- [ ] Putting my Seleena that I had loved, cared for and protected for 15 + years in the hands of Dr. Beall of Southside Vet in Bixby for a much dreaded euthanasiia was one of the biggest mistakes of my life and will forever remain engrained in this brain I have that will play it over and over again in my head for the rest of my life and cause me great regret snd heartache every time it comes to mind. Right now there isn’t a moment I don’t think about the horror of her last 15 minutes of life and what it must have been like for her. From the moment Dr. Beall walked into the room he seemed to be removed from the fact that someone was loosing a loved one once he did what I was paying him to do, essentially kill my baby to save her from future suffering. This last weekend I watched my baby go down hill walking around aimlessly bumping into things, putting her head into corners, walking around and around in circles until I guess she tired herself out or just fell over from weakness. She would take in water still and acted a little interested in food but never was able to actually take the food in. So out of love for her and not wanting to watch her really go down hill more then I had already watched I decided it was time. Since I had put my sweet Misty down last year and the City Vet made it so peaceful I guess I thought Dr Beall with Southside Vet in Bixby would know enough to give my Seleena anesthetic or a muscle relaxer before injecting the euthanasia drug to stop the heart. I was so wrong. We waited in the room with her. The assistant was very nice. We had told her Seleena’s mannerisms in the last days and asked if it was time. She was very nice but she was not the vet so she said the vet would be in to look at her and talk to us. He came in. My mom and I told him what had been going on. But he never seemed very compassionate, just matter of fact. Not at all like he was connected at all to the fact that I was putting my beloved Seleena down or the more peaceful experience I had at City Vet a year prior with Misty. When I had to put her down at Southside Vet the assistant asked my mom and I if we wanted to stay in the room while he put her to sleep. Yes, of course. It is one of the hardest things to do to watch any life slip away, especially one loved so dearly, but I had never deserted her so I was going to be there for her in death as much as I could to help her move on from this life peacefully. The vet then shaved her leg. That is scary enough looking back on it now and how it went it seemed like an execution rather then peaceful, compassionate, humane euthanasia . At the City Vet he had given Misty a relaxing shot before the euthanasia shot. Waited about 5 minutes while I held her and loved on her. At Southside, Dr. Beall just stuck the shot in Seleena’s vein without any relaxant. Mind you Seleena was blind, had dementia and didn’t know what was going on anymore, plus likely dehydrated from not drinking as much and a small dog to boot with smaller veins. All of which Dr. Beall knew or should have known. Seleena jerked back and yelped out in pain. The vet assistant had to hold on to her and she was obviously in more pain and anxiety at that point. What do you do at that point I didn’t know if he had half done the deed or didn’t get anything into her I was simply horrified and felt like I was literally watching The Green Mile and an electrocution gone wrong. I had no instinct at that point because of the way it went. I mean you don’t want to be doing what you are doing in the first place. If I grabbed her up at that point and ran out with her, the fact was is that she was still going down hill and now she was bleeding profusely out of her leg as well. And it is happening in slow motion and fast all at the same time. He then stuck her again. And at that point I moved to the door and fell against it saying “Oh my God” I guess half out of my mind at the horror and half so he would notice my obvious horror and stop. I should have just snatched her up at that point and said what the hell are you doing? But it wasn’t like I was protective mommy and she was just getting her yearly shots. He finally said he was going to give her the anesthetic. The anesthetic I feel he should have given her in the first place like the vet at City Vet gave Misty. Although I don’t think hers was anesthetic just relaxant, but worked well nonetheless. And with anesthetic, since I’ve been under it, I know that it initially burns when shot into your veins and should graduate introduced so it doesn’t burn as it’s coursing through your veins. Dr Beall came back in the room and shot it into her fast when he should have done it slowly, but I think he wanted it to be over as he had messed it up so bad. Well I did too but not at the expense of scaring and hurting her more. He did hurt her more because she cried out again in pain and tried to lunge forward with the tech holding her. Then he said we would wait 5 minutes. OMG my mom and I were beside ourselves. My mom was holding her and I asked her if she was any better as far as settling down after what she’d been put through. Her heart had slowed my mom said from beating out of her chest from fright. Then the vet came back in, Seleena looked to be asleep at that point and the assistant tech laid her out. Her other leg was shaved. He went and got another shot I guess that was not blunt and was sharp so he could shoot it in her vein without her bleeding profusely and then she was gone. Bestill my heart. It is broken and I feel broken. My mom called him today because I’m so torn up and I know she is too partially because of Seleena and going through it all with me and because what it has done to me. She asked him why anesthetic wasn’t given before or a relaxant. He said because it is easier on them to just have the euthanasia shot in. Really, how can that be? That is what a relaxant would be for so she would be out of it. I might agree with the anesthetic if not given gradually and shot in as it was all at once but like I said a relaxant was given at City Vet to Misty and then the euthanasia drug and it was peaceful and over quickly. I don’t believe what he said and I will never take another dog of mine to that vet office again. Not even sure if I can ever trust myself to pick a vet that I can make sure will give my babies a peaceful death. Not even sure if I would trust City Vet at this point even though he did a good job with Misty. I feel betrayed by trusting a professional or what I thought was a professional and I feel I have betrayed Seleena. This and so much more and the fact I didn’t grab Seleena and run is part of what will haunt me and guilt me for the rest of my life. I just want to know from my baby if she knew I was trying to do the best for her and that she’s fine, happy, at peace and in heaven and doesn’t blame me and that I loved her so much.

