Greatest vet ever works at Smoky Hill. I'd follow her anywhere. If you want a vet that cares about your fur babies as much as you do... Take your babies to see Dr. Stephanie Brand.

This place was absolutely amazing! This morning I brought my fur-baby in with an emergency. I thought she was having a stroke and when I went in for help, without hesitation they came out to my car and helped her in. We were met with warmth, kindness and absolute compassion. Their entire staff assisted us swiftly to help make sure she was comfortable while performing tests. They even went as far as to bring a clean blanket for her to lay on. They made sure to explain everything to us and each process they were taking. Their warm reception helped to ease our baby and the entire staff went out of their way to make her and my husband and I relaxed and comfortable. I cannot say enough and highly recommend them! Thank you Smoky Hill!! Read Less

The staff here make this place exceptional. They truly care for your pet and it shows. They communicate and follow up with the care and respect that your pet is a member of your family. I like that they offer grooming and other services and we brought our new puppy there for his first check up and were sold. This isn't the newest or most flashy but it's exceptional and you will notice the moment you are greeted at the door. Highly recommend this place to any first timer and family looking for a great vet. Read Less

Such a wonderful place.  My only complaint is that it is HUGELY expensive.  I had my 2 cats in on Tuesday and it was 400 bucks for vaccines and exams.  I mean I have needed to have my cats teeth cleaned for over a year and I cannot afford the 800 dollars each it will cost. There has got to be a way to get the cost down.  When you have to choose between groceries for the week or treatment for a cat, the cat is going to loose. Read Less

My family has been taking our pets here for the last 20ish years. They always treat us well. They understand when things come up and our dogs and cats are treated like family. They mourned with us when we have had to put dogs down and were overjoyed when we found new fur babies to call ours. They are always great.

After a super unfortunate and heartbreaking loss of a pet who had dental surgery at a different vets office (pet palace, they are garbage) we found this vet clinic when we found out our oldest dog needed dental surgery also. We took him there and not only did they stick to their original estimate even after they had to pull nearly double the amount of teeth but they took excellent care of him. We go here for everything from grooming to check ups to vaccines and they take great care of both of our fur babies! Read Less

My cat was very sick this week and with miscommunication my mom accidentally took her back to our old vet (smoky hill) and thank goodness she did! They were so nice and got her in right away!

Truly amazing place and staff that will go out of their way to treat your furry family like their own. My black lab puppy has been fairly accident prone and they have always given her top notch care. Even for regular check ups and things they will go above and beyond. Today we took our two cats in for an annual checkup and our 3 year old daughter brought a stuffed animal cat in to get a check up as well. What we weren't expecting is for Whiskers the stuffed kitty to get a full check up and "medicine" to go home with. Our whole family loves this place whenever we go in. Read Less

I really don't understand the bad reviews, but that's neither here nor there. Every time I have brought my cat into Smoky Hill Veterinary Clinic they provide outstanding service. They are patient with their patient (your pet) and their owner in asking as many questions as you'd like. They completed a procedure on my cat in May of 2014 and were very great at following up on her for months after. Additionally, they recently looked at my cat after a scary situation and took some blood work and gave me a diagnosis and gameplan right away. I'm not even taking cost into account here because of how important my cat being taken care of is to me. If you want cheap, I'm sure you'll have to expect cheap service too. Read Less

Just wanted to say that my girl Cassie received the BEST service and care from Dr Stephanie Brand at Smoky Hill Veterinary Clinic! This is my new Doctor for my dog and have to say that I am thrilled with the excellent level of professionalism and truly amazing care they provided to my dog Cassie today. Yesterday I took my dog to another vet hospital in the area for an infection on my dog's paw. I thought maybe a thorn had gotten in top of her paw since her paw was swollen. The "other" vet wouldn't even look at her paw under the light like I requested or with a magnifying glass like I requested and just prescribed meds. I felt very uncomfortable with the really bad service at the "other" place so I made an appt at Smoky Hill Veterinary Clinic today and Dr Brand cleaned her paw and inspected it with the magnifying glass and special glasses with lights in them and did a thorough exam of my girl.

Then, when I asked if they would trim my puppy's nails, they said yes, without telling me there would be a $17 charge. That's ridiculous! Plus, they made him cry!

I was en route to Banfield after my mastiff had been attacked by a couple of rottweilers. After sticking me on a lengthy hold, they informed me they couldn't get her in for close to 3 hours.

