I've been taking my cat to St. Louis Veterinary Center ever since I got her in 2015. I always have a great service for my cat's appointments. I'm taking her back to Korea and they are pretty much doing everything for me which is very convenient. Their deals are pretty great as well, much better than all the other vets around in St. Louis. If you are a college student, I recommend this vet over all others. They have pretty good deals compared to other vets and students can afford. My friends who have pets have been going here from my recommendation and they all like the place.

Love these guys ...I take my cats there to be boarded when we go out of town and have for awhile now . They take such good care of my 4 kitties. Donna is Wonderful! I would use them as a vet but they are too far away from me for those who need vetting although my cats get vetted there when they go in if they need their shots. Dr Matis is a great Dr and I have used her when I need expert handling for one of my pets and Dr Waganeck is very good and very nice too. Would highly recommend them as they are good vets and a good place as I trust my pets with them.

Almost two years ago now I brought my dog in after he was very viciously attacked by a great dane. I called St Louis Vet Center and asked if they could see him right away, knowing he would probably need some kind of surgery. They said yes without hesitation, and we were there within twenty minutes. The damage was worse than we thought, but they were so amazing. They did 3 day check ups until we were out of the woods, even showed me how to clean out his wounds properly, the staff all were so amazingly friendly, the price I paid was so crazy reasonable, and I cannot thank them enough. If you don't take your pet here you're truly missing out on top notch care!

The vet recommended euthanasia when all my cat needed was a laxative. My cat tested positive for Feline Leukemia, and my vet attributed her lack of appetite and inability to poop to the illness. The illness is fatal and incurable, but cats can live a while and have a good, comfortable life until it rears its ugly head. So the recommendation was off-base. Fortunately my wife figured it out, so we bought some Cat-Lax. Now our cat is fine. But this vet has lost our trust.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences at St. Louis Veterinary Center. The staff, vet techs, and veterinarian are always friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I trust them completely with my dog's health, safety, and comfort. The cost is low (based on experiences with previous vets in another state) and the techs even call after a visit to check in on their patients. I highly recommend them as any family's vet.We first started visiting after my dog broke his toe jumping around. The vet saw him right away and splinted his foot. We came back in every so often to have his foot examined and rewrapped. This was the best way to insure that he wouldn't need to go in for stressful and costly surgery. I'm so glad the vet recommended the course of action she took, because now he has a clean bill of health and he's a happy little Dude with no surgery!

If it were only really three times ( # of checkins) we have been here!!! We defaulted to this vet because they took care of our boy when he was first brought in as a stray by needypaws.org . We have been here numerous times and I always feel like he has gotten the best care. All of the people and especially Dr. Maddis are incredibly friendly and really care about my dog. Anyway, we have been here numerous times for everything from shots, check ups, growths and now a bite. As I have learned dogs aren't cheap and neither are the bonus trips to the vet. That's why I'm happy we stuck with St Louis Vet Center. It may not be fancy but they take good care of my boy!

Please Dr. Wagenknect - please don't euthanize the cats at JCAC shelter!! If there are rescues that want to take them please let them give them the love and care they deserve. You did take this oath, correct? When is putting an animal down that still has life to live and that someone is willing to care for 'relief of suffering'. This cat is NOT suffering.....he wants to live!! The Veterinarian Oath: Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, and to adhere to a code of conduct that ensures the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge. I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

In the past,this office was quite hectic due to the amount of patients that were scheduled. But,Dr Wagenknecht doesn't work with Barc anymore,so the patient load has been reduced. Even when time was limited,I was always happy with the service provided. He is very quick and efficient with spay and neuter. I've never had a large aftercare bill following a surgery he's performed. The animals actually came from the office happy and active as if nothing had occurred,and I would have to contain them to keep them from playing too much. In the middle of a rushed morning,he took the time to speak with me directly on the phone and apologize for a misunderstanding that occurred with the front office. He also briefly spoke with me in person to address concerns I had about anesthesia,even though it was bustling another morning. He truly wants you to do right by your pet and will work with you to assist in costs to provide the service your pet needs. I don't know about the situations concerning the bad reviews,but I am pleased with his experience. An affordable vet that can perform delicate surgery is hard to come by. I suggest having your conversation planned if you are concerned about not having enough time to speak. I don't think he's rude at all. Perhaps he's just short with nonsense.

