General Info
Of all the services we offer our clients, we believe this is the most important one. A thorough examination allows us to pinpoint diseases before they develop. Palpation of your pet from head to toe gives us the opportunity to locate not only unwanted guests but allow us to feel internal organs that may be abnormally enlarged or other serious abnormalities. Touch is the most developed tool in our arsenal of diagnostic instruments. Naturally we do recommend having blood work processed yearly, similar to what your own doctor recommends, as this also provides us with valuable information that can only be retrieved through in-depth analysis.

I too had a horrible experience. I took my 9 month old pup in for two shots which I had been quoted $115 on. Navdeep SINGH was very rude and in a hurry. Went on about his ears being pink and required a slide which would be $40, then 5 second later said the slide showed an infection, needs a flush, ear drops and antibiotics. Then went on to say he felt pup was allergic to present food, should buy hypoallergic food from Him NO ONE else, including any pet stores. Said he should be de-wormed which I agreed to, he quoted $60 but actually charged $75. Total bill came in at more than $380.00. I felt scammed when I paid. I felt worse when I arrived home. Checked out reviews. All bad. All agreed he is in the wrong business of dealing with pets; should rather be in business of ripping people off, which is essentially running through a Vet Hospital. Such a joke, disservice to all professional veterinarians! Read Less

Hi Trudy, we are sorry about your experience with us. You were quoted about the vaccination on the phone, and on exam your puppy has an ear infection, for which you were informed. Before dispensing the medication you were given full verbal estimate by our vet assistant and you consented for dispensing the medications.

I do not tend to leave reviews but had to leave one regarding Creekside vet. Not a pleasant experience with putting our dog down at this vet with Dr. Navdeep Masoun Singh. Tried to start procedure after telling us to pay first and I was NOT in the room. Argument when we went back to pick up paw print  saying it's procedure and does not know if everyone was in room but does not confirm first before starting and refuse to apologize. Says we are not doctor and that's how he does it. We are not doctors (as he keeps saying) so from the first needle, to us the procedure starts there and I would assume that being the cause to most other dog owners as well. We have made many paw prints with our dog prior to our decision of putting him down but wanted a professional one. The paw print we got from them does not seem to match the one he gave us but we have no way of confirming this with proof as he says. Another note was our paw print took 3 months after we call and ask if its ready, when they said 4-6weeks max.The front desk girl told us that we should research first about different vet to make sure you pick the right one, so I would like to leave my experience so you could make your own decision. His attitude towards the situation was not very empathetic. Read Less

Started taking our dogs to this clinic recently and so far we have had positive experiences. The receptionists are polite, helpful and ALWAYS friendly! The doctors have been great to work with, friendly and knowledgeable. Dr. Navdeep Singh has been especially great, gentle and patient with our dog who has aggressive behavior at the vet. Great prices in comparison to our old clinic and they were even able to diagnose a potentially harmful infection that our other clinic missed. We have seen them for various services, from regular check ups to dental work. Everything so far has been excellent. Read Less

I came here to get my kitten Spayed and Microchipped. The people there were pretty helpful. A girl named Jordan (My apologies if I did spell her name incorrectly) I really like how she gives me a call, just to check up and see how my kitten Luna is. She suggested me to get a onesie for her, due to her cats not liking the cone. I did that and it's a lot more efficient than the cone. The Doctor was nice, good to know they took care of my fur baby very well. Thank you Creek Side Veterinary Hospital, please continue your hard work on taking care of people's pets. Read Less

What Can I possibly say? AMAZING! Best hospital in all of Calgary. Wayy better then the last management. They have such affordable prices and are such hardworking people. As far as I’ve seen them, they work with passion and that’s what every doctor should do but there’s very few who do. I’m very glad to say that these doctors including the front desk girls are one of them. I highly recommend every pet owner to go there. The front desk girls are sooo sweet that they treat your pets with more care then they would give to their own. I would also encourage every person out there to rate this hospital a 5 star. Trust me you won’t regret it. Thank you! Read Less

My cats have been coming here since I got them over 5 years ago. Dr. Mangat was so nice, and the new owners and vets have carried right on with excellent level of care. The whole team is compassionate, friendly and so good about explaining the procedures, results, charges and I get the sense they genuinely love all the animals they treat. They do not pressure you into getting tests or procedures done, but always have the animals best interest at the heart of what they do. Case in point, both boys are having their teeth cleaned,and one of them was looking at two extractions, but felt saving the teeth for now is better for my boy. Thank you Dr Randy for calling and explaining everything so well, and for demonstrating by actions and not just words that you love my cats Read Less

