Stay away!!!!!!
I…read morestrongly advise pet owners to read multiple reviews and do thorough research before bringing their animals to this clinic. Based on my experience, I believe this vet prioritises profit over proper diagnosis and animal care.
I took my dog in for a concerning lump, expecting a thorough examination. To my shock, no physical examination of the wound was performed, the vet did not palpate, clean, or treat the area. The only test done was an X-ray, supposedly to check for possible spread of said "cancer."
I was told, based purely on visual observation, that my dog likely had either Hemangiosarcoma (a type of blood or skin cancer) or a Mast Cell Tumor, both serious and terrifying possibilities. However, cancer in dogs cannot be definitively diagnosed just by looking. A proper diagnosis requires diagnostic testing such as aspiration, biopsy, or cytology, none of which were offered or performed, Before the vet told me this is what my dog had!!!!
Despite the lack of appropriate testing or examination, I was pushed toward expensive next steps, which felt more like a sales pitch than a treatment plan. The approach left me deeply concerned about the clinic's priorities and standards of care.
Due to these concerns, I have reported the incident to the Veterinary Surgeons Board of Queensland & office of fair trading for review, citing neglect of basic veterinary practice and failure to provide a standard level of care.
Please be cautious and seek a second opinion if you have any doubts. Our pets deserve better!!!!!!
They will obviously try hard to defend themselves.