They're ok. Great front desk people, but the vet that saw my Savannah cat was a little much.  It felt like she kept trying to upsell me on vet services and get me to change my cat's food to Science Diet even after I told her he pooped blood when he ate Science Diet.  Do vets get kickbacks for that or what??  I'm sticking with Blue Buffalo Wilderness; my cat loves it and he's been very healthy on it - I should not have to defend it further than that.  She also tried to upsell me on vet services.  $400+ to clean a 1 yr old cat's teeth.  Instead I bought him some dental treats.  She said she felt a loose tooth and said that maybe bad dental problems were characteristic to the Savannah breed (they're not).  I got in touch with a vet who I knew saw other Savannahs in Black Hawk (far) and Savannahs are a very healthy breed, less than 30 years old with no known inbreeding problems or physical issues ect.  Since he is a hybrid wild cat/domestic cat he takes longer to mature than domestic cats.  His loose tooth was just a baby tooth, so I'm really glad I did not spend the $$$ on their teeth cleaning for my kitten.I did ask them to clean out his ears which they said they could wipe out while he was awake and he scratched them.  I don't fault them for this though.  I cleaned them myself at home just fine when I tried but I'm pretty sure that just has to do with him trusting me and nothing wrong with the vet techs, they seem to be really nice.   I think I will go again, but ask for a different vet.  I did not have any issues with his neutering/shots/microchipping appointment, other than my cat hated me and only loved my husband for a while. Tip: the candles they sell at the front desk are awesome! Read Less

I have been bringing both of my cats here for the past five years and don't have any complaints. Most recently my kitten had surgery here and had to stay the night.

I have been going to Smoky Hill Vet for almost 15 years.  Yesterday, I took my two very little dogs in for their annual physicals.  The cost has gone up! The physical for a West Highland Terrier and Chihuahua came to $438.00! Then, I was told they would need their back teeth cleaned and that they were having a 40% off sale on their dental services.  If I decide to let Smoky Hill Vet Clinic do the dental (I always have in the past 15 years with my prior two dogs), the cost would total $618.00 for two dogs! And that is with 40% off! So, if you add another 40% to that dollar amount, the regular cost of back teeth cleaning for two little dogs would cost $865.20! If you add the cost of the two dog physicals with the discounted dental, it would total $1,056.00! If you added the cost of the two dogs physical with the dental not discounted at 40%, it would total $1,303.20! That is ridiculous! After 15 years, I am going to shop around dental prices with other Vets.  They can use all of the records from blood work, etc. from the annual physical I had done by Smoky Hill Vet, for dental work else where.  I may even change Vet clinics, due to the recent greedy high prices charged by Smoky Hill Vet now. You can pay for a lot of college with $1,303.20, or make a house payment.  Stay tuned.  I'll post my outcome, especially if I find a better priced Vet, equally qualified to be allowed to take care of my beloved dogs!

I brought my cat in to check on a swollen foot, the cat had no trouble putting weight on the foot, but the vet insisted I put him threw x-rays. They took him in another room and the vet informed me I should put him down because of his age, nothing to do with his foot. I told her his is active and happy, she insisted over and over until I make it clear. After 15 minutes a vet assistant ran into the room and told me my cat was dying, I ran to the other room where they had him on a steel table with a mask attached to his face. I took the mask off of him and grabbed him and ran to my car. My wife stayed to pay them the $200 they wanted for the check up and x-ray that was impossible to make anything out on. The vet said he was brain dead and would be dead before we got home. He had a stroke when they were doing whatever they were doing to him in that room, I took him home and he slowly recovered somewhat. Half his face was no longer functional, and he stopped walking around much, but his foot went back to normal. He lived another month until he stopped eating, and I was forced to have a vet service come to my home to put him down. Before I went to Smoky Hill Vet. Clinic my cat ran around and jumped up on the couch with me, they changed that in a 30 minute "check-up". A different vet later told me that swollen feet happen to older cats and its no big deal. The vet at Smoky HIll was an older lady, she was extremely confident in her opinions and pushy, I am not confident in her knowledge, and was very dissappointed in her lack of compassion. She upsold me on the x-ray which was un-nessasary, un-productive and unwise givin that my cat was old and clearly scared. She attempted to upsell  me on killing my cat for another $200 dollars. I don't know what they did to my cat in that room, and I wont speculate, but I'm very, very suspicous and saddend by the whole experience. I will never get another pet. Read Less

