Mobile Veterinary Specialists
Consulting Animal Specialists are a Mobile Veterinary Service that brings the specialist to you. We differ from traditional specialist referral hospitals in that the specialist comes to your local veterinarian to consult and perform the necessary procedures on your pet. Your furry family member is therefore treated and cared for in a familiar environment close to home.
Our services include: Surgery, Surgical Procedures and Specialist Consultations
The Advantages of Using a Specialist
Your general veterinarian is a very knowledgeable and skilled individual who is trained to perform many general procedures. Some conditions however require additional specialist expertise and equipment in order to give your pet the best chance of a successful outcome.
Specialist veterinarians exist across many fields namely surgery, internal medicine, oncology, dermatology, diagnostic imaging etc.
In order to be registered as an Australian specialist requires a minimum of 3 years additional veterinary training under the supervision of other specialists followed by successful completion of a rigorous examination process by a recognised governing body.
This registration ensures that your pet is afforded the highest standard of care.

Dr. Ross Mcgreggor
Australian Registered Specialist Small Animal Surgeon
I have had the pleasure of working alongside Dr Eugene Buffa on several occasions at Somersby Animal Hospital during orthopaedic and specialised surgeries. We are so fortunate to have an exceptional specialist surgeon who will perform these procedures at our clinic. Our patients do not have to be transferred to another facility, and we are directly involved with their care during the whole procedure – which our clients love. Dr Buffa is always available for consultation for any case and we are sincerely thankful to him for this service.
Hi Dr Buffa, My name is Molly and I have a Yorkshire Terrier named Gizmo.
Back in South Africa in 2005 you performed surgery on his back. We were not sure then that he would recover and walk again but were fortunate enough that he made a full recovery. We brought him with us to the USA and this year celebrate his 19th birthday. He has had a full and wonderful life and while the years are now finally catching up on him we reflect on how blessed we were to get those extra years with him. I wanted to send you this note to thank you for the magic you performed on him all those years ago. He is such a blessing!
