Dr Karl should lose her license to practice on animals. She is very nice on the surface but essentially killed my golden. She removed 3 good teeth out of a 13 year old golden and then lied about how many she pulled. She is ethically compromised. But I had her examined and we found at another hospital that my dog did not have abscess and she took 3 not 2 good teeth. A fistula was present due to her fighting with solid teeth. My dog ended up with staff- sores all over her body which Karl said was cancer. There are no words. She over vaccinated as well. She loves surgical procedures- must be worth more money. And challenge her- you'll find out her true character. Please- if you love your animals- stay clear of this lady! She hasn't been an "animal doc" in many years. She's broken. Read Less

The Falconbridge team is awesome! My three current cats (and one past cat) all have been treated here since probably 2013 (maybe longer). My vet (Keri Reeves) is always responsive to questions and concerns. The entire staff works tirelessly to care for many different types companion animals. They even support meals on wheels and have a fundraiser every year for it. I have never known a vet practice like Falconbridge. They genuinely care about the health and wellbeing of all the animals they treat. Read Less

I cannot say enough great things about this Vet. Dr. Karl, Dr. Lang, and ESPECIALLY Dr. Reeves are absolutely one in a million. The level of love and care provided is unparalleled. I dealt with a dog with a long term illness and they went out of their way to provide top notch care to my pet, and honestly to me as well as I dealt with such a difficult experience. They take time to truly get to know your pet and their needs, and honestly care for everyone who walks in the door. Prices are competitive, the facilities are excellent, and the staff treat their patients and owners like family. I will never go anywhere else. Read Less

I have been taking my little guy Biggie to Falconbridge since he was a small pup, which is now more than 10 years ago. We have had great care, starting with basic preventative care and now more complicated care for heart failure. I appreciate the speedy and courteous care we get from office staff, vet techs, and vets. I also like that the same folks have been working there for a while, so they know who we are. They always answer the phone promptly, and if I have a question, I know they will call me back the same day (can't even get *my* doctor to do this!). My blended family now includes a second dog, and they take great care of him as well. Thanks to everyone at Falconbridge! Read Less

This place is amazing. I took my beloved dog there for 8 years and Dr. Keri Reeves was amazing. When I first started seeing Dr. Reeves I had a very sick pet who had been misdiagnosed and overmedicated by previous vets. She restored her health and kept her healthy, happy, and strong during our entire stay in NC. Dr. Reeves is an angel who truly loves animals and it shows. The office staff has changed over the years and currently there are some new people there that are a little less friendly but I didn't mind too much. Dr. Reeves is patient, loving, and very thorough. She answers questions and goes over everything with you so you can make the best decision for you and your pet and more importantly, you can TRUST her. My heart breaks knowing she will no longer be looking after my 11 year old dog because we moved out of state. Your fur baby will be in excellent, loving hands at Falconbridge. In the triangle, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

So we were nervous to board our dog here because usually we have family watch her, and last time we actually boarded her-our dog came back snappy and very timid which is the complete opposite of how she usually is. We swore we'd never board her at Petsmart again and just have family watch her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed last minute, so we had no choice but to board her again. We have a friend who works here as a vet tech, Jayne-and she LOVES animals and takes very good care of them. So we figured if she works here, it can't be bad. We dropped Peanut off. They had us fill out a decent amount of paperwork which is fine with me, I like knowing that they have all the info they need on her and all the numbers they need in case of emergency. As a new client, you do have to have your dog examined by one of their vets-which added $25 to our cost-but once again, it's nice that they actually care and want to cover all bases. Plus when we board in the future now she's in the system and doesn't need to do that again. You just have to either give them a print out of your pets shots or have your vet fax it to them which is what we did.When Peanut first arrived she was scared. As I mentioned, she's had bad experiences with boarding before. The ladies at the front desk were quick to be nice to her and hold and pet her. There were other dogs being dropped off too that she seemed to mesh well with, so that was reassuring. So we dropped her off and were on our way.The entire weekend went by and we didn't get a phone call which meant there were no emergencies, or any problems that crept up. When we went to pick her up today, we were so pleased. Before she even saw us we could see her jumping around down the hallway with the vet tech who was bringing her to us, and she looked so happy. This was a much different Peanut than the shaky timid dog that we picked up from past boarders. So they get 5 stars, they took really good care of her. Of course she was even happier when she realized we were there to get us, but like I said, she wasn't unhappy at all even before seeing us. We will definitely bring her back here for boarding needs in the future! And for dogs under 30 lbs, boarding is only $23 a night which is very good in my opinion. Read Less