This morning I dropped Sally off to get her teeth cleaned. After 30 mins of her being checked in, we got a call that our male dog has severe gum disease & his teeth were rotting. When we confirmed that Sally was a FEMALE & that the vet had the wrong dog, he corrected himself saying “oh I’m sorry, Sally the female has this gum disease. The blue heeler.” (Sally is a mix of Heeler). He told us that she might not have a quality of life & that she would have to prolly have all of ...her teeth removed. So we went ahead and said we wanted to have her taken care of & that we would work it out. For 2 hours Courtney and I struggled with the idea of having to possibly put her down. We cried and were confused to how this happened. Courtney called the vet around 10am to check on Sally & the lady said she was doing fine. Wanna know why? Cause the vet HAD THE WRONG DOG. He got our dog (a female Texas heeler) mixed up with a male Yorkie! So when a refund was demanded, the vet told Court that he “wasn’t discounting anything for our emotions.” When ultimately we could have decided a fate of another dog that wasn’t even ours & not known about it! If you care about your pet, don’t use this place. It’s obviously not concerned about the safety of animals it treats. Just that they make their money no matter what animal they are working on. Even if it’s not the correct one! #nevergoingback #thisplacedoesntcare See More

I use to be a customer until the day I had to consider putting down our family dog when she was perfectly healthy because of Dr. Beall’s mistake. I took our family dog Sally in for a routine cleaning of her teeth. I got a call about how horrible her teeth were and that most if not all were going to be pulled and that her quality of life would be detrimentally effected. During our conversation the Dr referred to our family dog as a “he” I stopped the doctor and said “wait, are you sure you have the right dog? Because Sally is a girl”. He said “oh yes I’m sorry! She.” He evened commented that the wrong breed was marked and it said blue heeler... I even confirmed she WAS a blue heeler. I spent my entire morning contemplating putting down our dog because she would have little to no quality of life. After I spoke with my partner and we had made the decision; if it were going to be that awful for her we would simply put her to sleep. I called the clinic over an hour and half later for the receptionist to tell me “Sally did great and didn’t have to have a single tooth pulled!!!” That of course was a relief however didn’t negate the fact that I spent a good chunk of my morning trying to decide what was best for Sally, my family and most importantly my two year old daughter who needs her terribly. When I spoke to the vet about adjusting my bill to compensate for his mistake he literally looked at me with no emotion and said “I’m not going to COMPENSATE YOU for emotional suffering”. That told me all I needed to know about this clinic. Our animals are exstentions of our families and if emotions have nothing to do with this practice I don’t want to have anything to do with this clinic.

This WAS the vet we took our 3 1/2 month old puppy to. When we needed to board him for three days we called and were told they also did boarding. We asked what that included. It was a kennel room, and for an extra charge they stated they would take him out several times per day. We thought because this was our vet it was the perfect solution. The day we dropped him off should have been the indicator this was not a good thing. No one could find our reservation. When we returned and brought him home the first thing he did was use the bathroom multiple times and whine when he peed. I called and was told they only took him out once per day. I immediately took him in and was informed that I would have to pay for the UTI test. They were not helpful and I was in the end made to feel it was my fault. I left with no help for my puppy. Instead I am going to a new vet tomorrow to resolve the painful issue for my dog. I would not take any animal to this location. They accept no responsibility for their lack of care for my puppy and when I referred to what we were told by their technician, I was given the "here is our contract which states once per day." Why did I pay an extra daily charge for more?????
Terrible vet and terrible service.

