GoldCoastReferralForm080210.pdfWelcome to Veterinary Specialist Services—Gold Coast

Veterinary Specialist Services on the Gold Coast was established in 2009 in order to further provide the best referral service to our patients, clients and referring veterinarians within this region. Although only recently launched on the Gold Coast, Veterinary Specialist Services has been long established in Brisbane since 2000. Veterinary Specialist Services is an extension of general veterinary practices all over Australia, particularly Queensland, Northern Territory and Northern New South Wales in providing the best possible care for your pets at a specialist level. When your pet requires our expert attention, your primary veterinarian can refer the pet to either our Gold Coast or Brisbane Services via a simple referral process.

Veterinary Specialist Services (Gold Coast) is open for consultations from 8am – 5 pm Monday to Friday. Emergencies referrals on Saturdays can be seen at our Brisbane Hospital by appointment only. Our wonderful reception team is here to assist from 8 am to 6 pm (Monday to Friday). Outside of these times, our phones are diverted to Animal Emergency Services (a separate company within the same premise) who will be able to update you on the care of your pet.

Veterinary Specialist Services (Gold Coast) has a wonderful team of dedicated internal medicine and surgery veterinarians in conjunction with Eye Care For Animals (Ophthalmology), Animal Physiotherapy and several Veterinary Specialist Consultants in the fields of cardiology, dermatology and dentistry. Our comprehensive scope of specialist fields ensures the depth of knowledge, experience and skills required to provide your pet with the best possible care are always close at hand. With the speed of medical advances and depth of scientific understanding rapidly increasing in both human and animal fields, Veterinary Specialist Services appreciates the inherent importance of continual education for all our team members as well as maintaining close connections with international Specialists and cutting edge research.

Our new facilities have been designed to allow state of the art diagnostic work up and treatment options.

We all know ourselves that it helps to see where your pet is going, so take the time to explore our Gold Coast Practice via our virtual tour.
