Harris Boulevard Veterinary Clinic

First, Everyone at this Vet's goes out of their way to make things good for our pets. Lacey and Natasha like the boarding staff, and seem glad to see them. We had only one problem , (at one time) and this was taken care of promptly. We have been going to this Vet ever since they opened, and are very satisfied with the service. Read Less

I am extremely pleased with the staff and the work performed. I recently took my two dogs in for their yearly physicals, as well as dental work for one of them. One of my dogs has anxiety and can be fearful, which becomes pretty intense when visiting any veterinary clinic. The first time we visited this office, they introduced us to "happy visits" and also took the time to educate us on various other methods to improve her association with veterinary clinics. The next couple of visits were for my other dog, but they made sure to give the one with anxiety plenty of attention (and treats). By the 4th visit, she's already improved SIGNIFICANTLY all thanks to the CARING and PATIENT staff at Harris Boulevard Veterinary Clinic. I was also very nervous about taking my other senior aged dog in for dental work (because of the anesthesia and needed tooth extraction), but once again Doctor Gold made all of my fears go away. This place is wonderful and has become a pleasant experience for both myself and my dogs. Definitely does not compare to other clinics that I have been to in the past. Read Less

People at the front desk have zero personality and seems like it’s such a displeasure to be talking to you. Also their physical exams on dogs have a lot to be desired. However, I had a great experience with the vet who did my dogs surgery which turned out well. However, the customer service is just terrible. I called once to get advice on what to do with my dog because she’s extremely high anxiety and we were going on a big trip. I wanted to find out if they recommended medicating her or anything else that could help. Person that answered the phone was of no help and said they couldn’t help because she was overdue on a vaccine! I then asked if they could please help me with a solution or recommendation for this trip and they literally said “no.” and that was it. Needless to say I’ve taken my dog elsewhere and am relieved by the wonderful care and customer service I’ve received. They are much more thorough. I also don’t like how they take your animal “in the back” to do shots, take blood, etc. My new vet does it all in front of me where she is more comfortable. Read Less

This vet has been extremely kind to us. We moved to the area a little under two years ago, and they were the closest vet. Good reviews had us excited, and they didn't disappoint. They were extremely kind to both our animals, and provided us analysis on our little weird one that no other vet had pointed out (an existing condition we were unaware of.) We unfortunately moved far enough away a visit there would become a huge chore, and when we requested their documents (to provide to our new vet,) they responded in kind just minutes after the request. Love Harris Boulevard Vet Clinic and I'd suggest them to anyone who wants the best for their pets. Read Less

Never used this clinic as vet for our pets, so this review is not about vet care because might be very good. We had an emergency due to my father's death in Europe. I had to choose a place for our German shepherd to spend 8 days very fast. We picked him up in the morning. We were told he was eating well but when my husband brought him home in 8 days he lost so much weight. At home I fed him, he ate as he was so hungry and we have one of those very finicky eater shepherd. After that he drank 4 bowls of water! I know they don't provide water to drink at all times for dogs so they don't have to take them out so often or clean up after them. Cages are just concrete, just like kill animal shelter I got so many dogs out. No access to the outside when they need to go. Do not recommend as boarding place. Read Less

I was very happy with the staff and doctor at Harris Blvd Vet Clinic. I brought my pup in without an appointment for an emergency visit and they were able to squeeze me in between appointments. They were all very caring and concerned only for the health of my dog, not just trying to oversell me on "treatments" like most practices will do. I will be making them my primary veterinary for both dogs after this experience. Read Less

Only been here once but I love Dr. Gold. He took time to make my dogs comfortable, got on the floor with them to give their shots and didn't push them. He understands their moods. Got back to me quickly on tests and prices were reasonable (for Charlotte) Read Less

Great vet experience! I came in with my first foster dog and it was amazing! Dr. Loveless and Tony were a great help, they were very nice and not judging me for all my ridiculous questions. I was nervous coming to the clinic with my first foster dog but they helped me and informed me on everything from flea/tick prevention to what food to feed him. Thank you! Read Less

we love this vet. 100% recommend them. ....................................................................................................................................................................... Read Less

My cats get excellent care from Dr. Loveless and the staff. Both are now elderly with health issues and one is a particularly assertive cat. They are both treated with love and patience. Dr. Loveless explains their problems and his treatments very well. When my third cat became so ill a few years back that it was obvious she was not going to make it, Dr. Klein was very caring and helped her move on without pain, and his assistant actually teared up comforting me.

