Gold Coast Vet Surgery

I am always very hesitant seeking medical advice for my fur child Kona, and after 4 years in Australia, it was difficult to find someone I can truly trust. I spent lots of time researching and finally found Gold Coast Vet Surgery. Dr. Laura, although young, made us feel at ease from the beginning and was very knowledgeable, comforting, and guided me to make the best decision myself for Kona. A quality that is rare for any medical professional. I really felt Kona was in good hands going through surgery at the age of 12 and the post-operative checkups are better than those that I received myself going through surgery! I cannot recommend Dr. Laura enough, she is a great and kind vet.

Kevin and his team are an asset to any dedicated pet owner and their dog. They have looked after 5 of our family's dogs over a number of years. As a medical doctor myself, I acknowledge and appreciate Kevin's experienced clinical skills and value highly his level of care and commitment which are outstanding. Excellence in patient care is a high priority for this team of veterinary professionals and I owe them a vote of thanks.

Very caring and thorough. Highly recommend them for your precious fury friends.

I travel across town to this Accredited Vet practice as I am 100 % confident my 4 x furry family members will receive the absolute best possible care when needed. Dr Charlotte, Dr.Kevin & Team are fully focussed on owners/pets needs with an abundance of genuine kindness and knowledge. Their support for wildlife is another plus point. Just had 2 x doggy dental & as expected quick uncomplicated recovery. BEST VET ON COAST

This is by far the best vet I have ever taken my pet to. I’ve moved multiple times and used many vets and this is the only one I have stuck with. I now live 30 minutes away and still go out of my way to see Dr Rory Finch and the team.

It’s 10/10 service every time I go, I don’t find they try and sell you unnecessary items like I have found in the past, and the information I get is always spot on, concise, in laymen’s terms and with the best customer service.

Kudos to the team there and the wonderful reception staff for making Frankies experience and mine amazing, each and every time.

Would not go anywhere else on the Gold Coast now that I’ve found them.

thankyou!

Best customer service, I was so nervous about coming to a new vet after moving houses especially with the coronavirus going around I was so nervous about waiting outside while my dog was inside. But Charlotte was absolutely amazing and every single person at this vet made me feel comfortable leaving millie in their hands! Super happy & will be going to Dr Charlotte forever now

Fantastic service friendly staff Best Vet in the Coast - Dr Kevin and Dr Charlotte are fantastic they really know how to take care of your fur babies and treat them like their own and they have fantastic bed side manners which means you are completely comfortable can’t recommend them highly enough.
Guys thanks for all you do especially the free service you provide for local wildlife I know that’s invaluable xx

We chose to use Gold Coast Vet Surgery (GCVS) for a skin tag our dog had, that had been cut open a little. We have used many other vets on the Gold Coast for our animals depending on where we lived.
We heard great reviews about GCVS and thought, let’s give them a shot (even though we have a vet 5 doors down)
And boy was it a great decision.

Our dog Coco, was seen by Dr Rory, he was helpful and advisable, he didn’t sugar coat or leave anything to chance. All areas of what needed to be done were explained simple enough to get the full picture as to what was involved, what may happen etc. a breath of fresh air!

What was great is I was estimated an expected amount based on some uncertainties, and this was made very clear to me. This helped me gauge coats etc, but on arrival after surgery the bill came short of the estimate given which is what we all want to hear from time to time.

Needless to say, we’ve found our Vet clinic, a clinic where pets are not that, they’re family, and they’re looked after like a family member.

Thanks to all the GCVS team for a wonderful job!

What can I say that others haven't already said? It is simply so reassuring going to this practice knowing over beloved animals will get the best healthcare with kindness and care. Dr.Charlotte was so gentle with my Cooper - a traumatised rescue dog who had teeth removed. His pain relief was excellent and he went home happy with no ongoing stress issues. They will always be our vets !

So compassionate and caring towards our little fur babies. I would never take my Olly anywhere else. The whole team, from reception to doctors are amazing.

The Vets and the nurses are amazing! they are excellent in the services they provide and are genuinely in love with animals. Pretty adept at handling fretting owners as well! Best I have ever experienced.

Absolutely the best care and attention you could wish for in every way. We were so fortunate to find these wonderful people in our time of need.

Cannot fault this vet surgery in any way! I have been to vets in both Sydney and Queensland and this vet is by far the best I have ever been to. Dr Kevin Cruickshank is amazing - he treated my Border Collie with chemotherapy for his Lymphoma cancer for over 12 months when other vets "could not be bothered" to treat him or explain the treatment options to me and only advised me to euthanise him shortly after diagnosis because they did not have the facilities to conduct chemotherapy treatment. Since then, Dr Kevin also has treated the other dogs I have owned over the years (Mini Foxy, Golden Retriever, Belgian Malinois and German Shepherd) and has never put a foot wrong. Dr Kevin is a very capable vet, and always does his best by an animal and their owner. He truly cares about the welfare of animals, and is always trying to further his skillset and knowledge by attending events outside of his work time to further help animals in need. Could not recommend a more lovely, friendly and technically excellent vet surgery!

