Nall Daniels has always been good to us. I've always been wary of local vets because they all have terrible reviews and it makes a lot of places look sketch. They have been willing and able to give us quotes for treatments so that we can make the best decisions for our cats based on our income. Our cat Bubbles was diagnosed with bone cancer. The vet did everything she could to get the right diagnosis and give us as many options as available. They could not treat her there but she offered info for treatment elsewhere. We really felt that everything had been done that could be done. I definitely recommend this place 100% Read Less

In the year or so I’ve used Nall-Daniels I found them to be competent veterinarians, but based on exam costs I had begun to wonder if their prices were high. So when it was time to have my pug spayed, I decided to get quotes from two of the highest rated vets in Homewood. The prices I was quoted by them were very close to each other... $250 and $260. I then called Nall-Daniels for a quote. I was very surprised to hear an amazing price of $823. When they heard me gasp over the phone they quickly added that this was a worse case estimate. I quickly thanked them for the estimate and moved my vet account for my 3 dogs to one of the two highly rated vets that gave me more reasonable estimates. I wondered later what was included in a worst case scenario! A Heart transplant? Read Less

The service I received at Nall-Daniel Pet Hospital far exceeded my expectations! Nall-Daniel’s provides a variety of veterinary services including well pet check ups, grooming, surgery, and prescriptions. We went there for our yearly check up and vaccinations for our two dogs; a senior Golden Retriever, and a six year old mutt. The entrance was very clean and clam. When we got called back, we were in a decent sized examination room with a vet tech, I can’t remember his name, but he was a very kind and patient young man with brown hair. He was very thorough with us; he listened to and answered all of our questions. He even provided us with a printed out quote of what all the shots, the visit, and the treatment for the ear infection that our Golden had, before performing any procedures. Then, Dr. Dunaway came in to examine them. She immediately got down in the floor and started loving on the boys. You could see her passion for animal care when she came in the room. She was very articulate and detail oriented, laying out all of the treatment options for the ear infection and recommending medication for his arthritis, too. Her bedside manner was impeccable and I felt listened to and informed as she explained everything that she was doing. We never felt rushed, even as it got near closing time. All in all, it was a wonderful experience. I had called fifteen clinic before choosing this one. The reason I chose them in the first place was because they were one of the most affordable. Sometimes, affordability comes at the expense of the quality of care, but not here. I could tell they genuinely cared about the well being of our animals, and I think that we have found a lifelong vet! I can not recommend them enough! Read Less

My family and I adopted our Eevee from G.B.H.S. She and I loved the staff, the attention, and how beyond professional everyone was during her visit last week. Since our visit we have gotten follow up calls checking in on Eevee to ensure her transition into our home is on track, and positive. She was quite thin when we adopted her so there were weight concerns, but those have since subsided as she is gaining weight appropriately, and continues to amaze us everyday as does her new Vet Office, and all their wonderful staff members. Thanks everyone for being so AMAZING! :) Read Less

Dr. Dunaway and everyone at Nall Daniels were the best to my dog Kaya. She got into an accident the day before I got married out of town and had to have two surgeries while I was gone, they made it so easy for me because I knew she was in the best care possible, and they were always helpful when I called to check up on her. After that whenever we came in for minor things Kaya walked in like Norm from Cheers and everyone always greeted her. I had to make the toughest decision last week to let my beloved go and everyone was so great. I will always remember how loving Cody and Dr Dunaway were during that horrible moment. They were a bright light in an otherwise dark place, I truly cannot thank everyone at Nall Daniels enough. Read Less

Last week I had to make the difficult decision to put my sweet dog of 15 years to sleep. I had recently made Nall Daniels my vet and had only needed to bring my dog in a few times before she died. Although the prices are not low (comparable to other vets, but all are high these days it seems!) the care she received was excellent, the staff was very friendly, and every time I brought her in I received calls to check on her in a day or two. When I brought her in a week ago, I knew it was probably going to be time to put her down. She was suffering and could no longer walk. The staff at Nalls Daniel couldn't have been more kind, caring, gentle, thoughtful, and patient with me and my family. They made the process as personal and easy as it could be made. They took good care of my dog and of me until the end. They were respectful of me and my wishes during this heartbreaking time. Today I returned from a luncheon to find beautiful flowers waiting on my porch in memory of Mini from the staff at Nalls Daniel. I am overwhelmed at their kindness. Thank you, Nalls Daniel, for caring for my sweet furry friend... and for caring for my heart today as I've been missing her so much.Read Less

