We are conscious to maintain the feel of a ‘homely’, small sized Veterinary practice
We strive to give helpful and courteous service with staff that want to know you and your pets
We have a small and consistent team of small animal clinicians who enjoy their work and have many years of experience working in Toowoomba.
We have caring, friendly nursing staff, all of them fully qualified and between them they have over 60 years of experience.
The Rangeside Veterinarians practice was established in 2008 by Dr Alistair Webb.
This practice was an amalgamation of a small animal clinic that previously operated from 16a James Street (The Ridge Veterinary Surgery owned by Dr Carol Smith) and the Veterinary practice that Dr Alistair Webb had operated since 2004 and relocated from 104 Herries Street Toowoomba. In 2012 the practice completed some extensive renovations that improved the facilities inside the building and gave us the capacity to comfortably park 7 cars.