I've been going to Falconbridge for several years, and I loved it so much that I convinced 2 friends to transfer their pet care here. However, over time, I've noticed that they've become more expensive, much busier, and less responsive. One vet at Falconbridge has been so fantastic that she's made these inconveniences worth it. She takes time to help me research all my potential treatment options, frequently makes the post-visit phone call herself, is patient with my decision-making,and supports me when I choose less invasive tests and treatments for my 14-year-old dog. Other vets in this clinic have recommended regular blood tests for my dog, despite my preference to keep him on his arthrirtis pain and T-storm anxiety medications despite elevated liver values (what good's a liver to an old dog who hurts all the time?) The awesome vet is moving out-of-state, and I'm going to try to find another clinic in the area with a vet who shares her compassion for old dogs and their doting owners. Read Less

Having moved around quite a bit over the years, I've seen my fair share of vets in a variety of cities. Yet, Falconbridge Animal Hospital is -- by far -- the best.I adore the staff here. They're always incredibly friendly, and very helpful when it comes to scheduling a grooming, or getting a refill in medication. And, for the first time in what feels like forever with a Vet, Dr. Reeves actually took the time to really look at my dog and talk to me about treatment options for his allergies. You could tell she took a genuine interest in the pet's health, rather than just giving him a cursory glance and making sure his vaccinations were up to date.Whether you're boarding (never had an issue on short notice!), getting a check-up, or looking for grooming (Pinkie is outstanding)...you cannot go wrong with FAH.

I have been bringing my dog and cat to Falconbridge for four years now, and could not be happier with the quality of care they've received there. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and seems to have low turnover as there a quite a few familiar faces. My dog is generally terrified of the vet, so he usually comes home with a small plush toy as a bravery souvenir from the staff. The prices are reasonable, and I've never felt they've taken advantage of me. They also have an online pet portal for prescriptions renewals and appointment reminders, which is super helpful. I've had very bad experiences with my previous vet in Greensboro, and I'm so happy to have found a trustworthy animal hospital. Read Less

We brought our pup there to stay overnight because it was more convenient and close to where we work. When we arrived, we were met with a smiling associate but the place must have been disorganized because it took her about 10 minutes to find the vaccine paperwork sent over from our regular vet and about another 10 minutes for them to come and get her from us. Luckily we allowed enough time so that we weren't late for work. We came in expecting to pay a nightly stay fee and a regular entry exam because they have never seen her before. Then we received a call at work saying that during her exam, they noticed that her urine was cloudy and that they needed to do a urine dialysis which would be about $26. This was said over the phone. Because they sounded urgent like something was wrong, we, being new puppy parents, thought that an extra $26 was ok to test the urine. Our pup was completely fine and the urine came back normal. The next day when we went to pick her up and the bill ended up being $44 for the urine dialysis. I'm upset because we didn't budget more than $50 for everything and ended up spending about $86. I feel like we were tricked and preyed upon. Of course we want the best for our pup, but I think telling us one price on the phone and then basically doubling the price is unfair, I think that if they told us that it would be $44 on the phone, we probably would have asked a few more questions about her behavior, if she was acting strange or lethargic etc to make a better decision on whether to have them test it. To me it's like going to get your oil change expecting to pay 40 and then all the sudden you need to replace your filter, windshield wipers etc. My dog is not a car, she is a member of my family and I don't like being jerked around and tricked into paying for things that she doesn't need.Also, I was expecting to learn more about how she was while she was there, being a first time client, I wanted to know how she reacted and interacted with other dogs, people etc. Being a puppy, I want to make sure she gets the best care possible as well as learn about how I can be a better trainer and puppy parent for her. She is a great dog but I know she still has a few things we can curb as she continues to mature and grow. They did not give me any information which I felt was a little disconcerting. I've learned my lesson. I will not be going back to Falconbridge, I will make other arrangements with my regular vet, Brentwood Animal Hospital, whom is amazing and honest and genuine.Maybe in the future, I would suggest putting things in writing, like an email or text,  instead of saying things over the phone, might lessen the miscommunication and or clarify the procedures being done.

