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
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!
Very compassionate, dedicated staff.Highly trained and devoted. Offer a comprehensive,good quality, professional service at an acceptable cost.
Me and my partner found this adorable cat outside our apartment this morning! We took him to Vets on Crown and they took care of him. I was very very suprised at how caring the staff were towards the cat. I was grateful to the staff for their help. Great job guys! Keep it up!
Friendly staff and wonderful vets who have always taken the very best care of our moody little Frenchie.
I want to commend and personally thank Wendy and Bronween (and the team) for the brilliant work they did yesterday (Sunday). The dedication, care and personal touches will never be forgotten and I will recommend you to all of my friends in the future. The best vet clinic EVER!!! See you again. Damien
Chloe was amazing from the start. Super kind, patient, and genuinely caring. She really took the time to understand TT and explained everything in a way that actually made sense, which instantly put me at ease. I’ve been going to Vets On Crown for years and she definitely stands out. not only for how knowledgeable she is, but for how warm and easy she is to talk to. Thank you so much for your time, Chloe. TT left much calmer (and I’m pretty sure they’ve chosen you as their favourite). You’re a lovely human and it truly shows. Much appreciated.
Very friendly and professional staff. I was confident in my pet's wellbeing in their care
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.
Just lovely, wonderful caring staff. Thank you for making a heartbreaking situation so calm we are so thankful. For those wondering, there is wheelchair access just on the side of the building. Looks deceiving with the steps but access is all good.
If you own a pet and live in the city, this is the best vet to go to. They have helped me and my dog for years now. They also have an in-house groomer. Hands down the best vet this side of the bridge.
Great care. We take our Max there every week for day care. He loves it! And so do we! We recently had to have his teeth cleaned and the whole procedure was handled so well. We were well informed and kept up to date all the way through. Including advice and education on cleaning his teeth at home. Andrew the Vet was exceptionally helpful and great at explaining things . Five stars well deserved.
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!!
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.