This clinic and a particular doctor were suggested to me by a trusted friend. So I was more than happy to drive 35 minutes away to this place that she swears by. I made an appointment for my cat to be spayed and front declawed and asked for the particular doctor by name. I was ensured by the receptionist that doctor would be there that day and would be the one to do the surgery.
When I got there, I was told the doctor I asked for was off that day and this other doctor was there. I didn't like that, but oh well, this doctor is surely good too. She looked young, like maybe 15. But that doesn't really mean anything, surely she'll do a good job. Well, I took my cat home and during her healing process, I could tell she was in a lot of pain. She would not walk at all. We had to carry her to eat, go to the bathroom, drink, get in bed, etc. I've taken many cats over my lifetime to get front declawed, and it always healed quickly, and the cat never showed signs of pain. This time was totally different. This pain went on for weeks. She would feel better and try to walk when she got one of her pain pills, but it wore off by the end of the day. I had to drive back out there to get more pain pills for her. I talked to the vet, and the vet said she doesn't even LIKE to do front declaw surgery because it's CRUEL. And told me it's eventually like cutting the tips of our fingers off. It was clear she was against even having the surgery done. I was livid, because she was the one who must have done the surgery wrong, but was calling me cruel for taking her in to have it done.
My cat did heal, but it took a much longer time than any cat I've ever had, (which is a number over 20 cats). It is not a coincidence. Needless to say, I will not be going back to that facility, which is a shame because the place is nice, the staff was super sweet, and the prices were acceptable.

Never do I ever write reviews or "talk down" on a place for their customer service.. however, I will this time because I am BEYOND pissed & upset... our sweet Axel has been very ill since Friday, not eating, drinking, playing,etc. Saturday Kieran and I took him to Southside Veterinarian Clinic in Bixby.. we called to make sure they could see him and they said as long as we showed up before 9AM.. we walk in at 8:45AM and they tell us to come back at 10:45AM because they were to busy.... Kieran raised hell so they finally seen him(although clearly we were an inconvenience to them) the vet wouldn't treat him for parvo because he was "to active" anyone who knows our Axel knows he goes crazy NON STOP, yesterday he was not... just barely getting around.. She racked us up a bill and sent us home... Sunday he was much much worse so we took him to the Woodland West Veterinarian Clinic and within 10 minutes of being there Axel tested positive for parvo and has been admitted into the hospital for 3-7 days... I am furious to the thought this could've easily of been taken care of yesterday, if we weren't such an inconvenience to someone else.... moral of the story, if you love your fur baby as much as we love our Axel avoid this place..

I normally don't write bad reviews but since I am speaking for animals without a voice, I feel I must tell others so they can make an informed decision before boarding their babies. First, I would like to say that the staff is extremely pleasant and I feel the veterinary services are adequate. One of my fur babies was treated for an ear infection while boarding and the veterinarian took care of it for a reasonable price. When I picked them up after being boarded, they were all 3 literally covered with urine and feces. It took the better part of the day to bathe and ultimately clip them because we could not get it all out from shampoo and water, we tried. Their bedding and all of their toys had to be thrown out. I washed everything with bleach then vinegar and finally pine sol but it all still wreaked of urine and feces. They also mixed up two of my dogs and used a very expensive tube of medicine on a dog that didn't need it while the one that needed it went without. They also charged extra for the administration of medication. I have boarded one of my dogs on numerous occasions with different facilities and never had any issues. The other two dogs were recent additions from shelters that I thought were poorly kept but they were still in better shape when I brought them home from the shelter than from boarding. Stick with the veterinary services not the boarding!