I can't stress enough how important it is to be very cautious about veterinary care. Dr. Karl is a great surgeon. She does a lot of surgeries. Between surgeries and an extremely large number of "required" immunizations, it's a lucrative business model I'm sure. She fails to get diagnostics to support her opinions and in my case, it created a situation which led to a horrendous torture of my dog until she had to be put down because the infection created was so bad. When a person is completely unable to admit they have made a mistake, to themselves as well as to you, they do things like pulling good tooth after good tooth after good tooth to prove to themselves they are right. So, my poor dog underwent serious trauma which lit a more serious ailment on fire and caused a terrifying experience for both my dog and myself until she finally had to be put down. Even in the face of documented diagnostic evidence afterwards, she still would not admit error and blamed the client. Malpractice is an understatement ... she should lose her license and her half of the practice shut down. It's a sad day when someone who makes an oath to do no harm to animals chops away recklessly with no conscience. I now have to live with making the decision to trust her only to find out what kind of vet and character was really underneath it all. Read Less

This place is the absolute best. I've had dogs for 5 years and have moved a lot, so I've been to lots of vets, and none come close to Falconbridge. Everybody here is extremely friendly, and more important, the vets and techs never try to run up the bill. I was ready to have several expensive procedures for my dog, and the vet suggested way cheaper alternatives to try first--and they worked! Every time after I've come in for an issue with my pup they've called a few days later to check in and offer advice. And when I was out of state for the summer and needed help getting heartworm meds, they went out of their way to help. This is an extraordinary, special vet that's worthy going out of the way for. 5 stars. Read Less

My last visit was an almost total failure: Dingbat vet assistant is too busy telling me about her dog and what she gives him to listen to what I have to say about my dog's health issues. "Ok, I will check out fish oil," I say, and she goes to get the vet. Our regular vet is on vacation, but I was not told this when I scheduled the appointment, and the fill-in vet is not super sharp. She hardly looks at the notes/records and asks me if my dog is on any medications; when I say Frontline, she offers to renew the prescription, but I tell her that Frontline has been available OTC for the past year or so. Then I spot the dingbat assistant with a tether around my dog's head and dragging him across the lab floor. This is not ok. He is a rescued mutt and hardly a pampered pooch, but he is also 14 years old with a history of spine issues and arthritis pain. I stop everything there and point out that this is nominally a "senior wellness" visit and that I expect better care and handling of my elderly dog. The lab gets quiet like I have spoken out in class and the assistant agrees to use the leash and chest harness that was already hooked up. I feel like I have stepped across the divide between the "aren't you a cutie" customer-facing front end of the business and the product-moving, butts-in-cages backend operation.Later, as I'm checking out, I mention that I am not happy with the treatment, and I am essentially told that I can take my dog's records with me and go to another vet. I was already going to do that, but I thought I would just share my experience with you. Thanks. Read Less

Our 3 and a half month old Goldendoodle puppy went to Falconbridge for her 3rd round of shots and a routine check up. During the visit the Veterinarian suggested that she be trimmed around her eyes by the groomer to prevent irritation. Sounds reasonable! Minutes later the puppy was returned with her entire face shaved down to her skin. The formerly beautiful puppy was shaved not just ""a little around the eyes"" as had been suggested but completely around her entire face. A disaster! It is difficult to take an adorable young puppy and in only minutes ruin her appearance but at Falconbridge they managed just that in their grooming facility with the Vet apparently standing by letting it happen! The Vet apologized for the mistake and offered a ""discount"" on future grooming services! There have been no other offers of restitution for this mistake and in fact a refusal by the hospital to make any amends other than cost free verbal apologies when asked. Beware, this is a business that cares little for customer/client satisfaction when a mistake occurs on their part. Mistakes occur in every business and it's the actions taken to satisfy the client after such mistakes which indicates high quality. Falconbridge's actions following this mistake indicate just the opposite in our opinion. Read Less