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr Mattes and her staff. My cat was very sick and she was diligent in the diagnosis, they cared for my cat as their own, and her staff is also amazing. I felt so comfortable and no matter what she kept fighting for him and caring for him. She was honest with me and she earns your trust by being honest and explaining things so you understand. This battle was over years and she and her staff went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough. I will never use another vet and recommend her. She has a true passion and love for animals and most importantly she is knowledgeable and if she doesn't know she will tell you that and bring in experts or scholars in whatever the particular issue is.

This place is the best. I had taken my dog, Stella, here for her yearly check-up and all was normal and adequate. Recently, Stella ate rat poison and I needed to squeeze her in for a follow-up after her visit to a vet ER and STL Vet Center made time and squeezed her in at the last minute. They're reasonably priced; always ask before charging you for anything; the vets and techs are super amiable and sweet to Stella and myself; and, following Stella's check up, I've received daily calls just to make sure that she's okay and behaving normally. They're all you could ask for in a vet! Knowledgeable, caring, reasonably priced and friendly!

I'm so happy to have found this clinic which is close to my work. To me, I find that the staff and veterinarians here are more interested in the animals than making a profit like most other clinics. They do not try to 'upsell' - I never feel pressure to purchase these wellness plans that are actually a complete scam (qualified to say that thru personal experience). My pets enjoy being here, as well. I can only give high praises and recommend it to anyone. Have not yet utilized the pet sitting but from what I read, I definitely will the next time I need this service.

I have mixed feelings about this place.I get the impression it's a clinic that caters to lower-income pet owners. I'm pretty low income, so that's perfect for me.The staff was very friendly, and the doctors was the sweetest person in the world, and I had the impression they all really cared about and loved animals. The price was also very cheap: I just needed shots so they let me pay for the shots and did not include a mandatory exam, which every other place did include. They still gave my little guy a brief exam, at no charge, because it was his first time there. My only concern is that while I was waiting for the doctor, I saw a flea crawl into my cat's coat. I tried to catch it, but my cat was fidgeting and his coat is very thick. My cat is an indoor cat without any other animals inside, so he's not on any prevention, and I've never had a problem with fleas in the two other vet clinics he's been at. I brought this to someone's attention. They tried to find it, couldn't, and made the comment that that is one of the reasons you should keep your indoor cat on flea and heart-worm protection--because you don't know what they'll pick up or where. I disagree, especially with the potentially fatal reactions some cats can have to flea prevention medications. (Honestly, I don't let my cat roam outdoors for the same reason I don't take my cat to places that are potentially infested with fleas?)The clinic made it good and gave my cat a pill that killed all fleas within 30 minutes--for free. In the future, however, I'm going to need to weigh the risks against the benefits.

Unfortunately, I'm updating my review that I originally posted on 7/30/2013... Maybe they are under new management or something, because this doesn't seem like the same place I've been taking my dogs all these years. I have called 5 times in the past month trying to get my them in for a nail trim and shots, and they never have any openings. I wasn't even asking for a specific time, but the woman I spoke with over the the phone said they didn't have anything open until late April. It seems just a little ridiculous. To top it off, the new desk staff is less than friendly, not very helpful and definitely not flexible. They seem uninterested and definitely unapologetic about constantly being unable to make an appointment. It's a shame, but we are going to have to find somewhere else to take our dogs. ---------------------------7/30/13-----------------------------Very happy with STL Vet Center. They always get us in right away, the prices are fair, the staff is friendly and Dr. Maddis is wonderful. She takes her time to explain everything thoroughly, answers all of your questions and is very knowledgeable and friendly.

