Dr Gillis is a wonderful vet. She takes her time to make sure all of your questions are answered. Never makes you feel rushed. Her staff members are kind, knowledgeable and professional. I highly recommend Forsyth Veterinary Hospital! Read Less

Staff was nice. Had dog boarding here,and when she was picked up,she smelled terrible,like pee and poop mixed with some type of dog perfume,I had to give her a bath as soon as I walked in the house. The smell was so strong it transferred to the hoodie I had on. She used the bathroom on herself at some point during the boarding stay,and we were charged for Hazardous waste. My dog also had a seizure today,and even tho they were polite about it,they basically told me that I should take her to the Carolina Veterinary Specialist,since they had too much going on there,and couldn’t give us the best care. I switched vets. Oldtown Veterinary Hospital was able to get her in,do a exam/blood work,and urinalysis in less than 2 hours,and sent us home with a prescription for the seizures,until we can figure out our next course of action,after we get the test results back tomorrow.I’m not sure what was going on there today,but the nasty remarks in her file that you had faxed about her “nails being so long it’s surprising she could walk” was a bit snotty. You do not know the story on how we adopted her and gave her a better home,her owner wasn’t able to get her groomed,and trim her nails,they were much worse before we took her to her first grooming session,the dog hadn’t been vaccinated,and had fleas out the wazoo. She has long nails,but let’s not act like we didn’t do anything about it,because we paid twice at this establishment to have them trimmed. With professional trimmings,they have gotten better,excuse me for not wanting to injure her when she flops around and nips at me,while I’m trying to cut them every week. She could get around just fine,so I appreciate you,not helping much. At least ya’ll were nice in person. Read Less

Staff was friendly and nice, however I took my pet to them last week and explained everything that was going on with him. I even dropped him off to be examined for what I explained what was going on. And we were told that he seems healthy and fine and could not really see anything wrong. We took him back home and the same problems were on-going with him. We paid money for someone to tell us that he was healthy and fine and didn't seem dehydrated. Needless to say our pet passed away on Sunday morning. We were not prescribed anything to give him after we explained the problems he was having. Read Less

I can't say enough about the people and care at Forsyth Vet Hospital. They're just kind people who really care about the animals. Our dog Elsie is what we call our "special case". She doesn't like being handled by other people, gets anxious, etc... They do great with her! I've also noticed that the people working here stick around that tells me they're doing something right! The great people they have wouldn't stay if they weren't appreciated and well taken care of. This all shows in the way they take care of their clients. I love this vet! Read Less

Boarded my dog here for the first time. Very affordable and they provide the food, which is nice. However, every time I contacted them, they seemed unorganized. I told them that my dog is not great around other animals. When we came to drop my dog off, there were cats roaming, and I mentioned again that my dog is not comfortable around other animals since the previous owner had not socialized him. They seemed to have forgotten that and I suppose it was not listed it in his notes, as other boarding facilities tend to do. Every time I called, they also asked how long he was staying there, as if it was not documented somewhere. I was also misquoted as to how much it would cost to board my dog. After already paying for the week, they called me stating that they forgot to charge me a $30 fee for picking him up on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. They originally told me this would be a $10.00 fee, not $30 to simply pick him up. I also called to check in on how my dog was doing, and the staff was not very friendly and seemed bothered by the fact that I had called to check in on him. Lastly, he received a vaccination while boarding. I requested the record multiple times. On the last attempt, I received an email, but it had the list of vaccinations I had provided to them, rather than a document explaining the vaccination they gave him. I called to inquire about this and the person acted like I couldn't read an email and didn't believe me when I stated they sent over the wrong document, even after attesting to this multiple times. Eventually, she finally checked her sent email and realized that she had sent the wrong document. I am okay with mistakes, I am not okay with being made to feel like an idiot because someone cannot check if she sent the wrong document. I am also not convinced that they exercise the dogs. After we picked up my dog, he ran toward grass like he hadn't seen it all week. Not sure that I will board my dog here again. Read Less

If you're looking for the newest facility in town with fresh coffee in the lobby and high prices to go with it, then keep looking. Though if you're looking for a wonderful team of trained Vets, Techs and Front Staff that treat your pets as if they were one of their own, then Forsyth Vet is the place to go. They have stayed open late to perform emergency surgery on my "Little Bit." Answered all of my questions, made me feel at ease and my dogs actually like going there. Are they a small practice? Yes they are, but that is what I like most about them. Small enough to care and know you and your pets by name. It takes only one trip to the office to learn this. They have several house cats that they've rescued and stay there. The little black cat always greets me in the lobby and is so sweet. And there is always a dog or two behind the front counter to say hello. Thank you for all you do. My babies say hello :) Read Less

Dr. Ruth Gillis and all the staff at this hospital are just the most compassionate and outstanding people to treat animals in this area. I give them credit for enabling my chow chow Booboo to live a healthy happy 17 years old. And she was not an easy dog at the vet! They are so patient and kind with all my dogs. I recommend these people highly. Read Less