I really did not enjoy my visit to this place, I rescued a sweet lab almost a year ago and even though she had already had her vaccinations and such before adopting her, I still wanted to find a good vet and get her a check up appointment just to make sure she was perfectly healthy and nothing was wrong. First of all, the lady at the front desk thought I was there for her to get shots, when I clearly made the appointment for just a wellness check up, so when I kindly corrected her, she treated me like I was the biggest idiot she'd ever seen. That was one red flag. I'm sorry, but customers that are paying money for your services deserve respect no matter what. ( Note: I am an extremely nice person, always smiling and giving respect )
Secondly, the doctor was lazy, and not friendly in the slightest, I'm pretty sure he didn't smile once. And on top of that, he didn't even pet my dog, nor make sure she felt comfortable before grabbing her and putting her up on the table (she was extremely timid when we got her) she was terrified of him and he lazily checked her ears and temperature, and didn't weigh her or feel around her belly or ribs, nothing! On top of that, he didn't even talk to me or give me suggestions. So, I payed for a whole check up and all I got was her temperature out of it. I just didn't feel right about that at all, so a month later I took her to a different vet that one of my clients recommended and they treated us with respect and smiles, and did so much more for me and my dog, and my lab LOVED them and felt totally comfortable...let's just say we are definitely staying at the new vet we went to!

DON'T BRING YOUR ANIMALS HERE unless you don't care if they make it out alive. Besides the fact that Dr Beall is cold and has lousy bedside manner, On my first visit I brought 3 healthy kittens to be fixed and one died a week later from a "mysterious auto immune disease". My children were very upset, so we found 2 more kittens on craigslist, and raised them for 3 months. They were very healthy, happy and so cute. My girls and I just loved them. Then I made the mistake of bringing then to this place to be fixed. That afternoon I get a phone call telling me that one of the kittens didn't make it! Supposedly a reaction to the anesthesia. I don't buy it, sounds like malpractice to me. How does a perfectly healthy kitten die from a routine procedure like this unless somebody screwed up. Sorry, but there's something wrong here. My children are, once again, crying their eyes out. I'll never go back here ever again!

- [ ] Putting my Seleena that I had loved, cared for and protected for 15 + years in the hands of Dr. Beall of Southside Vet in Bixby for a much dreaded euthanasiia was one of the biggest mistakes of my life and will forever remain engrained in this brain I have that will play it over and over again in my head for the rest of my life and cause me great regret snd heartache every time it comes to mind. Right now there isn’t a moment I don’t think about the horror of her last 15 minutes of life and what it must have been like for her. From the moment Dr. Beall walked into the room he seemed to be removed from the fact that someone was loosing a loved one once he did what I was paying him to do, essentially kill my baby to save her from future suffering. This last weekend I watched my baby go down hill walking around aimlessly bumping into things, putting her head into corners, walking around and around in circles until I guess she tired herself out or just fell over from weakness. She would take in water still and acted a little interested in food but never was able to actually take the food in. So out of love for her and not wanting to watch her really go down hill more then I had already watched I decided it was time. Since I had put my sweet Misty down last year and the City Vet made it so peaceful I guess I thought Dr Beall with Southside Vet in Bixby would know enough to give my Seleena anesthetic or a muscle relaxer before injecting the euthanasia drug to stop the heart. I was so wrong. We waited in the room with her. The assistant was very nice. We had told her Seleena’s mannerisms in the last days and asked if it was time. She was very nice but she was not the vet so she said the vet would be in to look at her and talk to us. He came in. My mom and I told him what had been going on. But he never seemed very compassionate, just matter of fact. Not at all like he was connected at all to the fact that I was putting my beloved Seleena down or the more peaceful experience I had at City Vet a year prior with Misty. When I had to put her down at Southside Vet the assistant asked my mom and I if we wanted to stay in the room while he