I love when the vet is more concerned about the animals more then the money. Lately I've come across local vets that are so worried about charging extra fees that the patient cones second. I lost a few puppies due to this. But I was so happy that this clinic cares for the animal not the money. Definitely happy with them. Thank you guys

STAY AWAY! If I could give this clinic a negative amount of stars, I would. I have (had) been a client for the last 12 years. I have 6 pets that used their services until today. The quality of their staff has steadily declined over the years. In the last 3 months, I've had them totally lose one appointment, scheduled another incorrectly, and then have to cancel a third.

Today they opened their doors 20 minutes late (while not answering their phones) and then turned me away despite the fact that I was told I would be seen if I was waiting when the doors opened. The staff here is a total embarrassment. This place is an insult to the vet industry.

Dr B, is absolutely fantastic! He goes out of his way to make sure Oreo is comfortable and spends time explaining to me what is going on. Dr. B keeps thinking of new ways to take care of my cat and truly cares about what he does. I will continue to see Dr. B for all of my pets

I took my chihuahua into the emergency hospital with seizures. They recommended I take him to my vet. Animal hospital took him in the next morning without even having an appointment. They kept him for observation. They were really caring and helpful. I have used them for several years!

Took my cat that had a skin infection. It was unknown if it was bacterial after looking at a skin sample. After the shots and ointment given at the hospital and using the recommended shampoo as requested. My cat was still having skin issues. I used a bacterial spray from Chewy.com and my cats skin healed up in a few weeks. Could've saved my money. Staff at hospital were excellent and did their jobs great.

We had to put our sweet Daisy to sleep today. Dr. Ryan Dougherty spoke with me twice today about what was going on with Daisy. He is the most kind, caring and compassionate veterinarian I have ever used. Sylvia, in the reception area, also walked us through what was going to happen from beginning to end. Her love for all pets was so evident in the care she gave us. Brittany (Brit) also showed us so much kindness during this whole process! They made a horrible day a little easier.

They were amazing and so very helpful if ever we are in waco I will use them again. They fit us in and cared for my dog when she was attacked by a neighbors pit bull. She's doing great! Thanks again the entire staff is awesome and friendly

Save your time and pets and go somewhere else. The service of this vet has gone down immensely. Extremely disappointing that they have no time for their existing customers. Your dog is sick or injured and they can't fit you in for a month, even when you're willing to miss work or move anything around. Maybe make sure there are appointments to handle your current clients.

I understand it's especially busy but not only do you take down online booking, you also make it IMPOSSIBLE to book. Called multiple times and was put on hold for 20+ mins and never picked up. Busy line etc. At least when it was online booking, you'd be able to go on and look for openings that might have come up. Absolutely absurd that when you think you found a nice, affordable vet, they can't accommodate your sick dog in A MONTH. Absolutely absurd.

I took my fur baby Player in for an emergency visit, for the first time. Player was barely hanging on and I was very nervous. However, the staff here was very empathetic, reassuring, and they helped me with options better to fit my income and Players needs. I fell in love with the whole staff and can't wait to take Player back for check ups and yearly exams! Highly recommend!

Dr. B made sure to take care of our pup during even if he had to do it during his lunch break. Our fur baby needed a pretty urgent surgery and Dr. B made sure to get him taken care of ASAP. He also helped us set up a game plan going forward and made reassured us that our senior pup would be well taken care of during the procedure.