I found a puppy in a box last night while driving to Charlotte from Ohio. Called them to see about a same day appointment to make sure he was OK and they got me right in. Everyone was so nice and friendly (animal people in other words :D ) and got taken care of and if I lived in the area I would definitely stay with this place! Will let my local family members know to take their animals here.Read Less

We've been taking our cat here the past four years, and have always appreciated the care and attention our kitty receives from Dr. Loveless and the assistants. Our cat in particular has special needs, since he gets cage rage and will hiss and spit and growl at anything that moves. Despite his bad attitude, Dr. Loveless pets him and calms him down as much as possible. He seems to know when their bark is worse than their bite. We originally came to the Harris Blvd Vet Clinic because our cat had a perpetual ear infection, despite medicines. Another vet in southern Charlotte wanted to charge us an unbelievable amount just to check if he had ear polyps, then even more to remove it. Dr. Loveless confirmed it was a polyp during normal exams, and the price for the surgery to remove it was half that of the other vet clinic! And he followed up with several phone calls to make sure Kel was recovering. Not to mention all the other great services they offer... Saturday appts, house calls during the week if you can't travel with your pet, pet boarding and sitting. Although we haven't used any of these services, we would be very comfortable with any of them, because we know they'd be up to the same standards of care our cat has received these past three years. Their website is awesome compared to some vets too, so it's very easy to see what services are available. I will note that you should not spend the money to get your cat spayed or neutered here, however. Since they don't do these services often, they charge a great deal.Read Less

Our Dog Marko unfortunately has had 2 surgeries for Luxating Patellas (floating kneecaps) Both surgeries by Dr Loveless were successful. We could not be more pleased with the Doc and all the staff at this wonderful clinic. Marko is even excited to come back for checkups and see everyone. Thank you for the kindness you showed to our sweet, energetic Marko. Read Less

Everybody was so nice and showed me that they truly care. It was the day before Thanksgiving at 4pm and they never rushed me. Dr. Loveless took the time to check my doggy and he even took extra time to check the ingredients in my dog's food to make sure that he was getting the right amount of protein. The service they offered me was excellent, I can tell that Dr. Loveless really care about his patients. I am happy I have found a good place to take my furry babies. Read Less

How unethical is it for Harris Blvd Veterinary Clinic to perform a surgical procedure (ACL/Cruciate Repair) on my pet on 11/4 and then not want to follow through on the after care and basically refuse to provide any further services on his treatment.. I was under the impression that in this field your priority is in regards to the pets well being and health but I guess to this place my pet is just another file and more money in their pocket! I've been behind the scenes and I have seen it all. My heart goes out to the owners who don't see what is being done behind the scenes and how they are being grossly overcharged. I would never recommend anyone bring their pet to this filthy, rundown, and unethical facility! Read Less

I have been bringing my two dogs to Harris Boulevard Veterinary Clinic for the past 3 years and have had nothing but fantastic experiences every time. They are always able to get me in on short notice if anything comes up. My poor golden retreiver has chronic ear infections and Dr. Loveless has always been able to get those under control when they come up. They really seem to care about my pets as well as myself. The staff always knows who I am without even having to ask which is very nice and makes me really feel comfortable there. I have referred them to friends and family members and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my babies care.Read Less

