About

S.T. Stead Veterinary Surgery is an independent small animal practice on the outskirts of York. Established in 1985 by Tim Stead, the surgery provides a range of clinical services including emergency care, endoscopy, imaging, and palliative support, as well as routine vaccinations and surgical procedures.

The practice has grown steadily from a small team of three and built a local reputation over several decades. It offers a pet health plan and in-house laboratory facilities, operating as a single-site independent surgery rather than part of a corporate group.

    Please read the low star reviews especially if you are on PDSA or don’t have an expensive animal, or litter, he can make money from. Tim despite signing up to do PDSA subsidised fees appears to treat all these cases with disgust. I’ve spoken to countless people with the same experience. I was down as a PDSA patient but intended on saving the charity’s money and paying. He laughed in my face demanding to know where my kitten was from, told me my cat had fleas when he didn’t (confirmed by a different vet) and injected him with something without explaining what it was. He charged me for a load of flea treatment he didn’t need and then said “you can make your “donation” on the way out” and began to just walk out. He was also covered in blood. I said no I am paying in full. He just raised his eyebrows. I don’t know whether it is because I am young or because I am a woman but he treated me and my cat with disgust. We never went back. Why Tim, who doesn’t have a charitable bone in his body, agreed to be the only PDSA vet in York I don’t know, and on asking around it seems he treats his more profitable cases a lot better. His receptionist seemed appalled and I feel so sorry for all the team working with this ‘’man’.

    Ive used this practice for many years and am surprised to see some negative reviews. Tim is a traditional vet. He gets the job done and in my opinion his surgical skills are 2nd to none. My breed is Bulldog and I have found no other who understands the breed issues like Tim. Yes his writing is hard to decipher and he comes to his diagnosis quickly without unnecessary small talk but I trust him and I know he cares for the animals in his care.

    I’ve had nothing but wonderful experiences with this vet! Every member of the team has been incredibly friendly, helpful, and genuinely caring toward both me and my pets. I’ve recommended this place to every pet owner I know because the service is consistently excellent. I was honestly shocked to see some 1-star reviews — if I could give them 10 stars, I absolutely would! Highly recommended.
