Why Refer to VSOS

Your Trusted Specialist Partner in Patient Care

At VSOS (Veterinary Specialists of Sydney), we exist to support you.

Whether your patient needs advanced diagnostics, surgical expertise, or urgent intervention, we’re here to complement your care, not replace it. From our Advanced Treatment Centre to our Mobile Specialist Services, we’re your behind-the-scenes partner, working collaboratively to achieve the best outcome for every case.

We see ourselves as an extension of your team - bringing clarity to complex cases and helping you provide gold-standard care, without losing the continuity your clients value.

The VSOS Difference

Partnership, Not Competition

We are a referral-only specialist and emergency team. You remain the primary vet - we’re here to consult, treat, and return the patient to your ongoing care, with detailed updates throughout.

Leading Clinical Expertise

Our multidisciplinary team includes specialists across surgery, internal medicine, cardiology, imaging, dermatology, ophthalmology, emergency, and more. Our team-based approach allows for collaborative, fast-tracked decision-making across disciplines.

Advanced Treatment Centre (ATC)

Located in Sydney’s south, our purpose-built hospital features state-of-the-art diagnostic and surgical capabilities, including:

24/7 Emergency & Critical Care
MRI, CT, fluoroscopy, and in-house pathology
Orthopaedic, neurological, and soft tissue surgery
Interventional radiology and oncology
Post-op rehabilitation services
Full anaesthesia and pain management team

This gives you a single referral destination for even the most complex cases.

Mobile Specialist Services

Prefer care at your clinic? Our Mobile Specialist Unit brings advanced diagnostics and surgery to you.

We can perform:

Ultrasound and echocardiography
CT (via hospital transport or outpatient bookings)
Advanced medical consults
Specialist surgical procedures
Joint diagnostic workups and second opinions

This model reduces stress for pets, increases accessibility for owners, and helps you retain case visibility and continuity.

Seamless, Supportive Referrals

We understand the trust you place in us when you refer. That’s why we prioritise:

Clear communication: You’ll receive timely updates before, during, and after treatment.
Shared care philosophy: We treat your clients with respect and professionalism, reinforcing your role as their primary veterinarian.
Flexible case pathways: Whether you refer for diagnostics, second opinions, or full surgical care, we tailor our involvement to your preference.

You can reach our team directly at any time — no frustrating handoffs, no unanswered emails.

Interventional Radiology: Expanding What’s Possible

VSOS is one of the few veterinary hospitals in Australia offering minimally invasive interventional radiology. From inoperable tumours to complex urinary issues, this approach allows us to treat cases with fewer complications, faster recovery, and often no major surgery at all.

Laser ablation of ectopic ureters
Stent placement for obstructive disease
Arterial embolisation for chronic pain or bleeding
Interventional oncology options for liver, prostate, and nasal tumours

These procedures are ideal for patients who are poor surgical candidates — and they’re an exciting option to have in your referral toolkit.
