Vets on Crown is just a street away from Darlinghurst
If you've taken your pet to three different locums in the past six months, or you've had to re-tell their full medical history every time you walk in — that's not normal, even if it's common. Vets on Crown is 1km south down Crown Street, about 12 minutes on foot from Taylor Square. Dr Nima founded the clinic at 537 Crown St in 2017 and still sees patients every day the clinic is open. Most of our Darlinghurst clients see the same vet from their pet's first puppy visit through to their last.

Our reviews
Friendly staff and wonderful vets who have always taken the very best care of our moody little Frenchie.
Vets on Crown is my one-stop-shop for vet care, grooming, doggy day care, and puppy pre-school. The staff are skilled, attentive, and caring and take excellent care of my dog, Nina.
Great service and very friendly staff. Will definitely use again, we had a great experience when we brought our dog in for a check up when he wasn’t acting himself - turned out to be nothing major but the vet and staff helped us feel more comfortable from the moment we brought him in.
Vets on the Crown staff are extremely helpful and professionals. Dr Nima is goddess and most knowledgeable Vet whom just wont waste time but quick to know and identify the source and solution to any issues your pet may have. therefore you just know your loved fury friend is in a good hand with Dr Nima and his team.... I would travel miles if I have to but I wont be taking my fury friends anywhere else as i know that is one place they be taken care of beyond exceptional high level of standards and love from the team working there .
Looked after our beloved feline while we were away. Friendly staff and cat still alive and happy when we got back so all must have gone well.
Love the VoC team! Our older pup Milo literally bounds up the stairs when we go for a check-up, something he's never done with other vets! Plus he gets loads of attention and play time when boarding, love how the team always sends us photos when he's "at camp!"
I love 💕 Vets on Crown . Great atmosphere and super caring and professional team . Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️ …
Been using Dr Nema and Vets on Crown since they opened. Exceptional Vets, Caring Staff, Have treated my Animals with Care and Love. ALLWAYS done everything possible for them and their treatment.
I have a large husky that sheds like crazy and finding a good husky groomer has been difficult. The groomer at Vets on Crown is just amazing and I haven't looked back. She spends almost an entire day getting rid of my dogs old coat and keeps her calm and happy during the entire experience! Highly recommend for husky owners!
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
My dog came in with a fractured tooth and the lovely team here were able to extract it on the same day. Emily was the veterinarian who did my dog’s procedure and during our conversation I had complete trust because of her honesty and genuine care about my dog’s wellbeing. Unlike other vets I’ve been to, she did not try to push unnecessary charges/medication and explained all the costs involved. The lady at reception is lovely and it’s such a bonus when you walk in on your dog being showered with affection from the nurse. The clinic here is very spacious and facilities seemed modern in comparison to others. The price was also very reasonable. This isn’t my usual vet, however I will be switching. Thanks for the wonderful service!
This veterinary clinic is absolutely amazing! The vet Dr Nima is the most beautiful person I have come across when dealing with my Border Collies :) thank you so much!!

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.