put her to sleep. Yes, of course. It is one of the hardest things to do to watch any life slip away, especially one loved so dearly, but I had never deserted her so I was going to be there for her in death as much as I could to help her move on from this life peacefully. The vet then shaved her leg. That is scary enough looking back on it now and how it went it seemed like an execution rather then peaceful, compassionate, humane euthanasia . At the City Vet he had given Misty a relaxing shot before the euthanasia shot. Waited about 5 minutes while I held her and loved on her. At Southside, Dr. Beall just stuck the shot in Seleena’s vein without any relaxant. Mind you Seleena was blind, had dementia and didn’t know what was going on anymore, plus likely dehydrated from not drinking as much and a small dog to boot with smaller veins. All of which Dr. Beall knew or should have known. Seleena jerked back and yelped out in pain. The vet assistant had to hold on to her and she was obviously in more pain and anxiety at that point. What do you do at that point I didn’t know if he had half done the deed or didn’t get anything into her I was simply horrified and felt like I was literally watching The Green Mile and an electrocution gone wrong. I had no instinct at that point because of the way it went. I mean you don’t want to be doing what you are doing in the first place. If I grabbed her up at that point and ran out with her, the fact was is that she was still going down hill and now she was bleeding profusely out of her leg as well. And it is happening in slow motion and fast all at the same time. He then stuck her again. And at that point I moved to the door and fell against it saying “Oh my God” I guess half out of my mind at the horror and half so he would notice my obvious horror and stop. I should have just snatched her up at that point and said what the hell are you doing? But it wasn’t like I was protective mommy and she was just getting her yearly shots. He finally said he was going to give her the anesthetic. The anesthetic I feel he should have given her in the first place like the vet at City Vet gave Misty. Although I don’t think hers was anesthetic just relaxant, but worked well nonetheless. And with anesthetic, since I’ve been under it, I know that it initially burns when shot into your veins and should graduate introduced so it doesn’t burn as it’s coursing through your veins. Dr Beall came back in the room and shot it into her fast when he should have done it slowly, but I think he wanted it to be over as he had messed it up so bad. Well I did too but not at the expense of scaring and hurting her more. He did hurt her more because she cried out again in pain and tried to lunge forward with the tech holding her. Then he said we would wait 5 minutes. OMG my mom and I were beside ourselves. My mom was holding her and I asked her if she was any better as far as settling down after what she’d been put through. Her heart had slowed my mom said from beating out of her chest from fright. Then the vet came back in, Seleena looked to be asleep at that point and the assistant tech laid her out. Her other leg was shaved. He went and got another shot I guess that was not blunt and was sharp so he could shoot it in her vein without her bleeding profusely and then she was gone. Bestill my heart. It is broken and I feel broken. My mom called him today because I’m so torn up and I know she is too partially because of Seleena and going through it all with me and because what it has done to me. She asked him why anesthetic wasn’t given before or a relaxant. He said because it is easier on them to just have the euthanasia shot in. Really, how can that be? That is what a relaxant would be for so she would be out of it. I might agree with the anesthetic if not given gradually and shot in as it was all at once but like I said a relaxant was given at City Vet to Misty and then the euthanasia drug and it was peaceful and over quickly. I don’t believe what he said and I will never take another dog of mine to that vet office again. Not even sure if I can ever trust myself to pick a vet that I can make sure will give my babies a peaceful death. Not even sure if I would trust City Vet at this point even though he did a good job with Misty. I feel betrayed by trusting a professional or what I thought was a professional and I feel I have betrayed Seleena. This and so much more and the fact I didn’t grab Seleena and run is part of what will haunt me and guilt me for the rest of my life. I just want to know from my baby if she knew I was trying to do the best for her and that she’s fine, happy, at peace and in heaven and doesn’t blame me and that I loved her so much.

