I had a great experience at crown st vet. My dog was sick and had to come in a few times & the service was excellent. I felt totally comfortable leaving my dog in Dr Nima’s care. Super friendly nurse too. Would definitely recommend
Friendly and professional staff. Highly recommended.
If you are after a vet in the inner city area - Vets on Crown is the place to go! Nima and his team are just awesome.
Hi have been taking my dog to Vets on Crown for several years now. The service is always excellent and the quality of care by the vets and nurses always meets my expectations.
Amazing Team! They took time to listen to all the questions I had and made sure that my pets are on top of their health while in boarding. They have sent me regular updates on my pets' stay which made me very happy. Highly recommend this vet clinic :)
Just over a month ago, I brought my twelve year old tall whippet, Divo, to Vets on Crown for dentistry work. The receptionist/nurse explained all the procedure options to me in depth. (So much depended on Divo’s dental examination, as certain teeth problems can only be found when a dog is anaesthetised on the table.) The nurse had the medical understanding of a veterinarian, or so it seemed to me from her detailed explanations. She was also very kind and had a winning way with my precious dog, Divo. At every point I felt considered, well informed, listened to, and able to make choices about the dental work needed with new understanding. The veterinarian himself, was brilliant. He did major work and removed several afflicted teeth and based his work on prior blood tests and mouth exploration, using very modern surgery facilities. He was also polite, kind and had an obvious love of animals and a keen dedication to their care. I found the cost quite reasonable and Divo was sent home with appropriate antibiotics and pain meds. I was encouraged to ring or come in anytime, should any problem occur post op. Dr Nima also saw Divo and checked on his progress after a few days, just to make sure of trouble free, post operation healing. I can gladly recommend Vets on Crown to anyone who loves their pet. This is the best vet hospital that I’ve found, and I’ve been to many. In fact, I cannot think of anything that could have been done better during my dog’s procedure. My Divo will now always have Vets on Crown as his medical centre. *. *. *. *. * After many good healthy years, my almost 16 year old tall whippet, Divo, was put to sleep by Dr Cheryl at ‘Vets on Crown’ on Friday morning 24/9/21. Divo suffered a sudden, systemic collapse and I had no option but to carry him to the clinic to seek help about ending his distress. I’d like to emphasize that veterinarian Dr Cheryl made time for me to see her in clinic, swiftly after my initial phone call. She agreed that my beloved whippet needed a merciful and assisted end to life. She treated both Divo and myself with compassion and understanding, and gave me the considerable time that I needed to say goodbye to my wonderful friend in the privacy of a consultation room. Meanwhile Dr Cheryl, at my request, organized all paperwork to take care of both the injection and the processing of Divo’s lifeless body thereafter. This enabled me to have further time with my beloved Divo right after he died. (I was so glad that he was made comfortable and his death was quick and painless.) Early completion of paperwork also ensured that I could leave the clinic swiftly afterwards and withdraw to grieve in the privacy of my own home. At all stages Dr Cheryl and the clinic staff were accommodating, caring and they genuinely felt for me amid my obvious distress. Thankfully, Dr Cheryl saw me through the whole process personally and her words of comforting wisdom were perfectly attuned to helping me through the hardest thing I have ever had to do. Her palpable empathy and her sheer compassion for an aged dog in crisis, informs me that Dr Cheryl is the best of human beings and Vets on Crown is the very best veterinary clinic possible. Simply outstanding.
My pup had been ill for over a year and the previous vets at St Peters could not work out what it was. However moving to Vets on Crown, the immediate attention the staff and the vet gave to my little one was amazing and in a few weeks were able to find a diagnosis which could have left him in a critical condition as he already had AP. He was diagnosed with ME, a rare condition and Dr Nima has been super attentive and great with giving us the right medication and advice. Really glad we came here and would highly recommend them :)
We took pup, Simba to Vet on Crown today for his 2nd Vaccine, and it was our first time at the vet with him. We were a bit anxious, but Dr. Nima was awesome! He was super warm and friendly, which really helped calm our nerves. As newbie pawrents, he walked us through everything we needed to know and patiently answered all our questions. We really felt like Simba was in good hands with Dr. Nima. He's a great vet who clearly cares about his furry patients. Thanks a bunch, Dr. Nima, for taking care of our little guy and making us feel so comfortable. Highly recommend Vet on Crown if you're looking for a caring place for your pets!
We had an emergency with our dog on a Sunday afternoon and this was one of the few places open. The staff were very professional and friendly and they gave Paddy the best attention and they even stayed until passed the closing time. Thanks Vets on Crown!
The team at Vets on Crown are fantastic. Our beautiful pup dog, Milo, has been seen by the team, and attending doggy day care intermittently, at Vets on Crown since he was 10 months old. I think it says it all that he pulls us towards the direction of Vets on Crown if I mention we’re going to day care or sometimes if we simply walk past the practice.
Excellent and affordable grooming services. Tomo is amazing and Sasha Bella loves her. Always a great experience. Thank you, Ray.
We have had a lot of dealings with Vets on Crown since we got our lemon of a cat Max five years ago. From vaccinations and tooth removal through to emergency treatment of bladder blockages (FLUTD).
The standard of care here is excellent, and can speak to that being true across the board, having seen three of the vets in this practice. I would offer a special shoutout to Dr. June who was especially thoughtful, clear and kind.
One recent and major incident involved us negotiating care with June and the Vets on Crown team via a cat sitter, as we were camping on the Nullarbor with limited phone service... Intensely stressful and distressing for us to manage, but we were treated with patience and honesty at all points. They made real efforts to keep us updated and across the costs (uninsured), and their support and attention on follow-up well exceeded my expectations.
We've moved out of area now, but will continue keep these guys as our vet of choice - and recommend them highly to others.

Frequently asked questions
About 1km south down Crown Street — 12 minutes on foot from Taylor Square, or 4 minutes by car.
Yes. Flag it when you book so reception can allocate a longer slot and a quiet consult room. The cat-only zone has calming pheromones, and we work slowly enough that the pet isn't being pinned down to get through the appointment. If handling is making things worse, we stop and talk through options rather than push through.
Yes, during business hours (Mon–Fri 7:30am–8pm, Sat/Sun 10am–4pm). Call (02) 9133 1300 first if you can, so we can triage before you arrive.
If you ask for a specific vet at booking, yes. Dr Nima has been consulting here since he founded the clinic in 2017, and most of our vets have been on the team for years. Even if your regular vet isn't in that day, the whole team works out of one physical clinic and shares notes on every patient — so whoever you see will know your pet's history.
Yes. Geriatric medicine is a substantial part of day-to-day work here. We handle ongoing monitoring, pain management, and quality-of-life conversations. If home euthanasia is the right option, we can refer to a colleague who provides this in the Darlinghurst area.
Vets on Crown is not a 24/7 hospital. From Darlinghurst, the closest overnight options are SASH Alexandria (~10 minutes by car) and the Sydney University Veterinary Teaching Hospital in Camperdown (~12 minutes by car). Save both numbers before you need them.
