Medivet Maresfield - The Forest Vet – Vets in Maresfield
Clinic Overview
Medivet Maresfield – The Forest Vet is part of the Medivet group. The practice appears set up for routine small‑animal care plus diagnostics and surgery, with facilities including an in‑house laboratory, ultrasound and X‑rays, separate dog and cat wards, and two surgical suites. On the website, appointments are listed as 15 minutes, and out‑of‑hours care is arranged via a Medivet 24‑hour hospital (with phone assessment free and a stated consult fee if you attend).
From the latest reviews available to us, owners repeatedly mention being fitted in quickly for urgent issues (including being seen “straight away” for a leg incident and getting an appointment a couple of days before Christmas), clear explanations (e.g., a titre test and vaccine decision-making), and a “no pressure” approach to treatments and add‑ons.

All staff are very friendly, seemed knowledgeable and caring, the vet we saw was great with our dogs first heath check. Would highly recommend this vet they also managed to squeeze the appointment in just a couple of days before Christmas which we are very appreciative of.

Attend this morning with my cane corso who usually is not a fan of the vets , but the attending vet was absolutely amazing and my dog was very happy and at ease, After an incident with my dogs leg this morning they fitted him in straight away and gave us lots of advice 🙂

We have just transferred our 1 yr old Sheepadoodle to this vet’s after being left totally disappointed with our previous vet’s. I must say what a breath of fresh air, lots of people on social media absolutely slaughter Medivet Practices, however,,, I am very ‘picky’ with anyone dealing with my Buddy! Ines the vet pictured, has been amazing, perfect advice, listened to what I wanted! No pushy selling products and services! She carried out a titre test a week ago, fully explaining it, and we both agreed he needed a 1 year booster today after getting the results, to give him the best protection. Reasonable prices as well! Based on our experience so far, I highly recommend this Practice and vet 5 stars from us ⭐️

Chosen for proximity. Everybody who works here have always been super helpful and friendly. There is cat parking but it would be good if the areas were more clearly defined to keep dogs and cats separate. However, appointments are managed well so has not been too much of an issue.

Absolutely fantastic surgery… make it easy and pleasant for us humans with great communication, easy appointment booking, lovely clean premises, and a friendly knowledgeable team. The main reason I would highly recommend though is the more important one… the way they treat animals in their care. Our dog Lola has had to visit rather a few times recently due to being a daft rescue who gets herself into scrapes, every time we’ve taken her in she gets huge amounts of attention, affection, and everybody remembers her as an individual. She can be nervous, but every single member of the team know how to approach her and set her at ease. Treatment is swift, relevant, and never pressured or unnecessary. Thank you to all at Medicare.. we’ll no doubt see you again soon 🙄🤣