In 2008, my children kind of railroaded me into rescuing an abused & neglected pitbull puppy from his environment. We took him home and decided he was definitely meant to be part of our family. However, shortly after we rescued him, he became deathly ill. I knew from previous experience, years prior, that he had parvo. I was a single mom of 3 kids and didn't have the hundreds of dollars up front that I'd need to have him treated. I went to several veterinarians only to be turned away because I couldn't pay up front. I worked on Stratford road but had never noticed Dr. Gillis' office before that day. We stopped, took Emo inside, basket and all. Initially, she seemed likely to give us the same response the others had given us. Until my I begged her to please not let him die. That I'd even surrender him to her if she'd fight for his life. She did help us and agreed to let me make payments (unheard of these days). She and her staff absolutely did save his life. Emo is now about 10 years old and is still a healthy and cherished member of our family. Regrettably, we no longer live in the area and have a new vet. But Forsyth Veterinary Hospital has set the bar high. There's no place better than here. And Dr. Gillis and staff are truly the best there is. We love them.Read Less

Dr. Gillis and her whole team are the absolute BEST there is! I can't begin to thank them for all of the love and support though our dogs needs and health issues! I would not go to any one else!!! Dr. Gillis has a love that you can't even describe that she has for her clients and there owners ;-) She has a true passion for all animals and you can see how at ease your animal/s are when they are with her. Thank you to each and every staff member and Dr. Gillis for everything you've done for our family! We love you and your entire team! Read Less

The staff here was everything I hoped for and more. From the receptionist to the Vet every single person was kind, attentive, caring and professional. I am new to the area and am so happy I found such wonderful care for my animals on the first try. Read Less

They are amazing! I took Pablo without a notice and they tended to his need. I could see how they were doing all they could to make Pablo feel better. Within days, Pablo was back to his energetic self. I highly recommend them to anyone with pets. Read Less

We and our two pups have used Forsyth Vet Hospital for almost 6 years now. We live 40 minutes away and continue to drive to this facility because of the wonderful care Novella and Sampson receive every single time we visit! We love Dr. Gillis and the amazing staff at Forsyth Veterinary Hospital! Read Less

I have used Forsyth Veterinarian Hospital for over 10 years. When my husband and I were first engaged, we adopted a dog from the shelter, and Forsyth Vet. was recommended. They have taken care of her over these last 10 years, as well as kittens we've found, other dogs we've adopted, and even our wild outside cat that is impossible to wrangle. From allowing our children to visit their sick pet after school, to calling to check on the health of our first, now, quite old dog...the people at Forsyth Veterinary Hospital feel like friends and family. Dr. Gillis has always been our dogs veterinarian, and we just absolutely think the world of her. She hires quality workers, and actually cares about the animals. Can not recommend them more! Read Less

Great staff, doctors are great. They do a fantastic job, my cats were very comfortable with the staff. However their costs are high, and over the 3 times I took my cats to them, I was charged a check-up cost every time. Even though one of the visit for just a vaccination. Every trip to them cost me around $80 per cat. Also they had long waiting periods - you'd have to book atleast a week in advance to get a slot. I moved to Central Spay Neuter and Wellness Clinic, Kernersville for neutering and other vaccines. Equally good services and at a much cheaper cost. Read Less

Forsyth Vet is the best! We love their knowledgeable and friendly staff and doctors. Our dog was involved in a car accident right down the road from the vet, and Dr. Ruth drove over to check him out at the scene, even though the vet was closed. She arrived before the EMT's even got there. They always go the extra mile to make sure your pet is safe and healthy!!! Read Less

I have been a long time client with Forsyth Veterinary and absolutely love and trust Dr. Gillis and her staff. They all have went above and beyond to assure me that they will do everything in their power to make sure my family of cats live a long and happy life. Thank you all for the love you put in to making a difference in our lives. My family is in great hands as long as I have you in our lives. Not everyone has a vet that doesn't mind calls on the weekend when something happens. Paleface and Batgirl especially love you. You literally saved their lives.Read Less

No place on page to leave commenys so saying it here. I hurry a little to get back in town to pick up my boarded cat get there at 5:50 to a closed sign. Hours are until 6pm i thought? So now wait til tomorrow to pick him up and will be out another days boarding fee. Thanks Read Less

We are regulars here but today our Golden, Emma, was seen for an ear infection (due to the dreaded swimming). We saw Dr Dawkins...what a gentle, kind man he is! This clinic is always caring and gets us in quickly! Read Less

My experience with them is limited, but was very pleased with my short interaction with them. My wife and I adopted a puppy from the Winston Salem animal shelter, which has a relationship with Forsyth Veterinary Hospital for the purposes of initial vaccinations and spaying or neutering. I picked our new pup up the day that she got her first shots, and received an appointment to have her spayed in a months time, given that she was too small to be spayed that day. During the intervening month, I lost the voucher paperwork and they were great about handling the pup's spaying regardless. Read Less

