I have to say that Gentle Doctor Veterinary Clinic is a truly caring and compassionate clinic. Our Gigi was a 16 year old mini schnauzer who was going downhill for several months. We finally decided after long discussions, to have her put down because we just couldn't let her suffer any more. When we went to Gentle Doctor to help us with this very hard decision, they were so compassionate and professional thru the whole process. They have a separate room that we were escorte...d to that was off to the side of the office and out of the way of their normal area where all people bring in their pets to be seen. They gave us time to say our goodbyes and allowed us to sit with her for as long as we needed. As we were leaving that day, the staff all expressed their condolences as we walked out. The other very impressive and sweet thing they did for us was making a footprint of our Gigi in clay so we could have a memory of her. I thought it was such a sweet touch. About 4 days later, we received a sympathy card in the mail with the signatures of all the staff members and notes from the veterinarians that were there that day, along with the Over the Rainbow Bridge poem. I thought it was such a sweet and compassionate gesture on their part. As I read it, I cried all over again! I felt they all really understood our pain and did let us know that they understood how hard it was to say goodbye to one of the best dogs I ever had the pleasure of knowing. I would definitely recommend this clinic. They supported us in our decision and made us feel we i did the right thing. If you are looking for a vet who really cares about your pet, Gentle Doctor Veterinary Clinic is the best place to take your furbaby. I think you will be impressed with them too. See More

The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and professional. They got my dog in quickly for a trim and check up. I have taken my girl to quite a few groomers and usually get a negative report about her behavior during grooming, here they said she was a typical wheaten and tried to fend them off but came around. If that was a ploy, it worked because we will definitely be switching to Gentle Doctor for not only grooming but for all of our veterinary needs from now on! Thank you!

My dog had always received great care there. The vet techs are amazing. I brought my big guy in for a condition called nasal arteritis which is common in Saint Bernards. The vet was not willing to meet me halfway with the recommended treatment and instead scared me into thinking it was probably cancer. I have a wonderful knowledgeable Saint Bernard group on Facebook who told me the recommended treatment he needed. The vet and vet tech pretty much told me her degree trumped everybody else's knowledge about this disease. She sent me home with 2 syringes of epinephrine which doesn't fix the main issue. I finally took my dog to a new vet who agreed with the diagnosis of nasal arteritis. Told me a biopsy could lead him to bleed out. Have me the proper medication treatment and he's doing so much better. I know vets have the degree but we live in the age of social media where we can research what our animals need. I'm absolutely blessed that I found this new vet who knew right away what my dog had without needing an unnecessary biopsy! Gentle Doctors are good for regular checkups but if your animals have any type of disease, be wary because they sometimes have the notion that their degree means more than what we learn on our own research!

They never make me feel slighted because my fur babies are a bully breed and they are always open, honest, ethical and helpful.

Took my dog to Gentle Doctor for an exam to discuss a teeth cleaning and possibly a few extractions. They charged me $200 for that exam and the "pre cleaning blood work" that was "highly recommended". I asked for a quote before I scheduled the cleaning. Got the official quote the next day... $1,005.13. What the?! Took him to another vet, who is very reputable, and the same exact quote was $375.00. Will NEVER go back to Gentle Doctor. Their main, and possibly only focus, is on "up-selling" you and apparently charging upwards of double for the exact procedure you could get somewhere else. This isn't about the money, I would pay endless amounts, if it's what my dog needed. It's about the pure robbery. The doctor was very nice, however, not $600+ worth of nice. Ridiculous.

They are wonderful. They are very helpful. My dog is hyper and I took him in to get help putting on his flea medicine. Then I asked the vet a number of question about what I should do about his barking and if he was the right weight. How do I know if his nails are to long. She took time to answer all of my question. I really appreciate this vet.

We have been going to this veterinarian office for several years now and are very happy. We originally made a change because our cat was having severe allergic reactions to the rabies vaccines at other veterinarian offices. Once we made the change to gentle doctor he is been doing very well with the vaccine. Furthermore, earlier this year he began peeing in the house, and we were unfortunately, ready to put him to sleep. The veterinarian at gentle doctor encouraged us to test him for urinary tract infection which is exactly what he had. With her support, we were able to get him treated, he is now healthy and has had no accidents in the home in months. We were thankful that the veterinarian took the time to explain everything to us so we could keep our cat. The staff is very friendly and the doctor takes the time to make personal calls whenever you need it. They offer whatever advice and support that you need to keep happy and healthy pets in your home.

Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital at 89th Grant St. has some of thee best vet techs & vets I have ever had the privilege of knowing. My little Frankie has been visiting way too often these days, and yesterday we had to put him on meds again. Dr. Karen Stokes thanked me for giving my rescue pugs a better life. (Ugh...lump in my throat) she looks at me & my sick furbaby with so much empathy & compassion. We are so blessed. P.S. Dr. Pete Bashara diagnosed my Joe pug's skin issue & it was cleared up after struggling with not knowing what it was for a year.

Took my dog to Gentle Doctor for an exam to discuss a teeth cleaning and possibly a few extractions. They charged me $200 for that exam and the "pre cleaning blood work" that was "highly recommended". I asked for a quote before I scheduled the cleaning. Got the official quote the next day... $1,005.13. What the?! Took him to another vet, who is very reputable, and the same exact quote was $375.00. Will NEVER go back to Gentle Doctor. Their main, and possibly only focus, is on "up-selling" you and apparently charging upwards of double for the exact procedure you could get somewhere else. This isn't about the money, I would pay endless amounts, if it's what my dog needed. It's about the pure robbery. The doctor was very nice, however, not $600+ worth of nice. Ridiculous.

I've been a loyal Gentle Doctor customer for over 12 years. They have taken excellent care of my 4 fur kids and have provided much love and support for 3 of them as they passed over the Rainbow Bridge. The staff is very friendly and always provides thorough examinations and follow-up.

They are wonderful. They are very helpful. My dog is hyper and I took him in to get help putting on his flea medicine. Then I asked the vet a number of question about what I should do about his barking and if he was the right weight. How do I know if his nails are to long. She took time to answer all of my question. I really appreciate this vet.

To be positive that your pet is getting the best possible care than I would highly suggest bringing them to Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital. They provide the best available care in the Omaha area.

My dog and I arrived at Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital and we were automatically greeted upon entering the building. The receptionist at the hospital was very friendly. She made sure to notify the doctor that we were new patients and I was just very impressed by the overall experience.

They have been great when our pets have been seriously ill. Jasper, our cat was treated for a blocked urethra a few years ago, our dachshund Nigel had a bladder infection, and our boxer Vinnie had pancreatitis last summer. All were treated promptly and professionally, The staff cares about the pets in their care and they receive plenty of TLC as well as the proper medical care. We are very happy with Gentle Doctor and love Dr. Thomassen!

We have been going to this veterinarian office for several years now and are very happy. We originally made a change because our cat was having severe allergic reactions to the rabies vaccines at other veterinarian offices. Once we made the change to gentle doctor he is been doing very well with the vaccine. Furthermore, earlier this year he began peeing in the house, and we were unfortunately, ready to put him to sleep. The veterinarian at gentle doctor encouraged us to test him for urinary tract infection which is exactly what he had. With her support, we were able to get him treated, he is now healthy and has had no accidents in the home in months. We were thankful that the veterinarian took the time to explain everything to us so we could keep our cat. The staff is very friendly and the doctor takes the time to make personal calls whenever you need it. They offer whatever advice and support that you need to keep happy and healthy pets in your home.

Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital at 89th Grant St. has some of thee best vet techs & vets I have ever had the privilege of knowing. My little Frankie has been visiting way too often these days, and yesterday we had to put him on meds again. Dr. Karen Stokes thanked me for giving my rescue pugs a better life. (Ugh...lump in my throat) she looks at me & my sick furbaby with so much empathy & compassion. We are so blessed. P.S. Dr. Pete Bashara diagnosed my Joe pug's skin issue & it was cleared up after struggling with not knowing what it was for a year.

We have had vets in the past that for the life of me don't understand why they are in the business. They were not compassionate and even rough with them. I remember my first call to them was because of the name "Gentle Doctor" and they have never made me think differently. Love the care we get for our animals. Thanks you!
