Meadowbrook Veterinary Clinic

The women at the front desk are catty and rude. We have been feeding our cat expensive Rx food for years and they hassled me about needing to "see" him- ie, expensive bill for them to tack on- before they would let us buy any more food for him (seriously, it's food..) So I sent my husband the next time and they (several folks behind the counter) never said a peep to him which leads me to believe they're just full of attitude towards women. No matter, they want to make things difficult so we happily spend our money elsewhere and interestingly, this other place happily accepts it too. Skip this vet. Edited to add: I see they chimed in with a response and by their own admission, admitted that in fact it *is* possible to sell Rx food to a cat despite not having a recent check up (I guess the register still works, funny that) They simply insist on forcing upon you MORE COST that is completely unnecessary. I stand by my assertion that the women could use a refresher course on quality customer service. Much left to be desired here. Read Less

Absolutely fantastic. I had called Meadowbrook when my 16-year-old dog was acting unusual. We all knew that my dog was nearing the end of his time with us, and I didn't want to subject him to extensive testing and prodding. The staff understood this, and without pressuring me, made arrangements for an appointment to make sure my pup was comfortable. Unfortunately, my dog decided that it was his time to go before we made it to the appointment. When I called, the staff was warm, compassionate, and helped me through the next steps. I've been to several veterinary clinics, and would immediately recommend Meadowbook Veterinary Clinic over all of the others in the area. Read Less

The doctors and staff are extremely caring and truly love their jobs. They all went above and beyond for when I had to put my best friend down and cried with me afterwards. You'll never find a clinic with more compassion and care for animals. Read Less

Not going there anymore! I've been here and their sister location- Breckenridge several times and I must say, not impressed, especially with their young vet. I usually go there for the routine vaccinations bc my dog goes to daycare and requires them but I've also been there at least twice for more serious health concerns with my dog and twice he has been absolutely wrong! The first time my dog was paralyzed for a day and night due to medication they gave him (which I found out it was a side effect online but they told me to keep giving it to him). I was crying and scared the whole time. Fortunately once the medicine wore off, he started getting better. The second time, good thing I got a second opinion by another vet because again it was incorrect diagnosis and treatment plan! Soooo done with this place! I found a new place to visit! The new vet was so friendly and explained every step so I knew exactly what was going on and understand the diagnosis and treatment. Read Less

This review is specifically for Dr. Osbourne. He is great with my dog and cat! I have seen the other doctors but he is my favorite. He is always helpful and has answers without me having to spend a ton of money. Read Less

Fantastic experience made possible due to the office staff. Thank you for taking good care of our Miss Lulu.  A special thank you for being exceptionally great with my mom...She appreciated that her questions and concerns were all addressed with honesty. Read Less

PLEASE DO NOT TRUST YOUR PRECIOUS ANIMALS WITH THESE INCOMPETENTS. Your animal will trot in with a small malaise and never walk out. While I understand things happen, knowing the background of everything, I promise there are better places to treat your animals! Please, please listen to me because I don't want what occurred with me happening to you. Read Less

Until a week ago, I thought this place was fantastic and been taking my pets there since they were home-visits only in 1976 before they had this office setup. However, last week they caused a spinal cord "flare up" in my dog, have charged me hundreds of dollars to do figure out what's wrong, sold me meds I can't give the dog until he starts eating again, and haven't yet accepted responsibility for hurting him in the first place even though clearly something happened during his all-day visit for a routine teeth cleaning. The dog walked in just fine, and has been unable to hold himself up and in extreme pain for almost a week, throughout most of which they claimed this was "normal" behavior. They've had a lot of personnel changes in the past year or two, and we've been seeing more and more little issues like clipping his toenails too short and the dog was starting to balk at going in there. This should've been a major red flag for me that something was up.Read Less

This vet has been great! We have multiple pets and with those pets come many visits to the vets. We have found this office to be very professional and efficient. They are always able to get an appointment quickly and we never have to wait to see the vet. The staff there always takes the time to answer all our questions and fully explain everything to us. The team of vets are the best around! We have used a few others in the area before finding this team! Regardless of the vet on duty you can always be confident that your pet is getting the best of care. I was surprised to see a negative review for them specifically Dr.Osborne. He has been nothing but great with us and our animals. Friendly caring staff that really care for the animals the way they treat them and take care of them. I was surprised to read that that particular pet owner waited (5) hours to contact and check on the status of their pet. The staff is always willing to provide status updates over the phone whenever your pet is in for a procedure. They always do for us...... Read Less

They are always trying to sell more services than required. If you refuse, they will treat your dog harshly and it happened right in front of my eyes. I especially hate one particular nurse/intake that is tall and hefty blonde. She is harsh with animals and seems to have no love for pets. Has no common sense that pets are afraid as they know they are going to get the shots but she is very impatient when dogs panic and want to get back to their owners. Not sure how she was hired. The doctors seem to be nice and so are the intake nurses. Hence the 3 stars. Read Less

