Our Veterina – Vets in St. Leonards-On-Sea

Updated January 2026
Independent Clinic

Clinic Overview

Our Veterina describes itself as an independent practice offering tailored medical care, with on-site facilities including a surgical suite, dentistry suite with dental X‑rays, ultrasound, X‑rays, and laboratory diagnostics. For urgent advice outside normal appointments, it partners with Vidivet, a digital service that provides remote veterinary advice at any time.

From the latest reviews available, the clinic appears set up for both routine care and higher-stakes medical/surgical cases, with owners repeatedly mentioning

  • Urgent procedures being prioritised (including a “life‑threatening” emergency operation carried out as soon as possible).
  • Clear, detailed explanations during consultations and de-briefs, rather than feeling rushed.
  • Considerate end-of-life care, including follow-up gestures (one owner mentions receiving a condolence card even though they weren’t registered).

People

  • Dr. Lubos Kustra (Veterinary Surgeon; practice owner): Named in reviews as leading care and taking time to explain treatment in detail. Owners describe him supporting them through euthanasia appointments and difficult decisions (multiple reviews mention “final goodbyes” handled with care and dignity).

  • Kasia: Mentioned positively for involvement in care during an emergency operation and for support more generally.

  • Lottie: Thanked by name alongside the clinical team after a cat’s emergency surgery.

  • Sarah: One reviewer notes that other reviews mention “a bad experience with Sarah,” but in their own case they found her helpful and supportive, particularly during an insurance claim. (This is the only specific detail available about that mixed feedback.)

  • Reception team: Mentioned for helping nervous first-time visitors feel at ease and for being warm and accommodating.

Reviews

Google rating: 4.8 stars from 57 reviews.

  • Emergency and complex cases handled in-practice: owners describe urgent surgery for a blockage from swallowed socks (with ultrasound, blood tests, injections, surgery, and a post-op check), a prioritised life‑threatening operation for a young cat, and treatment started promptly for acute pancreatitis that relieved severe pain within days.
  • High-touch communication: multiple reviews mention in-depth consultations, detailed explanations of treatment, and thorough de-briefs rather than feeling rushed.
  • End-of-life support: several owners describe euthanasia appointments handled sensitively, including respectful treatment of the pet and support for the family; one mentions a condolence card sent afterwards.
  • Aftercare details: examples include going home with medication after surgery and praise for incision/staple neatness and follow-up support.
  • Some mixed feedback referenced about one staff member: a reviewer notes that some others report a bad experience with “Sarah,” while describing their own experience with her as helpful (especially with insurance paperwork).
