Plaza Veterinary Hospital

We tell all our friends and coworkers how wonderful everyone at Plaza is to our pets. We have been taking our cat there for years and they have always been great to her. But it was our puppy’s care that truly showed us their commitment to animals. Dr. Carron has been amazing at patiently teaching us the best way to care for our pup, not only with his health needs but in training him to be a great fit in our family. Our pets simply could not be in better hands. Read Less

My husband and I have been taking our two Springer Spaniels to Plaza Vet for several years and have been very happy with them.  Everyone we've interacted with has been so kind to us and our doggies.  The vets and vet techs truly love animals and it shows!  Our dear female is in her senior years now and has been experiencing more health issues.  Both Dr. Carron & Dr. Ast have spent a significant amount of time answering our long list of questions and walking us through how to care for her health at home. I'm grateful to have such competent and caring people looking after our dogs!   I would highly recommend Plaza Vet!!! Read Less

We can't say enough great things about everyone at Plaza Veterinary Hospital. Truly you would be hard pressed to find people that care more, or are more competent, than these fine folks. From birth to end of life services(heartbreaking!) the compassion, care and experience are on full display. We wouldn't consider going anywhere else, if you are looking for a new vet, look no further, you found them. Read Less

This is an amazing vet, they really care for animals and they are very friendly with the animal owners. They help you get the right things for your pet. I love this vet and will return. I am very happy with this vet. Read Less

Excellent! Had our first visit here with our cat. Dr was gentle with her and office staff and techs were friendly! We were not up sold anything which was a relief. Told things to watch out for. Dr has kind disposition and great energy!! Our cat was completely different with this vet she appeared like a big baby which is not how she reacts to strangers usually. Read Less

First visit yesterday with our very nervous cat. The vetranarian was great!! We will be back. He was Kind and had a very gentle approach with our cat. The office staff and tech were gentle as well. We have had no luck with previous vets offices. ( other vet visits have gone terrible with our cat..she usually gets upset easily ). My husband I went together and we were very pleased! Not up sold anything. Dr brought up things to watch for and let us get only required vaccines with out pressuring on anything. They also helped us with our soaked cat carrier and genuinly cared. Commented on her nice coat and the dr had great energy. I can't explain how great it was to find a vet that our cat not only tolerated but she actually behaved and let the Dr preform wellness check. TRY THEM OUT! Read Less

A few years ago my German Shorthaired Pointer's front foot became swollen after a weekend of chasing the tennis ball in Northern Michigan. When we got home, we made an appointment at our local vet (in Warren). After a couple of visits and a hundred dollar bills, they could find nothing wrong and recommended laser treatment and medication. I wasn't satisfied, so we came to Plaza for a second opinion. After a biopsy, It turned out that Trigger had a cancerous tumor. After 2 surgeries and a month of recovery, Trigger was back to hunting that tennis ball. Trigger is alive and well and running and happy as of today. If we had not gotten that second opinion - and first class treatment - from Plaza, the cancer likely would have spread and Trigger may not be with us today. All of our pets have been going to Plaza ever since - we drive across town to do so - and I definitely recommend them. Read Less

I have gone here for 30 years. Everyone from the front desk to the Drs are fabulous. We have seen all the Drs with a variety of cats (5). Exams are caring, complete and results are expertly discussed. Drs. Ast, Adams,and Carron have done numerous exams and procedures and we trust them completely. We only wish we could give them 6 stars. Read Less

Plaza Veterinary was the worst possible experience.  They don't treat your pet, but charge huge fees for nothing.  Tracy Adams is a horrible veterinary and I would not recommend her or this place to anyone.  Horrible experience for me and my pet. Read Less

