DO NOT TAKE YOUR ANIMALS HERE!! I wish I could give zero stars. Our dogs came in very very badly injured. We needed quite a large amount of money for all of the damages ($7000 to be exact) and they said when we took them home, they probably still wouldn’t the okay. But they didn’t even touch them for probably 3 hours after we got there and then they finally gave them pain medicine. I was not pleased AT ALL. We ended up having to put both dogs down because they were not flexible. WAY OVERPRICED. We asked them to keep the dog’s bed, towels, and pillows we brought them in on after we knew it wasn’t going to end well. She said they would find a spot to keep them in. I went in to get their ashes and they couldn’t even find the bed, towels, or pillow!?!?!?!?! Like how INCONSIDERATE can you be. I was really frustrated about my whole experience at medvet. I wouldn’t recommend anyone go there for your animal’s emergencies!!!!!!!!!! Read Less

Although the doctors seem nice, the operational process of the facility needs to move in to the 21rst century. The owner of a patient who's dying of cancer (or any patient for that matter) should not have to wait to receive test results that are available because the doctor isn't in the office. The practice should be able to email the results to the customer as soon as they are received. Clearly they're clueless as to the stress this causes. Read Less

The care provided there was not worth anything near what we paid. I don’t know if it was that specific veterinarian, but either way. Took our dog there for a limp, and the vet diagnosed a broken leg after looking at it and feeling it for no more than 5 seconds. After seeming SO sure about it, he said we would want an x-ray to determine severity, in case if surgery was needed. Of course, we did it and there was no broken bones at all. Instead of coming back and examining further, he just came back with the distinctive idea that it was a soft tissue injury and let him heal for a couple of weeks with a couple of prescriptions. Two days later his leg was worse, so we took him to our actual vet who did a thorough look at him and found an abscess between his toes that needed antibiotics. I can’t recommend enough going to your actual vet if you can. Otherwise, make sure these guys actually examine your pet before making decisions. Read Less

Before deciding where to get his surgery done, I had called a couple different specialists and Dr. Lantz was the only vet that spoke to me directly and answered all of my questions. He told us all of our different options before treatment, and made sure we knew all of the different outcomes for each treatment plan. The vet techs were incredible, and you could tell that they really care for the animals that they treat! Read Less

Had to take my puppy there twice in the last month. Once was for an infection and the other for kennel cough. They were wonderful both times! Had to go in the middle of the night because my puppy was coughing constantly. So happy she could obtain relief right away through help from MedVet. The doctor and staff are very caring about animals, knowledgeable, and take the time to explain everything thoroughly. Their fees are reasonable for an emergency vet. I highly recommend MedVet Carmel to anyone with a pet emergency. Read Less

In fact we just sat there for an hour trying to visit our dog and ended up Leaving after the receptionist said there were others in line ahead of us still (they had sick pets).

Overall, I had a good experience with MedVet. It is a 24 hour pet emergency facility, and as such, it is fairly pricey - but that would be the same at any emergency hospital. When my cat swallowed some yarn and it got stuck inside him - on New Year's Eve, of all times - they were quick to see him and performed the emergency surgery the same day. All staff members were friendly and helpful, and thanks to the quick intervention, my cat is now back to his normal self again.. I hope I won't have to deal with emergency situations like this again, but if I needed an emergency vet, I would use MedVet again. Read Less

I highly recommend this emergency vet clinic, our dog had a deep laceration on her pad and toe that was bleeding a good bit this evening. We called ahead and the receptionist was extremely courteous and professional and checked to make sure we would be seen right away before encouraging us to come in. Once we arrived to MedVet we were immediately taken back to a room and the Vet Tech began to check our pup's vitals. Dr. Froderman did the examination and took her back to clean, close, and bandage the cut. Every single staff member that we interacted with was extremely pleasant and talked encouragingly to our dog so that she wasn't scared while also explaining to us clearly the plan for treatment. The entire experience took less than one hour and included emailed directions and report as follow-up. Read Less

