Medivet Swanland 24 Hour / Swanbridge Veterinary Hospital – Vets in Hull
Clinic Overview
Medivet Swanland 24 Hour / Swanbridge Veterinary Hospital is part of the Medivet group and is set up for out-of-hours and urgent cases, with owners repeatedly describing being seen after 7pm and getting rapid diagnostics and treatment. Recent reviews give concrete examples of emergency care including inducing vomiting after mince pies, urgent surgery for a urinary blockage, and blood tests with diagnosis and treatment within about half an hour. Owners also mention unhurried consultations for non-emergency concerns (e.g., discussing lumps and teeth) and vets taking time to explain options and involve them in decisions. Pricing comes up as a concern in one recent review about the cost of out-of-hours emergency surgery, even while praising the clinical care and communication.

Dr Kiah Weeks-Lee has taken care of our cats on a few occasions, most recently at the weekend following an injury. The understanding and compassion she showed both our cat and myself as the owner, was simply lovely. Dr Kiah took her time to thoroughly examine the cat, reassuring me and providing clear explanations. We discussed the treatment and Dr Kiah ensured I felt fully involved and was happy with the outcome. We could not have asked for better service and would highly recommend this kind, professional Vet.

Had to make an emergency visit to this vet over Christmas as we were staying nearby with family & our dog ate some mince pies. It was after 7pm but we were very much welcomed and we were all really well looked after. Our dog was taken away to be sick & they even tied her ears back! The staff were all so kind & I would have no hesitation in recommending them if you leave in the Swanland area

I don’t agree at all with how much they charged for out of hour emergency surgery for my cat nonetheless the service was fantastic, the vet was lovely and got my cat into surgery straight away for a urinary blockage and communicated really well with me and he is doing much better. I just think the prices are something else and can’t imagine how many poor animals don’t get treatment because this can’t be afforded by everybody.

Sorry didn’t get the names of the ladies who attended to my cat this evening. After the cat literally pulled the wool over my eyes and put a I am dying act on, me thinking this was her last road trip to get there and she literally was nothing wrong with her! She deserves an Oscar for that performance! Staff were lovely, attentive and didn’t try to pull the wool! Appreciate it very much!

I went to Swanland Medivet for a second opinion on my dogs health. They were thorough, professional and very caring. The vet explained everything that needed to be done in detail that I could understand. The outcome being that I am now putting the care of the Swanland Medivet practice rather than my previous vet.

I was early for my appointment which gave me time to play games and help my dog to settle.. The vet took time to let binny investigate her surroundings.. She explained and reassured me about my dogs lumps and her teeth She took time to answer my questions. She had a good approach towards binny who is not normally so co-operative. Thank you

Just got a new kitten who l have now registered here, there's a lot of good vets out there but my last cat lived 19 year's thanks to the care she got from the Swanbridge practice that's worth five stars in my book
