Not the nice woman who helped me faults but the vet was out sick the day of my appointment so it appeared as if I'd have to reschedule and come back later but the staff was super helpful and accommodating. Since I live nearly an hour away they helped me out by housing my animals until the next day.

Report
Most of the staff has always been very kind Except for the main vet. Took my cat here twice and he repeatedly brushed off my concerns and made me feel like I was stupid. He told me I was overreacting about my cats ears (which are very waxy and he scratches at them a lot, causing pain) and literally told me not to bring him in again for the same problem. Most of the staff has always been good to me and my animals, but I can't bring my cat back to that man.

Critical: Quality, Reliability, Value The worst experience I've ever had with an animal. They do the least they can. left him in a soaked urine pad all day. No pain meds nothing. He's so uncomfortable hurting. Disgusted. They shouldn't have a license to be a vet hospital

Critical: Professionalism These people are not well trained with dogs whom have anxiety. All they try to do is prescribe different pills upon pills. My dog has also ran away from Clinton veterinary in the hands of them. horrible experience wish they'd be more understanding but I constantly get asked if my dog is in good care.

They take very good care of my pet. They're also very kind and thoughtful of me as the owner and explain things so I can make the right decision with their help