We took our dog here when I first adopted because the rescue used this vet. It was not a good experience. He did nothing but try to push purina dog food on us (we use blue buffalo), would not answer any of my questions about diet and nutrition, and spoke the entire time to my husband, rather than answering my questions directly (women will recognize this type). The exam itself was quick and rushed. He asked me five times if our dog is spayed, in spite of having the paperwork in front of him. Our dog comes from a trauma situation and he was very rough in handling her, making sudden gestures around her face and head. Our dog's problem was not properly diagnosed or explained and we had to take her elsewhere. The facilities were less than spectacular. I will say that, aside from the vet, the staff was very nice. I understand that this vet is cheap and that is a draw for myself and many other people, but I wouldn't take an animal I hated to this clinic, much less a beloved family pet.

I love this pet clinic, My cat goes on long trips with us to North Carolina and while traveling she feels the need to meow the whole 13 hour trip. I stopped by one day and told the Dr. my situation and he give me some meds to help keep her calm @ no charge. Also they board her for me ocassionally and leaving her behind is like leaving my child, but she is always happy and healthy when I pick her up. Even though she has bad attitude towards other animals, they still always work it out so she doesnt have to spend the whole time caged up. Very pleased with the service I recieve when I go there. Keep up the good work.

We have gone to Dr. Wagenknecht for over 20 years and have NEVER had a negative experience with him or his staff. He has taken care of every dog we have ever had. He's gotten them through some rough probelms and gotten us through also. He is very upfront and honest with you but he also sincerely cares about the animals and how they are being cared for. His staff is as caring as he is. His appointments are always on time unless an emergency comes in. Which is understandable to me since I have been that emergency more than once. I really love the way Doc cares about the welfare of the animals and making sure they are fed and taken care of properly. Very caring and will be our vet until he retires. I have read the negative revies in this column and I find them hard to imagine. I have been with him for over 20 years and NEVER had an experience anywhere close to what they say happened to them.They are GREAT at the St Louis Pet Clinic. And they just moved into a bigger more convenient location.

This clinic is really easy to get to, right near Grand Ave. and I-44. The parking lot is spacious and convenient. I have been in some clinics that seem crammed in the waiting room so all the pets AND the owners are anxious and upset, but here there is plenty of space. The Doc and his staff are very professional and very caring. Not long ago, I found a young dog who had been abandoned on the street and decided to keep her. Thanks to the helpful workers at the clinic, she is now spayed and growing stronger each day as she recovers from malnourishment and mistreatment. We are lucky to have such a Dr. and staff available in the St. Louis area. I understand they do a LOT of work with stray populations and animal shelters--THANK YOU!

Moved to the area 3 months ago. We took a puppy of ours to this vet/clinic and were treated with such disrespect when picking up our little one! I can just imagine the treatment our puppy experienced ""behind"" closed doors. A neighbor of ours went to a $10 vaccine event that this clinic participated in and said the same thing...there was a lady there from this place who was anything but nice or professional. We will not return and are seeking out an alternate facility. If possible I'd give them zero stars!

I've been taking my cat to St. Louis Veterinary Center ever since I got her in 2015. I always have a great service for my cat's appointments. I'm taking her back to Korea and they are pretty much doing everything for me which is very convenient. Their deals are pretty great as well, much better than all the other vets around in St. Louis. If you are a college student, I recommend this vet over all others. They have pretty good deals compared to other vets and students can afford. My friends who have pets have been going here from my recommendation and they all like the place.

Love these guys ...I take my cats there to be boarded when we go out of town and have for awhile now . They take such good care of my 4 kitties. Donna is Wonderful! I would use them as a vet but they are too far away from me for those who need vetting although my cats get vetted there when they go in if they need their shots. Dr Matis is a great Dr and I have used her when I need expert handling for one of my pets and Dr Waganeck is very good and very nice too. Would highly recommend them as they are good vets and a good place as I trust my pets with them.

