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.
