Medivet Waltham Abbey is part of the Medivet group, led on the website by partner and veterinary surgeon Jessica Fleet. The practice appears set up for routine care (15‑minute consultations, vaccinations, parasite prevention, neutering) alongside in‑house diagnostics (laboratory tests, ECG, ultrasound and X‑rays) and dentistry. Recent reviews repeatedly describe unrushed appointments where vets explain treatments in detail—one owner specifically mentions a head‑to‑tail puppy check, guidance on monitoring weight as the puppy grows, and a detailed run‑through of flea treatment options. Multiple first‑time visitors say they were seen on time, had questions answered, and felt reassured.

Waltham Abbey Vets4Pets is a Vets4Pets practice described on its website as locally owned and run by a practice owner/veterinary surgeon. The clinic lists in-house diagnostic facilities (including a laboratory, digital X‑ray and ultrasound) and a hospital ward/isolation unit, suggesting it’s set up to investigate and manage a range of medical problems rather than only routine consults. Out-of-hours emergency care is stated as being provided via Vets4Pets Romford. From the latest reviews available to us, experiences are mixed: some owners describe clear explanations and practical handling advice (including recommending calming medication before visits for a nervous cat), while others report feeling rushed in appointments, long waits, and problems with follow-up—particularly around receiving blood test results.

Galley Hill Equine Surgery is a horse-only veterinary practice that offers 24-hour emergency care, 7 days a week, and is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. Based on the available information, the practice appears set up for ambulatory equine work (vets attending horses at their yard), with reviews describing booster vaccination visits, lameness investigations using nerve blocks, and Sunday emergency call-outs. Review experiences are mixed: several owners describe fast emergency attendance (within an hour) and detailed, time-intensive examinations, while one reviewer reports a serious concern about blocking the wrong leg and incorrect record-keeping, and felt finances were prioritised over welfare.
