Took our dog here for a tumor removal and I wish we never had! It was localized to his right shoulder and they cut him all the way across from shoulder to shoulder which was extremely unnecessary and caused our dog a lot of pain. Then after the procedure was done they stapled the wound shut but didn't line up the skin on either side so in addition to having a huge scar it took extra long to heal. Finally after we went back to have the staples removed they left a part of a staple in his back! Please do not take your pets here if they need surgery the vet has not kept up with modern procedures and should not be operating on pets. Read Less

Dr. Jones has truly been a blessing in my life. He has always been up front and honest with me about my pets care. He doesn't sugar coat and he lets you know exactly what is going on and what you should be doing to keep your pet healthy. I trust him completely with all my animals. His assistant, Lisa is awesome and I know first hand that she loves animals as much as he does. I have been taking my animals to Dr. Jones for over 10 years. They have been nothing but professional and loving to my animals. Yes, it's expensive! Show me a good vet that isn't! Thank you to Dr. Jones and his staff! My babies and I love you! Read Less

Our regular vet in our small town wasn't open on Saturdays so we looked up vets in Columbus that was open on Saturdays. After reading some of the reviews and what seemed to be a good vet is nothing but a joke. We took our cat to see him and walked out before she even got to see the vet. First of all the lady that took our cat back I told her that checking her temp was okay but bring her back in the room with us to have her mouth checked out. The lady agreed then after she brought our cat in the room, she had her carrier bag in one hand and was toting our cat under her arm like she was just a bag of potatoes. She then said that they wanted to test her for FeLv. I then being upset already after seeing how she treated my cat told her my cat was an inside cat and the problem with her mouth was from scratching. Even after addressing my concerns she still wanted to do what she wanted and order a bunch of unnecessary tests that my cat didn't need.We got our cat and told her forget it, I am taking my cat to another vet and I wouldn't be back. After taking my cat to Northside Animal Hospital the vet confirmed what I pretty much knew what she had which was Rodent Ulcer. One word of advice stay away from this place. All they care about is money not the pet's well being or the pet's parents. Read Less

This place is all about the money they don't care about your pets. Won't take payment plans or help you out when your pet is in desperate need of medical attention.

I adopted an older cat from Paws 2 years ago that had been brought back 3+ times. She was 9 years old at the time, had severe dandruff, and all sorts of digestive issues. The first clinic I took her to was worthless, they dropped me in an examination room, but took her to the back for the examination (?). The vet came in, told me it was probably nothing (all the while trying to hide the fact she was texting while talking to me with a clipboard) and gave me antibiotics for her. Wouldn't give me back my cat until I paid. The next vets clinic was a similar experience. Even with no improvements, I refused to be another owner that brought her back. She was getting worse at this point, stopped eating, lethargic. Then I took her to this tiny little hospital. The examination room was more like the kind at a peds office than a typical vet examination room. One of the nurse techs even stayed with me to take her vitals and doted over how pretty she was. The doctor was in only minutes later, listened attentively to the problems I had observed and actually responded and held a conversation with me about her. After his examination, he told me that not only did she likely have a form of IBS and should be put on a bland diet, but also pointed out two rotten teeth that needed to be removed that other veterinarians hadn't even mentioned! After the appointment we scheduled a day for surgery, which I hear went smoothly, and she was held for observation for two days afterward (during which they even started on a more gentle diet for her stomach). When I picked her up a couple techs stopped to talk with me about how sweet and pretty she is, I could tell I left her in the hands of people who genuinely cared about her. She's 11 now, missing a few teeth but her wounds healed beautifully. I've been using the food they recommended for me since and not only did it held clear up almost all of her tummy problems, but her dandruff has gone away and her coat is shinier than ever before. I highly recommend this clinic. The staff is caring and kind, the prices are reasonable, and your pet will receive quality care. Read Less