I highly recommend Gold Coast Vet Surgery. Exceptional vets who care about all animals and their owners. Well done. K

wonderful surgery- friendly and affordable. Have taken my cat in for emergency visits with no appointments. Groom my very long haired cat under sedation. Explain everything and put up with neurotic "mums" :)

As the owner of 3 x very loved dogs & a cat , young and old , vomiting and diarrhoea in the older dog was worrying . Thank you so much for for a same day appointment , genuine , cost effective , practical advice and reassurance that nothing more serious was missed .This practice is "simply the best " ALWAYS ! Cooper says thank you Dr.Rory for your kindness and care -" Im feeling great "

Very friendly and competent staff.
I have brought my staffy there as a puppy and they always took good care of her, even when I worried a bit too much over nothing they were here to help.
I highly recommend them as your family vet.

Our little Bichon Frise has received the very best care from the Vets at Gold Coast Vet Surgery. I know without a doubt that they really care about her health and give me the best advice. They are very easy to talk to and explain everything very clearly. We have been clients for a number of year now and we couldn't be happier with the service we receive.

We have been clients of this vet practice since we arrived on the Gold Coast in 2014 and really appreciate the fantastic care and advice from all the staff. You really do feel like you are part of the family.

very caring family vet. plus all the other locum vets are so friendly and look after my doglet as tho they have known her for years.
Kwacha had major tooth work and they phoned me twice after I took her home,, to find out how she was. Thank you Thank you Rory .

My puppy needed a difficult and complex operation to save her life and Dr Kevin was informative, compassionate and thorough in preparing us both for the procedure. In addition, their price structure was well below other quotes that we got. I could not recommend more strongly The Gold Coast Vet Surgery for all your pet's needs. I wish I had discovered them sooner, but i'm so glad that I found them when it really counted.

We're very grateful to have discovered this veterinary clinic recently. From the very first phone call I was impressed by the level of care and consideration given to ourselves and our little pup who was needing a surgical procedure to save her life. Dr Kevin was so patient and caring and performed the surgery with better than expected results, all the time with consideration for costs and our little pups comfort. Thanks so much to Kevin and all the staff at Gold Coast Veterinary Surgery.

What a wonderful vet we have found in Kevin and his team! Very thorough and informative, on all aspects of dog ownership, not just health, and so caring, with a feeling of total attention, and not being rushed.

Finding a good reliable vet surgery is no longer a problem after finding this surgery.
Dr. Wyborn Lau was so compassionate and thorough when examining my very timid and ill cat.
Will not have to stress out over a good vet any longer.
Excellent service and follow up couldn't have wished for better.

Friendly, very professional clinic. Dr Charlotte is very nice, skilled and understanding person. All staff are open, nice and always helpful. Thank you Charlotte and other staff.

Where do I begin to start. Gold Coast Vet clinic (especially Dr Kevin and Dr Charlotte) have been nothing short of amazing when it comes to my babies (dogs). My pooches have been going to the Gold Coast Vet Clinic for sometime now and I would not go anywhere else. My partner and I work in the Northern Territory but regularly visit the Gold Coast and at times where we live in the NT there can be limited access to vet services and I really want to thank Dr Kevin for always being there to help when it comes to my pooches. If I need advice I will always email Dr Kevin and he gets back to me very quickly. What service! His advice, emails and caring nature mean a lot to me as my dogs are my number 1 priority. I would also like to thank all staff at the Gold Coast Vet Clinic for making sure their patients are happy and well looked after. Keep up the great work!

We recently came across Gold Coast Vet Surgery via great reviews on this website. We have now had multiple visits with our two precious cats and we couldn't recommend them any higher. All of the team from reception to the vets are all caring, friendly and very professional.
Thank you Dr Kevin and Dr Fiona for taking such great care of our babies!

You will be hard pressed to find a more professional, friendly, skilled, and helpful vet anywhere let alone on the Coast.

We've been going there for 5 years - even after moving 30 minutes away, it's more than worth the drive for the level of care and personalized service they offer.

Services are delivered at very reasonable rates and always with the pet's best interest. Staff are open, non judgmental, and always helpful. They've got clients for life with our family.

My dog needed to be desexed. He is 3 and OMG Kevin did the most amazing job. So caring ...
