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.

Couldn’t recommend enough as they have gone above and beyond for us in their services. The Vets are fantastic, but the vet nurses are who really make the team with their warm welcomes and friendly service. My dog is a rescue from an abusive background and hates visiting the vets with a passion. They always accommodated her despite her defensiveness and were always understanding, helpful and highly professional.
Great service, no extra charges, solved the problem of my Alfie’s allergies with the shots. Very nice and honest staff :)
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!
They look after my cat SO well!
I recently had an online consultation to get Dr. Nima's expert opinion regarding the eye condition of my furry son. I can confidently say that he was incredibly thorough and patient, carefully reviewing every aspect of the situation. He fully explained the diagnosis and treatment options to me in a comprehensive manner. Thanks to his consultation and the valuable second opinion he provided, I was able to confidently and timely proceed with the necessary treatment for my pet's eye. My sincere thanks to Dr. Nima for his excellent care and expertise.
lovely & casting. helped a friend who's cat was very unwell. The decision was to put Olly boy out of his suffering. Extremely kind towards my friend who couldn't afford the bill. Helped her. big time
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
Great vets
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.
Phone conversation with Lisa, Very helpful information. We have made our fist appointment due in a few weeks For our new puppy Gigi 😊
Great vets to take care of your beloved puppies or kittens. Love the staff and their patience to explain everything to new pet owners
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!
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.
