Owner Review Summary
Distilled from Google reviews — see what pet owners actually say
👍What Pet Owners Praised
Owners consistently praised the team’s exceptional surgical skill and outcomes across complex cases such as IVDD, TPLO/MPL, cruciate and elbow dysplasia, BOAS, and major soft‑tissue operations. Reviewers highlighted thorough, plain‑English explanations, genuine compassion from both vets and reception, rapid access to same‑day consultations and surgeries, and attentive follow‑up including after‑hours support.
💬Common Feedback & Suggestions
Reviews are almost entirely positive with no recurring complaints. The few notes raised relate to the realities of complex cases: emotionally tough situations, longer recoveries, and the need for regular follow‑ups or bandage changes, all of which the team supported closely. Overall sentiment emphasises gratitude and confidence rather than suggestions for change.

🐾Tips for Pet Owners
- If your pet needs urgent care, call ahead—many reviewers were seen and operated on the same day.
- Bring prior records, scans and referral notes; the team reviews these and explains all options clearly.
- Discuss costs upfront; many owners reported fees were significantly lower than other quotes and good value.
- Plan for aftercare and follow‑up visits (e.g., bandage changes or rehab) and make use of the team’s after‑hours support if needed.
- For anxious pets, let staff know on arrival; reviewers found the nurses and vets very gentle and calming, which helped their pets settle.

East Coast Veterinary Specialists is at 2 Park Place, Caloundra QLD 4551 on the Sunshine Coast. The easiest way to visit is to drive; there’s a public car park about a 3‑minute walk away. No train or light-rail station is within easy walking distance, so if you’re using public transport, check Google Maps for the best local bus route.
They’re open Monday to Friday, 8:00 am–5:30 pm, and closed on Saturdays and Sundays.
Call (07) 5248 8714 or visit https://ecvs.net.au/ for information and updates.
To book, please call the clinic; as a specialist service, your regular vet may provide a referral. Bring along any prior records, scans and notes so the team can review everything, and if your pet’s case is urgent, call ahead—many owners report being seen the same day.
Consultation fees vary and aren’t government‑regulated in Australia, so call the clinic for a current quote. Medicare doesn’t cover pets. For any procedure, ask for an itemised written estimate and discuss potential additional costs (e.g., imaging, medications, follow‑ups). If after‑hours or emergency care is required, fees are typically higher. Many owners use pet insurance or third‑party payment options (such as GapOnly, VetPay or Afterpay); check your cover and ask what options are available.
Australian vet clinics commonly accept EFTPOS, Visa/Mastercard and tap‑and‑go (Apple Pay/Google Pay), and some support pet‑insurance gap claims or payment plans—please call ahead to confirm what’s accepted on the day.
The clinic operates Monday–Friday (8:00 am–5:30 pm) and is not a 24/7 hospital, but reviewers report same‑day consultations/surgeries for urgent cases during business hours and attentive after‑hours support for follow‑up. If your pet needs urgent help outside hours, call ahead to check availability; if you can’t reach the team, head to the nearest 24/7 emergency vet.
This specialist team focuses on advanced surgery, including: spinal and IVDD surgery/neurosurgery; orthopaedic procedures (TPLO, MPL, cruciate, elbow dysplasia); BOAS brachycephalic airway surgery; soft‑tissue and abdominal surgery (e.g., laparotomy, salivary gland, kidney mass); trauma and fracture management; and laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery.
