Vets on Crown, Your Vet near Darlinghurst
A 1km stroll from Darlinghurst. In-house diagnostics for same-day answers. Full pricing transparency on the site.

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
Great vet, so kind and professional. Reasonably priced. I recommend them.
Lovely caring vet and staff Diesel was happy wags all over
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.
Very professional and friendly staff . My pet loved it and had fun time. He gets so excited to stay there and service is very reliable with good quality.
Had an amazing experience here when our family dog had to go in for surgery - had taken her in for boarding a few times and always really happy with the service but the level of care during the surgery was exceptional. Dr Nima really put our minds at ease and took care to explain everything clearly. Cindy is recovering well, thank you!
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.
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!!
The vets are great there. Always get an appointment and they love their animals.
Always give the dogs a thorough examination. Always have peace of mind as Fezzik and Juno are in great hands.
Our shih-tzu, Milo stayed here and they took great care of him. Sent us photos, took him on plenty of walks and he was happy, healthy and CLEAN when we picked him up as they gave him a bath for free as well!
Genuinely cannot say enough great things about this vet. My dog Winnie is 5, has always be a poorly dog and now has diabetes. After moving i now drive to Vets on Crown, as the vet in my new suburb wasn't the same standard. Yes they are not the cheapest (you'll need to go out west for that) but they are far cheaper than others in the area. Having been at the vets A LOT, i have encountered nearly all vets/nurses/receptionists and everyone is always lovely/genuinely accomodating to your needs. When costs got high they always go directly through my insurance (often very last minute), always call with updates, offer me options, never pressure me to get further testing and offer me options around my budget. They are always on the end of the phone, call to check in and i'm 100% confident in the care Winnie has received. They are a busy vet and have always made time to see Winnie (again often last minute). As someone that has unfortunately been at this vets for weeks at a time with a very poorly pup, and spent a fair bit of $$$, i truly advocate for them and their care.
Been using the vet there since my dog was a puppy and have noting but good experiences from puppy school to doggy daycare to the vet

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.
