New vet and staff are very bad with my dog. They wouldn't let me hold him while he got shots and his ears looked at. The tech in a choke hold so bad his eyes were turning red. I kept saying let him go. Ease up but she kept on chocking him. I was thinking of hitting her when she finally let him go. No compassion whatsoever. Just wants your dollars. Will never return. It's a shame Dr. Burk sold his practice to these people.

Dr. Burk and his staff were some of the most caring animal lovers I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They were so enthusiastic to meet my ferret, Jill, and because of their care not only did she get to come home to continue her life pain free, but her siblings got their sister back. Dr. Burk performed a surgery other vets told me they couldn't do, and he did it at a price that proved to me his main concern is for the animal and not profit. I drove from Ankeny to see him and will do so again if my babies ever need his care. Thank you so much Knoxville Veterinary Clinic!!

Dr. Burk has been our vet for 14 years. He has never turned an animal away, he even helped with one of my ducks. He has such a big heart for animals. He's very good with them. He saved my Edward when he was really sick. I don't trust other vets like I trust Dr.Burk.

I absolutely love Dr. Burk. Even though I have moved to Des Moines I will continue to take my dogs to Dr. Burk. I had a problem with one of my chihuahuas and I went in Des Moines they charged me a arm and leg and still couldn't figure it out. Finally decided to drive and take her to Knoxville. They found out what was wrong and now my little Cinderella is back to normal. Thanks to everyone that works there.

Several Weeks ago we had to put down our chocolate lab KoKo Walraven who was 14 years old. We hang onto him for about year because he had started losing his bowels. He was a home dog as he aged he spent less and less time out side. He was the best Dog we have ever owned. He was the dog my children grew up with. Unfortunately they could not be here he we laid him to rest. I had called several times in the last 5 months or so panicked to Dr. Burks office. The ladies in the front were wonderful even though I kept changing my mind. When they day finally came they knew who we were when we walked in the door. They immediately escorted us to a back room with comfortable chairs and a bed for koko. They let us stay through the whole process and were attentive without rushing us to leave at all. They told us to take as much time as needed. Dr. Bruk explained everything to us in a very caring manner. He was the absolutely the best!! In fact his clinic gives you a warm feeling instead of some that are so cold when you take your pet in. We all know our pets are us much our family as our children. If you are looking for am Excellent Vet in the knoxville area, make sure you choose dr. Burk and his clinic family Staff, They are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!