Almost two years ago now I brought my dog in after he was very viciously attacked by a great dane. I called St Louis Vet Center and asked if they could see him right away, knowing he would probably need some kind of surgery. They said yes without hesitation, and we were there within twenty minutes. The damage was worse than we thought, but they were so amazing. They did 3 day check ups until we were out of the woods, even showed me how to clean out his wounds properly, the staff all were so amazingly friendly, the price I paid was so crazy reasonable, and I cannot thank them enough. If you don't take your pet here you're truly missing out on top notch care!

The vet recommended euthanasia when all my cat needed was a laxative. My cat tested positive for Feline Leukemia, and my vet attributed her lack of appetite and inability to poop to the illness. The illness is fatal and incurable, but cats can live a while and have a good, comfortable life until it rears its ugly head. So the recommendation was off-base. Fortunately my wife figured it out, so we bought some Cat-Lax. Now our cat is fine. But this vet has lost our trust.

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experiences at St. Louis Veterinary Center. The staff, vet techs, and veterinarian are always friendly, courteous and knowledgeable. I trust them completely with my dog's health, safety, and comfort. The cost is low (based on experiences with previous vets in another state) and the techs even call after a visit to check in on their patients. I highly recommend them as any family's vet.We first started visiting after my dog broke his toe jumping around. The vet saw him right away and splinted his foot. We came back in every so often to have his foot examined and rewrapped. This was the best way to insure that he wouldn't need to go in for stressful and costly surgery. I'm so glad the vet recommended the course of action she took, because now he has a clean bill of health and he's a happy little Dude with no surgery!

If it were only really three times ( # of checkins) we have been here!!! We defaulted to this vet because they took care of our boy when he was first brought in as a stray by needypaws.org . We have been here numerous times and I always feel like he has gotten the best care. All of the people and especially Dr. Maddis are incredibly friendly and really care about my dog. Anyway, we have been here numerous times for everything from shots, check ups, growths and now a bite. As I have learned dogs aren't cheap and neither are the bonus trips to the vet. That's why I'm happy we stuck with St Louis Vet Center. It may not be fancy but they take good care of my boy!

Please Dr. Wagenknect - please don't euthanize the cats at JCAC shelter!! If there are rescues that want to take them please let them give them the love and care they deserve. You did take this oath, correct? When is putting an animal down that still has life to live and that someone is willing to care for 'relief of suffering'. This cat is NOT suffering.....he wants to live!! The Veterinarian Oath: Being admitted to the profession of veterinary medicine, I solemnly swear to use my scientific knowledge and skills for the benefit of society through the protection of animal health, and to adhere to a code of conduct that ensures the relief of animal suffering, the conservation of animal resources, the promotion of public health, and the advancement of medical knowledge. I will practice my profession conscientiously, with dignity, and in keeping with the principles of veterinary medical ethics. I accept as a lifelong obligation the continual improvement of my professional knowledge and competence.

In the past,this office was quite hectic due to the amount of patients that were scheduled. But,Dr Wagenknecht doesn't work with Barc anymore,so the patient load has been reduced. Even when time was limited,I was always happy with the service provided. He is very quick and efficient with spay and neuter. I've never had a large aftercare bill following a surgery he's performed. The animals actually came from the office happy and active as if nothing had occurred,and I would have to contain them to keep them from playing too much. In the middle of a rushed morning,he took the time to speak with me directly on the phone and apologize for a misunderstanding that occurred with the front office. He also briefly spoke with me in person to address concerns I had about anesthesia,even though it was bustling another morning. He truly wants you to do right by your pet and will work with you to assist in costs to provide the service your pet needs. I don't know about the situations concerning the bad reviews,but I am pleased with his experience. An affordable vet that can perform delicate surgery is hard to come by. I suggest having your conversation planned if you are concerned about not having enough time to speak. I don't think he's rude at all. Perhaps he's just short with nonsense.

