If this is such a great business I'm wondering why there are two five star reviews from Lori Glieden and Tyler Glieden, respectively the sister and husband of Amber Glieden, a vet who works here. Seems like manipulation of the Google review system and not very ethical. Also makes me wonder how many other reviews aren't real. Disturbing for a business you entrust with your beloved pets.

Dr. Glieden and staff are awesome! They were so kind and helpful when I had to put my previous cat to sleep, and they are great with handling my 2 new (difficult) kitties. You can tell they are all animal lovers...even the naughty animals. I highly recommend Pavek! Read Less

Wasn't very comfortable, didn't have separate areas for cats and dogs. We think our cat came home with ear mites. He was clean (no issues) according to vet. Whom was very nice, but clinic just wasn't pet friendly. New location is better than last parking etc. However, prices are competitive and environment is not. Read Less

I have been taking my Dogs to Dr Pavek since the early 80's off and on. He is a distance from my house but every time one of my Dogs needs surgery I always use Pavek Animal hospital. Last year my Puppy Mill Dog needed surgery and a teeth cleaning. I was so worried about her having the surgery. They helped me rest assure all will be fine and they were right on. I even got to take her home early. They are the BEST! Read Less

I've been coming to Dr. Pavek for about 10 years with cats and dogs. Dr. Glieden is a GREAT addition to the office. I couldn't be happier with the care she recently gave to a new kitten of mine that I adopted from the human society, who had some serious issues. Read Less

Dr. Pavek and his staff are simply "Top Notch"! He is professional, caring, gives it to you straight, and will take care of all your babies. He has taken care of 4 of my dogs and my 2 cats. Trust me...they are there to wipe your tears. The staff all remembers your animals, and yesterday they were all in to visit my cat Honey. They also wanted to know how our new Kitty Pepper is doing. His new office is open, spacious, and clean!I truly only have raving reviews and complete respect for Dr. Pavek and his practice. Btw, it is true he will take your pet home and both Dr. Pavek and Jane will care for them. How can you really ask for anything more? Read Less

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Pavek and his staff.  I've been bringing my beloved kitty here for a few years, after receiving a referral from a friend whose family has brought all of their pets there since she was a little kid.  Most recently, Mrs. Kensington (my kitty) became sick at the end of August, when she suddenly began throwing up, a highly unusual occurrence for her.  After a couple examinations, one which revealed she was super "backed up" (followed by a kitty enema and kitty laxatives), and one with blood work (which came back totally normal) and barium testing (a little suspect at first, but then looked fine several hours later), it was suspected that she had a severe case of gastritis.  Since we were heading into a long holiday weekend when the clinic would not be opened, the staff gave me their home & cell phone numbers, just in case.The following day (Saturday), Mrs. Kensington was no better.  In fact, she had declined rapidly.  She was in hiding, hadn't eaten for days, and was obviously not improving.  Panicked, I called Dr. Pavek, who told me to bring her in right away for exploratory surgery.  I dropped her off, sobbing, and they explained it would just be a routine laparoscopy with a very small incision, and said they'd give me a call once the surgery was done.  They went in, expecting that they'd find some foreign object lodged somewhere along her digestive track.  It was so much worse than that.  Part of her intestine was black, totally necrotic, dead.  My poor sweet kitty had 7" of her intestine removed that day.  Since she clearly was not well enough for me to bring her home, Dr. Pavek and his wife brought her home with THEM.  And took care of her all weekend.  Getting up in the middle of the night with her to give her fluids, antibiotics and pain meds.  Coaxing her to eat.  Monitoring her to see she was pooping.  Fielding phone calls from a hysterical human (me) asking about her condition.  I was able to bring her home the following Tuesday.  I then spent every waking moment of the next two weeks in the spare bedroom with Mrs. Kensington.  Watching to make sure she wasn't pulling at her stitches.  Feeding her 1/2 tsp of food every couple of hours. Cheering every time she made a poopy.  And just snuggling with her, talking to her, petting her, cherishing every moment, not knowing if she would make it out of the woods.  After two weeks, I brought her back to get her stitches out, and she's been doing awesome since.When the results of Mrs. Kensington's tissue sample came back as cancer, I was totally devastated. However, since it is "small cell" (slow growth) lymphosarcoma, and because the surgery most likely removed all the cancerous tissue, I have opted not to put her through any more treatment at this time--poor little kitty has been through so much.  She may have a recurrence, and she may not, but I don't want to selfishly extend her life if it means reducing the quality of it.  Today, she is doing amazing!!!  She hasn't thrown up in weeks (only a couple times since her surgery, and most likely due to the antibiotics or pain meds she was on then), her appetite is back with a vengeance, she poops everyday (hooray!), and is more social and playful than she's been in many months.  I am so grateful to Dr. Pavek and his staff for saving her life.  I don't have children, so this kitty is like my baby.  I have loved her and cared for her for 8 years, since she was a kitten, and I hope to share many more years with her.

I adopted 2 cats last year from the Humane Society and chose Pavek to use as my "free vet visit". First impressions I was a little hesitant. The place is kinda old and not very "modern" with their equipment.Dr. Pavek himself was very friendly but his vet tech looked ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED at the prospect of dealing with my 2 very friendly new cats. The visit went well but wasn't super impressed as he used what looked like a baby scale from the 50's to weigh the cats. Vet tech looked terrified the entire appointment and even when I offered to help him hold/put away the cats in their crates he refused and that did NOT put me at ease. The staff was moderately friendly but nothing super noteworthy. Fast forward 1 year, I have since found a new vet and needed my records faxed to them and it took 5 phone calls (FIVE!!!) before things were finally faxed to my new vet. Bottom Line: Not impressed, Pavek looked like he was very close to retireing and the shop was in DESPERATE need of some cosmetic upgrades. Choose some place else. Read Less

I would like to share a story about the greatest vet I have ever met and the miracle he performed on my dog. Dr. Pavek found a tumor on my 9 year old rescue bishon mix. He operated the very next day. At the start of the surgery the clinic called and told me how the tumor was massive and it wrapped around her aorta and her other main blood arteries. They asked what I wanted to do. The thought of losing my baby was absolutely heart-wrenching. I told them to leave it up to Dr. Pavek as to how we should proceed. Dr. Pavek went above and beyond my expectations and was in operating for 3 hours to save my little girl. For the next 2 nights he even took her home with him to make sure she was okay. On friday and saturday I had trouble with medications and he met me at the clinic each night. I think most vets would have said that it was too late and we would have to put her down. I now my baby back home, again making my life much better. She would not be here today without the expertise of Dr. Pavek. I cannot thank them enough for what they did. I hope he works for another 30 years! Read Less
