerns. - Diagnostics that sometimes involve leaving a pet in for tests before a same-day update and discharge. - A policy that (per one review) requires pets to have been seen within the last 12 months before parasite medication can be supplied. There is also a clear split in experiences: many accounts describe smooth, reassuring care and responsive communication, while one detailed account alleges months of repeated tests without a correct diagnosis and significant cost.

Medivet Catton is part of the Medivet group, and is managed by partner and veterinary surgeon Hanneke Kruger. The practice offers 15‑minute consultations and has on-site diagnostic facilities (including an in-house laboratory, X‑rays and ultrasound), suggesting it’s set up for routine care as well as investigations when pets need tests or imaging. Owners also describe practical, hands-on handling for nervous animals (using treats, extra nurse support, and patience), and good communication during procedures (being kept up to date throughout).
