I recently moved to the area and was frantically looking for a reliable vet. I was so glad I listened to the others who had left great reviews as Dr. Simon was extremely calm, professional, and polite. Our Border Collie x Cattle dog, Jacky, is definitely a handful but Simon knew exactly how to handle him and Jacky seemed comfortable around him too. At no time was I pressured to buy any products but was instead provided with valuable information on what we should look out for with treatments. All the information he provided was backed up by academic readings and articles. Not only did Simon seem genuinely concerned about our puppy's health, he was helpful with training him to be obedient.

I would not hesitate to recommend Simon as a vet to anyone. Simon has been looking after my crazy pets for years. I have numerous vets much closer to where I live but I will always travel further to see Simon. He is everything you want in a vet, calm, assured and compassionate and above all he always puts your pets best interest first weather that is what you want to hear or not. The clinic is always clean and tidy. I love the fact that all the staff are obviously big animal lovers and always fuss over my pets when I arrive.

Travel from the Gold Coast just because they are worth it. Animal welfare is their top priority and their prices are competitive. Treatment provided is what is best for your pet, and what more can you ask for.

I used Eight Mile Plains Vet Surgery for my previous cat, who lived till he was 23 years of age (in human years) and are using them again for my new little cat that I got from a rescue shelter. I found Simon always to give me truthful and honest information so I can be the best cat owner I can be. He is always up to date with the latest research and knows which are best for my cat, which saves me having to waste time reading about which of the millions of cat wormers are best. I find the surgery fee's very reasonable in comparison to other small animal vet clinics and if I am not sure on something I can call and speak to the vet directly about any health concerns that I may have in regards to my cat. I have recommended him to other friends who have small animals with health conditions and have been frustrated at their current vets. Highly recommend.

I can not recommend the services of Simon and the team at EMPVS enough. He has always taken great care of all my pets. He takes the time to explain in easy to understand terminology. Both Simon and the vet nurses at the surgery have always made both myself and my animals feel welcome, and make what can sometimes be a stressful situation that little be easier. I have and will continue to recommend his services to both family and friends..