Front office staff is very friendly and will get you in quickly. However, I would not recommend taking a pet there. 1.) They charge outrageous prices. 2.) Seems when I recently took my dog there that they were more interested in money than trying to figure out what was wrong with her.After my dog became sick we immediately got her into the vet. They looked her over and provided us with an estimate for her care. We went ahead and had some tests run. Was charged for things we did not ask to be done to her that they took the liberty of doing on their own. After 3 days my dog went downhill and we took her elsewhere for a 2nd opinion. Smoky Hill lied right to our face about her condition. Not only were we told her platelets were fine, but was also told she just tweaked her back. Instead, we found out at the 2nd vet that she had at some time a spinal stroke which caused her back legs to get weak. And her platelets were VERY low and she was bleeding internally. Needless to say at that point we could not save our dog as it was too late. I will never take another pet to them. They are money hungry and don't care about your pets. Read Less

We were new to the area, and our old vet retired. Our 16 1/2 year old dog Abby was pretty ill and we did make the dreaded decision to go ahead and euthanasie her since her quality of life was not good. I had been driving by the Smokey Hill Vet clinic everyday and something told me that was the right place to go. I called and spoke with Ashley, she was very kind and patient with me explaining the procedure. We arrived the next day and were greeted with amazing staff. We felt they really did understand what a hard decision it was for us to make about our dog Abby. They offered a nice quiet room for us, no pressure toget this done quickly ~ as a matter of fact, they told us to take as much time as we needed. We did, and then doctor Jorgensen came in and made it so nice for us and our dog. She even hugged us, sharing in our grief. When we left, we were sad, yet felt it was right. I know that the caring staff made our experience and our dog Abby's so much better, and for this we thank you! We will return with our other 2 healthy dogs as we have found the right Vet for our pets. Read Less

I have been taking my animals to Smokey Hill Vets on an as needed basis since 2001. Initially I found both their professionalism and prices to be very good and I even recommended them to my friends. This year, however, I have been profoundly disappointed with their service. They are demanding an unnecessary examination to be done on my cat before they’ll allow me to buy a simple back of Science Diet cat food. The only reason my cat started on the food 9 years ago was to prevent a recurring health problem, and it worked. He’s healthy as long as he gets the right food. There’s nothing to examine. Yet in a transparent effort to drum up business on unnecessary services they refuse to sell me the food. I’m furious with their foolish need to sell unneeded service and I will NEVER use them again. Other vets will sell me the food without a fight…why can’t they?! Read Less

I've used Smoky Hill Vet Clinic for quite some time and for the basics like vaccinations, spay and neuter, heartworm testing and medication they are great, but if your dog or cat is sick and it isn't absolutely obvious what is wrong, go somewhere else. I have decided to leave the clinic after they repeatedly misdiagnosed or failed to diagnose potentially life threatening conditions in my dogs. In virtually every case, I have dropped several hundred at Smoky Hill only to have to go to Alameda East or the VRCC in the end to get my dog diagnosed properly and cured. Don't get me wrong, I do think the vets at Smoky Hill are caring - they just tend to be inexperienced (the best ones have tended to leave after 6 months to a year) and not have access to necessary diagnostic equipment. Dr. Mueller who owns the clinic is quite nice and experienced but he is almost always on-call seeing horses outside the clinic. Read Less

They're ok. Great front desk people, but the vet that saw my Savannah cat was a little much.  It felt like she kept trying to upsell me on vet services and get me to change my cat's food to Science Diet even after I told her he pooped blood when he ate Science Diet.  Do vets get kickbacks for that or what??  I'm sticking with Blue Buffalo Wilderness; my cat loves it and he's been very healthy on it - I should not have to defend it further than that.  She also tried to upsell me on vet services.  $400+ to clean a 1 yr old cat's teeth.  Instead I bought him some dental treats.  She said she felt a loose tooth and said that maybe bad dental problems were characteristic to the Savannah breed (they're not).  I got in touch with a vet who I knew saw other Savannahs in Black Hawk (far) and Savannahs are a very healthy breed, less than 30 years old with no known inbreeding problems or physical issues ect.  Since he is a hybrid wild cat/domestic cat he takes longer to mature than domestic cats.  His loose tooth was just a baby tooth, so I'm really glad I did not spend the $$$ on their teeth cleaning for my kitten.I did ask them to clean out his ears which they said they could wipe out while he was awake and he scratched them.  I don't fault them for this though.  I cleaned them myself at home just fine when I tried but I'm pretty sure that just has to do with him trusting me and nothing wrong with the vet techs, they seem to be really nice.   I think I will go again, but ask for a different vet.  I did not have any issues with his neutering/shots/microchipping appointment, other than my cat hated me and only loved my husband for a while.

