Gold Coast Vet Surgery is the 2nd oldest vet clinic on the Gold Coast. It was previously known as Gold Coast Small Animal Hospital and Clinic and was founded by Dr Ed Mintz. Originally in Audry Street, now downtown Surfers Paradise, Dr Mintz moved to the current premises (in Broadbeach on the southern outskirts of Surfers Paradise) that were purpose built as an animal hospital. He established the practice as a clinic renowned for a caring, personal service and developed a loyal following of clients. Dr Mintz retired in October 2006 and sold the practice to the current owners Drs Kevin and Fiona Cruickshank.

At the Gold Coast Walk In Vet, we understand that illness and injury can happen at any time. That's why we offer after hours veterinary services to ensure your pet receives the care they need, when they need it. Our team of experienced veterinarians is dedicated to providing high-quality urgent care by working in the space between daytime general practice and evening emergency hospitals. We operate on a first-come, first-served basis - no appointments required. Dr. Bronwyn Orr, the former president of the Australia Veterinary Association, is the founder of the Gold Coast Walk In Vet Clinic (After-hour Vet service). The clinic aims to provide affordable emergency/after-hour service.