We had to take our dog into MedVet for an x-ray after hours, on recommendation from our regular vet. Daisy had eaten a decent quantity of rug/carpet 4 days prior, pulling the thread from the carpet. We originally thought it could be as much as 4-5 cups, but it could have been less. (Turns out, it was a little less than 2 cups...) . She had been vomiting, was lethargic and sad, and could only keep water down.With the X-ray results, they confirmed there was a foreign body in her stomach, that looked like it had started moving down the intestines. Dr. Crabtree said it was very unlikely that she would pass the carpet through her digestive system without complications based on his experience. He said she would most likely have serious complications if we let it continue through her system.  It would likely get stuck in her intestines, and could perforate her intestines. From MedVet, the only viable options presented were more x-rays or ultrasounds, hospitalization, scoping and surgery - ranging from $500 to $5000 depending on the combination. When we decided to wait and talk with our regular vet, Dr. Crabtree wanted to keep her overnight. We literally had to tell him, no. (At that point, we assumed we were going to have to put her down soon if we couldn't afford the surgery, and we at least wanted her home. The last place I wanted her to spend her final days was in a sterile Carmel office complex.)We asked about natural ways for this to resolve it, and he offered none. We asked several ways, and the only option we kept getting was surgery - either "now" or within days - or she wouldn't make it.  Dr. Crabtree never mentioned vomiting as a possible resolution. Again, his experience and medical advice was surgery was the only option.  We brought her home Friday night, in tears.  We spoke with our regular vet and let her know we would probably bring Daisy in Monday or Tuesday to have her put down, simply because we couldn't afford $4000-$5000 in unexpected vet costs.Saturday afternoon, we came home to the most amazing gift - Daisy vomited up the carpet mass finally, after about 5 days of waiting.  Her spirits are back, she's eating normally, and looks like will have a full recovery.I'm so glad we didn't listen to Dr. Crabtree's limited options, and decided to wait.  I only regret that we had to live through 24 hours of thinking Daisy was a goner, a stress that could have been avoided if Dr. Crabtree had explored all possibilities with us - not just the ones that brought MedVet a profit.

2 years ago our male Pomeranian had surgery here. Wonderful for surgeries or when in need of a specialist. However, our older girl Pomeranian has a luxating back left patella. Usually it goes back into place on its own when she walks on it for a bit. Today, it was stuck and didn't go back so she wouldn't eat or move because of her back leg. We decided to take her to a vet since our normal vet can easily move it in place in 2 seconds and same with her vet techs. We took her to MedVet because it was a Saturday and Elle was having a really rough time. With such a simple and common issue, we figured we'd be in and out in a couple of minutes. We were wrong! Although extremely friendly, the vet did not put her knee back properly. She limped around on the floor, when usually she walks like nothing happened. When we went and paid, it was $105!!!! For something so easy!!! I was expecting 10-20 dollars because our vet normally doesn't even charge us to fix the patella. It was for an "emergency fee"... Which is understandable for cases when you bring a dog in with a serious medical condition, but honestly, the vet tech could have moved her kneecap in the lobby! Our Pom still cannot walk on her leg now that she is home and hasn't gotten up since bringing her home. Honestly, we wish there was a way to get our money back. Instead, we'll be here, carrying our Pomeranian around the house when she needs to get places until we can see our real vet on Monday. We paid way more than we should have even IF they did fix her knee... $105... Read Less

Again, his experience and medical advice was surgery was the only option.  We brought her home Friday night, in tears.  We spoke with our regular vet and let her know we would probably bring Daisy in Monday or Tuesday to have her put down, simply because we couldn't afford $4000-$5000 in unexpected vet costs.Saturday afternoon, we came home to the most amazing gift - Daisy vomited up the carpet mass finally, after about 5 days of waiting.  Her spirits are back, she's eating normally, and looks like will have a full recovery.I'm so glad we didn't listen to Dr. Crabtree's limited options, and decided to wait.  I only regret that we had to live through 24 hours of thinking Daisy was a goner, a stress that could have been avoided if Dr. Crabtree had explored all possibilities with us - not just the ones that brought MedVet a profit.

2 years ago our male Pomeranian had surgery here. Wonderful for surgeries or when in need of a specialist. However, our older girl Pomeranian has a luxating back left patella. Usually it goes back into place on its own when she walks on it for a bit. Today, it was stuck and didn't go back so she wouldn't eat or move because of her back leg. We decided to take her to a vet since our normal vet can easily move it in place in 2 seconds and same with her vet techs. We took her to MedVet because it was a Saturday and Elle was having a really rough time. With such a simple and common issue, we figured we'd be in and out in a couple of minutes. We were wrong! Although extremely friendly, the vet did not put her knee back properly. She limped around on the floor, when usually she walks like nothing happened. When we went and paid, it was $105!!!! For something so easy!!! I was expecting 10-20 dollars because our vet normally doesn't even charge us to fix the patella. It was for an "emergency fee"... Which is understandable for cases when you bring a dog in with a serious medical condition, but honestly, the vet tech could have moved her kneecap in the lobby! Our Pom still cannot walk on her leg now that she is home and hasn't gotten up since bringing her home. Honestly, we wish there was a way to get our money back. Instead, we'll be here, carrying our Pomeranian around the house when she needs to get places until we can see our real vet on Monday. We paid way more than we should have even IF they did fix her knee... $105... Read Less

I was extremely impressed with the service we were given, the staff was caring and friendly. When I was told my dog needed to see an Oral Surgeon for major dental work on 11 teeth. , I though I would have to take out a loan to pay my bill, I was pleasantly surprised at my bill, and my baby girl was no longer in pain. Thank you Dr Lemmons and your entire staff, your the best! Read Less

Our precious dog had bloat late at night back in April. The professionalism and care and concern for Martin was amazing. Very sadly, Martin had to go to the rainbow bridge that night. They sent a card, signed by all staff and a pawprint of our boy. We will treasure this memorial for the rest of our lives. We want to thank you for making Martin comfortable. Read Less