The women at the front check in (all I met who are not doctors) are very sweet and professional. I took my pup in because of frequent urination, I thought maybe uti. She was misdiagnosed, dr said their equip malfunctioned. I was sold $56 worth of antibiotics she didn't need and charged $195 for the whole thing. I asked if they would buy back the leftover meds and was told no because they couldn't resell them. They should have refunded half my money at the least. I won't be going back and will surely tell everyone I know Read Less

Dr. Sharyn Esposito is an exceptional exotic veterinarian. Our organization has been privileged to use her services for over 15 years. I have used her for my own personal animals for 18. She is very skilled, helpful and spot on in her diagnoses. She is resourceful and an asset to her community, her concern for her fellow creatures is genuine and she is very generous with her time and abilities. You can take her advice to the bank and know that she IS concerned for your animal and committed to helping you. I would follow her to any practice privileged to employee her (which I have) and the day she retires she will be greatly missed.

The staff at Smoky Hill Vet are amazing. From the front desk staff to the actual vets- they all care so much for animals and it shows. I have been bringing both of my cats here for the past five years and don't have any complaints. Most recently my kitten had surgery here and had to stay the night. They called me multiple times to update me and gave my kitten so much love while she was there. They have also called after my cats have gone in to check up on them, which I very much appreciate. We see Dr. Brand and love her, she is very knowledgable and thorough. They are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. If you're looking for a caring and quality vet, I highly recommend Smoky Hill Vet Clinic. Read Less

I have been going to Smoky Hill Vet for almost 15 years.  Yesterday, I took my two very little dogs in for their annual physicals.  The cost has gone up! The physical for a West Highland Terrier and Chihuahua came to $438.00! Then, I was told they would need their back teeth cleaned and that they were having a 40% off sale on their dental services.  If I decide to let Smoky Hill Vet Clinic do the dental (I always have in the past 15 years with my prior two dogs), the cost would total $618.00 for two dogs! And that is with 40% off! So, if you add another 40% to that dollar amount, the regular cost of back teeth cleaning for two little dogs would cost $865.20! If you add the cost of the two dog physicals with the discounted dental, it would total $1,056.00! If you added the cost of the two dogs physical with the dental not discounted at 40%, it would total $1,303.20! That is ridiculous! After 15 years, I am going to shop around dental prices with other Vets.  They can use all of the records from blood work, etc. from the annual physical I had done by Smoky Hill Vet, for dental work else where.  I may even change Vet clinics, due to the recent greedy high prices charged by Smoky Hill Vet now. You can pay for a lot of college with $1,303.20, or make a house payment.  Stay tuned.  I'll post my outcome, especially if I find a better priced Vet, equally qualified to be allowed to take care of my beloved dogs!

Took my cat in for rabies shot and he developed a lump near the area of the shot. Took him back and after a biopsy said it was cancerous and they needed to do surgery. I waited 2 weeks and watched the lump. It disappeared and then the vet changed her story and said it probably was a reaction to the shot.Later took my cat in for an ear infection. Had to wait 25 minutes past my scheduled time to see the vet. My cat was stressed out waiting and came home with terrible sneezing and a watery eye.Prices high, but friendly staff. Read Less

I brought my cat in to check on a swollen foot, the cat had no trouble putting weight on the foot, but the vet insisted I put him threw x-rays. They took him in another room and the vet informed me I should put him down because of his age, nothing to do with his foot. I told her his is active and happy, she insisted over and over until I make it clear. After 15 minutes a vet assistant ran into the room and told me my cat was dying, I ran to the other room where they had him on a steel table with a mask attached to his face. I took the mask off of him and grabbed him and ran to my car. My wife stayed to pay them the $200 they wanted for the check up and x-ray that was impossible to make anything out on. The vet said he was brain dead and would be dead before we got home. He had a stroke when they were doing whatever they were doing to him in that room, I took him home and he slowly recovered somewhat. Half his face was no longer functional, and he stopped walking around much, but his foot went back to normal. He lived another month until he stopped eating, and I was forced to have a vet service come to my home to put him down. Before I went to Smoky Hill Vet. Clinic my cat ran around and jumped up on the couch with me, they changed that in a 30 minute "check-up". A different vet later told me that swollen feet happen to older cats and its no big deal. The vet at Smoky HIll was an older lady, she was extremely confident in her opinions and pushy, I am not confident in her knowledge, and was very dissappointed in her lack of compassion. She upsold me on the x-ray which was un-nessasary, un-productive and unwise givin that my cat was old and clearly scared. She attempted to upsell  me on killing my cat for another $200 dollars. I don't know what they did to my cat in that room, and I wont speculate, but I'm very, very suspicous and saddend by the whole experience. I will never get another pet. Read Less

