Meet our Partner, James Sabin
I graduated from the University of Queensland in 1998 and spent five years working in mixed dairy practice in Australia. I came to England for what was meant to be two years in 2004, met my wife, and I’m still here! In 2012, I attained membership of the Australian and New Zealand College of Veterinary Scientists by examination in veterinary behaviour. Although the growth of the clinic means I no longer have time to carry out behavioural consultations, I use that knowledge every day — including with my own children. I was awarded a General Practitioner Certificate in Ophthalmology in 2019, followed by a Postgraduate Certificate in Small Animal Ophthalmology in 2020. I take on ophthalmic referrals and perform a range of ophthalmic surgical procedures using our operating microscope. I am also an Official Controls Veterinarian, which allows me to issue animal health and export certificates for pets. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children, as well as getting out on my bike.
Your Vet in Sidcup
Medivet Sidcup is your local vet for the day-to-day, and our branch partner holds further training in ophthalmology. That means eye conditions, from a red eye that's been worrying you to a cloudy eye you've only just noticed, can often be looked at properly here rather than referred on.

I am always happy with the care provided to my dogs from the practice but unfortunately I have never had an appointment and been seen on time. This time we were almost 1/2 an hour past our appointment time. I could understand if there was an emergency situation but from what I could see in the waiting room the animals there were for routine treatments. As nice as the reception team are they also don't communicate any reason for the delay whilst waiting which would help as there is only so much you can do with a puppy who just wants to be out of there.

We recently took our dog to this practice. The vet was very patient, kind and thorough throughout the consultation. They listened carefully to our concerns and took the time to explain everything clearly, which we really appreciated. However, we were very disappointed with what happened during the blood test. Our dog's neck had to be clipped for the blood sample, but when we got home we noticed several areas where the skin had been nicked during clipping (please see the attached photos). We were quite shocked, as we don't understand how this could happen with electric clippers. While the cuts appear to be superficial, they have caused unnecessary discomfort to our dog and left us feeling concerned. We hope the practice will review its clipping technique and equipment to help prevent this from happening to other pets in the future. Overall, the veterinary care itself was excellent, but this aspect of the experience was disappointing.

Easy to get appointment at suitable time. Staff welcoming and friendly. Vet was very good with my anxious pooch and put her at ease. She did a thorough check, gave good advice and listened to my concerns. I would highly recommend this practice.

We’ve just been in for my dogs annual check up and jabs. As usual a very good experience, James and the team do a great job. I recommend them to everyone.

In my opinion there isn’t a better vet in my area, I recommend James and his team to everyone.

I can’t thank Medivet Halfway Street Sidcup enough. I was worried to get my 10 year old chihuahua teeth done but Lachmi, the lovely vet we saw, did a consultation and put me at ease and then removed his teeth a week later. He bounced back so quickly and is much better. The Reception staff and other vets were also great. Thank you so much for looking after Jimmy and me!!
