#3 Vet in Eastbourne, East Sussex
Coast Veterinary Referrals is a referral-focused clinic specialising in orthopaedics for dogs and cats, with procedures and investigations centred on lameness and complex injuries. The website lists treatments including TPLO for cruciate ligament rupture, management of fractures/dislocations, patellar luxation and elbow dysplasia workups, Achilles injury treatment, and non‑surgical lameness investigations; stem cell treatment is also mentioned. Recent reviews frequently describe rapid progression from referral to assessment and surgery (including a case seen and operated on the same day after a weekend phone call), and follow-up visits such as a 6‑week post‑op check. One review strongly conflicts with the otherwise positive accounts, alleging a serious surgical error and poor accountability.
4.9 stars from 48 reviews. - Fast referral-to-treatment timelines, including one report of weekend contact followed by Monday assessment and same-day surgery for a TPLO complication.

Reg ruptured his TPLO on Xmas Eve, a referral was made from my vets on Saturday. Rob phoned me Sunday & Reg was seen on Monday. He was operated on that day. The whole team is beyond excellent & I don’t have the words to tell them how grateful I am.

Wow! How refreshing to go to a vet practice where the whole team are so engaged, helpful, efficient and kind. Our consultation with Rob about our beautiful labrador Poppy was thorough, detailed, thoughtful and sensitive. We got no sense of being rushed or being pushed towards heavy interventionist approaches. From the initial phone call to the consultation itself we felt well looked after by a team who really care and who are experts in their field. Poppy liked them all very much. She did lick Rob quite a lot, but he seemed ok with that! Thank you all so much. We feel like we are in safe hands now.

Rob operated on Molly's ruptured cruciate ligament 7 weeks ago. The change is miraculous and Molly's well into her recovery. Thanks team.

Just wanted to say a huge 'thank you' to Rob and his fabulous team who from the first day I met them for Hallie's initial consultation to 6 weeks later when we returned for her 6 week post op check up, were all amazing. I was so worried about how to get Hallie 'fixed' and how everything would work out, but I was given a full, clear explanation and most of all re-assurance that she would be fixed and soon 'back to normal'. Throughout the whole process everyone was supportive, kind and compassionate and most of all Hallie was always wagging her tail. I would highly recommend Coast Veterinary Referrals with the reassurance that you and your furry friend will be fully looked after should you ever require their services.

Most dogs hate going to the vets but even when this guy had a broken leg and was sedated from pain meds, he would pull all the way there from the car, with his tail wagging, because he couldn’t wait to see them all again. If this doesn’t show how amazing their care and treatment of him was, I’m not sure what does. For such a small town it was a blessing to find a practice as professional and skilled as this one to perform his surgery, where you can truly tell how dedicated they are to their patients. The treatment he received from them is what is allowing him to live the fulfilled life he does now, which we weren’t sure was going to be possible. For that we are incredibly grateful and couldn’t recommend them enough.

Only put 1 star as this was the lowest option…!! Absolutely awful experience my 5 month old puppy went in and was diagnosed with hip dysphasia was rushed into surgery the following week as rob (the vet) stressed we only had a very short time frame to do the surgery due to his age… well this is where the nightmare started the vet cut his pelvis in the wrong place and wasn’t able to do the surgery that he needed so urgently which put this back a minimum of 6 weeks….!! The vet then went off sick with covid the very next day so in my opinion was he even well enough to do this surgery? And is this why this mistake was made?! Then 2 weeks later my poor baby became very agitated and stressed being crated all day and night and still not even to have had the surgery that had been stressed he needed so urgently and was 6 weeks back than when we even first went and got the diagnosis!! which ended up in him having to be put to sleep 💔 leaving a huge whole in our hearts and our family 2 heartbroken little boys who have lost their best friend…. The vet Rob then didn’t take any responsibility for his negligence and just come with A-LOT of excuses when this should never have happened and if he wasn’t well enough to do the surgery then should have rearranged and I feel if that had happened my baby would still be here now full of life…..!! Would not recommend these vets at all and don’t feel like they have the best interest of any animal and we as a family have learnt the hard way….!!
