Our doodle has received the best care from Dr.Cruise. He provides all the options but never pushes unnecessary procedures.

I was completely horrified at the service I received for my Greyhound when he received a large gash near his stomach. Dr. Goosen cut away one inch of skin and then tried to sew it together without knotting it correctly resulting in the stitches coming apart and my dog being in extreme pain. I am not sure why we need to pay for incompetence. Maybe she should resort to grooming rather than medical treatment because she clearly isn't capable to treating a large breed animal. I literally will never return to Southeast. This is the second time I have had an issue with her and not willing to put any more of my animals at risk. You are better off checking with Dr. Google and doing it yourself. Read Less

We had a good experience bringing our daughter's new puppy there to get all the shots with the Vet, unfortunately the receptionist with the dark hair & glasses at the front was very rude & unfriendly. She made us feel like we were a real inconvenience to her and interrupting her. Wouldn't hurt for her to smile a little & make people feel welcomed. Not very professional. We will still return just hopefully she has a better attitude towards the clients. Read Less

If you're looking for an affordable vet clinic AND service that is outstanding... look no further!! I used to be a "go where the price is cheapest" kind of dog mom. That is until I walked into the doors of South East Vet Clinic for the first time. I was greeted with a smile, a warm welcome and the service is by far the BEST I've ever experienced. And honestly... so are the prices.From the staff at the front desk to the doctors behind the scenes, I would give them 5 stars every single time. They have worked with me on many occasions and do what's best for me and my four legged babies. They have gone above and beyond for us and they ACTUALLY CARE, follow up and help me understand everything that I need to know to provide my fur babies the best care possible. Read Less

One of the most professional Vet's in the business! We have used them for several years now and find their combined knowledge on all our animals, from our horses & cattle to our smaller indoor pets, outstanding. They are personable and really seem to care about their well-being. The office staff are quick to assist and find answers to our questions. Special shout out to our Dr. Gwenda Olson and especially Kayla, the friendly, bubbly blonde in front. The genuine love she shows for our dogs shines through every time! Read Less

I've been bringing my fur family to SE Vet for 20 yrs. They've been awesome. One time our pigmy goat was having problems during delivery...of course on a long weekend. Brought her in and she was seen immediately....we were told all ok, she just wasn't ready to give birth yet. When we asked how much for visit he said nothing. He just said "you'll be back". And we were 2 days later and now Monday of long weekend. He ended up having to do a C-section. Very reasonably priced . Just last weekend I was bringing my dog for annual vet check and made the decision that morning to bring my senior cat in to be put to sleep...which of course, was a very hard decision. I called and the gentlemen I spoke with was very empathetic and accommodated me without hesitation. When I arrived staff were very warm and welcoming and very compassionate. Awesome team! Read Less

Quality of care highly depends upon the particular vet that you see. The last vet I saw was fine in regards to treating our cat, but still insisted we be billed for additional after hours call expenses, despite calling and being in the clinic before it closed on Saturday. Different stories from everyone you talk to regarding billing issues. Reception said it wasn't after hours when we initially called for an appointment and to come in because the vet was already on his way back to the clinic. Then the vet said himself he couldn't quote costs because he didn't handle billing, but the clinic would call on the following Monday with the total costs. Clinic called and said that the vets handle all billing themselves there were after hours charges regardless because the clinic closes to small animals at 1pm despite it not listed on their website or being told when you call in. Overall, it's a clinic that's very money oriented compared to care directed. We gave them a second chance after a previous bad experience with a different vet at Southeast (animal still needed to be taken elsewhere after seeing the vet on that previous occasion) but after these billing issues and hearing different versions of expenses from 3 different people, I can't say I'd ever bother going back. Everyone just loves having a bill doubled days before Christmas and whIle being in a clinic before closing and when nothing was said about such beforehand, including on their website. It's about money, not care. (I was contacted by the clinic. They had requested that this review be removed in its entirety, I'm not prepared to do that as I still feel it's an authentic review. I have increased my overall rating to a neutral standpoint, I'm willing to state that the amounts we feel we were overcharged for after-hours visits while the clinic was still open have been removed. I will maintain that given the number of different rates and charges utilized by the clinic, this information needs to be made readily available. Hours and charges as they vary between animals, time, appointment, etc, really should be shown on their website, clinic door, pamphlet or display in the clinic...anywhere clients would normally view information. Have I seen such an array of different charges elsewhere? No, in over 25yrs as a breeder, I have not and clients should at very least ask and be aware of and ask questions regarding all billing costs beforehand. It was fair and reasonable charges were corrected by the clinic, I feel this ammendment reflects the entire experience fairly.) Read Less