Very very very dissatisfied with my service I received at this place. My dog needed a simple 3 stitches in her ear after it had been slit from playing with a sharp-tooth puppy. I dropped her off on the morning and they said they would be done within 3 hours. I heard nothing after about 5 hours so I called and they told me that they tried to sew her ear without any sort of medication and "were shocked when she freaked out" and that they were going to give her medication to calm her down and try again. I called 2 hours later when I hadn't heard anything and they nonchalantly told me "oh yeah, she had a bad reaction to the medication and is having severe and repeated panic and crying attacks and while we had her on the table, she jumped off and now has major bruising on the insides of her legs." At that point, I became LIVID!! What good vet would let a dog jump off a table?? She could have broken a leg!! And they didn't even call me about it?!! Then, an hour later, they tell me she's finally ready and I pick her up and she's absolutely shaking in fear. I know the difference between fear and pain in a dog and she was in absolute fear. I pick her up and she's got blood all down her neck, absolutely saturated. They didn't send her with any pain medication or antibiotics. When I looked at her legs, it was clear that the bruises were NOT from "jumping off a counter", but from the rough grip of fingers and hands, as they were on the inside of her legs and were the shape and size of finger prints. When I confronted them about the bruising, they claimed "it happens when we have large breeds like her." She only weighs 40 pounds!! I honestly believe that, because she is a pit mix, they're completely discriminatory. My dog is the nicest dog that most people have ever met and I know without a doubt in my mind she did NOT deserve this horrible abuse. I should have pursued the case further, but after the scare and absolute Hell they put me and my dog through that day, I sobbed tears of relief just to have her alive and home. Not to mention, when her ear finally healed, I discovered that they completely botched the stitches and her ear now has a large hole/slit in it. It was a CLEAN straight slit when I brought her in and now, it looks like a small animal took a bite/chunk out of her ear. Bottom line: DO NOT BRING YOUR ANIMALS HERE!! These people are absolutely insane and I have never had a more negative experience in my life. Animals do not deserve to be treated as poorly as these people treated my girl. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!! Read Less

Took my new  bulldog to this vet. Dr Collier was extremely rude and she's very unprofessional. I will not be going back. It's a shame because I do hear there are some nice vets here, but they rotate :( Read Less

I have been a customer for about 17 years. The staff has taken wonderful care of our dogs. They care about them, and they call seem to be kind, compassionate professionals. Years ago one of our dogs was poisoned, and he was in the clinic's care for a week. They did blood transfusions (with one of the vets own dogs). They saved his life. Years later that same dog died suddenly. The staff went the extra mile and found he had a tumor on his heart -- saving us the agony of wondering what happened. I recommend the clinics highly.

I've been taking my pets to Meadowbrook and Breckenridge Clinics for almost 15 years.  Last year, I rescued a 3 week old kitten and they were wonderful with him.  He was very constipated, which is a dangerous thing for a tiny kitten, so they helped me help him poop.    This year, my husband adopted a puppy from the Humane Society, and they've been great with her, too.  It's clear that everyone who works there (not just the docs) loves animals.

I just took our Wheaten Terrier to Meadowbrook and Breckenridge Veterinary Clinic (Dr. Gretchen Kronsbein, DVM) for an ear infection. We have gone to another good clinic since Marley was born but it was so far away (40 min. drive) that I wanted to try someplace closer that this clinic had been recommended. I was so impressed with Dr. Kronsbein - she spent so much time getting to know Marley on the floor - which is where she did the exam and treatment - so much more comfortable for an anxious animal! At our previous clinic, he urinated on the table every time we went out of fright! They also treat small mammals. I would highly recommend Dr. Kronsbein! Read Less

The doctors at Meadowbrook and Breckenridge Clinics are absolutely the best anywhere. Since my English Bulldog was a puppy they have been taking care of her. As most Bulldogs do, she has quite a few health issues and everyone has been addressed with care. I highly recommend these doctors to all my friends and would like to do so here as well. Read Less

I've been taking my pets to Meadowbrook for 12 years.  They've been great with my rescue dog,  who had hookworm, heartworm and dental issues in the past year.  The staff know Elvis by name and even nicknamed him "Lake Elvis" for his tendency to pee as soon as he walks in the door.  They're really great about that - they never act annoyed or put out when he has an indoor accident and always clean it up with zero attitude.  Prices are pretty average for vet services.  Dr. Christlieb (the owner) is great.  He's very gentle and caring with my dog, as is everyone.  One time, one of the assistants helped pull my cat out from under the front seat of my car, where he wedged himself on the ride over (don't worry, kitty rides in a carrier now).  They even bandaged my wound when my cat went all Tasmanian Devil on us during a routine visit.  Good people.
