Shadowmum Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Just wondering if anyone can recommend an Orthopedic veterinarian surgeon on the Central Coast NSW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly_Louise Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 No sorry I don't - but there are some great ones in Sydney Perhaps ask your normal vet for a referral? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
labsrule Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I think you need to get a Vet's referral to an Orthopaedic surgeon. Your vet should be able to give you this as it is not unusual for owners wanting a 2nd opinion from a specialist veterinary surgeon. I did this for one of my labs and even though my vet could do the surgery (it was eye surgery), I told him I wanted to consult with a Veterinary eye specialist to also get their opinion and my vet was fine with this. He was interested to get a copy of what the eye specialist recommended, so I asked the eye specialist clinic to fax a copy to my vet, which they did. This kept my vet fully in the picture and provided him with specialist information to assist him with ongoing treatment for my boy and also added to the Vet's knowledge bank. My vet wasn't put out at all when I requested the referral, as he knew that I only wanted the best for my boy and he was only too pleased to provide me with the referral.

rugerfly Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 All i know is people travelled all over to see David Ledbetter at North Parramatta Surgical specialists. He is awesome and opperated on Ruger's front leg. He is very very qualified and people coem from QLD, woolongong North Coast etc just to see him. Ring, no referral required.

Rappie Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Any of the major specialist centres in Sydney have vets that are very experienced orthopaedic surgeons (Veterinary Specialist Centre, Animal Referral Hospital, Small Animal Specialist Hospital, University of Sydney Camperdown). David Lidbetter works independently out of Parramatta Veterinary Surgical Specialists and is very, very good (and very highly qualified). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly_Louise Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Highly recommend Animal Referral Hospital in Strathfield too if you are coming this way. Seen Chloe through 2 orthapedic surgeries, and now take care of her cushings disease!! They've been lifesavers for my old girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kavik Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'll give a plug for Andrew Marchevsky who is at the Small Animal Specialist Hospital He was great when Diesel broke his leg, very good surgeon and a great guy as well, very personable. http://sashvets-px.rtrk.com.au/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