We went to this vet twice before we found another one in the area.  The first time we saw Dr. Carron, and he was good with our group (we have 3 dogs).  On the second visit, we saw Dr. Tracy Adams.  This was the visit that caused us to never want to come back in again.  Our Shar Pei/American Bulldog mix had some swelling/fluid in her hocks.  She has always had this swelling that goes up and down off and on (ever since we got her as a puppy and she is 7).  She has seen 3 different vets (due to us moving to different states) and we have mentioned it to all of them, and they have seen her when there was a flare up.  None of them had any concerns regarding this swelling, and her blood work never reflected a problem.  We had supplied all of the previous vets' paperwork when we initially brought them in for a meet and greet.  We took Keira in because she had 2 dark looking areas - one on her leg and a new one on her stomach.  We mentioned it to Dr. Adams, and she immediately said something about the swelling.  We explained it has always been like this (and we had even mentioned it to Dr. Carron on our initial meet and greet, and he wasn't concerned).  She immediately wanted to do a blood screening and check her for Lyme disease.  We agreed, and after a full blood panel that came back clean and negative Lyme test, she wanted to do more tests on Keira.  Dr. Adams said she didn't know what was causing the issue, and wanted to keep testing Keira until she figured it out.  During our discussion with Dr. Adams, she spoke to both myself and my husband as though we were bad pet owners.  She made us both feel by the way she talked and her demeanor as though we didn't care about our dog.  I thought maybe I just took it wrong, but my husband mentioned it to me when we got in the car to leave.   My husband and I talked after the visit, and we decided we would be finding another vet.  She called us shortly after our visit to give us the blood panel results, and we were very clear on how she spoke to us.  She did apologize and said that wasn't what she meant, but it was too late.  We also explained clearly we would not turn Keira into a test subject.Turns out, we went to another vet shortly afterwards and just by sight he said the swelling is from something called Shar Pei fever, and he has seen this before (and was treating another dog with some medicine, since this dog also ran a temperature).  Since all Keira had was the fluid in her hocks, he said we could try to sprinkle turmeric on her dog food to help reduce the fluid....AND IT WORKED!    And the dark spots were nothing more than skin tags that were removed when they got a dental (and tested to make sure nothing more....all clean!).I would not recommend this place to anyone!

After having bad experiences with other veterinarians, my husband and I decided to try Plaza Veterinary Hospital based on the two positive Yelp reviews posted... and Yelp did not steer me wrong!Over the course of two years, I have never had a negative experience. Their staff are kind, polite, and clearly love animals. The technicians and assistants are knowledgeable and GREAT at customer service, which can be hard to find these days. It is reassuring to see them handle my dogs as if they were their own- my dog had to have a number of shots, and they kept him calm by talking to him and petting him the entire time. Also, the vets here are willing to take time to listen to my concerns, and answer my questions! I know that doesn't sound like that's asking too much, but after experiences in other vet offices where I felt like it was simply a financial transaction and the vet was gone before I could even utter a question,  I was very happy to find that the veterinarians at Plaza take the time to discuss options, decide courses of treatment, and answer questions. Be aware that this means that you may have to wait a few minutes for your appointment... but if that is what it takes to find a vet that is willing to take time with an overly-concerned dog owner such as myself, I will happily wait for every visit.

This is simply an outstanding vet. My dog has unfortunately a very lengthy vet history and I've been to several vets in both Texas and here. My dog was jokingly referred as "The million dollar dog" at one place, it was all in good fun. I've only met with Dr Ast but he really impressed me. During the first visit he noticed that something was wrong with one of her legs, one of the vets at a different clinic concluded she had arthritis but it turned out that Dr Ast was correct and she actually had a torn ACL. I've also taken her a bunch of times due to urinary tract infections in my dog and he's done an outstanding job in trying to get rid of it. He always returns calls even if it ends up being after they have closed the office and is glad to answer any questions that you may have.On top of all this their prices are outstanding in IMO when you consider the value they provide to you and your pets. I've been to some other good vets in the past but they charged a LOT more. I'm very glad to have found a really outstanding vet that I trust and that I can afford to take my dog to. Read Less

The best of the best!How many people can say they LOVE going to their vet's office?  Our family definitely can!I trained and fostered two service dogs and the trio of veterinarians here: Dr. Carron, Dr. Ast and Dr. Adams are top notch.  My experience with these vets go back to the beginning of 2010, when Dr. Carron greeted Gucci and I for our very first visit (Gucci was my first dog ever).  He took the time to tell me basics about taking care of a dog AND the importance of training.  He spent a good 45 minutes with me to make sure I understood everything- so kind and patient.  Every time we went back, the friendly was always the same.  (Stacy is our favorite vet tech too!)Gucci had a couple of little mishaps, which is normal for a bumbly puppy.  Every time I called the office, they were very helpful and appropriately determining if we need to go to the office OR just wait things out.  Cajun was no different.  The staff met us with the same love and affection as with the first, and again with our third (our own puppy).  They love their jobs and our animals as much as we do, it is evident.  The Plaza Vet team also knows how to deal with the very difficult decision of putting an animal down.  When my 11 year old bunny starting having major issues that I couldn't help her with anymore, the office went through everything and made it as easy as it possibly could be.  They handled the situation so well for my baby girl and were so compassionate to our feelings.  We now have another little puppy for our very own- everything is the same!  We love going back to this office!