Recently adopted a dog from the shelter and had her fixed here. Even though we didn't pay a penny (adopting through the shelter is *the* way to go!), my dog received exceptional care here. Her surgery went well and had no post-surgical complications. I was very impressed with the service here :) Read Less

I have 4 dogs and 2 cats. Because I work so much We come all at once for our check ups and vaccinations. The staff is always kind and afficant when my pack arrives. My pets absultly love coming to see them. They get so excited when we pull in. They are the best vet I have ever been to and will never go anywhere else. We love you Read Less

Dr.Scott works with Dr G and the staff is so friendly. I found Dr. Scott at PetsMart 7 years ago then she left. Banfield wouldn't tell me where she went. I was so upset. Her bedside manner is wonderful and she cares do much for the patient and the owner. She has returned my call on Weekends and always makes sure we understand what is going on with our kids. My 3 dauchsunds are my children. I tracked this vet down because she is so good and luckily we found her and this awesome facility. Do yourself and your pet a favor and bring them here! We won't leave! Read Less

I was very disappointed with my visit to this vet. The Forsyth Animal Shelter provided me with this free visit as a part of my adoption. Really a wonderful service on their part. I'm giving them three stars simply because the surgery was performed and the staff was indeed friendly for the most part. When I went to pick her up, however, I was informed that they gave her a practically $30 booster and a $20 check up without my consent. So my "free" spay ended up costing me $50.00. Don't get me wrong - had I gotten a phone call to do these things I would have been more than happy to do whatever was needed to ensure the health of my cat or if when I picked her up they scheduled her another visit. I was upset that I wasn't informed because a.) it's my animal and b.) because what if I didn't have an extra $50 to spend that day? When I began to ask questions about the check up and the shot, the doctor herself came out and started talking to me. She was very nice, it just gave me the feeling like I was being treated like a hostile cat mom. Like they were "bringing out the manager" type of deal. When I wasn't doing that at all. I was simply asking about pain management and then about why my bill was so high for a free visit. I was getting the vibe that they wanted money out of me with or without my consent. I didn't understand why a check up (that should be done before performing surgery anyway) cost me $20 and why a full check up was necessary. Checking on the status of my kittens baby teeth before surgery? I can understand vitals - breathing, heart rate, etc. Those things sound like something that should be done before surgery nonetheless. Not an extra $20 to ensure that my cat is fit for it. This should be included. I was just very unhappy with the visit. I'm sure the vet is a great place. The staff was friendly. This could have been an isolated incident. Just watch out if you are there for your supposed "free" visit from the animal shelter. Read Less

Not impressed. Every single time I am here they have been bringing people who have come to pick up their animals the wrong pet. One woman came in to pick up her bulldog and they brought her out a cat. It's concerning to me that they have no organization in these matters. Makes me worried if my dog needed a surgery they could possibly do the wrong operation because they can't seem to keep track of their patients. Also, I gave them my dogs routine stool sample they said they would call me within 2 days with a result. A week later still no call. When I called to inquire they said they mixed up his sample with some other dogs and weren't sure of the results!! How do things like this happen when the name and account number is clearly labeled? God forbid my poor dog needed bloodwork done and they mix that up! They even had the nerve to try and still charge me for it on the next visit! The rooms are dirty, tons of other pets' hair in balls on the floor, seems like they don't clean and sanitize between patients. Just some observations that left me less than impressed, I will be taking my services elsewhere. Read Less

Everyone here is extremely friendly, especially Dr. Anderson, who examined our dog and cat, and couldn't have been friendlier or more knowledgable. Just moved to Winston-Salem, and our search for a vet is over. Very kind staff and clean facilities. Good people, the type you want caring for your pets. Read Less

This place has been a nightmare.. the staff is nice but so disorganized!!! I've spent so much money at this place trying to figure out what's wrong with my dog and I still haven't received any solid answers... the poor thing has been thru a bunch of tests and the last one he had, they were supposed to call us with the results and they never did... the weekend went by.. and I called on monday to ask for the results and they said Dr. Gillis would call back that monday and she never did.. this is the second time this has happened! what if it he needed to be seen right away?? he could've died. Sorry but we won't be going back ever. Read Less

A wonderful, compassionate, very competent veterinary practice.Having recently moved to the area, we did not have a regular local vet, so when our cat became ill we had to bring him to a vet we had never seen before. Dr. Anderson was absolutely wonderful with both my cat and me. She was gentle and patient with a cat who really does not like going to the vet (and who makes his opinions well known). Dr. Anderson helped us though a difficult cancer diagnosis, explaining, supporting, and understanding. Even though we had never met before, she gave me her cell phone number and encouraged me to call her any time (nights and weekends included) if I needed to talk or if I had any questions. She guided me through making treatment decisions for my cat, all the while being incredibly kind, understanding, and reassuring. All of the other staff that I have encountered have been pleasant, friendly, and competent. This is a terrific vet practice, and I would highly recommend Dr. Anderson. Read Less
