Best Vets in Enfield – Complete Local Guide

Village Vet Palmers Green operates under the Village Vet brand and is mainly discussed by reviewers in the context of cat care. Owners repeatedly mention clear, detailed explanations of diagnoses (particularly from Dr Alison), support around referrals for more complex problems (including cancer care with pre‑op and aftercare done at the practice), and practical help beyond the consult room (one review describes staff efforts to identify a rescued stray cat’s owners). The practice is also noted for having a designated cat-friendly waiting area. One recent review flags a limitation: they do not see tropical parrots.

Medivet 24 Hour Enfield is part of the Medivet group and is set up as a 24-hour hospital for both routine care and urgent cases. The practice advertises advanced diagnostics and surgical capability (including an in-house laboratory, imaging, and an orthopaedic theatre), plus services such as keyhole surgery and endoscopy. It also states it has ISFM cat-friendly clinic status and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Recent reviews describe both strong experiences (owners mentioning being kept informed during an operation and detailed support around euthanasia) and serious complaints about emergency handling and communication. One review alleges prolonged crating/sedation during an emergency visit and delays/contradictions over test results, while another alleges an attempted sedation and a very high quote for anal gland expression compared with another clinic.

Catcuddles Cat Clinic is a charity-run, cat-only veterinary practice that says it operates on fees (rather than donations) to provide affordable care. The clinic advertises in-house imaging (ultrasound and digital X‑ray) alongside routine preventative work, and it also lists surgical procedures such as lump removals and “life‑changing operations.” From the latest reviews available to us, owners describe bringing cats in for check-ups, neutering and microchipping, and one person mentions their limping cat was seen quickly. Reviews are mixed overall, with two 1‑star reviews making serious allegations about welfare, licensing/qualifications, and being pushed into unnecessary treatments—claims that directly conflict with multiple 5‑star accounts of patient, helpful clinicians.

Village Vet Winchmore Hill is part of the wider Village Vet group of practices. The clinic is listed as a veterinary nurse training facility, and its website also mentions a “Pet Health for Life Plus” plan that includes unlimited consultations. From the latest reviews, experiences are mixed: some owners describe clear explanations during appointments and help with insurance-claim administration, while others report problems such as appointments being cancelled without notice, being unable to stay with their pet in the consult room, and feeling the clinic was too quick to recommend sedation and further investigation. Concrete points mentioned by owners include: - Insurance claims admin support from staff (praised by a long-term client). - A complaint about being charged £80 for a consultation where the owner says their cat was not examined. - A complaint about a recommendation to sedate a dog for further investigation, quoted at £1000. - A report that a receptionist would not accept a stool sample for lab testing without a full examination.

Medivet Southgate – Happy Pet Veterinary Surgery is part of the Medivet corporate group and is also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility. The website states a nationwide overnight emergency consultation fee of £130 (for consultations between 7pm and 9am). Recent reviews most often describe friendly, welcoming front-desk interactions and clear explanations from vets, but there is also a detailed negative account describing a rushed kitten first visit, poor guidance on parasite prevention and microchip registration, and unexpected charges. Concrete details owners mention include: - Being seen ahead of the appointment time (15 minutes early mentioned). - Vets explaining treatment options (raised by a long-term client). - Handling kittens in a way that kept them “stress free” during check-ups (two kittens seen together). - A conflicting report about a “first appointment free” expectation versus being charged over £50 for deworming/tick prevention.

Rosemary Avenue Veterinary Clinic is a veterinary practice that offers emergency veterinary services and is a veterinary nurse training facility. Reviews suggest it handles routine and surgical care (for example cat spaying, post‑op checks, and management of issues like eye infections), with some owners describing thoughtful aftercare such as monitoring pets after surgery before discharge and providing a post‑surgery suit. Owner experiences are mixed: several reviews highlight vets who are notably gentle with cats and explain options clearly, while a couple of recent reviews describe problems around front‑desk interactions, delays in being called back, and being asked to settle balances before being seen.

Medivet Enfield Great Cambridge Road is part of the Medivet group (a wider network of practices). From the information available, it appears set up for routine preventive care and common problems seen in first-opinion practice: owners specifically mention annual vaccination boosters with health checks, flea/worm prescriptions, and treatment for grass seeds in a paw and face. The practice is also listed as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility. In the latest reviews, multiple owners describe being seen on time with minimal waiting, and vets handling cats gently to keep stress low during vaccines and checks. One recent review raises a cost concern (a short consultation plus a two‑week medication supply totalling £120, with the medication nearly £70), contrasting with other reviews that focus mainly on staff manner and care.
