Vets on Crown, Your Vet near Paddington
Vet clinic 1.5km from Five Ways via Oxford Street. Built for active dogs and considered pet owners.
A Full Service clinic you can count on.
If you're running your dog in Centennial Park four times a week, or you've adopted a rescue with an incomplete history, or you've just been told your cat needs a $2,400 procedure and something about the recommendation didn't sit right — those are the reasons Paddington clients end up at Vets on Crown. The clinic is 1.5km west of Five Ways, reachable via Oxford Street and Crown Street. Dr Nima founded it in 2017. Most appointments run 20 to 30 minutes, and second opinions are a normal part of the week here, not an awkward one.

Our reviews
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.
Dr Nima and his entire team are fantastic, thorough and caring. So grateful to have found such a wonderful Vet practice for my two pups.
Great staff and vet, have magic ingredient of compassion for dog and owner. Also assist in giving fair go with financial cost. Helped myself and dog immensely. Cheers Dr Rhami does his best for me and Choo Choo who is 12 and is going great thanks to all staff at crown st vets who help me as well as my pet,
The staff at Vets on Crown - receptionists, vets, nurses and groomers - are friendly, caring and professional and our Molly loves being there!
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.
Great STAFF WOULD NOT HESITATE TO TAKE YOUR THERE. WILL BE WELL LOOKED AFTER
Phone conversation with Lisa, Very helpful information. We have made our fist appointment due in a few weeks For our new puppy Gigi 😊
Sad time for me, but they were great & professional & friendly
Very helpful staff members there, not only did they give a great service with all the jabs with the least amount of stress, they also looked after him when I needed the toilet whilst walking my pup. They did a quick visual exam to make sure he is healthy and let me use their toilet XD great treatments and great staff.
The vets are excellent, my dogs have always received excellent treatment from Dr Nima and Dr Michael. The nurses including Lisa, and all staff are very friendly and provide excellent care. Highly recommend their services.
Really good team and surprisingly cheap compare to other veterinary clinics I have visited in the past. They took good care of my pets and gave me many treatments options that other clinics didn’t. Would recommend.
I recently used Vets on Crown through looking after a friend’s dog who was a patient there. I was very impressed by, and grateful for, both the compassion and professionalism shown by the vets (Luke, Marnie and Madeleine) and all of the staff in what ultimately was a sad outcome. If I lived closer I would definitely take my own dog there.
Getting Here from Redfern
- Walking: ~25–30 minutes from Five Ways via Oxford Street. Pleasant walk with a well-behaved dog, less so with a pet in a carrier.
- Bus: the 333 and 440 routes run along Oxford Street — get off at Taylor Square, then a 12-minute walk south down Crown Street.
- Driving: ~5–7 minutes depending on Oxford Street traffic. Metered street parking near 537 Crown St.
- Light rail: not a direct option from most of Paddington — bus or car is faster.
Tailored for Paddington pets
For Paddington households with two or more pets, combined-appointment slots are bookable. Two dogs in one visit, or the dog and the cat together if the cat tolerates it. Reception can allocate the right slot if you mention it at booking.
Frequently asked questions
About 1.5km west of Five Ways via Oxford Street and Crown Street — 5 to 7 minutes driving, 12 minutes from Taylor Square on the 333 or 440 bus, or a 25–30 minute walk.
Yes. Bring the referral letter and any imaging files — X-rays, ultrasound, blood results. The consult will walk through what the previous vet found, whether the recommendation stands up, and what the alternatives are if it doesn't. Flag at booking that it's a second opinion so reception allocates extra time.
Yes. Cruciate ligament issues, iliopsoas strains, pad injuries and early arthritis are a regular part of the caseload here. X-ray and ultrasound are available onsite. For cases that need orthopaedic surgery, we refer to a specialist surgeon.
No. Prescription diets are recommended when a condition calls for them, not by default. Same for joint supplements and behavioural products. You'll get a written estimate before any procedure and a call if costs change mid-treatment.
Yes. Flag it at booking so reception can allocate a longer slot. First visits for anxious or traumatised dogs are often meet-and-greets with no handling — treats on the floor, no examination if the dog isn't ready. The goal is the second visit being easier than the first.
Vets on Crown is not a 24/7 hospital. From Paddington, the closest overnight options are SASH Alexandria (~8 minutes by car) and the Animal Referral Hospital in Homebush (~20 minutes by car). Save both numbers before you need them.