This morning I dropped Sally off to get her teeth cleaned. After 30 mins of her being checked in, we got a call that our male dog has severe gum disease & his teeth were rotting. When we confirmed that Sally was a FEMALE & that the vet had the wrong dog, he corrected himself saying “oh I’m sorry, Sally the female has this gum disease. The blue heeler.” (Sally is a mix of Heeler). He told us that she might not have a quality of life & that she would have to prolly have all of ...her teeth removed. So we went ahead and said we wanted to have her taken care of & that we would work it out. For 2 hours Courtney and I struggled with the idea of having to possibly put her down. We cried and were confused to how this happened. Courtney called the vet around 10am to check on Sally & the lady said she was doing fine. Wanna know why? Cause the vet HAD THE WRONG DOG. He got our dog (a female Texas heeler) mixed up with a male Yorkie! So when a refund was demanded, the vet told Court that he “wasn’t discounting anything for our emotions.” When ultimately we could have decided a fate of another dog that wasn’t even ours & not known about it! If you care about your pet, don’t use this place. It’s obviously not concerned about the safety of animals it treats. Just that they make their money no matter what animal they are working on. Even if it’s not the correct one! #nevergoingback #thisplacedoesntcare See More

I use to be a customer until the day I had to consider putting down our family dog when she was perfectly healthy because of Dr. Beall’s mistake. I took our family dog Sally in for a routine cleaning of her teeth. I got a call about how horrible her teeth were and that most if not all were going to be pulled and that her quality of life would be detrimentally effected. During our conversation the Dr referred to our family dog as a “he” I stopped the doctor and said “wait, are you sure you have the right dog? Because Sally is a girl”. He said “oh yes I’m sorry! She.” He evened commented that the wrong breed was marked and it said blue heeler... I even confirmed she WAS a blue heeler. I spent my entire morning contemplating putting down our dog because she would have little to no quality of life. After I spoke with my partner and we had made the decision; if it were going to be that awful for her we would simply put her to sleep. I called the clinic over an hour and half later for the receptionist to tell me “Sally did great and didn’t have to have a single tooth pulled!!!” That of course was a relief however didn’t negate the fact that I spent a good chunk of my morning trying to decide what was best for Sally, my family and most importantly my two year old daughter who needs her terribly. When I spoke to the vet about adjusting my bill to compensate for his mistake he literally looked at me with no emotion and said “I’m not going to COMPENSATE YOU for emotional suffering”. That told me all I needed to know about this clinic. Our animals are exstentions of our families and if emotions have nothing to do with this practice I don’t want to have anything to do with this clinic.

I loved the extra care I got here. They explained everything very well and used a very mild sedative for my small elderly pups teeth cleaning. They have very conservative pricing better than anyone else I called. I felt very at home. The staff updated me about me and made sure I left with very thorough after care instructions.
I am so glad I found such a fantastic vet that I feel so comfortable with. I'm recommending all of my friends here!

This WAS the vet we took our 3 1/2 month old puppy to. When we needed to board him for three days we called and were told they also did boarding. We asked what that included. It was a kennel room, and for an extra charge they stated they would take him out several times per day. We thought because this was our vet it was the perfect solution. The day we dropped him off should have been the indicator this was not a good thing. No one could find our reservation. When we returned and brought him home the first thing he did was use the bathroom multiple times and whine when he peed. I called and was told they only took him out once per day. I immediately took him in and was informed that I would have to pay for the UTI test. They were not helpful and I was in the end made to feel it was my fault. I left with no help for my puppy. Instead I am going to a new vet tomorrow to resolve the painful issue for my dog. I would not take any animal to this location. They accept no responsibility for their lack of care for my puppy and when I referred to what we were told by their technician, I was given the "here is our contract which states once per day." Why did I pay an extra daily charge for more?????
Terrible vet and terrible service.

This clinic and a particular doctor were suggested to me by a trusted friend. So I was more than happy to drive 35 minutes away to this place that she swears by. I made an appointment for my cat to be spayed and front declawed and asked for the particular doctor by name. I was ensured by the receptionist that doctor would be there that day and would be the one to do the surgery.
When I got there, I was told the doctor I asked for was off that day and this other doctor was there. I didn't like that, but oh well, this doctor is surely good too. She looked young, like maybe 15. But that doesn't really mean anything, surely she'll do a good job. Well, I took my cat home and during her healing process, I could tell she was in a lot of pain. She would not walk at all. We had to carry her to eat, go to the bathroom, drink, get in bed, etc. I've taken many cats over my lifetime to get front declawed, and it always healed quickly, and the cat never showed signs of pain. This time was totally different. This pain went on for weeks. She would feel better and try to walk when she got one of her pain pills, but it wore off by the end of the day. I had to drive back out there to get more pain pills for her. I talked to the vet, and the vet said she doesn't even LIKE to do front declaw surgery because it's CRUEL. And told me it's eventually like cutting the tips of our fingers off. It was clear she was against even having the surgery done. I was livid, because she was the one who must have done the surgery wrong, but was calling me cruel for taking her in to have it done.
My cat did heal, but it took a much longer time than any cat I've ever had, (which is a number over 20 cats). It is not a coincidence. Needless to say, I will not be going back to that facility, which is a shame because the place is nice, the staff was super sweet, and the prices were acceptable.

Never do I ever write reviews or "talk down" on a place for their customer service.. however, I will this time because I am BEYOND pissed & upset... our sweet Axel has been very ill since Friday, not eating, drinking, playing,etc. Saturday Kieran and I took him to Southside Veterinarian Clinic in Bixby.. we called to make sure they could see him and they said as long as we showed up before 9AM.. we walk in at 8:45AM and they tell us to come back at 10:45AM because they were to busy.... Kieran raised hell so they finally seen him(although clearly we were an inconvenience to them) the vet wouldn't treat him for parvo because he was "to active" anyone who knows our Axel knows he goes crazy NON STOP, yesterday he was not... just barely getting around.. She racked us up a bill and sent us home... Sunday he was much much worse so we took him to the Woodland West Veterinarian Clinic and within 10 minutes of being there Axel tested positive for parvo and has been admitted into the hospital for 3-7 days... I am furious to the thought this could've easily of been taken care of yesterday, if we weren't such an inconvenience to someone else.... moral of the story, if you love your fur baby as much as we love our Axel avoid this place..

