All vets love animals. No matter where you go the vets and vet nurses love animals and give great…read moreservice. Having grown up with a variety of pets, my family have trialled a number of local veterinary services over the years, and in the last few years we have settled on the St Lukes Vet Clinic. Not only are they great with your treasured pet while it is there, St Lukes Vets also provide brilliant follow up service. When my cats went to this vet to get fixed, they rang the next day to make sure both the kittens were doing okay, and a few months later we got follow up letters that were actually addressed to the kittens. It was too cute! Like most vets, the staff at this veterinary clinic are also very caring and trustworthy. You really feel like your pets are receiving the best care at St Lukes Veterinary Clinic. Though not necessarily the easiest place to get in and out of on a busy day due to being located right by the Westfield shopping mall, it's still definitely worth persevering with! Bonus: St Lukes Vet Clinic is open six days a week, so don't panic if you can't get there during the week, they're for a while on Saturdays too!

I don't enjoy writing bad reviews. Yes, they are tremendous fun to write and to read, but I…read moregenuinely prefer recognising excellence, propping up good businesses and services, and helping people find these places. Sometimes, though, an organisation brings you so much frustration and anger and grief that they really leave you no choice. St. Luke's Vet could probably not have saved the life of our sweet little 4 year old cat, Popcorn... it was almost certainly incurable lymphoma. We left with a dead cat and nearly $3000 in vet bills. But St. Luke's sure as hell could have made it easier. We gave them the following feedback in person, nearly in tears, when we picked up Popcorn's ashes. We asked if they wanted this in writing, to which they said Yes. After an entire week, they have not responded and clearly don't intend to. Everything in this email is pure fact. Read it and make your own judgment. ‐------------------- St. Luke's Staff and Management, We are crushed to lose Popcorn, our precious cat, and appreciate St. Luke's attempts to help him. We are carrying a lot of grief, but also a lot of anger at a few things that happened over the course of the week he was in your care. When we had to make the hard decision to leave him unmonitored at your facility overnight (as opposed to transferring him to a much more expensive 24-hour hospital), we were told by James that he arrives quite early in the morning (5:30) and we arranged that he would give me a call at 6am while I was on my way to work. That call never came. We were worried sick that our cat had died and we would be notified by your front desk staff when you opened later that morning. We did manage to get through a bit after 8am and were told he was fine. We were then promised an update phone call later that morning, which also didn't happen. We had to call back ourselves. The failure to follow up on promised phone calls occurred other times as well. We were also promised that the vet's notes from Popcorn's first visit would be emailed once the vet had finished entering them. This also never happened. We understand that yours is a busy place, but don't make promises you don't intend on keeping. When we decided to say our last goodbyes to Popcorn, our 12 year old daughter was so overcome with grief and sobbing that she was hyperventilating. Your vet then chose that moment to ask about settling the bill, and if we were planning to bury our cat... and if cremation was our choice, did we want to scatter his ashes or get a wooden box for his remains, and perhaps we wanted the nameplate on the box as well? We would have liked to discuss these options in detail at some later time, but we were so overcome with shock and grief, we just agreed to whatever. This all could have easily been discussed the next day, when our daughter was not present and falling apart. We do appreciate your patience regarding payment (we had some tech issues with Afterpay when we tried to pay the day before), and yes, it was after hours by then, but the horrible timing and overall callousness of that last exchange needlessly made a difficult time so much worse. We aren't sure how to feel better about all this. Discussing these matters and writing this email doesn't really help. However, we wouldn't wish this on any of your future customers and their families, so here it is. Thank you for reading this and passing along the information to all concerned people. ‐------------ St. Luke's, you tend to respond to all online reviews to explain yourselves and offer reassurance. Please do not respond to this. We want this behind us. You had a chance to discuss this with us already. The online community isn't interested in excuses, and there isn't a way to explain any of this away.

Couldn't believe my luck. I had previously this morning walked away from another nearby vet clinic…read morehaving made an 8.20am appointment online stating it was for a vaccine booster for my kitten, showing up at 7.50am, waiting for the clinic to open (it did at 8.10am despite in the booking system displaying appointments from 8am) to be informed the vet would be late...a 40 min wait and the nurse who was at the clinic wasn't able to conduct the procedure so I would have to wait. Stuff that. I don't drive (part blind), had caught the bus. On the return bus ride home, drove past this place so got off the bus, walked in without an appointment, explained what happened and these guys looked after me from the get-go. Vaccinated my kitten, asked all the right questions re: eating and toilet habits, gave great care advice and were highly professional. Unbelieveable. Guaranteed return customer here. Won't name-drop the other vet but will leave feedback on this forum for them.

Sick pets suck, death warrants on very sick pets suck even more, but a friendly helpful and…read moresympathetic vet helps, I appreciate the help from Mr Singh and his team. They all work very hard and long hours. I had to take my beautiful boy (cat) in here today and was pleasantly surprised they didn't even charge me a consult fee, just the painkillers at $15. Eases the purse strings at least. Right next door a SPCA Op Shop has recently opened too.
