About us

Professional and Caring Healthcare

Southcrest Veterinary Centre is independently owned and offers a professional and caring healthcare service for your animals. Our practice is staffed by an experienced and qualified team, who are dedicated to providing both you and your pet with the best care possible set in a friendly and warm environment.

Practice History

The practice at Mount Pleasant was established in the 1960s. Since then it has gradually expanded to its present compliment of five full time vets and one part time vet. It is owned and managed by three partners and friends, Adam Lloyd-Lucas, Lindsey Carruthers and Jessica Bahlmann. Continuing professional development is actively undertaken by all members of our team as we believe in growth through learning and discussion. The practice has become an Approved Training Practice for student veterinary nurses.

Our Specialities

Exotic Animals

A long-term interest in birds and other exotic pets has developed within the practice by Adam Lloyd-Lucas, a member of the British Veterinary Zoological Society (BVZS). Adam enjoys seeing birds, reptiles and small mammals from a wide area, (as well as dogs, cats and rabbits).

Acupuncture

Acupuncture can be an effective form of pain relief, used alone or together with anti-inflammatory drugs. Dr. Jessica Bahlmann offers acupuncture for both cats and dogs with hip and back pain and for chronic arthritis. For more information about acupuncture click here.

Ophthalmology

Dr. Jeremy Wills, an experienced (certificate-holding) veterinary surgeon visits our practice on a regular basis to provide an in-house referral service for patients requiring more specialist eye treatment.