We brought our dog here in October because of a skin infection. The doctor was very hands on and even smelled the area that was inflamed. At the end of the visit when they gave us 3 different types of pills, a cream and a special wash, I was inwardly cringing at what the price would be. To my amazement it was only $130 including the visit and a skin test!! Our dog again had a ear infection a couple of weeks ago so we brought her in. I warned the vet (a different one) that she would need a muzzle as she doesn't like strangers. The vet instead took his time to get to know her and by the end of the visit she was licking his cheek! Very impressed from the front desk staff to the vets. I also like the new app associated with the clinic that lets you see the pets history. Read Less

Recently, I brought my 5 month old puppy and 2 year old cat in for a check up. The girls at the front were so nice and patient with me. I normally go to another veterinary hospital but decided to go to Creekside after a friend had nothing but great things to say about this clinic. Dr Mangat took us in right away and not only greeted me, but also greeted my pets by name which I thought was very nice. He recommended a flea and tick preventative for my puppy as we go to BC quite often and also discovered an ear infection which my regular vet overlooked a few times. I was concerned about my cat having a chipped tooth which he reassured me wouldn't be a problem with proper care. Dr Mangat really wow'd me with how he treated me and my pets, even holding my puppy and talking to her when she became afraid. I had such a pleasant experience that I switched vets and already made an appointment to get my puppy spayed here. I highly recommend coming to Creekside Veterinarian Hospital. Read Less

I recommend them to everyone and I will now be bringing in our other two cats as well. Thank you so much everyone at Creekside!I took our cat Kreamie  in for a check up and to look at a sore that he keeps scratching at. The clinic was very clean and the ladies greeted me and were super friendly. The doctor got him in and he needs to go on a diet(fat boy). The sore turns out to be a skin tag that can be removed with a simple surgery while put under. The Dr recommended a blood test for the senior check up(what they called it) and to see if it's safe to put him under for the surgery for the sore removal. Tests came back and he has the starting signs of kidney disease. The short and the long of it is that he could pass in the next year but since we caught it early, with check ups he could live a good life with a change in diet(fat boy needed it anyway) and meds.  They set me up with new food and the meds and told me what needs to be done to keep him around but I will have to keep on him about not picking at his sore, not worth the risk for surgery. Thank you again Creekside for all your help with my little friend Read Less

Not a fan of this vet clinic. The receptionists are helpful and great with my pets, but the vet did a very limited exam on my cats. The cost of the appointment fee plus vaccinations was higher than expected, especially for "ok" service, and their prescription cat food is more expensive than other locations. The lack of vet tech's and the receptionists doing animal care doesn't seem right.

Thoroughly unimpressed. Got our new puppy a couple weeks ago as a rescue and she seemed great at first then had some symptoms that suggested she wasn't feeling well like runny nose and diarrhea so I decided to move up to appointment I had made for the following week just to be on the safe side. She had a full exam and I expressed my concerns which garnered no concern from the vet. He said she might have a virus but seems healthy so she's fine. One concern I expressed as well was about how itchy she seemed and her flaky skin so he suggested some topical oil. So I left feeling my pup was fine and spent the 100$ to get her looked at plus 25 for the skin stuff and away I went. Not even a week later she started vomiting long after having eaten ;8+ hours) so I took her back and again expressed my concerns which again were brushed off and he said maybe she needs some food that will help her digest better and that he didn't want to get too much into diagnostics yet and just to monitor her. I was again charged for the appointment and the suggested food to the tune of 120$. Low and behold the very same night my poor puppy had worm filled feces and is not doing well at all. I am disappointed at not only being charged 300$ and given specialty products to address the symptoms but more importantly the lack of regard shown for my pup's wellbeing. In hindsight it should have been a red flag that he was not concerned about any sort of diagnostics and instead suggested products they sell but regardless of the money spent, if she had something more serious like parvo or distemper that kind of apathy could have cost my pup her life.

