Why Glen Waverley owners drive past closer clinics

What the price list cannot show is in the reviews. "Annual Vax for a Shiba Inu was super straightforward and well-priced. Also had a check-up which felt thorough and sincere," one owner wrote in July 2026. Another, in June: "a local vet who actually listens to you and is extremely thorough! Very reasonably priced." A third described "a lovely small practice" where the vet "speaks in normal terms" and gives "genuine time to discuss during consult". The vets are Dr Jessica Goh, who founded the clinic after 15 years in practice, and Dr Angela, a University of Melbourne graduate.

Results in the same visit

Blood tests run on the clinic's own IDEXX analysers, and X-ray and ultrasound are in the building, so most answers come back the same day.

Separate cat and dog rooms

Cats are examined in their own consult room and recover in their own ward, away from the dogs. Two entrances mean a nervous animal goes straight to a room.

Certified canine rehabilitation on site

Dr Jess is a Certified Canine Rehabilitation Therapist: arthritis plans, laser therapy and post-op conditioning happen at the clinic, without a referral across town.

Decisions made with you

The owner of a senior cat wrote in May 2026 that Dr Jess was "very collaborative in her treatment approach": you hear the options, and you choose.

Pets in Glen Waverley

For a cat that lives indoors around The Glen or the station, the two problems that build quietly are weight and teeth: the nutrition page covers weight plans and the dentistry page explains what a scale and polish involves. A cat straining in the litter tray is an urgent-care case, and ultrasound is on site.

Highview Park at 51 to 58 Springvale Road, a Monash Council off-leash area, sits between The Glen and the highway, so it is on the way to the clinic. After a run there from spring on, check between the toes and in the ears for grass seeds; the guide shows the early signs.

For the north of the suburb, the 75 tram stops at Springvale Road and Burwood Highway and ends opposite the clinic.

Getting here from Glen Waverley

By car, about four minutes (3.5 km). From The Glen, head north on Springvale Road for about 2.8 km, turn right onto Burwood Highway at the lights, and the clinic is 1.3 km along on the Hartland Road corner, opposite Vermont South Shopping Centre. From the High Street Road side allow five minutes.

By public transport. The 902 bus runs up Springvale Road to Burwood Highway; change there to the 75 tram for one stop to the terminus opposite the clinic, or walk the last stretch. About 22 minutes from Glen Waverley station, or 34 minutes on the 902 alone. Check PTV for times.

Parking. Free parking behind the clinic and on the street; the entrance and the parking are wheelchair accessible.

When you arrive. If your cat hates the carrier or your dog reacts to other animals, say so when you book and you go straight through to a room.

Things Glen Waverley owners ask

  • How much does a consult cost, and what is included?

    A routine consultation is $118 and includes the examination, the discussion of what the vet found and a plan you take home. A vaccination visit is $140 to $160 with a health check in the same appointment. Anything beyond the consult, such as blood tests, imaging or a procedure, is quoted to you first.

  • Do you give an estimate before treatment?

    Yes, before any test or procedure beyond the consult. After the examination the team writes up the cost of each recommended step, talks through the options with you and starts only when you have agreed. If something changes part-way through treatment, you get a call before more is done. VetPay and Afterpay are available.

  • Why do people from Glen Waverley come to Vermont South?

    The clinic is 3.5 km up Springvale Road, four minutes by car. In their reviews, owners name the prices, consults that are not rushed and a vet who listens. On top of that, every price is published before you book, you get an estimate before anything beyond the consult, and the two vets are Dr Jessica Goh and Dr Angela, so you know who you will see.

  • Do cats have their own room?

    Yes. There are separate cat and dog consult rooms and separate wards, so a cat is examined and recovers away from dogs. Two entrances let a nervous cat go straight to a room, and there are privacy areas for animals that need quiet. Mention it when you book.

  • Can my pet be seen the same day?

    For something urgent, call 03 9968 7771 and the team fits urgent cases into the day where they can; walk-ins are triaged on arrival during opening hours. The clinic is open until 7pm Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and until 3pm Saturday, and X-ray, ultrasound and blood tests are done on site the same day.

  • Where do I go for an after-hours emergency from Glen Waverley?

    Call the clinic on 03 9968 7771 whatever the hour. When the clinic is closed the prompts connect you to a vet nurse, free of charge and with no need to be a client, who helps you decide whether it can wait. If it cannot, they give you the name of the nearest emergency hospital; if it can, you get advice for the night and a follow-up is booked when the clinic opens.
