Coastway Vets, Woodingdean

"Woodingdean receptionist Jan is really knowledgeable and helpful , Kirsty has been a great vet when we can see her . but sadly the availability of the vets is inconsistent and sadly the nature of using a larger veterinary practice the cost of treatment has gone through the roof . After paying for a consultation, lasting barely two minutes, a fee of £45 to get a Librela injection, which cost £70 (plus) for our dog ,they now want to charge for consultation every month when we have the injections Greedy and unprofessional."

"First visit and me and my kitten were very happy! Very professional and loving. Small vets with a lovely atmosphere. Thanks"

"We recently had a terrible experience at Coastway Woodingdean branch where my boxer dog was examined by an older (retired) vet who she had seen previously - this vet was exceptionally rude to me, she shouted at me when I questioned something she had done, she manhandled my dog and squeezed an abscess on her chin very hard to the extent that the abscess was dripping when we came out of the consultation and she told me not to come back. She said I shouldn't be taking my dog to both a holistic and conventional vet (this is my decision, nothing to do with any vet) and she also told me there was nothing we could do about the abscess. Since then I have submitted a formal complaint (about 7 weeks ago) and no one from Coastway has replied to me. Completely negligent treatment - and since then my dog's abscess has healed completely through homeopathic treatment and manuka honey which I decided to apply myself, despite being told it was 'un-healable' by the Coastway vet. We will never use Coastway Vets again."

"Always a friendly welcome from this surgery! Very caring, professional and unhurried. It's a place that I can trust. I can't say that of a previous vet I used to go to. For a vets, the charges are fair, too! I'd highly recommend this practice and have been happy bringing my dog here for years!"