I called in advance to let this vet know that my dog was in heat and I needed to board my male AND female. Neither had been fixed. I asked if this was a problem and there quick answer was ofcourse not. So I took both of my labs in to be boarded for about a week and a half. I mentioned again once walking into the door that my female was in heat and that they needed to be kept seperately. As I began to fill out and sign the paperwork, one of the vet technicians came up and asked if my dog was in heat and said that they were locked up in the back. They tried to convince me that my dog probably wasn't pregnant after one lockup. I asked if she was what the options were because I do not have the time or facilities to raise a litter of puppies as I stay in an extremely small apartment. They said to bring her in at 40 days and they could take an xray and spay her if needed.Well at 37 days, I called back and said she was definitely pregnant and what they were going to do to help. They told me that they couldn't do anything because if they were, they had to do it at 30 days. Obviously displeased, I asked what they were going to offer to do to help and their only answer was they could give the puppies away for me. I don't need help getting rid of full blooded labrador retrievers. I need help raising them for six weeks as it was their fault. The admin there told me she felt like I was trying to take advantage of them and get a free spay. I expressed that after 3 years of not spaying my hunting dog, I had no intentions of spaying her. Still they offer no help, but they didn't hesitate to take $460 of my money. They have poor communication with each other AND they don't supervise the dogs they let into the back. VERY POOR SERVICE AND PROFESSIONALISM!Additionally, the facilities and its staff seemed like it was complete chaos. The only reason I left my dogs is because I was in a pinch and had no other choices as I had to do something right then. I was going to hope and pray for the best. The A/C was not working as I was sweating just standing in the lobby. The staff that make the appointments are completely rude and have no knowledge of their jobs. Any dog lover with good general knowledge of dogs could challenge any of these helpers and quickly realize they aren't fully qualified to entrust one of your beloved pets to. Dr. Loveless on the other hand was what I would expect at a Vet. I cannot say the same for his staff who actually handles the animals. Read Less

I adopted an 8 yo Beagle and found this clinic online. For 1-1/2 years, we were treated like family. Gracie was seen by Dr. Horton, Dr. Cheeseman and Dr. Loveless. and received the best of care by all. Sadly, I had Gracie put down last year and Dr. Cheeseman tried to prepare me. She thought Gracie was older than I was told, and knew she had serious problems. When I took her to be put down, it was the most loving and compassionate service that ever could be offered. One of the nurses put a blanket on the floor so that I could hold Gracie, and while I was trying hard to keep it together, Dr. Cheeseman let her tears flow as she administered the cocktail to Gracie. Now I have another 8 yo and of course we go to Harris Blvd. Vet Clinic. Read Less

I recently moved to Charlotte and as a housewarming gift my brother gave me a puppy. Per the breeders instructions I had 72 hours to take the dog to the vet and get a checkup. If I didn't I couldn't get a refund of my money if anything was wrong with the dog. I found a vet close to my house and made an appointment. When I arrived at the vet they informed me that the doctor canceled my appt and I would need to reschedule a week later. I told them my story and that it would be too late. They didn't care. So I told them to forget about it I would find another vet. I went home and started looking for another vet. I was discouraged because it was the last day and it was already 4:30pm. I found Harris Blvd Vet and figured what the heck let me see if they will take me. They said if you can get here by 5:30pm we will see you. I raced over and was greeted by the NICEST people ever. I was a little worried after reading the two reviews about rude front desk people. They must have let that person go. They were so wonderful and attentive. A week later, I changed my dogs food and she began vomitting. As a new owner I panicked. I called them and once again they told me to come right over (it was closing time again). Dr. Cheeseman saw my dog and gave me some medicine. She called me for 3 straight days from her cell phone to make sure my dog was ok. Dr. Cheeseman and the staff at Harris Blvd are wonderful and I would recommend them to any and everyone. Hope this review helps. Read Less

We have been going to Harris Blvd. vet clinic for 3 years now. Through that time, They cared for our aging Golden and 6 months after we moved here sadly, we had to put him down. The vets were sooo compassionate. We then adopted our St Bernard. He had some major medical issues and required emergencey surgery to save his life . All the vets came in on their day off and saved him. We just ahd Charlotte our 10 year old St bernard put down as she could no longer walk. The vets were amazing and caring an called us to see how we were. Our 5 yr old St Bernard is doing wonderfully, (the one they operated on). He also went through a second serious surgery. These vets are outstanding. Heather the hospital manager is fantastic. and he staff has always been caring, professional and compassionate towards us.I will go to them as long as they are there. They have us as lifelong clients. Read Less

The staff is INCREDIBLE! Extremely friendly, always greet me by my name and ALWAYS greet my dog with kisses and cuddles. Dr. Cheeseman is an incredible vet. Extremely passionate about the care she provides, and about your pet. I've never felt more comfortable having someone care for my pets, as I do than with the folks at Harris Blvd Vet Clinic. Rubi thinks it's a fun trip to go visit the vet. She gets very excited when I tell her we are going, and thinks it's too much fun. To me, seeing her happy, is a true testament to just how wonderfully treated she is there. She recently had a lump removed from her paw, and I received the best care and follow-up attention that I could have ever asked for. Dr. Cheeseman called us to make sure Rubi was doing well. Everytime I called, the staff always asked how she was doing. If you want quality service, great care, attention to every detail about your pet, and peace of mind knowing your pet is in great hands.....bring them to Harris Boulevard Vet Clinic. You won't be disappointed! Read Less

