While we have heard the stories, this clinic has done nothing but good things for are dogs. When our cat was sick he brought him back from the brink and he lived another 9 years. My Dog had a reaction to the vaccines this year, and broke out in hives. I called the office and he stayed open late to treat her and within an hour or two the hives were gone and the next day she was fine. Read Less

The vet was 30 minutes late for our pre-scheduled appointment. Then literally spent less than 3 minutes with us administering my cat's shots.While he checked her eyes and teeth he did not weigh her or ask any questions about her behaviour or advise of how she would respond to the shots, whether any further shots would be required or information about the shot he was administering. Then he gives me the bill - $140 ($80+ of which was for his supposed "consultation"). When I called him out on it he said I was free to take my business elsewhere. I responded that I absolutely would and that if I treated client's that way I wouldn't have a job, he then got irate and raised his voice to me in front of my 1 year old daughter. MY ADVICE, AVOID THIS PLACE! Read Less

The vet may be fine but the clerk monopolizes you with endless talk and talk and talk and talk. 20 words where 2 will do. In a hurry? Holding a heavy pet? talk talk talk talk talk.

A vet not to be trusted. His competency is truly questionable. He is biased. He took an x-ray of our sweet little dog and completely misdiagnosed the results as a tumor which would be spreading quickly. And gerne just went ahead instead just went with his recommendation of putting him down right the same day before 6pm without any hesitation of suggesting any alternatives. A bit harsh as a vet! I guess it showed his true colors. We will never use him as a vet again. Absolutely dreadful! We went to the other vet at the clinic and he took blood samples and looked at the x-ray in which he diagnosed an enlarged heart due to the heart murmur condition he is suffering from. This is common among this breed and hence his examination was just and this of course more credible. He also prescribed medication to linder the process. Which he is now taking. And thanks to this treatment our dog is feeling much better. This is just a warning to those Newbies in town. Be on high alert with this vet. Read Less

So impressed !!! I met Dr Hughes last night when we called him in shortly after midnight for an emergency. He was so gentle & caring with our tiny Yorkie and kept giving me updates what was happening. We had to leave our puppy as it was going to take a few hours in surgery.. He contacted me immediately after he had him settle in and gave another update (no surgery required) first thing in the morning another call with an update how his night went.. There's no words to express how caring this Dr is. Thank you Michael very much from the Paul Family.. Read Less

Dr. Hughes was referred to me by a friend and I cannot be more happier with their recommendation. The clinic has not only helped our family with looking after our family member Fauna, but Dr. Hughes has personally called every night while she stayed in their care, that goes above and beyond in my opinion. Fauna is an older cat who we believe is not only a member of our family but we feel we have treated her well, when people like the clinic take the the time and care in looking after members of your family then please take piece of mind that the clinic will take good care of your family members as well. Oh and one other little thing that Dr. Hughes and his staff were able to do....today is Christmas Eve.....our Fauna is coming home for Christmas.....how awesome is that.......Thank you from the bottom of our hearts......Phil Bailey, Norman Wells.Read Less
