Kings Road Veterinary Surgery – Vets in Westerham
Clinic Overview
Kings Road Veterinary Surgery is a general veterinary practice (ownership/group not stated) that, based on client reports, handles both day-to-day medical issues and surgical cases—alongside supportive care for difficult, end-of-life situations. The practice also operates as a Veterinary Nurse Training facility.

Outstanding vets practise. Rikus and the team are amazing vets and support staff. My Spaniel had a huge lump growing from the base of her tail that ruptured. Our first vets said there was nothing they could do other than palliative end of life care. I found Rikus. He looked at it and immediately said he could get the lump out and give her comfort and a good few years more of life (she was 13 at the time). Next day, as promised Rikus and his team removed the lump and Lucy lived well into her 15th year. The practise is very much animal first. Amazing.

Sadly we only have one dog under them now. They have been amazing and patient with our dogs struggles. Sadly we had to say goodbye recently, they made a truly difficult situation as good as it possibly could be. Thank you for all you have done for our dogs.

I've recently transferred from another veterinary practice to King's Road Vets and I couldn't be more pleased with the decision. ALL the vets are professional, caring and knowledgeable. ALL staff are kind, friendly and helpful. Communication about any conditions and treatment plan is thorough and unlike the old veterinary practice that I transferred from, Kings Road Vets always leave me feeling confident in their treatment and unlike some Vets, they're charges are fair and reasonable.