Grrrr - pretty mad right now!We are just home from this vet clinic just now with our 2 indoor cats RE vaccinations and yearly check ups. On the phone a couple of weeks ago, my husband was quoted $85 per cat for check up and shots. That is what I was used to paying in another province, so we were good to go. Close to our new home, this clinic was our choice and it was our first time there today.The paperwork to be filled out was normal, took a bit but afterwards, the vet was prompt, courteous and kind to our fur babies. No complaints about his care and his availability to answer questions and talk to us. He even detected that one of our cats had a heart murmur which he was born with, without us even having told him. (OR he simply looked at our cat's history chart obtained from our previous vet in ON, hard to say for sure)What pisses me off is that the bill came to $315, almost double what we were quoted on the phone. They knew going in we just wanted the basic shots but they added another $50 for rabies (needed yes, but we figured that was in the basic cost, was just surprised) and another $80 (deworming pills - not needed). What we budgeted for is not what we paid and although they went over the bill with us at the end, they had to know we were ticked.I know that vets shaft often and that pet owners are at their mercy. BUT I encourage anyone going to this clinic to go over the costs IN PERSON prior to your pet being seen.The clinic loses 2 stars for its billing procedures.We want to keep a good relationship with them but there needs to be some accountability and professional etiquette.DO NOT allow yourself to be nagged into de-worming pills as they ask over and over again saying it is for the good of your pet unless you wish to get them. Money grab. Read Less

I too had a horrible experience. I took my 9 month old pup in for two shots which I had been quoted $115 on. Navdeep SINGH was very rude and in a hurry. Went on about his ears being pink and required a slide which would be $40, then 5 second later said the slide showed an infection, needs a flush, ear drops and antibiotics. Then went on to say he felt pup was allergic to present food, should buy hypoallergic food from Him NO ONE else, including any pet stores. Said he should be de-wormed which I agreed to, he quoted $60 but actually charged $75. Total bill came in at more than $380.00. I felt scammed when I paid. I felt worse when I arrived home. Checked out reviews. All bad. All agreed he is in the wrong business of dealing with pets; should rather be in business of ripping people off, which is essentially running through a Vet Hospital. Such a joke, disservice to all professional veterinarians! Read Less

Hi Trudy, we are sorry about your experience with us. You were quoted about the vaccination on the phone, and on exam your puppy has an ear infection, for which you were informed. Before dispensing the medication you were given full verbal estimate by our vet assistant and you consented for dispensing the medications.

I do not tend to leave reviews but had to leave one regarding Creekside vet. Not a pleasant experience with putting our dog down at this vet with Dr. Navdeep Masoun Singh. Tried to start procedure after telling us to pay first and I was NOT in the room. Argument when we went back to pick up paw print  saying it's procedure and does not know if everyone was in room but does not confirm first before starting and refuse to apologize. Says we are not doctor and that's how he does it. We are not doctors (as he keeps saying) so from the first needle, to us the procedure starts there and I would assume that being the cause to most other dog owners as well. We have made many paw prints with our dog prior to our decision of putting him down but wanted a professional one. The paw print we got from them does not seem to match the one he gave us but we have no way of confirming this with proof as he says. Another note was our paw print took 3 months after we call and ask if its ready, when they said 4-6weeks max.The front desk girl told us that we should research first about different vet to make sure you pick the right one, so I would like to leave my experience so you could make your own decision. His attitude towards the situation was not very empathetic. Read Less

A girl named Jordan (My apologies if I did spell her name incorrectly) I really like how she gives me a call, just to check up and see how my kitten Luna is.

My cats have been coming here since I got them over 5 years ago. Dr. Mangat was so nice, and the new owners and vets have carried right on with excellent level of care. The whole team is compassionate, friendly and so good about explaining the procedures, results, charges and I get the sense they genuinely love all the animals they treat. They do not pressure you into getting tests or procedures done, but always have the animals best interest at the heart of what they do. Case in point, both boys are having their teeth cleaned,and one of them was looking at two extractions, but felt saving the teeth for now is better for my boy.

