Vets on Balwyn Feedback
EXCELLENT Based on 8 reviews Posted on Hannah WoodTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Vets on Balwyn are easily the best vet we've visited. Dr Kevin Foster was thorough, warm and gentle with my precious Huckleberry. He was generous with his time in conducting the check up and also addressed a problem with an on-the-spot procedure. His knowledge, flexibility as well as his attentiveness to all our concerns was deeply appreciated. The pricing was very fair. It is heartening to know we have found a reliable and trustworthy vet in our community.Posted on Gaurav SinghTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing team at Vets on Balwyn. The care and treatment for our family dog was on point and perfect!! Thank you!!Posted on KateTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been taking my dog with complex medical needs here for years now and wouldn’t change a thing. I moved away further across the city but I still drive back. Once you find an amazing vet it’s worth the drive and having real confidence in the care they providePosted on peter snellingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My dog is 14 and anxious but the vet and her team go out of their way to make her comfortable and distract her with treats. This relaxes me so I can make an informed decision about the treatment options presented.The team is highly professional displaying compassion , dedication and skill and I could not recommend them more highly!Posted on TaniaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

The staff are all lovely and very helpful.Posted on Kim HalseTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional Care and Expertise I couldn’t be more grateful for the outstanding care my Belgian Malinois, Viper, received at Vets on Balwyn. Dr Michelle Rassool and the entire team were exceptional from start to finish. Their professionalism, calm handling, and genuine compassion made an anxious situation feel completely manageable. Viper’s surgical procedure was carried out with remarkable skill and attention to detail. The team kept me informed at every stage, and their confidence and expertise gave me complete peace of mind. Post‑surgery, Viper was monitored with such care that it was clear he wasn’t just another patient - he was treated like one of their own. Thank you to Dr Rassool and the wonderful staff for going above and beyond. Your dedication, empathy, and clinical excellence made all the difference. I highly recommend Vets on Balwyn to anyone seeking exceptional veterinary care.Posted on Dora DTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been visiting Vets on Balwyn for several years and prior to moving was also a client at Vets on Parker. Dr Kevin and all of his team are truly incredible and I couldn’t recommend them highly enough. Recently my little senior dog crossed the rainbow bridge and during such a difficult time Dr Kevin and his team were incredibly kind and accommodating, thoughtfully supporting some of my final requests. Every staff member I’ve encountered has been lovely and I feel so fortunate to have such a caring and professional veterinary practice so close to home. Thank you Vets on Balwyn for everything you do!Posted on Manju Ann PramodeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our Snoopy met Dr. Kevin Foster. He was very friendly and caring. Also explained everything in detail about the desexing procedure. All staffs are very friendly. I definitely recommend this place for pet dogs.
