Coastway Veterinary Group’s Lewes clinic is part of the Coastway Veterinary Group and is led by clinical director Paul Lawrence. Based on the website, it’s set up for routine care (such as booster vaccinations) alongside in-house dental and surgical work, supported by an operating theatre plus diagnostic and laboratory equipment. Reviews repeatedly mention clear, straight-talking explanations (often named around vet Karen Scott), long-term management of “multiple and complex issues” across several dogs, and thoughtful end-of-life support—including being talked through euthanasia, being encouraged to take a pet home for 24 hours to say goodbye, and receiving a personal condolence card afterwards. A recent review also notes a preference for not leaving “inexperienced vets taking alone consultations.”

Happy with the level of expertise of the vets, I have been in many trough my life in other countries as well, and I felt that they are concern in not leaving an inexperienced vets taking alone consultations.

I’m very happy with Coastway in Lewes. All the vets and nurses have a great relationship with their patients and I have received good advice e.g. when my cat was being bullied. Vets are expensive but on various occasions Coastway staff have suggested ways of saving money. The appointments tend to be in the afternoon and it’s sometimes very difficult to exit the car park due to parked cars - not their fault I know.

All the employees at Coastway vets in Lewes are amazing especially Karen the vet. She is so caring but not only towards your pets but also the owners. She is down to earth, friendly and tells you exactly how it is with empathy and care. Karen goes above and beyond to help her patients. I live in Eastbourne but travel to Lewes because of Karen. I’ve never known such a great vet who has compassion and empathy for not only her patients but the owners also. I cannot recommend Karen and Coastway Vets highly enough. I wouldn’t go anywhere else they are fantastic.

Always a pleasure meeting any of the staff here in Lewes. They are a warm team, with honest interest in the well being of all pets and their owners. Extremely knowledgeable and prompt in offering advice, treatment and support in any situation. They helped us with 3 consecutive dogs, over the last 10 years, with multiple and complex issues and they've always been wonderful. Thank you so so much 💗 🤗

Just the most loveliest vets in Lewes, I have worked in boarding kennels so have dealt with most in area over the years plus with my own previous pets but Coast Way just fantastic. Karen Scott is an amazing Vet, she is so down to Earth, Professional, Caring, compassionate…. Explains everything so well and as it is. Took on my French Bull dog ‘Dolly’ 3 years ago and have always dealt with Karen, it’s like going to see an old friend and as if she only saw Dolly a day ago and knows her well. Nothing is rushed and treats your pet like they were her own. The practice is crisp and clean and the receptionists will do anything for you with a cheery smile. Thank you Coast Way and Thank you Karen. Highly recommend (and do), Jo

I am a blithering fool, and constantly adopt dogs for life. Dogs that don’t qualify for insurance. Yes, I’m reckless. Currently have 4. This clinic does not just defy the corporate feel, they are exemplary in making you feel like family. They go above and beyond every single time, and do everything they can to make it affordable. Karen, Jeremy, I want to say his name, but I cannot recall it (he is Greek) and Rex’s (dog) saviour, the receptionists….are all life savers, and they are so passionate about their work. Best vets I’ve ever dealt with. Cannot sing their praises enough.

We have recently had to have our beloved 17 year old cat George put to sleep and are heartbroken. Our vet Karen talked us through the whole process and explained everything with compassion, even suggesting that we take him home for 24hrs to say a proper goodbye. George knew Karen well and was always pleased to see her, as he had been treated through several serious illnesses by her in the past. I cannot express strongly enough the high regard in which Karen is held by our family. We received a beautifully worded and personal to George card in the days after his loss.
