Clinic Overview

Medivet South Elmsall is part of the Medivet veterinary group and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The clinic appears set up for routine consultations and procedures (including castration and other in-clinic procedures), with access to Medivet’s 24-hour emergency centres for overnight care. Recent reviews frequently describe smooth admin (online booking and appointment reminder texts) and clear clinical next steps (including rapid referral for a CT scan and a next-day diagnosis). One recent reviewer reports being refused help for a cat’s cancerous lump because they couldn’t pay up front, which contrasts with many other reviews praising welfare-focused care.