Front office staff is very friendly and will get you in quickly. However, I would not recommend taking a pet there. 1.) They charge outrageous prices. 2.) Seems when I recently took my dog there that they were more interested in money than trying to figure out what was wrong with her.After my dog became sick we immediately got her into the vet. They looked her over and provided us with an estimate for her care. We went ahead and had some tests run. Was charged for things we did not ask to be done to her that they took the liberty of doing on their own. After 3 days my dog went downhill and we took her elsewhere for a 2nd opinion. Smoky Hill lied right to our face about her condition. Not only were we told her platelets were fine, but was also told she just tweaked her back. Instead, we found out at the 2nd vet that she had at some time a spinal stroke which caused her back legs to get weak. And her platelets were VERY low and she was bleeding internally. Needless to say at that point we could not save our dog as it was too late. I will never take another pet to them. They are money hungry and don't care about your pets. Read Less

We were new to the area, and our old vet retired. Our 16 1/2 year old dog Abby was pretty ill and we did make the dreaded decision to go ahead and euthanasie her since her quality of life was not good. I had been driving by the Smokey Hill Vet clinic everyday and something told me that was the right place to go. I called and spoke with Ashley, she was very kind and patient with me explaining the procedure. We arrived the next day and were greeted with amazing staff. We felt they really did understand what a hard decision it was for us to make about our dog Abby. They offered a nice quiet room for us, no pressure toget this done quickly ~ as a matter of fact, they told us to take as much time as we needed. We did, and then doctor Jorgensen came in and made it so nice for us and our dog. She even hugged us, sharing in our grief. When we left, we were sad, yet felt it was right. I know that the caring staff made our experience and our dog Abby's so much better, and for this we thank you! We will return with our other 2 healthy dogs as we have found the right Vet for our pets. Read Less

I have been taking my animals to Smokey Hill Vets on an as needed basis since 2001. Initially I found both their professionalism and prices to be very good and I even recommended them to my friends. This year, however, I have been profoundly disappointed with their service. They are demanding an unnecessary examination to be done on my cat before they’ll allow me to buy a simple back of Science Diet cat food. The only reason my cat started on the food 9 years ago was to prevent a recurring health problem, and it worked. He’s healthy as long as he gets the right food. There’s nothing to examine. Yet in a transparent effort to drum up business on unnecessary services they refuse to sell me the food. I’m furious with their foolish need to sell unneeded service and I will NEVER use them again. Other vets will sell me the food without a fight…why can’t they?! Read Less

I was unhappy with a procedure that was done on my cat, when I confronted him about it he became very combative and condescending, when it was all said and done and I had paid my bill he told me never to come back and to not bother reporting him to the Board of Veterinary because it wouldn't do any good..I was shocked to say the least. .Fortunately in 25 years of caring for pets and their vet visits all experiences with veterinarians have been good except for this one..

I've used Smoky Hill Vet Clinic for quite some time and for the basics like vaccinations, spay and neuter, heartworm testing and medication they are great, but if your dog or cat is sick and it isn't absolutely obvious what is wrong, go somewhere else. I have decided to leave the clinic after they repeatedly misdiagnosed or failed to diagnose potentially life threatening conditions in my dogs. In virtually every case, I have dropped several hundred at Smoky Hill only to have to go to Alameda East or the VRCC in the end to get my dog diagnosed properly and cured. Don't get me wrong, I do think the vets at Smoky Hill are caring - they just tend to be inexperienced (the best ones have tended to leave after 6 months to a year) and not have access to necessary diagnostic equipment. Dr. Mueller who owns the clinic is quite nice and experienced but he is almost always on-call seeing horses outside the clinic. Read Less
