Our Story

What started off as a mobile surgical team of two, veterinary founders Dr Patrick and Dr Rina Maguire, later expanded to a rehabilitation unit at Balestier Road. Thereafter, Dr Rina pioneered a clinic at East Coast Road to cater to the needs for avian and exotic pets in Singapore. In 2021, these three pillars were integrated into the Beecroft Animal Specialist & Emergency Hospital, the only independent referral veterinary hospital in Singapore.

Our 10,000 square foot facility is fully equipped and includes a CT and a 1.5 T MRI machine, two digital radiography rooms, ultrasound machines with echocardiography, scope equipment, interventional radiology facility, rehabilitation area, emergency treatment area, ICU, dedicated dog, cat and exotics wards, and three surgical suites (one equipped with a fluoroscope).

We have over 20 veterinarians including board-certified specialists, a criticalist, and emergency clinicians supported by over 60 veterinary technicians, nurses, and assistants. It is one of the largest veterinary centres in the region.

We provide a walk-in service for emergency cases which works in the same way as a human hospital. Cases are triaged by an emergency nurse, and assessed by our emergency and critical care team.

Our referral services for canine and feline patients are by referral only. Clients are encouraged to speak to their primary care vets if a referral is required. We strive with work together with your primary care vet to make sure there is continuity of care for your loved one.

The avian and exotics department will see primary care patients as well as referrals for our exotics specialist to consult on complex cases. Although a referral is not strictly required, we encourage you to get a referral from your primary vet if you have one before scheduling an appointment as we would love to work with your existing veterinarian to provide the best care for your pet.
