Acacia Veterinary Surgery

Acacia Veterinary was a pleasant enough place and the staff were very nice BUT the Vet in charge of that place needs to go and do a refresher's course on Veterinary. The person I saw with my 6 year old Dachshund which was having problems walking and in considerable pain and examined for us to be told he must have strained himself and was given Anti Inflammatory Medication.This did not work very well so off I went back to Acacia with same vet and this time was told he has Arthritis in back and needed to go onto pain killers well as you guessed it that wasn't right either, what annoys not once were we asked if we would like an X-Ray done on my dog.We decided to go to another Vet (thank god) and as soon as I showed her how my dog was walking straight away was booked in for an X-Ray to cut along story short my poor little boy is now suffering from a Bulging Disc and is now having the right treatment for his back.Those two weeks wasting my time and money on the WRONG treatments could have saved my little boy lots of pain.Morel of my story if your not convinced your animal is not getting the right treatment please please go and get a second opinion.I won't ever ever take any of my dogs to Acacia Veterinary againvery disappointed of how my dog was treated and I am just thankful I went with my gut and got that second opinion because I honestly think if left to him I would have buried my dog by now.Annoyed X customer.

Marty is a great Vet Surgeon

The staff at this vet has been the best I’ve ever dealt with. They were VERY sympathetic about my poor sweet baby girl who had to be put to sleep, they went above and beyond, including helping me carry her from the car in an awful state and Let me sit with her and howl over her body for as long as I needed and didn’t make me feel judged, only offered tissues and the friendliest smile they could, they then performed surgery on my other sweet baby, after trying to do everything without the cost and risk of sedation (which wasn’t possible), but they have done the best job and were VERY accomodating, I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone and they are the ONLY place I will take my sweet girl from here on after having an awful encounter with another vet in Yeppoon who was frustrated at me for crying on the phone when my baby girl was passing away infront of me.. If I could give these hero’s 10/5 I would.

My little dog had extremely bad breath and hadn't eaten much in 3 weeks, so brought her to the Acacia Vet. The vet assessed her and she needed a couple of teeth removed and teeth cleaned. The vet here was absolutely awesome. She explained everything to us with the procedure my little dog would have and was most informative. The care that everyone has at this surgery is really heartfelt. Most surgeries are only in it for the money.. where this surgery is quite good with their prices. Would highly recommend Acacia Veterinary Surgery.

A lovely caring group of people who looked after my little kelpie when he ripped his claw off. Thanks guys
