Medivet Patrington / Cygnet Veterinary Centre

Medivet Patrington / Cygnet Veterinary Centre is part of the Medivet group. The clinic appears geared toward ongoing, long-term care for cats and dogs, with multiple reviewers describing years of continuity with the same vet (Paul) and routine follow-ups/health checks alongside injury appointments. Owners repeatedly mention detailed explanations and being given options rather than a single fixed plan, plus a calm, low-pressure handling style for nervous pets (including a rescue cat seen for a 6‑month check). One recent review also describes being given an appointment quickly for a dew claw injury.
