Life-Changing Care - Dr. Breierer is Simply Outstanding! We cannot speak highly enough of Dr. Lucas Breierer and the entire team at Queensland Veterinary Specialists! Dr. Breierer performed a total hip replacement on our 2-year-old Border Collie cross Kelpie, Dasher, and the results have been absolutely transformative. Our journey began when Dasher was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia at just 6 months old. We agonized over the decision - should we proceed with surgery early or wait? The choice was ultimately made for us when she woke up at 2 years old with partial leg paralysis. While temporary, it was the sign we needed that her hips required immediate intervention. From our very first consultation, Dr. Breierer and his team were nothing short of magnificent. They took the time to explain everything in simple, understandable terms - not just the surgical procedure itself, but also the critical post-operative care needed for optimal recovery. Their communication was exceptional, and they made us feel confident and supported every step of the way. The pre-op period had us worried about containing Dasher's boundless energy, but she surprised us all by seeming to understand her limitations and being remarkably compliant. As her recovery progressed and her desire to run and jump returned, managing her activity became our biggest challenge - but it was absolutely worth it! We were amazed that Dasher was able to toilet with just a sling under her tummy from day one at home. With regular toilet breaks and watchful supervision, she settled beautifully on her bed between meals and bathroom trips. The recovery process required dedication, but the outcome has been beyond our wildest expectations. Three months post-surgery, Dasher's new hip is actually STRONGER than her original hip! While we know it's still early days, she's nearly back to 100% of her former self - actually, she's better than before! We're now seriously considering having her other hip done, which speaks volumes about our experience and confidence in Dr. Breierer's expertise. The support, guidance, and exceptional care we received from Dr. Breierer and the QVS team during this challenging time was truly remarkable. We have our little girl back, happier and healthier than ever before. Having the operation was undoubtedly the best decision we could have made for Dasher's quality of life. If your pet needs orthopedic surgery, we cannot recommend Dr. Breierer and Queensland Veterinary Specialists highly enough. They gave our girl a second chance at the active, pain-free life she deserves. Forever grateful! 🐾❤️

My boy Mo had been having difficulties with trying to urinate for 2 days. I took him over late night for a check up and rang before heading over. First time here and was checked in swiftly, Mo was taken out back and before I knew it we were talking to one of their fantastic vets who asked alot of questions, explained what was going on very clearly with his FLUTD and even wrote up some things on the white board to understand better. Medications prescribed and we were on out way home. Very friendly service and one of the best vet experiences I've had in Brisbane. I would recommend taking all your pets here.

Our little girl has been diagnosed with lymphoma and the oncology team have been great to deal with. They are very knowledgeable and are adapting our and our dog’s needs. Our dog can be reactive to other people and animals, the medical staff have taken the time to get to know our pup and now she feels comfortable with them while they do their examinations.

I was so impressed coming to QVS, I officially changed vets. Being a 24 hour clinic is fantastic. Dr Xavier and the repo team were knowledgeable, calm and available to see us early in the mornings which was very convenient with my work commitments. My dog was quite anxious and Dr Xavier created a plan to suit her behaviour and helped as manage the timelines but also fit our schedule. Everything was calm and no fuss. Thank you

When I had to make the hardest decision for my sick senior cat, she was put to sleep here to end her suffering. We were treated with kindness, empathy & understanding. There was no wait when we arrived that night & we were ushered in as soon as we arrived. I was given a lock of my beautiful girls fur & as her paw prints needed time to dry, when I returned to pick them up, they'd been made with fine gold dust on a black cardboard background inside a sympathy card. They went above & beyond any expectations & I'm so grateful for the time & care they provided. My heart is still broken as I grieve my cherished girl & I miss & shed tears for her every day. I adopted her when she was a 6 week old kitten & she would've turned 16 in November. As harrowing & painful as it was & still is, this Vet helped to ease us through this sad & anguished time in a compassionate way I will be eternally grateful for. . 💞🐾💞🐾
