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.

Always friendly,have our dog a thorough check up before his vaccination, then made a fuss of him. He loves going to them...!!!

A cyst on the foot of my nervous dog was examined and treatment prescribed without fuss.

The vet my dog was scheduled to see was running late and as the staff know my dog gets nervous waiting, I was advised to take her for a walk rather than sit ages in the waiting room. This definitely helped her.

£230 for photo copies of the documents already in my procession, absolutely disgraceful.

I visited your establishment to get a travel doc for my dog, he had a EU passport, but now requires further documentation to travel. The appointment last less than 20 mins and the dog was not checked at all. If you are going to charge £230 for, basically administration (photo copies and official stamps on those photo copies) then surely it would be prudent to let the customer know this is how much it’s going to cost.
I checked the Gov.co website to see how much this appointment should cost and was informed £100-£150. Which in itself is ridiculously high, but for you to charge £230 is abhorrent and exceedingly greedy. Seeing as the government makes no charge for this it seems to be your decision to charge such an extraordinary amount. This is the only conclusion I can come too.
The reception staff are super and helpful, but I cannot see why I would visit your company again.

Friendly and helpful staff. I like that there are never loads of people with their pets in the waiting room. Our dog isn’t particularly dog friendly

Took my little dog Charlie for a nail clip something he’d braver had done before. Naturally he was anxious and scared, the young vet however was kind and encouraging. We managed to get the nails clipped with her help in making him feel safe and secure. Medivet have always welcomed us and we have always felt welcomed. They run a great practice there.

The staff are all so caring. They have looked after my pets for years. I would not go anywhere else as I have complete trust in them.
