About Veterinary Specialist Services in Brisbane & Gold Coast

Veterinary Specialist Services was established in 2000 as a referral practice for primary care veterinarians throughout Australia. We provide exceptional care for pets at a specialist level. When your pet requires specialist care, your primary care veterinarian will refer you to one of our hospitals in Underwood, Carrara or Jindalee. We are the go-to hospital for emergencies and specialist care throughout the Brisbane, Ipswich, Logan, Gold Coast and Northern New South Wales regions.

Our multi-disciplinary team of specialists in surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, ophthalmology, anaesthesia, oncology and dentistry work together to care for your pet holistically. Our comprehensive scope of specialist knowledge, experience and skills in diverse areas of veterinary medicine ensures your pet will receive the best possible care when they need it most.

With the speed of advances in both human and animal medicine, Veterinary Specialist Services appreciates the importance of continual education for all team members. We maintain close connections with international specialists and cutting-edge research. Our work is regularly published in veterinary journals to add to the body of literature that improves veterinary practice world-wide.
