Hoke Animal Clinic
Birmingham, Alabama
General Info
The veterinary services at Hoke Animal Clinic in Birmingham focus on initiating proactive dialogues alongside developing gradual care plans while engaging in collaborative decision-making processes with pet families throughout Alabama. 医疗约会通常以患者行为记录、家庭日常活动报告以及自上次会面以来的任何问题更新为开端。 Veterinarians assess body condition alongside weight stability while evaluating oral health and gait patterns in addition to skin sensitivity and joint range of motion. Through these evaluations veterinarians can identify hidden health problems while tailoring medical attention according to the pet’s specific age group, breed characteristics, and living conditions. The range of available services includes lab testing, parasite control, nutrition guidance, senior pet support and pain management. The emergence of medical conditions like arthritis and chronic allergies alongside GI problems prompts the development of detailed step-by-step treatment plans. Before proceeding owners receive information about various care pathways along with detailed timelines results and costs. Hoke Animal Clinic provides support to families managing post-surgery care along with chronic medication regimens and multi-pet household needs. Every visit triggers an update to centralized records. Clients obtain written care summaries plus home instructions and reminders which maintain continuous clarity and follow-through. The professional group at Hoke Animal Clinic maintains communication channels open for inquiries during intervals between appointments. Families in Birmingham recognize how pet care develops while maintaining focus whether it involves mobility support for senior pets or wellness exams for puppies. The simultaneous presence of consistent care and adaptable strategies enables Alabama's pets to flourish throughout their various life stages.

Expensive. Facility poorly maintained. Great staff but double the cost of other vets for a filthy facility. No thanks. Held on for as long as I could but not worth it at all.

We've been here twice because our primary vet has inconvenient hours for us a few days a week. The first time, both my dogs needed one single vaccine and a nail trim. I arrived on time to the appointment (and was the only one in the waiting room) and had to wait for almost an hour to see the vet. Then they gave my dogs a full workup and multiple vaccines without asking me or telling me and charged me $450. They remedied the bill, but the lack of communication is the issue here.
Today, one of my dogs needs minor dental surgery. We made the appointment on Monday and the vet told us when to drop off and pick up. When we arrived today (Wednesday) to drop my dog off for surgery, they had no record of our appointment and also forgot to tell us that my dog shouldn't have eaten that morning. They ended up working it out but we had to wait an extra hour to pick her up.
The doctors seem friendly and knowledgeable which is the only reason I give this place ANY stars, but we won't be returning!

Great staff (Vetinarians, Vet Tech's, & Administrative Staff are all very knowledgeable, kind, caring, compassionate, treat you like family, considerate & generally awesome), conveniently located, great hours, all services available.

After our other vet office closed, we decided to go with the convenience of location with our next choice of vet. With Hoke being very close to our house and directly in front of the place where we board her, it seemed this was the best choice for us. Let me start by saying that our dog is extremely hyperactive and loves new people and places. So whenever we go here, she is going nuts. But the staff is so friendly and love petting her, giving her treats, and tolerating her constant movement.This last visit was after our dog was limping and we noticed a spot on her foot. The vet we saw said although that spot was tender, he thought she hurt her leg besides that. A few days later when I realized that spot on her foot wasn't sensitive, I knew he must be right. He did not want to do an unnecessary x-ray which I'm sure saved quite a bit of money. He also gave her a shot that didn't even phase her. All of the doctors we have met are very informative, explain things well, and most importantly, genuinely care about our dog and her comfort. As someone who treats their dog like their own child, I really appreciate how the staff treats our pup.

Overall a frustrating experience. The receptionist working that day not only tried to insult my intelligence, but also went as far as to threaten to not allow my dog to be treated. She insisted that if my dog did not receive two more vaccinations I would be refused service. I understand the importance of immunizations, but my dog was already suffering from a UTI, and my limited budget would not stretch for another $80 in vaccines that same day. Now, six days out from our original appointment and two unreturned phone calls later, I still have not been able to get the results of my dog's urinalysis. I thoroughly regret the amount of time and money that I have had to spend towards their services.

I only lived near Hoke Animal Clinic for a few years, so my pup spent a small portion of his life being cared being these fine folks. With that said, I can guarantee you it was among the best care he received. While these weren't the Vets that helped raise my dog, they immediately showed great interest. Everyone always remembered his name and what had happened on previous visits. I realize they have charts, but I could tell they actually cared.If this clinic is convenient to you, I suggest you bring your best friend by to see them.

I urge all of my friends to bring their pets to Hoke. All of the doctors are wonderful, but I'm especially a fan of Dr. Jennifer Dexter. She cried after my previous cat's death, and I find so much security in having a doctor who cares so deeply. Each team member is welcoming and attentive to my cats' needs. I'm so grateful to have found a safe, welcoming place for my pets at Hoke.

Like! Our dog of 12 years died over a year ago, and I am beginning to look for another! Looking for young, potty trained, not much shedding, small (under 20 lbs.), female, and friendly. If you hear of someone, due to circumstances, who needs to re-home their dog, I might be interested. Although, I would love a Westhighland Terrier, a mixed is fine!.

We have used Hoke for years and would not think of going any other place. We have one dog who is old and has severe arthritis. There's something special about a Vet who will get down in the floor to take blood and/or examine him. The rest of the Vets at Hoke are equally amazing! All 3 of our "babies" are patients with this clinic and they greet us all (people and human) by name when we walk in the door.

I brought my dog to Hoke Animal Clinic after he received a horribly botched neuter from another clinic. His incision had developed a pretty nasty infection. My parents take their dogs there so after hearing their enthusiastic recommendation, I decided to bring him in to get looked at. They were amazing, Dr. Tucker right away saw what the other vet had done wrong, immediately gave him an antibiotic shot and a few days worth of antibiotics. Three days later, his incision is much less swollen, faded from a dark shade of red to light pink, and most important, Waylon (my dog) seems much more comfortable. And I, much less worried :) I can not recommend Hoke Animal Clinic more enthusiastically. They care about the animals they treat.