I cannot say enough kind words about Dr Mattes and her staff. My cat was very sick and she was diligent in the diagnosis, they cared for my cat as their own, and her staff is also amazing. I felt so comfortable and no matter what she kept fighting for him and caring for him. She was honest with me and she earns your trust by being honest and explaining things so you understand. This battle was over years and she and her staff went above and beyond and I cannot thank them enough. I will never use another vet and recommend her. She has a true passion and love for animals and most importantly she is knowledgeable and if she doesn't know she will tell you that and bring in experts or scholars in whatever the particular issue is.

This place is the best. I had taken my dog, Stella, here for her yearly check-up and all was normal and adequate. Recently, Stella ate rat poison and I needed to squeeze her in for a follow-up after her visit to a vet ER and STL Vet Center made time and squeezed her in at the last minute. They're reasonably priced; always ask before charging you for anything; the vets and techs are super amiable and sweet to Stella and myself; and, following Stella's check up, I've received daily calls just to make sure that she's okay and behaving normally. They're all you could ask for in a vet! Knowledgeable, caring, reasonably priced and friendly!

Dr. Mattes and the staff here are nice and truly care for animals. Vaccinations and exam prices are reasonable. We have been taking our dog here since he was a pup. He is now 7 mos old. Yesterday, our dog had some kind of an allergic reaction with swelling to his eye and snout. I called them one hr before closing and they are willing to see him as a walk in. Dog was feeling better within 45mins. Highly recommended.

My dog was hit by two cars today and St. Louis veterinary center was the closest vet to the accident. We rushed our dog there and the vet tech immediately took him to be checked out. No questions asked. The doctor was truly wonderful and kept us updated the whole time. They seem to genuinely care about animals and even concerned owners. They have definitely earned my business in the future. A big thank you to the whole staff for taking great care of Yoda!

We've been putting our trust in her for years and wouldn't have it any other way! Would give countless stars if we could. Everyone there is great, many thanks to all at The St. Louis Vet Center and especially to Dr. Mattes!

I'm so happy to have found this clinic which is close to my work. To me, I find that the staff and veterinarians here are more interested in the animals than making a profit like most other clinics. They do not try to 'upsell' - I never feel pressure to purchase these wellness plans that are actually a complete scam (qualified to say that thru personal experience). My pets enjoy being here, as well. I can only give high praises and recommend it to anyone. Have not yet utilized the pet sitting but from what I read, I definitely will the next time I need this service.

We took our 2 kittens to them last Oct to have them fixed and they did an awesome job! Our kitties were happy and healthy, no problems or complications, Staff was wonderful and very caring.. We are brining our newest babies (all 5 at once) tomorrow to get them fixed. They also have a spay/neuter clinic which when you have more than just one furbaby makes it affordable :) THANKS!!! Ya'll are amazing! :)

Very friendly, I love it! I've been 4 times now and I'll continue to take my dog there. I'm very particular about the care of my little companion and this place has my approval.

I have mixed feelings about this place.I get the impression it's a clinic that caters to lower-income pet owners. I'm pretty low income, so that's perfect for me.The staff was very friendly, and the doctors was the sweetest person in the world, and I had the impression they all really cared about and loved animals. The price was also very cheap: I just needed shots so they let me pay for the shots and did not include a mandatory exam, which every other place did include. They still gave my little guy a brief exam, at no charge, because it was his first time there. My only concern is that while I was waiting for the doctor, I saw a flea crawl into my cat's coat. I tried to catch it, but my cat was fidgeting and his coat is very thick. My cat is an indoor cat without any other animals inside, so he's not on any prevention, and I've never had a problem with fleas in the two other vet clinics he's been at. I brought this to someone's attention. They tried to find it, couldn't, and made the comment that that is one of the reasons you should keep your indoor cat on flea and heart-worm protection--because you don't know what they'll pick up or where. I disagree, especially with the potentially fatal reactions some cats can have to flea prevention medications. (Honestly, I don't let my cat roam outdoors for the same reason I don't take my cat to places that are potentially infested with fleas?)The clinic made it good and gave my cat a pill that killed all fleas within 30 minutes--for free. In the future, however, I'm going to need to weigh the risks against the benefits.

