I am distressed with your conduct in refusing to consider an alternative clinical opinion followed... by your refusal of any further discussion about the ongoing assessment and/or treatment of my dog. Your instruction that I take her to a different veterinary clinic was petulant.Nearly 9 years of patient-vet relationship has been destroyed by your conduct.I am just relieved to have since found an understanding, caring and inclusive veterinary clinic to care for my dog's health and wellbeing.read more

Dr Rachel Lee was caring and took the time to make our first time with our Saint Bernard puppy at... the Toorak Rd Vet Clinic a pleasant and informative one. The receptionist was brilliant, efficient and accommodating, too, which was fabulous as one does not sleep much with a new puppy!!!....read more

A big thank you to Dr Sebastian Willitts and the team!I was in a slight panic when I came home... from work and realized my Pug needed assistance, I called Toorak Road Veterinary Clinic expecting them to say it’s to close to closing time (especially due to been a new patient) but I was wrong, we were welcomed to attended right away.On arrival we were welcomed by lovely staff and a very clean practice.Dr Willitts was very thorough when examining my Pug and took the time to explain to me his findings and answered all my questions giving me reassurance.Thank you guys once again, appreciate it!Will definitely be attending again!read more

I can’t recommend Toorak Road Vet enough. Referred as a sister clinic from our usual vet, Caulfield... Vet, On the most heartbreaking day saying goodbye to our cat they were the most professional, caring and thoughtful place. I’ve never had to say goodbye to a pet before and they listened, explained everything, gave us time, and were considerate in every way imaginable. The hand written note from Dr Sebastian was truly the icing on the cake. Knowing that every detail was cared for is so reassuring and compassionate. Highly recommendedread more

Thank you to Dr Sebastian and the equally as incredible team at Toorak rd Vet. Thank you for your... kindness during everything re my beloved cat- I am truly moved. Dr Sebastian has a warm, personable approach that I found so comforting when other vets spoke to me in a more colder, medical professional way. I would recommend this vet to anyone, and will come back with any future fur family. I cannot thank you enough.Sophie.read more

They have looked after 3 of my pets over the years, and they always offer such kind care of my pets... but also of me as a distressed pet mum, with her sick baby.When one of my cats passed earlier this year, they sent me a nice card with seeds to plant in honour of my cat. They are always very thoughtful and put my cats at ease, my cats are healthier and happier because of them.read more

Having recently moved to the area I googled local Vets. I chose Toorak Road Vets and am so glad I... did. I took my 17 year old cat in for her immunisations and was so pleased with the excellent care given by the lovely Vet, Fiona. She explained everything fully and was wonderful with Lexie, who is a very timid cat. The young ladies in the front office were also friendly and helpful. Thank you so much.read more

Absolutely incredible staff. The clinic has a really nice caring team, almost giving it a little... tight knit family vibe.We had a little scare for our 2 yr old Tabby Bobbie who was spiking a nice fever and having troubles eating. Vet James was so thorough, explained everything and gave me all the information I needed. He did absolutely everything possible to try to diagnose and get Bob back to his normal spunky self. There was so much care provided and made me feel like Bob was the only patient for the day. Which I’m sure is the care James provides to all patients.And of course the nurses, reception and all other staff made him so comfortable during his little day trip. Thank you all, we’ve definitely found our Family Vet clinic. 🐾😸read more

I cannot recommend and thank Toorak Rd vet clinic enough for their geniune, thorough and... professional service. I am a canine behaviour consultant and trainer based in Camberwell and refer all my clients onto Toorak vet after their comprehensive assistance with my Great Dane Kaiser who became extremely violently ill as a young pup. Thankfully Kaiser is now as happy and healthy as ever and has had extremely positive vaccination and consultation appointments since with Dr Sebastion, Dr Diana, Dr Miriam and all the beautiful vet tech’s who liased with us compassionately through his life threatening health scare and provided the upmost care and sincere concern for our little boy and now spoil him with love (and treats) every visit. They have a lifelong client out of us 🐾read more

The caring and professional team at this clinic made the last few weeks of my 16 year old Labrador... comfortable and humane.

Terrific clinic. They look after our two DSH cats. One is very anxious and Sebastian did a... sensational job today of handling her with tremendous patience and care. A few years ago the clinic sensitively helped us manage the rapid deterioration and end of life care of another much loved cat. We really appreciated their kindness. Highly recommend.read more

Able to book an appointment at short notice for the Saturday. Attentive and knowledgeable over the... phone to ascertain the extent of the issue for my puppy. Sebastian was excellent, listened to concerns, thorough work-up and assessment of Lucy's issues. Provided sound advice and a plan based on latest evidence and experience. A follow up call 3 days later was welcomed and I felt they cared for my dog. A strong recommendation from me - dog on the mend and doing well :)read more

Could not speak highly enough of this business. After a fall our nearly 13 year old dog was limping... badly. His regular vet was “too busy”. Other nearby vets were unable to take him. Enter Di and her lovely staff at Toorak Road Vet Clinic. Warm, caring, efficient and thoughtful. They took great care of our dog, and didn’t “over service” with add-ons and extras. Just great service delivered with kindness. They have a new client for liferead more

They provide quality vet care with clear advice and ability to undertake most procedures in house.... I like that they offer to refer onto specialists when they think a better outcome might be achieved.

They were able to sort two long term skin issues out within the first visit. I was pretty impressed.read more

We are so glad we moved to Toorak Rd Veterinary Clinic. After having a falling out with our... previous clinic. At the old clinic the receptionist was rude where our cat had an overly long ongoing issue for months and months and months. We were all super stressed.After 1 week of care at Toorak Rd Vet Clinic we could see our cats symptoms were improving.After 6 weeks of fortnightly care our cat has been cured.And now she is back to her loving, playful, energetic and curious nature.Traveling to our old clinic we had to wait for a three train crossing. Took forever.The Toorak Rd Vet Clinic is much better situated for us.5 min drive outside of rush hour traffic I can get a parking spot just outside the front door.So convenient!The reception staff is always nice and welcoming and know my cat by name before I even speak.I like their rescued office pets. The giant dog, the curious cat and the chirping bird.My vet is friendly and has a confident caring positive professional nature.My family is very happy with Toorak Rd Veterinary Clinic.Thanks to all.read more
