We can’t express the extent of our thanks to David and the team. Such professionalism & knowledge. Treated us with great respect and didn’t recommend anything unnecessary for our almost 12 year old Kelpie X Roxy. Our only regret is not switching to Cottesloe Vet sooner

Our 40kg dog required cruciate ligament surgery and we were very fortunate to have Dr David Neck recommended to us. Not long after she required the same surgery on the other leg followed by surgery to repair her meniscus. Such a lot of surgery in a short time for our beautiful girl. We cannot thank David and his staff enough for their kindness, commitment and excellent treatment to Shelby.
Shelby was in the best hands possible. David took time to explain everything to us before and after surgery and answered all of our questions. Not once were we made to feel rushed. We absolutely recommend

Dr Neck was very helpful with my Ferret Hoover. He took the time to explain things clearly and gave me a genuine idea on his likelihood for recovery which I really appreciate and I respect his honesty. I also really appreciate the team fitting me in today for an emergency visit even though they were fully booked. Thank you so much for your help
