Valley View Veterinary Clinic
Council Bluffs, Iowa
General Info
Valley View Veterinary Clinic in Council Bluffs offers examination frameworks designed to align with pets' unique decompression and settling behaviors while preparing physically for diagnostic procedures throughout Iowa. The initiation of intake processes does not begin through documentation procedures. The staff monitors the animal's entry while noting any hesitation, circling behavior, vocalizations, or weight anchoring at the doorway. The clinic monitors these reactions to determine pacing through methods of slow approach quiet staging or quick triage based on stress levels. Physical evaluations involve examining balance and ear tension alongside skin warmth and hydration while assessing fur texture, oral response, breath pattern, and handling resistance. Owner feedback anchors all diagnostics sleeping positions seasonal behavior changes appetite shifts or recent avoidance patterns shape the medical conversation Valley View Veterinary Clinic offers an extensive array of services including wellness checks urgent care geriatric mapping weight stabilization plans and pain indexing. Services may be split into several visits for pets that perform better during brief periods. Certain individuals find advantage in extended staggered handling sessions that include intermittent break periods. The model provides a means for families to protect noise-sensitive, post-surgical, or previously fearful animals from experiencing retraumatization. Post-visit planning involves intricate body-language manuals alongside emotional response scales for home monitoring. Owners should modify their speech patterns and timing along with daily routines to support post-care decompression. The scheduling of follow-up activities depends on behavioral readiness instead of fixed schedules. Valley View Veterinary Clinic delivers a unique veterinary rhythm to pet families in Council Bluffs and surrounding Iowa communities that supports both physical healing and emotional self-regulation while maintaining clinical precision.

Extraordinary care for my little man by Dr Lee and Dr Jody. Not only did they address the needs of my fur baby earth angel, they also provided support and kindness to me. It is easy for Dr Lee and Dr Jody to be compassionate. They love and pamper their own fur babies, just like us. I have had dogs all my life and have interacted with many Vets over the years. Dr Lee stands out above all the rest.

Dr. Lee has been our vet for our dogs since she opened the clinic. She is very caring and is knowledgeable of resources and treatments. Recently our Golden dropped weight and blood tests determined leukemia or lymphoma. Dr Lee arranged for us to visit a cancer specialist in Des Moines, called us in the evening when she received the results and she is following the prescribed protocol for treatments. All of the staff has been very supportive and caring.

In response to an earlier Post by "M" in reference to not receiving return phone calls from Staff and/or Dr. Lee. I don't know M's situation but my wife and I have had 5 dogs within several years Dr. Lee and her Staff has treated. Over the years, Dr. Lee and her Staff have ALWAYS returned our calls concerning our pets. Dr. Lee has called our home after hours and as late as 9:30 PM to give us updates and info she received from searching for answers concerning our Pet's medical issues even when we were NOT expecting a phone call. Dr. Lee and her Staff have given my wife, myself and our pets the best care available and have NEVER failed to return calls, no matter the time of day. Thank You for all you have done and continue to do. GOD Bless! Ed and Linda K.

I have been taking my four-legged kids to Dr. Lee for 16 years. She is always very thorough and has gotten me in on the spot for a few unfortunate emergencies. She and her crew have been with me through some rough times with pets and I cannot imagine taking my pets anywhere else!
Any time we have had to have tests, either she or someone from her office calls with the results as soon as possible. Dr. Lee has called numerous times late at night to give results because she is so dedicated. Love her and love Valley View Vet.

Dr. Lee and all of the Valley View staff are the very best. Exemplary care is given to both pets and pet parents. We are a multi-pet home and I trust Dr. Lee completely with their care. She emails test results and always follows up with a call to review them - sometimes as late as 10 pm. She doesn't rest until all calls have been returned. She is a true vet that observes the pet closely and listens. The tests recommended are as required and not just to run up a big bill. She works closely with shelters and rescues to help all animals. If their were 10 stars - that's what Valley View Veterinary deserves!

I have had all of my cherished pets seen by Dr. Lee for over 30 years. No one will give you more of best practice medicine and her time and her heart. She loves every animal she sees. We are also personal friends and I see her leave many, many personal events to care for so many of these animals. She also cares for other less fortunate animals in the community who have no home and nurtures students who want to learn in her field. She is not afraid to tell you what she doesn't know and make a referral and to learn herself. She also works to keep her costs reasonable (check around - it's true!) It's not surprising it takes time. Everyone wants to see her. No one wants to wait! She tries hard not to turn people away and has been known to make house calls! So. Sometimes we wait and it's always been worth it! There are no better veterinarians than Dr. Lee and Dr. Strohbehn.

When we first got our dog almost 5 years ago, I really liked the place or so I thought. Dr. Lee is great and shes the only one I feel that listens to you. The front desk staff are very rude, they rush you on the phone, not letting you explain the reasoning for your call. Its always just bring them in, they don't want to hear anything you have to say. I don't always have the money to just bring my dog in. I call for advice or ideas with any help I need and they dont offer it. They have attitudes like they are above you. This is suppose to be a friendly place and it is not. I dont like going to a place and feel like Im being looked down at or down talked to.

