Extremely bad service and lack of knowledge from the vet. I drove 2 hours to see him as he is the closest avian vet. I will be driving 5 hours from now on to see an avian vet who actually knows how to handle birds, cares about birds and knows what they are talking about. I may as well have gone to my cat and dog vet 5 minutes away for the time I wasted. Read Less

Mike Cannon is more concerned about his ego than the welfare of an animal. Refused to see a mutilating, bleeding bird (that he had seen before) because I had 'taken it to a different vet' despite being told 1) that the birds' regular vet is overseas for weeks 2) that I live in Sydney so it would be illogical for me to use him as a regular vet 3) that when he had previously seen this bird he had only done a bandage change, and that all surgeries and blood tests had always been done by his regular vet. Argued with everything I said, tried telling me I should never have taken the collar off that he put on. Another lie - the Sydney vet put the collar on. He attempted to 'add' to the collar by wrapping vet wrap around the birds throat which constricted his breathing and needed to be removed shortly after coming home. Tried to backtrack saying 'well I adjusted the collar for you'... this was his best reasoning for not treating a bird with blood rolling down its leg. My bird was clearly in pain and requiring stitches but Mike tried dispensing a lecture telling me things he assumed I was doing incorrectly (all of which was completely wrong, egotistic and cynical). When asked 'so you can't do a bangage change for him at very least?' he threw his hands in the air and said (WORD FOR WORD) 'I can't help this animal, you need to pick a vet and stick with it.' Thanks Mike, now my pet will suffer for 2 weeks until his regular vet returns. Poor excuse for an avian certified vet let alone an animal healthcare professional DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE IF YOU WANT A RESPECTABLE AND CARING VET. Read Less

Very disappointed I'm only on the DSP and rang to to confirm the price for my Ringneck Parrot and was told the price which was $26.00 for he's nails and $26 for his beck.which I even told the lady on the phone that worked out perfect as only on the Disability Pension and can pay for nails this fortnight and his beck next fortnight. So I booked in for today .the vet clipped his nails today and when I went to pay it was $58 I told them right away I can't afford them Price's and to better inform the reception about there prices I think this is a awful thing to do to a Disability person And wouldn't recommended this vet at all When the vet clipped his nails they even bleed and use normal nail clippers PLEASE BEWARE Read Less

Great Vet I highly recommend this practice. Always friendly reception and they do their best to help you quickly and efficiently. My Vet Kim is amazing. She remembers my cats even from my last visit which was years ago. Loving manner and great knowledge in all animals. She is a real animal person, gives me peace of mind that my animals are correctly looked after and I get the right information and advice :) might be a little pricey but with such good service I don't mind the fee's. Especially when it comes to the health of my animals which I wont put a price on. Also when i had an emergency late one Saturday night, the after hours service was excellent in helping me with my cat who had had some sort of fit. They returned my call within a couple mins and were very compassionate and understanding with great advice. Read Less

One of my cats passed last year while I was in Europe and my partner ran to this vets, unfortunately she passed away before he got there - however they held the body for him for a week for free and sent us a beautiful card saying sorry she passed. I took my other cat there for an infection he picked up and they were so kind and let me visit everyday and handled him very well! My old boy passed away recently we had him put down due to a major stroke and the vets came to the house and gave him the needle and he passed away peacefully in my arms and I can't thank this vet enough for how kind their staff are and their genuine love for animals! We also received a card for his passing. Read Less

The most disgusting customer service I've ever had the misfortune of receiving. I accompanied a friend who had a bird whose needed grooming. We were treated very well, until the original price nearly tripled upon picking up this bird. I was astounded at the level vulgarity used by the staff towards us. It's obvious professionalism and compassion are lacking within this establishment, needless to say I will never return and I will always tell people about the disgraceful display. Read Less

Absolutely Disgusted. BOTTOM LINE:GO TO GREENCROSS VETS In my life I have had 3 female cats, all who have been desexed and recovered perfectly within a matter of days. After having my girl desexed I was instructed by a nurse to give her half her normal portion of food, to have her confined to a room that was quiet and dark, given examples such as a laundry, bathroom or bedroom. I was informed that she would be drowsy & tired for the following 24 hours, & that if at ANY point I was concerned at all between the date she had the procedure & the 14 days following before she had her stitches out that I could bring her back in and have her checked, be given extra medications & be given care under the surgery she had just had DAY OR NIGHT. From previous experience at other vets, I knew this all to be true. As instructed, I bought her home to mums room & into her kitty bed that I would have to say she has spent over half of her life span relaxing & sleeping in. At 11pm that evening, I awoke to my usually affectionate & content kitten now grunting & panting, running havoc around the room with pupils the size of her eyes. I placed her into her material mesh carrier in an attempt to calm my furry little girl, only to have her roll around inside the carrier & become quite distressed. After a minute of that behaviour I removed her to find that there was one stitch intact, & that she was making noises I could only compare to a puppy whining. At this point I thought it imperative to call the "expert." I explained the situation to the employee who answered, which I was then told that the vet would call me back. Upon getting the phone call back and after explaining this situation another 5 times to what seemed one very uninterested man, & asking repeatedly for instruction on what I should do with the same tiresome response of "I don't know because I can't see it" I spurted out in a panic "Can I bring her in please?" The rude and sarcastic response I got was "Well yeah, you'll have to won't you?" I was at the vet in 20 minutes & met the older "gentleman" (a term I am using very loosely) I had the pleasure of speaking to on the phone. Again, I had to explain what happened & I asked what could of caused this. No response, other than he'll be here with all the animals tonight, that only two stitches had come out on the exterior & that because she had eaten she would need to be monitored and wouldn't be able to come home until 4pm the next day. I was given a belittling speech about how this would've affected me if I had undergone the surgery & how the right thing to do would be to go home and rest and what would happen if I had done what she had done. I walked out feeling stupid, given the impression by someone who could see how concerned I was that I had bought her home & attempted to do circus tricks with her. As any worried owner, I rang at various points of the day to see how she was going. I was told that all had gone well & that she would be fine to come home at 4pm. Upon arriving at 3:45, I spoke to the employee at the desk who asked if I would like to fix up the account now. Unaware of ANY price, I was shown that it was more than what I had actually paid for the complete procedure the previous day. I opted to speak to the vetenarian. I asked him politely why had this happened to her & why had I not been told at ANY point during the previous evening or the following day of an additional cost. Wide eyed at these questions, I was laughed at & asked to have a look at myself. He pointed to her cat carrier & said "that's a confined space." Even after the way she was behaving in it last night? I was given salty responses such as "Exactly, when I had to come in and look after YOUR cat, who's going to pay me for getting out of bed?", "What kind of owner lets their cat who's just had surgery go home to a bedroom" & "yeah don't ever come in here again." I will take him up on that offer. Had I have waited until my normal vets were available this certainly wouldn't have happened. At the very least, they care & take pride in their careers. Read Less