We brought our dog here in October because of a skin infection. The doctor was very hands on and even smelled the area that was inflamed. At the end of the visit when they gave us 3 different types of pills, a cream and a special wash, I was inwardly cringing at what the price would be. To my amazement it was only $130 including the visit and a skin test!! Our dog again had a ear infection a couple of weeks ago so we brought her in. I warned the vet (a different one) that she would need a muzzle as she doesn't like strangers. The vet instead took his time to get to know her and by the end of the visit she was licking his cheek! Very impressed from the front desk staff to the vets. I also like the new app associated with the clinic that lets you see the pets history. Read Less

Recently, I brought my 5 month old puppy and 2 year old cat in for a check up. The girls at the front were so nice and patient with me. I normally go to another veterinary hospital but decided to go to Creekside after a friend had nothing but great things to say about this clinic. Dr Mangat took us in right away and not only greeted me, but also greeted my pets by name which I thought was very nice. He recommended a flea and tick preventative for my puppy as we go to BC quite often and also discovered an ear infection which my regular vet overlooked a few times. I was concerned about my cat having a chipped tooth which he reassured me wouldn't be a problem with proper care. Dr Mangat really wow'd me with how he treated me and my pets, even holding my puppy and talking to her when she became afraid. I had such a pleasant experience that I switched vets and already made an appointment to get my puppy spayed here. I highly recommend coming to Creekside Veterinarian Hospital. Read Less

I recommend them to everyone and I will now be bringing in our other two cats as well. Thank you so much everyone at Creekside!I took our cat Kreamie  in for a check up and to look at a sore that he keeps scratching at. The clinic was very clean and the ladies greeted me and were super friendly. The doctor got him in and he needs to go on a diet(fat boy). The sore turns out to be a skin tag that can be removed with a simple surgery while put under. The Dr recommended a blood test for the senior check up(what they called it) and to see if it's safe to put him under for the surgery for the sore removal. Tests came back and he has the starting signs of kidney disease. The short and the long of it is that he could pass in the next year but since we caught it early, with check ups he could live a good life with a change in diet(fat boy needed it anyway) and meds.  They set me up with new food and the meds and told me what needs to be done to keep him around but I will have to keep on him about not picking at his sore, not worth the risk for surgery.

Thoroughly unimpressed. Got our new puppy a couple weeks ago as a rescue and she seemed great at first then had some symptoms that suggested she wasn't feeling well like runny nose and diarrhea so I decided to move up to appointment I had made for the following week just to be on the safe side. She had a full exam and I expressed my concerns which garnered no concern from the vet. He said she might have a virus but seems healthy so she's fine. One concern I expressed as well was about how itchy she seemed and her flaky skin so he suggested some topical oil. So I left feeling my pup was fine and spent the 100$ to get her looked at plus 25 for the skin stuff and away I went. Not even a week later she started vomiting long after having eaten ;8+ hours) so I took her back and again expressed my concerns which again were brushed off and he said maybe she needs some food that will help her digest better and that he didn't want to get too much into diagnostics yet and just to monitor her. I was again charged for the appointment and the suggested food to the tune of 120$. Low and behold the very same night my poor puppy had worm filled feces and is not doing well at all. I am disappointed at not only being charged 300$ and given specialty products to address the symptoms but more importantly the lack of regard shown for my pup's wellbeing. In hindsight it should have been a red flag that he was not concerned about any sort of diagnostics and instead suggested products they sell but regardless of the money spent, if she had something more serious like parvo or distemper that kind of apathy could have cost my pup her life.

Grrrr - pretty mad right now!We are just home from this vet clinic just now with our 2 indoor cats RE vaccinations and yearly check ups. On the phone a couple of weeks ago, my husband was quoted $85 per cat for check up and shots. That is what I was used to paying in another province, so we were good to go. Close to our new home, this clinic was our choice and it was our first time there today.The paperwork to be filled out was normal, took a bit but afterwards, the vet was prompt, courteous and kind to our fur babies. No complaints about his care and his availability to answer questions and talk to us. He even detected that one of our cats had a heart murmur which he was born with, without us even having told him. (OR he simply looked at our cat's history chart obtained from our previous vet in ON, hard to say for sure)What pisses me off is that the bill came to $315, almost double what we were quoted on the phone. They knew going in we just wanted the basic shots but they added another $50 for rabies (needed yes, but we figured that was in the basic cost, was just surprised) and another $80 (deworming pills - not needed). What we budgeted for is not what we paid and although they went over the bill with us at the end, they had to know we were ticked.I know that vets shaft often and that pet owners are at their mercy. BUT I encourage anyone going to this clinic to go over the costs IN PERSON prior to your pet being seen.The clinic loses 2 stars for its billing procedures.We want to keep a good relationship with them but there needs to be some accountability and professional etiquette.DO NOT allow yourself to be nagged into de-worming pills as they ask over and over again saying it is for the good of your pet unless you wish to get them.
