Eben Martin, Veterinary Surgeon

Ask the surgeon before you decide.

I am a veterinary surgeon. Pet owners and GP vets send me the cases that need a surgeon's eye: second opinions, diagnoses that do not add up, quotes that feel wrong, recoveries going off script. Send me yours and I will give you an honest written answer.

Fixed fee confirmed before you pay a cent.

A surgeon, personally

Every case is read and answered by me, not a panel or a call centre.

Independent

I am not quoting for the operation, so my only job is being right.

In writing

You get a written opinion you can hand to your treating vet.

The cases I handle

If your question has the word surgery in it, it probably belongs here.

How it works

1

Send the case

The form takes five minutes. Records, imaging and the quote make my answer better, and I will tell you how to send them.

2

I confirm a fixed fee

From $250 depending on complexity. You decide with the number in front of you, before paying anything.

3

You get my written opinion

Plain language, reasoning shown, built to be taken back to your own vet.

Common questions

Are you a real vet I can verify?

Yes. I am a registered veterinary surgeon practising in Australia, and my registration details appear with every opinion I issue so you can check them.

Can you treat my pet or prescribe medication?

No, and I will not pretend otherwise. Australian rules require a physical examination for prescribing, and treatment belongs with your treating vet. What I provide is the expert read that helps you and your vet decide well.

What if my case is not really a surgical question?

Then I will say so when I confirm scope, before you pay, and point you somewhere better suited. I only take cases I can genuinely help with.

Not sure about a surgery your pet has been quoted?

Send me the case. Fixed fee confirmed before you pay. From $250.