My Zeus was there for an undecended testicle. We were there as a referral from our hometown vet, so we were all nervous. I was very pleased with the intake process, as the staff took the time to get to know us and Zeus. It was obvious they knew how to handle big dogs ( he's a baby at 107.) We picked him up the next morning. Thank you! He is doing well!

The doctors have always been good. But the one Older receptionist is always a huge bitch. On the phone and in the office. She needs to go. She makes me not want to leave my dying dog there. Edit: Other than that they were absolutely amazing to my dog the 2 days he stayed there. The nurse lady, Aleah, that took care of my Miloh while he was in isolation went above and beyond. And I can't thank her, Dr. Humphrey enough for taking such great care of him, continuing to check up on him at home, and helping us make him feel better, and helping us kick Parvo's butt!

Dr Lee is one of the best, most experienced Veterinarians in Iowa, also in Nebraska. Would not trust any other Veterinarian with the care of my kitty. Dr Lee has taken care of our animals for about 40 years. My husband has never used another Veterinarian in all this time. Before we remarried I used a few different Veterinarians. But we know when our animals get older and need excellent care, Dr Lee is who we trust 110% She is a very caring person. She used to be off Center and 60th in Omaha long ago. She has been in Iowa for around twenty years. We drive around 15 miles to see her, instead of going for nearby help. She is the most best, the most excellent Veterinarian I have ever seen in my lifetime. Anyone that takes their pet to her will not be disappointed. She is really sharp.

I love Valley View! I've been taking both of my babies since they were tiny pups. My only big complaint isn't even to bad. The wait time can get a little long. I will usually be scheduled for a 10:00am appointment and not get seen until 10:30am-10:45am. They have a tendency to double and triple book for the same appointment time. Other than that everything there is just amazing! The vet techs and the Dr. Lee are all amazing. They are so nice and gentle with my dogs, and always answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this Vet! They truly do care about your fur babies, and take the time to actually get to know them.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for over 17 years now. Her compassion, dedication and love for not only her customers but for our pets as well is one in a million. I remember back when she started up her new clinic, how she would make house calls for my golden's. Today is a difficult day as I put my 17 year old calico to rest. Dr. Lee never waivered, she just showed her compassion for both myself and my pet.They don't come any better then this clinic and someday I look forward to being back in her office with a new pet. But, until then I strongly recommend Valley View Vet Clinic to everyone. They really are the best around.

Dr Lee and her staff have one of the most caring and technologically up to date clinics in the area. I've been going to Dr Lee for over 20 yrs. I've had to go to other vets due to moving etc but I always end up back at Dr Lee's doorstep. It's well worth my drive. Her knowledge and caring attitude is impeccable! She always makes me feel like my pet is the only one in the clinic. I also like that her husband, Dr Jody Strohbehn, is on board in the clinic with her! Any Dr that takes the time to call you at 8pm to tell you your pet is resting comfortably is going above and beyond their job!

I don't know M's situation but my wife and I have had 5 dogs within several years Dr. Lee and her Staff has treated. Over the years, Dr. Lee and her Staff have ALWAYS returned our calls concerning our pets. Dr. Lee has called our home after hours and as late as 9:30 PM to give us updates and info she received from searching for answers concerning our Pet's medical issues even when we were NOT expecting a phone call. Dr. Lee and her Staff have given my wife, myself and our pets the best care available and have NEVER failed to return calls, no matter the time of day. Thank You for all you have done and continue to do. GOD Bless! Ed and Linda K.

I have been taking my four-legged kids to Dr. Lee for 16 years. She is always very thorough and has gotten me in on the spot for a few unfortunate emergencies. She and her crew have been with me through some rough times with pets and I cannot imagine taking my pets anywhere else!
Any time we have had to have tests, either she or someone from her office calls with the results as soon as possible. Dr. Lee has called numerous times late at night to give results because she is so dedicated. Love her and love Valley View Vet.

Dr. Lee and all of the Valley View staff are the very best. Exemplary care is given to both pets and pet parents. We are a multi-pet home and I trust Dr. Lee completely with their care. She emails test results and always follows up with a call to review them - sometimes as late as 10 pm. She doesn't rest until all calls have been returned. She is a true vet that observes the pet closely and listens. The tests recommended are as required and not just to run up a big bill. She works closely with shelters and rescues to help all animals. If their were 10 stars - that's what Valley View Veterinary deserves!

I have had all of my cherished pets seen by Dr. Lee for over 30 years. No one will give you more of best practice medicine and her time and her heart. She loves every animal she sees. We are also personal friends and I see her leave many, many personal events to care for so many of these animals. She also cares for other less fortunate animals in the community who have no home and nurtures students who want to learn in her field. She is not afraid to tell you what she doesn't know and make a referral and to learn herself. She also works to keep her costs reasonable (check around - it's true!) It's not surprising it takes time. Everyone wants to see her. No one wants to wait! She tries hard not to turn people away and has been known to make house calls! So. Sometimes we wait and it's always been worth it! There are no better veterinarians than Dr. Lee and Dr. Strohbehn.