My dogs have been going to Nall Daniels for the past 1.5 years. They have slightly later hours than some vets, which has been nice with my work schedule. The longest we have ever sat in the waiting room is less than 5 minutes, although wait times once you reach the exam room is about average for most vets. I do think that their prices are high, but not exorbitant. The vets are very attentive and seem thorough. They actually call you to follow-up if your pet has been sick. My only complaint about this vet is the fact that they always say they are just taking my dogs to the back for weight and temperature readings only, but actually keep them back there for lengthy periods of time (up to 30 minutes at one point). I usually go looking for my dogs, only to be told that they went ahead and did the full exam etc. in the back without me present. I have a serious problem with this practice, because there is simply no way for me to know exactly what was done with/to my dogs without being present. During our last visit, which I thought was just for shots, they supposedly did a full exam with fecal and heartworm tests in addition to giving 3 shots. I NEVER gave permission for a full exam to be done. The cost for my two dogs was over $300 for this service. I was also never given the results for their heartworm or fecal tests, and my dogs had no bubbles under the skin indicating where shots were given. Since they are very short-haired and slender, I have never once seen my dogs get shots without a resulting raised area. I asked the tech to please point out where the shots were given so that I wouldn't push on the area, and the technician could not locate or indicate where the shots were administered. As such, I can't really be sure that the shots were given. After this, I requested that all examinations or services be done in my presence, and asked the administrative staff to document this request in my chart. Recently, I brought one of my dogs in for a possible illness. We had discussed possibly taking x-rays before I actually brought my dog in, but we agreed to discuss this after the examination and before the x-rays were taken to see if it was even necessary. Once again, my dog was taken to the back just for a weight/temp reading, and kept back there for 20 minutes. When I finally found someone to tell me what was going on, the vet had yet again supposedly fully examined my dog and had already done x-rays without even consulting me. A vet should always consult the owner and discuss prices before rendering any services. I understand that it may be easier for the vet techs to do certain procedures without owners present, since we can get in the way. However, no vet employee should tell the pet owner they are doing one thing, then go ahead and provide all services without the owner present. I am left feeling uncertain whether my dogs have received appropriate care, simply because I didn't see it. Nall Daniels may be an outstanding vet that simply doesn't follow the common practice of having the doctor examine animals with the owner present in an examination room, but I personally don't see how they can charge for a comprehensive examination if the owner can't see that one is really being done.

My only complaint about this vet is the fact that they always say they are just taking my dogs to the back for weight and temperature readings only, but actually keep them back there for lengthy periods of time (up to 30 minutes at one point). I usually go looking for my dogs, only to be told that they went ahead and did the full exam etc. in the back without me present. I have a serious problem with this practice, because there is simply no way for me to know exactly what was done with/to my dogs without being present. During our last visit, which I thought was just for shots, they supposedly did a full exam with fecal and heartworm tests in addition to giving 3 shots. I NEVER gave permission for a full exam to be done. The cost for my two dogs was over $300 for this service. I was also never given the results for their heartworm or fecal tests, and my dogs had no bubbles under the skin indicating where shots were given. Since they are very short-haired and slender, I have never once seen my dogs get shots without a resulting raised area. I asked the tech to please point out where the shots were given so that I wouldn't push on the area, and the technician could not locate or indicate where the shots were administered. As such, I can't really be sure that the shots were given. After this, I requested that all examinations or services be done in my presence, and asked the administrative staff to document this request in my chart. Recently, I brought one of my dogs in for a possible illness. We had discussed possibly taking x-rays before I actually brought my dog in, but we agreed to discuss this after the examination and before the x-rays were taken to see if it was even necessary. Once again, my dog was taken to the back just for a weight/temp reading, and kept back there for 20 minutes. When I finally found someone to tell me what was going on, the vet had yet again supposedly fully examined my dog and had already done x-rays without even consulting me. A vet should always consult the owner and discuss prices before rendering any services. I understand that it may be easier for the vet techs to do certain procedures without owners present, since we can get in the way. However, no vet employee should tell the pet owner they are doing one thing, then go ahead and provide all services without the owner present. I am left feeling uncertain whether my dogs have received appropriate care, simply because I didn't see it. Nall Daniels may be an outstanding vet that simply doesn't follow the common practice of having the doctor examine animals with the owner present in an examination room, but I personally don't see how they can charge for a comprehensive examination if the owner can't see that one is really being done.
