Medivet Waltham Abbey

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.
