Medivet Garston

Medivet Garston is part of the Medivet group (the site says it joined the Medivet family in 2015 and was previously known as Park Veterinary Surgery). The clinic appears set up mainly for routine, appointment-based care for cats and dogs, with in‑house lab support and access to Medivet’s out‑of‑hours service. In recent reviews, owners repeatedly name specific team members—especially vet Kevin—and describe thorough check‑ups (including careful handling of an elderly cat) and pets becoming more comfortable attending after switching from another practice.