Dr Karl should lose her license to practice on animals. She is very nice on the surface but essentially killed my golden. She removed 3 good teeth out of a 13 year old golden and then lied about how many she pulled. She is ethically compromised. But I had her examined and we found at another hospital that my dog did not have abscess and she took 3 not 2 good teeth. A fistula was present due to her fighting with solid teeth. My dog ended up with staff- sores all over her body which Karl said was cancer. There are no words. She over vaccinated as well. She loves surgical procedures- must be worth more money. And challenge her- you'll find out her true character. Please- if you love your animals- stay clear of this lady! She hasn't been an "animal doc" in many years. She's broken. Read Less

I cannot say enough great things about this Vet. Dr. Karl, Dr. Lang, and ESPECIALLY Dr. Reeves are absolutely one in a million. The level of love and care provided is unparalleled. I dealt with a dog with a long term illness and they went out of their way to provide top notch care to my pet, and honestly to me as well as I dealt with such a difficult experience. They take time to truly get to know your pet and their needs, and honestly care for everyone who walks in the door. Prices are competitive, the facilities are excellent, and the staff treat their patients and owners like family. I will never go anywhere else. Read Less

I have been taking my little guy Biggie to Falconbridge since he was a small pup, which is now more than 10 years ago. We have had great care, starting with basic preventative care and now more complicated care for heart failure. I appreciate the speedy and courteous care we get from office staff, vet techs, and vets. I also like that the same folks have been working there for a while, so they know who we are. They always answer the phone promptly, and if I have a question, I know they will call me back the same day (can't even get *my* doctor to do this!). My blended family now includes a second dog, and they take great care of him as well. Thanks to everyone at Falconbridge! Read Less

This place is amazing. I took my beloved dog there for 8 years and Dr. Keri Reeves was amazing. When I first started seeing Dr. Reeves I had a very sick pet who had been misdiagnosed and overmedicated by previous vets. She restored her health and kept her healthy, happy, and strong during our entire stay in NC. Dr. Reeves is an angel who truly loves animals and it shows. The office staff has changed over the years and currently there are some new people there that are a little less friendly but I didn't mind too much. Dr. Reeves is patient, loving, and very thorough. She answers questions and goes over everything with you so you can make the best decision for you and your pet and more importantly, you can TRUST her. My heart breaks knowing she will no longer be looking after my 11 year old dog because we moved out of state. Your fur baby will be in excellent, loving hands at Falconbridge. In the triangle, I wouldn't go anywhere else. Read Less

So we were nervous to board our dog here because usually we have family watch her, and last time we actually boarded her-our dog came back snappy and very timid which is the complete opposite of how she usually is. We swore we'd never board her at Petsmart again and just have family watch her. Unfortunately, circumstances changed last minute, so we had no choice but to board her again. We have a friend who works here as a vet tech, Jayne-and she LOVES animals and takes very good care of them. So we figured if she works here, it can't be bad. We dropped Peanut off. They had us fill out a decent amount of paperwork which is fine with me, I like knowing that they have all the info they need on her and all the numbers they need in case of emergency. As a new client, you do have to have your dog examined by one of their vets-which added $25 to our cost-but once again, it's nice that they actually care and want to cover all bases. Plus when we board in the future now she's in the system and doesn't need to do that again. You just have to either give them a print out of your pets shots or have your vet fax it to them which is what we did.When Peanut first arrived she was scared. As I mentioned, she's had bad experiences with boarding before. The ladies at the front desk were quick to be nice to her and hold and pet her. There were other dogs being dropped off too that she seemed to mesh well with, so that was reassuring. So we dropped her off and were on our way.The entire weekend went by and we didn't get a phone call which meant there were no emergencies, or any problems that crept up. When we went to pick her up today, we were so pleased. Before she even saw us we could see her jumping around down the hallway with the vet tech who was bringing her to us, and she looked so happy. This was a much different Peanut than the shaky timid dog that we picked up from past boarders. So they get 5 stars, they took really good care of her. Of course she was even happier when she realized we were there to get us, but like I said, she wasn't unhappy at all even before seeing us. We will definitely bring her back here for boarding needs in the future! And for dogs under 30 lbs, boarding is only $23 a night which is very good in my opinion. Read Less