Unfortunately, I'm updating my review that I originally posted on 7/30/2013... Maybe they are under new management or something, because this doesn't seem like the same place I've been taking my dogs all these years. I have called 5 times in the past month trying to get my them in for a nail trim and shots, and they never have any openings. I wasn't even asking for a specific time, but the woman I spoke with over the the phone said they didn't have anything open until late April. It seems just a little ridiculous. To top it off, the new desk staff is less than friendly, not very helpful and definitely not flexible. They seem uninterested and definitely unapologetic about constantly being unable to make an appointment. It's a shame, but we are going to have to find somewhere else to take our dogs. ---------------------------7/30/13-----------------------------Very happy with STL Vet Center. They always get us in right away, the prices are fair, the staff is friendly and Dr. Maddis is wonderful. She takes her time to explain everything thoroughly, answers all of your questions and is very knowledgeable and friendly.

Terrible experience! understaffed, hectic, ANYTHING but friendly, and the vet has 0 bedside manner. Prices are low but NOT WORTH IT.

We took our dog here when I first adopted because the rescue used this vet. It was not a good experience. He did nothing but try to push purina dog food on us (we use blue buffalo), would not answer any of my questions about diet and nutrition, and spoke the entire time to my husband, rather than answering my questions directly (women will recognize this type). The exam itself was quick and rushed. He asked me five times if our dog is spayed, in spite of having the paperwork in front of him. Our dog comes from a trauma situation and he was very rough in handling her, making sudden gestures around her face and head. Our dog's problem was not properly diagnosed or explained and we had to take her elsewhere. The facilities were less than spectacular. I will say that, aside from the vet, the staff was very nice. I understand that this vet is cheap and that is a draw for myself and many other people, but I wouldn't take an animal I hated to this clinic, much less a beloved family pet.

I love this pet clinic, My cat goes on long trips with us to North Carolina and while traveling she feels the need to meow the whole 13 hour trip. I stopped by one day and told the Dr. my situation and he give me some meds to help keep her calm @ no charge. Also they board her for me ocassionally and leaving her behind is like leaving my child, but she is always happy and healthy when I pick her up. Even though she has bad attitude towards other animals, they still always work it out so she doesnt have to spend the whole time caged up. Very pleased with the service I recieve when I go there. Keep up the good work.

We have gone to Dr. Wagenknecht for over 20 years and have NEVER had a negative experience with him or his staff. He has taken care of every dog we have ever had. He's gotten them through some rough probelms and gotten us through also. He is very upfront and honest with you but he also sincerely cares about the animals and how they are being cared for. His staff is as caring as he is. His appointments are always on time unless an emergency comes in. Which is understandable to me since I have been that emergency more than once. I really love the way Doc cares about the welfare of the animals and making sure they are fed and taken care of properly. Very caring and will be our vet until he retires. I have read the negative revies in this column and I find them hard to imagine. I have been with him for over 20 years and NEVER had an experience anywhere close to what they say happened to them.They are GREAT at the St Louis Pet Clinic. And they just moved into a bigger more convenient location.

This clinic is really easy to get to, right near Grand Ave. and I-44. The parking lot is spacious and convenient. I have been in some clinics that seem crammed in the waiting room so all the pets AND the owners are anxious and upset, but here there is plenty of space. The Doc and his staff are very professional and very caring. Not long ago, I found a young dog who had been abandoned on the street and decided to keep her. Thanks to the helpful workers at the clinic, she is now spayed and growing stronger each day as she recovers from malnourishment and mistreatment. We are lucky to have such a Dr. and staff available in the St. Louis area. I understand they do a LOT of work with stray populations and animal shelters--THANK YOU!

Moved to the area 3 months ago. We took a puppy of ours to this vet/clinic and were treated with such disrespect when picking up our little one! I can just imagine the treatment our puppy experienced ""behind"" closed doors. A neighbor of ours went to a $10 vaccine event that this clinic participated in and said the same thing...there was a lady there from this place who was anything but nice or professional. We will not return and are seeking out an alternate facility. If possible I'd give them zero stars!
