Medivet High Green - Beech House – Vets in Sheffield
Clinic Overview
Medivet High Green – Beech House is part of the Medivet group, although one recent reviewer described it as “independent,” which conflicts with the clinic’s branding and website information. Based on the information available, this practice is set up for routine vet care with access to Medivet’s overnight emergency provision, and it’s also listed as a veterinary nurse training facility.
Owners most often name a vet called Alan and describe long-term continuity of care (multiple reviews mention using him for years/decades). Specific examples from reviews include: same-day attention for a cat with blood in the litter tray with reported improvement within hours; support during a “sad finish” for a poorly cat; and pre-appointment research leading to a suspected diagnosis and referral to a specialist for confirmation (MRI later confirmed a rare brain tumour). One review describes a serious negative experience during a suspected choking emergency, including delays due to account lookup and a later deterioration requiring intubation elsewhere.
Services
- •Overnight emergency care access (via Medivet 24-hour centres): the website states around-the-clock emergency care is available at one of Medivet’s 27 24-hour centres, with an overnight emergency consultation fee applied between 7pm and 9am.
- •General consultations / sick pet assessments: reviewers describe visits for an unwell cat over a couple of weeks, and assessment/treatment of a cat with blood in the litter tray.
- •Urgent presentation described by a reviewer: one owner brought in a dog they believed was choking (their account describes delays before assessment).
- •Referral to a specialist: one reviewer reports Alan helped with referral to a specialist, with subsequent MRI confirming a rare brain tumour.
- •Wildlife intake (as described by a reviewer): one reviewer says the team took in injured wild birds for assessment and rehabilitation.
- •Veterinary nurse training facility: listed in the clinic’s structured data.
Pricing
- •£130 overnight emergency consultation fee (website states this is a nationwide price for consultations between 7pm and 9am).
- •£32 charge reported by one reviewer for a consultation during a suspected choking incident (single review report).
People
- •Alan (vet): repeatedly named across reviews. Examples owners give include doing research before an appointment and proposing a diagnosis that later aligned with specialist findings; treating a cat with blood in the litter tray and seeing rapid improvement; and supporting owners through end-of-life care.
- •Reception team / vet assistant at the desk: several reviews mention helpful, professional, and sympathetic front-desk support, including during urgent worry about a cat and when bringing in injured wild birds. One reviewer describes the opposite—feeling the receptionist was dismissive during an emergency presentation and that registration/account checks delayed care.
Reviews
4.8 stars from 539 reviews. - Long-term trust and continuity with the same vet (Alan): multiple owners mention staying for many years/decades and returning with multiple pets.
- •Case-handling examples owners highlight: end-of-life support for a cat; rapid treatment after blood was found in a litter tray; diagnostic thinking plus specialist referral (with MRI confirming a rare brain tumour).
- •Front-desk experiences are usually praised but not consistently: several describe reception as professional and sympathetic; one describes a distressing delay and lack of compassion during a suspected choking emergency.
- •Urgent-care experience is mixed: one owner reports being seen and helped quickly for a sick cat; another reports delays, a brief assessment, and later emergency escalation elsewhere.

People generally take thier pets to the vets,when there unwell or need a check up. Well after a couple of weeks of visiting with our poorly cat and having to say goodbye to him today 😢. These have been fantastic from start to sad finish. Thank you for your kindness and professional service.

I could not recommend Alan and his reception team any higher than the absolute best. The receptionist was professional helpful and sympathetic. I was looking after my friends cat while she was on holiday and then discovered blood in the litter tray this morning. I was devastated and didn’t know what to do. Alan saw us and treated the cat and she is making amazing progress within a few hours. He has been our family vet for years and has looked after all of our pets. He is truly an animal person and will only do his very best. The two receptionists were lovely and helpful.

I took my dog into this vets as I thought he was choking. Obviously I ran in with him and we were greeted by the receptionist that acted like I was bothering them. They then proceeded to look up my name as we have had our dogs registered with them for a year. They couldn’t find my account with them so the tried to make a new one (whilst my dog was wheezing and he was turning blue in my arms) After 10 minutes I was finally seen, only to have the vet continue to look for my account, when he finally found it another 10 minutes later. He finally looked at him for maybe 2 minutes and told me he just has a sore throat. He charged me £32. About an hour after leaving my dog went floppy and we took him to another vets and he has had to be intubated. The vet at beech house did not care, had no compassion and clearly if we had taken him to the second vets in the first place our dog wouldn’t be this sick. I want a refund and I want people to know that you cannot trust this vet. Vile experience.

The best vets there is! I've been going here over 10years and wouldn't trust anyone else with my pets. Alan genuinely cares about them all. Highly recommend!

I don't have pets registered here so can't comment. But I recently found injured wild birds and these guys were very helpful and supportive, taking them in for assessment and rehabilitation. The vet assistant at the desk was very caring and friendly. Seemed like a lovely vets, i might change mine after today!

Alan at Beech House Veterinary was recommended to me by a close friend who has took their dogs to him for over 25 years and implicitly trusts him. They told me they wouldn’t use another vet as he is 1 in a million - not only as a vet, but as a human being. I now totally agree. I had already taken my dog to 2 different vets and both had misdiagnosed her and I was at my wits end. Alan did research prior to me even attending the appointment (this was above and beyond what any other vet had done) he came up with a possible diagnosis and helped with a referral to a specialist to confirm his suspicions, she has since had an MRI scan and it has been confirmed she has a very rare brain tumour. Alan was correct. From significant experience with vets over the years, I can also say with certainty that Alan is not motivated by money in the slightest. His prices are exceptionally fare, another reason to use his practice. Not only though is Alan an excellent vet, he is a genuine lover of all animals and one of those rare few people you come across that restore your faith in humanity. He has dedicated his life to helping animals both in a professional and personal capacity. If only there was a lot more Alan’s in the world.

Allan loves animals, he dedicates his life to helping all creatures great and small. In the 30 years IV been going to him he never seems to go on holiday or find time for him self. He's one in a billion.