I've been going to Falconbridge for several years, and I loved it so much that I convinced 2 friends to transfer their pet care here. However, over time, I've noticed that they've become more expensive, much busier, and less responsive. One vet at Falconbridge has been so fantastic that she's made these inconveniences worth it. She takes time to help me research all my potential treatment options, frequently makes the post-visit phone call herself, is patient with my decision-making,and supports me when I choose less invasive tests and treatments for my 14-year-old dog. Other vets in this clinic have recommended regular blood tests for my dog, despite my preference to keep him on his arthrirtis pain and T-storm anxiety medications despite elevated liver values (what good's a liver to an old dog who hurts all the time?) The awesome vet is moving out-of-state, and I'm going to try to find another clinic in the area with a vet who shares her compassion for old dogs and their doting owners. Read Less

Having moved around quite a bit over the years, I've seen my fair share of vets in a variety of cities. Yet, Falconbridge Animal Hospital is -- by far -- the best.I adore the staff here. They're always incredibly friendly, and very helpful when it comes to scheduling a grooming, or getting a refill in medication. And, for the first time in what feels like forever with a Vet, Dr. Reeves actually took the time to really look at my dog and talk to me about treatment options for his allergies. You could tell she took a genuine interest in the pet's health, rather than just giving him a cursory glance and making sure his vaccinations were up to date.Whether you're boarding (never had an issue on short notice!), getting a check-up, or looking for grooming (Pinkie is outstanding)...you cannot go wrong with FAH.

I have been bringing my dog and cat to Falconbridge for four years now, and could not be happier with the quality of care they've received there. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and seems to have low turnover as there a quite a few familiar faces. My dog is generally terrified of the vet, so he usually comes home with a small plush toy as a bravery souvenir from the staff. The prices are reasonable, and I've never felt they've taken advantage of me. They also have an online pet portal for prescriptions renewals and appointment reminders, which is super helpful. I've had very bad experiences with my previous vet in Greensboro, and I'm so happy to have found a trustworthy animal hospital. Read Less

We brought our pup there to stay overnight because it was more convenient and close to where we work. When we arrived, we were met with a smiling associate but the place must have been disorganized because it took her about 10 minutes to find the vaccine paperwork sent over from our regular vet and about another 10 minutes for them to come and get her from us. Luckily we allowed enough time so that we weren't late for work. We came in expecting to pay a nightly stay fee and a regular entry exam because they have never seen her before. Then we received a call at work saying that during her exam, they noticed that her urine was cloudy and that they needed to do a urine dialysis which would be about $26. This was said over the phone. Because they sounded urgent like something was wrong, we, being new puppy parents, thought that an extra $26 was ok to test the urine. Our pup was completely fine and the urine came back normal. The next day when we went to pick her up and the bill ended up being $44 for the urine dialysis. I'm upset because we didn't budget more than $50 for everything and ended up spending about $86. I feel like we were tricked and preyed upon. Of course we want the best for our pup, but I think telling us one price on the phone and then basically doubling the price is unfair, I think that if they told us that it would be $44 on the phone, we probably would have asked a few more questions about her behavior, if she was acting strange or lethargic etc to make a better decision on whether to have them test it. To me it's like going to get your oil change expecting to pay 40 and then all the sudden you need to replace your filter, windshield wipers etc. My dog is not a car, she is a member of my family and I don't like being jerked around and tricked into paying for things that she doesn't need.Also, I was expecting to learn more about how she was while she was there, being a first time client, I wanted to know how she reacted and interacted with other dogs, people etc. Being a puppy, I want to make sure she gets the best care possible as well as learn about how I can be a better trainer and puppy parent for her. She is a great dog but I know she still has a few things we can curb as she continues to mature and grow. They did not give me any information which I felt was a little disconcerting. I've learned my lesson. I will not be going back to Falconbridge, I will make other arrangements with my regular vet, Brentwood Animal Hospital, whom is amazing and honest and genuine.Maybe in the future, I would suggest putting things in writing, like an email or text,  instead of saying things over the phone, might lessen the miscommunication and or clarify the procedures being done.