I have been coming to this clinic for many many years now. I have never met a great group of people. When you walk into the office, it does not smell like a vet office. When I walked into the clinic, Heather, was all ready for me. She was very up beat and wanted to talk to me about my day and about Daisy my dog. I loved being put into a room right away. Dr Horton, the new Dr, has been a great addition to the staff there. They put my mind at ease about Daisy and I knew that she would be okay. I have never met a more kind and caring group of individuals. I send everyone I know there. If you have a pet, please go see them. Read Less

After moving to North Charlotte, I needed to find a vet for my two cats and dog. Harris Blvd was close to my work, so I chose to go there. I have never gotten such good service anywhere else. I found the staff helpful, and Dr Cheeseman and Dr Lovelace to go above and beyond it caring for my pets- Dr Lovelace has called me at home after sick visits to make sure my animals are doing well. One tech named Heather was very knowledgeable, and spoke with me at length over the phone when I called with a question, and Dr Lovelace called me back within a short time period- and gave me advice that kept me from having to come in. I would send all my friends and family to Harris Blvd, and will use them as my vets for my current and any future pets. Read Less

I agree with the first reviewer! Very RUDE RUDE RUDE front desk people. I had a bill put in my name that was clearly an error. Called to rationally talk about and was hung up on and refused to help me. I don't know who operates this place but I would NEVER trust my beloved pets to people who obviously have no compassion or tact!! Choose a different vet!!!!!!!!!! Very unproffesional people!

We put our two dogs up to kennel here for four nights. (We just moved to Charlotte and they had not been seen prior to this by a vet at this office.) When we went to go pick them up, we were greeted by the rudest, most unpleasant human being I have ever encountered. After paying for our pets, a fellow vet tech at the front asked if she had applied all discounts. Our rude person patted her on the shoulder and said, of course; then left the room. The fellow vet tech looked over our bill and said that Rude Person had ""forgotten"" to apply a certain discount (about $40, for boarding 2 pets at one time). When Rude Person returned, we told her she had forgotten. She then, VERY rudely, said, ""Well, she can help you with that"" (pointing at fellow vet tech) - even though there were 2 people in line at fellow vet's register! We literally had to stand there while she REFUSED to help us! As we were standing there, she actually offered to help the people in line at fellow vet's line, instead of us! The woman she offered to help was elderly. Rude Person said, ""can I help you?"" and the elderly lady, obviously hard of hearing, said, ""what?"". Rude Person replied, ""fine, stand there all day for all I care."" !!! As we were leaving, we realized we were missing some items we'd dropped off with our dogs. Forced to go back to Rude Person, we explained the situation. She insisted we had everything with us. Finally, we got someone else to help us, and they went back right away and got our missing items. I highly recommend that you not take your pets to a place that employs such horrible, angry human beings - who knows what they are doing to our pets when we're not looking? Read Less

I have been seeing the vets at Harris Boulevard for eight years and have nothing but praises for the staff. These are caring, capable professionals who have taken as good of care of my pets as I could ask for. Routine visits are always smooth, and sick visits are handled with concern and careful detail. When we recently found out our senior golden retriever had cancer, Dr. Lisa Cheeseman carefully delivered the news to us, and both she and Dr. Loveless assisted us through the process of putting her to rest with dignity. I could not have gone through all of that with anyone less caring and compassionate than this team of doctors. My pets will always see the great doctors at Harris Boulevard. Read Less

I have a chin who had damaged her eye. After calling every exotic pet vet in charlotte this vet was the ONLY one that even said they could definitely help me. I can not even begin to explain how impressed I was. The staff were amazingly caring and sensitive to the pets that were there, just from what I witnessed. The amount of time that Dr. Wheelock took with me and my pet was stunning. Not only did he care for her and get me exactly what I needed to get her back to health but he called an optimologist to ensure that nothing further needed to be followed up. Futher more... He went over general help/care tips for chinchillas. Everything from games I can play, to stimulation and even dieting! Basically, I live over an hour away... and am going to begin taking my dog and my cat up to them... It is worth it! PS: I would also suggest to anyone who has reptiles.. TAKE THEM TO SEE HIM!
