I have been going to this clinic since 2019. Although I am writing this review I am totally holding account for my wrong doing as well. I came late and was told after 10 min there is a cancelation fee of $45.00 and my pet would not be seen. I came in 16 minutes late. I told them that I did not know of this. They informed me rather rudely that it has been in effect for two years and if I have been coming here for two years I would know. Yet I was never informed via email or mail that such a policy was bing adopted, I never signed in agreement and til today knew nothing of this policy. Actually i truly question the credibility of this because there have been times in the past that my wife has came late and this was not enforced. So today i was told this.....charged $45.00 and my furbaby was not seen.....No warning...no...hey because you have been with us for multiple years we will give you a one time courtesy waiver with a warning. NOPE.... TRUTHFULLY.... the $45 dollars wasn't a problem....I am financially well off so that doesn't bother me one bit. But the refusal to see my pet was a concern....considering I was a faithful customer who gave this establishment roughly four thousand dollars a year at the minimum because I brought all three of our furbabies here. I expressed my dissatisfaction and received more negative and down right rude responses.....brown hair receptionist was very condescending...and with a smirk informed me that she was the Dr's wife......ok....so.....what does this have to do with my me? Or my concern? That's none of my business....was she saying that she has a free pass to be rude because this is her husband's business? Not acceptable. Nevertheless I will not be going back....and I am happy that is his wife and a stakeholder because she will personally feel the financial loss. I personally do not wish for a response....based off of other bad reviews I am noticing a pattern of condescending response remarks and everyone else is wrong but them. I expect this time to be no different. Nevertheless.. if you have multiple people saying someone is rude....ummmm usually where there is smoke there is fire. Read Less

Can't say enough positive things about this clinic. Dr. Mags is one of kind. His level of dedication to his patients and his practice is staggering. My family has used Spring Glen Vet since before the Magliula's owned it as far as I can remember nothing inside that place every changed. It was run down honestly. Dr. Mags and his wife Kayla have put everything they can back into the place. In about 6 years they acquired and fully renovated the spot next door that used to be the Hair Loft and turned it into a treatment room and WAY bigger waiting room. They took the practice fully digital making simply requests for records or Rabies certificates WAY faster. While everyone was stuck at home during COVID they were running in and out of the building rain or shine to reduce contact and "slow the spread" and while we weren't allowed inside they used that time to fully renovate and even change the floor plan of the exam rooms to make a more comfortable experience for us. They have added a surgery and dental suite recently so we don't need to drop our pets off at another hospital for surgery anymore. I recently heard that they are able to perform ultrasounds and echocardiograms and will soon have x-ray as well. It is more than obvious how much they care about their patients and the pet parents of this community. Oh and that Halloween thing was pretty awesome and supposed to be even better next year. I hope they make it a regular event! Read Less

I took my 10 lb pup here and was mostly satisfied. The Doc thoroughly explained the vaccine schedule and treatment plan, they took her in the back, and brought her back. Then the doc came back in and told me instead of doing the vaccine schedule as we discussed his tech gave my pup all of them she was to get over the next several months. They gave her a benadryl shot, apologized and sent us on our way. Thankfully she was relatively fine after the vaccine overload mistake but it made me a little weary of their attention to detail. This is also where my male kitten was neutered and it couldn't have gone smoother. I think it's a relatively safe place for animal care just make sure they slow down and give your babe the focus they deserve. Read Less

We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Mags and his team! Our beagle is very nervous and Dr. Mags sensed that immediately. I was shocked with how well he handled her anxiety and he actually sat on the floor to examine her to make her more comfortable. Additionally, he went through step by step what he was checking and how he was checking. I so appreciated his gentle nature and detailed explanation. He was very patient and really took his time with us. And then today I got a personal follow up email from him confirming that I received all of the info I needed at our appointment on Saturday! Thank you Dr. Mags and team! We are so happy to have you to take care of our Lucy! :) Read Less

So you send me the central Hospital for veterinary medicin, that charge me $750.00, incorrecty read their own blood work / misdiagnosed Sophia/ ignored her health history, perfectly healthy, active dog / and worst tried to scare us into believing my healthy 2 year old is near death and that I need pay $3,000 or she won’t make it another night... all because you couldn’t do blood work or administer an IV. I’ve asked you two times to return my calls, you are 0-2 . I’m coming in tomorrow to pick up her records. I’ve spent over 500.00 at your place. I have Strong concerns at your ability and willingness to take care of Sophia. In your diagnostic of her symptoms, not once did you raise thepossibility that it could be a side effects from the 4 vaccines you recommended my dog take which were all administer at your facility! You knew how hesitant and reluctant I was to give them to Sophia. I found an alarming amount of information about the side effects manifesting a year down the road, especially if the dog had pre existing allergies. Which you were well aware of Time stamp 02/06/2018 Update : You are a coward, I asked you to return my calls, spoke with your office staff... You never called back. ONLY when you realized it was affecting your business ,did you post a response on this google review. A Real doctor, one who cares about his patients returns their call. * You gave her 4 different vaccines at your place totaling over $500 * Yes, you didn't charge me for performing one test on Sophia and inducing her to throw up . * You still gather your research from a book, Peer Review journals should be no more, than 3 years old and your using a text book from when you graduated in 98 . things change, google the effect of vaccine on dogs with allergies. look it up ! ( I am happy to report that Sophia is fine now, but you wouldn't know that because you never called me back. ) Read Less

Amazing vet!! When we rescued our dog we were told about Dr.Mags and I am so glad we chose to go here. During our first visit my (scared little rescue) dog almost bit Dr.Mags, but instead of blaming the dog he acknowledged that he may be giving off bad vibes because he was late to work that day and had an ill family member. He then made extra care to do everything calmly and the visit went smoothly from there on. He also answered all the millions of questions I had for him throughly and thoughtfully. Some vets may rush you in and out, but Dr.Mags really seems to care about each individual animal. Also he doesn't force you into things you don't want, we told him up front that we did not want to give our dog Bravecto and he didn't argue one bit. Highly recommend going here! Read Less

This is by far THE best veterinary office I have ever been to. Dr. Mags and his staff are amazing. They were extremely accommodating and knowledgeable. Dr. Mags' explained everything that my fur baby is going through, and everything that she needs, to the point where I actually understood it--he doesn't just give you short answers assuming you won't get it. Also, their prices are extremely reasonable, which is crazy because their care/service is better than anyone else. If you are looking for the best possible care for your fur baby, Spring Glen Veterinary Clinic is your answer! Read Less