I can't stress enough how important it is to be very cautious about veterinary care. Dr. Karl is a great surgeon. She does a lot of surgeries. Between surgeries and an extremely large number of "required" immunizations, it's a lucrative business model I'm sure. She fails to get diagnostics to support her opinions and in my case, it created a situation which led to a horrendous torture of my dog until she had to be put down because the infection created was so bad. When a person is completely unable to admit they have made a mistake, to themselves as well as to you, they do things like pulling good tooth after good tooth after good tooth to prove to themselves they are right. So, my poor dog underwent serious trauma which lit a more serious ailment on fire and caused a terrifying experience for both my dog and myself until she finally had to be put down. Even in the face of documented diagnostic evidence afterwards, she still would not admit error and blamed the client. Malpractice is an understatement ... she should lose her license and her half of the practice shut down. It's a sad day when someone who makes an oath to do no harm to animals chops away recklessly with no conscience. I now have to live with making the decision to trust her only to find out what kind of vet and character was really underneath it all. Read Less

This place is the absolute best. I've had dogs for 5 years and have moved a lot, so I've been to lots of vets, and none come close to Falconbridge. Everybody here is extremely friendly, and more important, the vets and techs never try to run up the bill. I was ready to have several expensive procedures for my dog, and the vet suggested way cheaper alternatives to try first--and they worked! Every time after I've come in for an issue with my pup they've called a few days later to check in and offer advice. And when I was out of state for the summer and needed help getting heartworm meds, they went out of their way to help. This is an extraordinary, special vet that's worthy going out of the way for. 5 stars. Read Less

My last visit was an almost total failure: Dingbat vet assistant is too busy telling me about her dog and what she gives him to listen to what I have to say about my dog's health issues. "Ok, I will check out fish oil," I say, and she goes to get the vet. Our regular vet is on vacation, but I was not told this when I scheduled the appointment, and the fill-in vet is not super sharp. She hardly looks at the notes/records and asks me if my dog is on any medications; when I say Frontline, she offers to renew the prescription, but I tell her that Frontline has been available OTC for the past year or so. Then I spot the dingbat assistant with a tether around my dog's head and dragging him across the lab floor. This is not ok. He is a rescued mutt and hardly a pampered pooch, but he is also 14 years old with a history of spine issues and arthritis pain. I stop everything there and point out that this is nominally a "senior wellness" visit and that I expect better care and handling of my elderly dog. The lab gets quiet like I have spoken out in class and the assistant agrees to use the leash and chest harness that was already hooked up. I feel like I have stepped across the divide between the "aren't you a cutie" customer-facing front end of the business and the product-moving, butts-in-cages backend operation.Later, as I'm checking out, I mention that I am not happy with the treatment, and I am essentially told that I can take my dog's records with me and go to another vet. I was already going to do that, but I thought I would just share my experience with you. Thanks. Read Less

Our 3 and a half month old Goldendoodle puppy went to Falconbridge for her 3rd round of shots and a routine check up. During the visit the Veterinarian suggested that she be trimmed around her eyes by the groomer to prevent irritation. Sounds reasonable! Minutes later the puppy was returned with her entire face shaved down to her skin. The formerly beautiful puppy was shaved not just ""a little around the eyes"" as had been suggested but completely around her entire face. A disaster! It is difficult to take an adorable young puppy and in only minutes ruin her appearance but at Falconbridge they managed just that in their grooming facility with the Vet apparently standing by letting it happen! The Vet apologized for the mistake and offered a ""discount"" on future grooming services! There have been no other offers of restitution for this mistake and in fact a refusal by the hospital to make any amends other than cost free verbal apologies when asked. Beware, this is a business that cares little for customer/client satisfaction when a mistake occurs on their part. Mistakes occur in every business and it's the actions taken to satisfy the client after such mistakes which indicates high quality. Falconbridge's actions following this mistake indicate just the opposite in our opinion. Read Less