When we first got our dog almost 5 years ago, I really liked the place or so I thought. Dr. Lee is great and shes the only one I feel that listens to you. The front desk staff are very rude, they rush you on the phone, not letting you explain the reasoning for your call. Its always just bring them in, they don't want to hear anything you have to say. I don't always have the money to just bring my dog in. I call for advice or ideas with any help I need and they dont offer it. They have attitudes like they are above you. This is suppose to be a friendly place and it is not. I dont like going to a place and feel like Im being looked down at or down talked to.

There are very few people that I would trust with our numerous pets, and Dr. Lee and her staff are in that group. They've been with us through thick and thin - from cancer treatment to puppy delivery via C-section to routine checkups, and through it all have been caring and responsive. We don't know what we'd do without them!

I have English and French bulldogs. Dr. Lee and Dr. Strohbehn are Bulldog experts. I almost lost a puppy to kennel cough and this clinic and Dr. Lee saved him! I will not take my bulldogs anywhere else! After just a couple visits, they know me and my dogs by name. Everyone is friendly, kind and caring. It's a wonderful place to bring your pets! I can't recommend this clinic enough.

My Zeus was there for an undecended testicle. We were there as a referral from our hometown vet, so we were all nervous. I was very pleased with the intake process, as the staff took the time to get to know us and Zeus. It was obvious they knew how to handle big dogs ( he's a baby at 107.) We picked him up the next morning. Thank you! He is doing well!

The only place I will ever take my furbabies...Dr Lee is the most compassionate, skilled vet around. We recently had to send our Mickey dog to the Rainbow Bridge but not until she had exhausted every means possible to save her. I trust her judgement and appreciate that she understands the pain of losing a beloved pet The other vets that I have dealt with are also great and trust them all to care for my pets! Thanks for all you do!.

The doctors have always been good. But the one Older receptionist is always a huge bitch. On the phone and in the office. She needs to go. She makes me not want to leave my dying dog there. Edit: Other than that they were absolutely amazing to my dog the 2 days he stayed there. The nurse lady, Aleah, that took care of my Miloh while he was in isolation went above and beyond. And I can't thank her, Dr. Humphrey enough for taking such great care of him, continuing to check up on him at home, and helping us make him feel better, and helping us kick Parvo's butt!

I would never go anywhere else. I have taken my pets to Valley View for years. I have always had nothing less than the best of care for my fur-babies. Caring compassionate as well as informative. From the front desk all the way to the Doctors, thank you Valley View for caring for a part of our family.

Dr Lee is one of the best, most experienced Veterinarians in Iowa, also in Nebraska. Would not trust any other Veterinarian with the care of my kitty. Dr Lee has taken care of our animals for about 40 years. My husband has never used another Veterinarian in all this time. Before we remarried I used a few different Veterinarians. But we know when our animals get older and need excellent care, Dr Lee is who we trust 110% She is a very caring person. She used to be off Center and 60th in Omaha long ago. She has been in Iowa for around twenty years. We drive around 15 miles to see her, instead of going for nearby help. She is the most best, the most excellent Veterinarian I have ever seen in my lifetime. Anyone that takes their pet to her will not be disappointed. She is really sharp.

Originally I had chosen another vet which showed as closer, but after not getting a response to my contact and having an increasing need of veterinary services, I ended up at Valley View. It was serendipity!The staff is knowledgeable and helpful. Sometimes they are VERY busy, but the more patience you show, the better off you and your animal will be.Dr. Lee was extremely nice and helpful to boot. I would recommend this provider to anyone I know.

I love Valley View! I've been taking both of my babies since they were tiny pups. My only big complaint isn't even to bad. The wait time can get a little long. I will usually be scheduled for a 10:00am appointment and not get seen until 10:30am-10:45am. They have a tendency to double and triple book for the same appointment time. Other than that everything there is just amazing! The vet techs and the Dr. Lee are all amazing. They are so nice and gentle with my dogs, and always answer all of my questions. I highly recommend this Vet! They truly do care about your fur babies, and take the time to actually get to know them.

I have been going to Dr. Lee for over 17 years now. Her compassion, dedication and love for not only her customers but for our pets as well is one in a million. I remember back when she started up her new clinic, how she would make house calls for my golden's. Today is a difficult day as I put my 17 year old calico to rest. Dr. Lee never waivered, she just showed her compassion for both myself and my pet.They don't come any better then this clinic and someday I look forward to being back in her office with a new pet. But, until then I strongly recommend Valley View Vet Clinic to everyone. They really are the best around.

Dr Lee and her staff have one of the most caring and technologically up to date clinics in the area. I've been going to Dr Lee for over 20 yrs. I've had to go to other vets due to moving etc but I always end up back at Dr Lee's doorstep. It's well worth my drive. Her knowledge and caring attitude is impeccable! She always makes me feel like my pet is the only one in the clinic. I also like that her husband, Dr Jody Strohbehn, is on board in the clinic with her! Any Dr that takes the time to call you at 8pm to tell you your pet is resting comfortably is going above and beyond their job!
