About Ramsgate Vet
Ramsgate Vet is the closest veterinary hospital to Monterey, located just over a kilometre away at 231 Rocky Point Road. For Monterey pet owners, that means specialist-level care is genuinely around the corner — no long drives, no unfamiliar clinics, no compromise on quality. Monterey is a quiet, predominantly residential suburb sitting between Scarborough Park and the shores of Botany Bay, with a strong community of families and long-term locals who take their pets seriously. Our clinic offers everything from puppy vaccinations and annual health checks through to soft tissue surgery, dental care, laser therapy, and emergency consultations — all delivered by an experienced, compassionate team that takes the time to get to know your pet. Whether you have a dog who loves the beach or a cat who rarely leaves the couch, Ramsgate Vet is your local vet hospital for life.
Why Ramsgate Vet?
Monterey's closest full-service veterinary hospital
At just over a kilometre from central Monterey, Ramsgate Vet is the most convenient full-service vet clinic available to local pet owners. There's no need to travel to Kogarah or beyond for quality care — our clinic handles everything from routine preventative appointments through to complex surgical procedures and advanced diagnostics. We're open Monday to Friday from 7:30am to 8pm, Saturdays from 10am to 4pm, and offer emergency consultations on Sundays from 10am to 12pm.
A team with genuine depth and specialist skills
Behind every consultation at Ramsgate Vet is a team of six experienced veterinarians with a broad range of clinical expertise. Dr Nima Rahmani has been practising since 2004 and leads the team with particular strength in complex medicine, orthopaedic and soft tissue surgery, and emergency care. Dr Clarence Ng holds a Graduate Certificate in Small Animal Ultrasound from the University of Melbourne and has specialist interests in radiology and oncology. Dr Marnie Flick brings a background in equine sports medicine and published research in biomarkers. Whatever your pet's needs, there's a vet on our team who has seen it before.
Comprehensive care under one roof
Monterey pet owners have access to the full spectrum of veterinary services at Ramsgate Vet — including in-house blood testing with same-day results, dental care under anaesthesia, pet laser therapy for pain and inflammation, orthopaedic surgery for joint and bone conditions, X-rays and ultrasound, and visiting specialist consultations for complex cases. Our cat-exclusive cattery, located above the main clinic and supervised by veterinary staff, also offers safe and calm boarding when you travel.
Unhurried, family-run care with transparent pricing
Ramsgate Vet was founded by Dr Nima Rahmani with a straightforward philosophy: treat every pet with the same care and respect you'd want for your own. That means appointments that never feel rushed, written treatment estimates before any procedure begins, flexible payment options for unexpected costs, and a team that communicates clearly every step of the way. We also offer fear-free handling techniques and calming aids for anxious pets, so even nervous visitors can have a positive experience at the clinic.
Hear it from those who trusted us with their pets:
The best vets Clarence and the team helped my boots with treatment and tried to keep him alive. Later helped me to cope when he was put down he was 18. Beautiful people so caring and lovely. Even gave me wine for xmas
We recently moved to the St. George area and have been on a five-year quest to find a vet where our anxious German Shepherd, Mia, feels comfortable. Every vet visit was a stressful experience for all of us – Mia would pull on her leash and try to bolt out the door. That all changed at Ramsgate Vet. Jess, the receptionist, went above and beyond to make Mia feel relaxed and welcome. Her warm interactions with Mia, combined with the excellent consultation by Tiffany, the vet on duty, made a world of difference. For the first time in a long time, Mia was able to stay calmly in the foyer, on a loose leash! Thank you, Jess, for making our usually anxious girl feel relaxed and at ease. Your kindness and professionalism are greatly appreciated. We can't recommend Ramsgate Vet highly enough to anyone looking for an exceptional veterinary experience. They truly exceeded our expectations! Very satisfied, Alf and Mia
It’s always a pleasure to visit this vet clinic. The vets, and reception people are always very polite and friendly. The clinic is always spotless.
The staff were caring and our pugs breathing problems sorted
Such an amazing team! From reception to the nurses, to the vets - I don't have a bad word to say. I've been waiting to find a place that you walk into where you feel like they love your fur baby as much as you do and this is the place! Really amazing team of people!
Thank you Dr Tiffany for your amazing service. You always go above and beyond to make sure our little Clara is looked after. We really appreciate your holistic care approach.
I have recently moved to the area and needed to take my reactive little chihuahua to a new vet. RVH has been the first Vet we've gone to that's pointed out my little dogs heart problems. This team are all angels sent from heaven, I can't thank them enough for treating my boy with urgency and truly going above and beyond. After receiving quite confronting news regarding my dog during my first visit to RVH, these angels have shown nothing but kindness, empathy and compassion to my dog and I. My dogs primary care team has been Nurse Jess and Dr Marnie with v special mention to Dr Tiffany <3
They are amazing people.
First time to this vet. From the friendly call to having an available appointment I was greeted at the practice by the vet nurse Tahlia. Dr Tiffany so lovely and attentive . Really felt at ease with her and caring disposition for my pug. I will be back in September. Well priced and the decor of the clinic is spacious.
I first a attended this Vet when we noticed our Cavalier was having issues with her mobility. The vets and nurses were incredibly supportive and attentive to our little girl. The care and compassion they provided to treat her was exceptional. I found my little girl to be very comfortable and quite spoiled here by the beautiful staff who work here. They explained very clearly what was going on with her, the treatment required, the pros and cons and how best to manage her condition going forward. I feel very lucky to have found Ramsgate Vet Hospital and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone!
Excellent vet! Great team from the nurses to the Dr. Everyone was kind, happy to help and pleasant to talk to even over the phone. Dr. McMahon was very knowledged and explained everything during consultation with my dog Haldo. I have found my regular vet now!
Extremely helpful and informative. Took great care of my cat!
