sallyandtex Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hi, Does anyone know of a specialist orthopod in Newcastle/Lake Mac area? Alot of vets advertise that they do 'orthopedic surgery" but I doubt they have qualifications. Thanks, K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but I think its Simon??? Avoid Stephen he has a lousy attitude but all up the practice is good although on the pricey side but they are very good.

I want to avoid those I don't know that are guilty of "over-servicing". Always good to get recommendations. The one I visit always costs me a fortune and I get no concrete answers.

FionaC Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Brunker Rd is a brilliant vet clinic, we see Paul but have seen Simon before and im pretty sure he does specialise in Ortho work ... It used to say on the website which vet has interests or specialises in which area .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigsaw Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Hope Sally's OK. Don't know of any ortho specialists to recommend unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappie Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I don't know of any registered veterinary surgical specialists in the Newcastle region, but there are several great ones in Sydney. David Lidbetter is in Parramatta and takes referrals from all over, and there are several at the Small Animal Specialist Hospital (North Ryde), Animal Referral Hospital (Homebush) and the University Veterinary Teaching Hospital (Campderdown).

Jonny Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 There is no specialist surgeon in Newcastle. As stated you will have to go down to Sydney. We send all our orthopedic referrals to Tony Black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huck house Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 We used Hamilton vet clinic for a over ten years . Their head surgeon, Jeff Howe is very skilled and does orthopedic surgery . They are not cheap , as they are experts. Our favorite vet is no longer a partner in the business there . He would always get Jeff to do difficult operations as he is the master.