We are so pleased to have a vet close to us & with such impeccable service too. Thank you so much for having our small town vet be everything I LOVE about a small town (including the prices). Thanks again for fixing up our baby.

I normally don't write bad reviews but since I am speaking for animals without a voice, I feel I must tell others so they can make an informed decision before boarding their babies. First, I would like to say that the staff is extremely pleasant and I feel the veterinary services are adequate. One of my fur babies was treated for an ear infection while boarding and the veterinarian took care of it for a reasonable price. When I picked them up after being boarded, they were all 3 literally covered with urine and feces. It took the better part of the day to bathe and ultimately clip them because we could not get it all out from shampoo and water, we tried. Their bedding and all of their toys had to be thrown out. I washed everything with bleach then vinegar and finally pine sol but it all still wreaked of urine and feces. They also mixed up two of my dogs and used a very expensive tube of medicine on a dog that didn't need it while the one that needed it went without. They also charged extra for the administration of medication. I have boarded one of my dogs on numerous occasions with different facilities and never had any issues. The other two dogs were recent additions from shelters that I thought were poorly kept but they were still in better shape when I brought them home from the shelter than from boarding. Stick with the veterinary services not the boarding!

I really did not enjoy my visit to this place, I rescued a sweet lab almost a year ago and even though she had already had her vaccinations and such before adopting her, I still wanted to find a good vet and get her a check up appointment just to make sure she was perfectly healthy and nothing was wrong. First of all, the lady at the front desk thought I was there for her to get shots, when I clearly made the appointment for just a wellness check up, so when I kindly corrected her, she treated me like I was the biggest idiot she'd ever seen. That was one red flag. I'm sorry, but customers that are paying money for your services deserve respect no matter what. ( Note: I am an extremely nice person, always smiling and giving respect )
Secondly, the doctor was lazy, and not friendly in the slightest, I'm pretty sure he didn't smile once. And on top of that, he didn't even pet my dog, nor make sure she felt comfortable before grabbing her and putting her up on the table (she was extremely timid when we got her) she was terrified of him and he lazily checked her ears and temperature, and didn't weigh her or feel around her belly or ribs, nothing! On top of that, he didn't even talk to me or give me suggestions. So, I payed for a whole check up and all I got was her temperature out of it. I just didn't feel right about that at all, so a month later I took her to a different vet that one of my clients recommended and they treated us with respect and smiles, and did so much more for me and my dog, and my lab LOVED them and felt totally comfortable...let's just say we are definitely staying at the new vet we went to!

I have taken my dogs to see Dr. Beall for many years. He is an experienced vet and a kind person. I've only seen Dr. Wadsworth a couple of times, but every visit with her has been pleasant. All of the staff that work there are very kind. Also one of the other reasons I use them is because they are affordable. Probably the least expensive place in town.

All our pets love Dr. Beall. One experience is my 16 y/o cat had a very bad kidney infection. We thought he was going to pass. He wouldn't eat couldn't walk and was miserable. We took Pepper in and he immediately started purring when Dr. Beall held him. Dr. Beall diagnosed him right away and gave us some medication and within a couple of weeks Pepper was going strong again. He has cared for all of our animals for almost 15 years.

DON'T BRING YOUR ANIMALS HERE unless you don't care if they make it out alive. Besides the fact that Dr Beall is cold and has lousy bedside manner, On my first visit I brought 3 healthy kittens to be fixed and one died a week later from a "mysterious auto immune disease". My children were very upset, so we found 2 more kittens on craigslist, and raised them for 3 months. They were very healthy, happy and so cute. My girls and I just loved them. Then I made the mistake of bringing then to this place to be fixed. That afternoon I get a phone call telling me that one of the kittens didn't make it! Supposedly a reaction to the anesthesia. I don't buy it, sounds like malpractice to me. How does a perfectly healthy kitten die from a routine procedure like this unless somebody screwed up. Sorry, but there's something wrong here. My children are, once again, crying their eyes out. I'll never go back here ever again!
