I want to clarify that I've never been to Greenfield, nor can comment on their standard of care. This review is about the public conduct of Dr. Alison Berkibile (Alison Mary on Facebook) a DVM at Greenfield. A mutual friend of Dr. Berkebile and I's was having a social media discussion about the cost of veterninary medicine. I had a different opinion than Dr. Berkebile. For that, she verbally attacked my race, gender, and incorrectly attacked my employment status, along with other harassing and slanderous comments. I have attached images of Dr. Berkebile's comments. While I cannot comment on Dr. Berkebile's medical abilities, if this display is indicative of her bedside manner, it's troubling. Read Less

I decided to take my pup here for her vaccinations this year after hearing great things about Greenfield Veterinary Hospital from a friend. I have to say that I certainly was not disappointed. The staff was excellent with my very nervous German Shepherd, and despite being very busy, they were sure to take the time to address all of my concerns, as well as educate me in regards to any misconceptions I had previously. I cannot speak highly enough of my experience! Read Less

I was very very dissappointed  yes I am extremely  OCD with my pupils have a baby bichon just turned 3. Be has. Een on grooming  products that just  got rated number 1 in Europe.  Hes been on these products since 10 months when his coat started dull, a d hot spots. We started on the therapy line turning his coat into flawless then moved him to mineral red. These products  are superior  cosmetic  product. My pups only had 1 1/2 vaccine as a  baby , no antibiotics,  heartworm ect. We brought him to dr Winnie he supposedly was highly recommended bear started getting  tear staining in October I tried every thing from the company which I now sell. So I decided  to get allergy testing Hope's it would help stains. Bear was 1 2 overweight  I knew that. He storms in room doesn't even look at the dog or acknowledge  him. Then he says we just dont give shots I. Said I'm here for test. Then he hands me a piece of paper. Are said has your dog had any of these one was dermatitis I said yes but I had the body under control. I told him how they on goats milk raw food, no vaccines ect. Then he says your dog is very unhealthy  I said excuse me he ne er even touch him oh hes obese yes he has to loose but hes adorable. Then he started exam a d said we rate on 1-9 scale a d said  gums look great usually shichons have issues with gums. Then he was such a. Aragent person said hes 81/2 since he wanted him to loose. Then told me I would be wasting allergy blood work it was excessive tearing now that hes mature. So we just got routine yearly which came perfect. So i like personal  vet then hes telling .e i might not. Be a mach i said as long as you respect  I was trained by dr Marty Goldstein  world renowned  holistic  vet so I only come for diagnose Read Less

I've never had an issue here. I used to bring my grandmother's dog here years ago, and have also brought my own dogs here as well. Though my dogs are total spazzes the vet is great with them. Theyve both had surgeries done here without complications.I took 2 stars away because everytime I am there there's a sign that says, "for your safety, please let the professionals handle the pets" (not in those exact words). However, everytime I am there the vet techs are unable to handle my little ankle biters without getting hurt so I always have to hold them. 2 stars, one for each of my dogs I have to restrain.

My husband and I have brought our dog to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital since we adopted him 6 years ago, and we have always had excellent experiences with both the vet as well as the staff. They do a great job with both checkups and vaccines (for our extremely crazy dog). Every time that we have needed to bring him in for any reason, we have been able to get an appointment within a couple of days, and the couple of times that we have had emergencies they were very calm and assisted us in getting the information that we needed at the moment. Aside from the timeliness of appointments, the staff and Dr. Hanke are always extremely friendly, helpful, and seem to care about, like, and remember our dog each time that we bring him for an appointment. Most importantly, they have always provided excellent care to our dog. Unfortunately, we are moving out of the area so will need to find a new vet, but if we were staying in Pittsburgh we would continue to bring our dog to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital for many years to come.

I had an incident with my dog where he needed emergency treatment. I was unaware that they were closing but the veterinarian told me to bring my dog in. As soon as I got there, the veterinarian immediately assessed my dog. I was told he needed a couple of stitches and I gave consent. The team took such good care of my dog. They took there time and wanted to make sure my dog was ok. None of the team rushed and they concentrated on my dog. I kept them almost 2 hours after closing but none of them cared. Needless to say i take my dog there on a regular basis. Dr. Winnie is fantastic with animals and is very knowledgeable. The staff is wonderful and will assist you in any way. If you want your pet to have the best care, Greenfield Veterinary Hospital is highly recommended. Read Less

I brought my dog here about 6 months ago when we relocated and I really like both vets. However, my dog is a senior dog with medical issues and it's next to impossible to get an appointment. I keep getting told to go to the ER which is highly stressful to my dog and the ER has zero knowledge of my dog or his special needs. Super disappointed and now will have to drive my dog to his old vet 6 hours away because they care and know him. Great vets here if you can actually get a timely appointment! Not so great if your pet is not in perfect health and you need a vet that can fit him into the schedule. Read Less

UPDATE: Unfortunately I had to put one of my cat babies down (18 years old) . He had lost a lot of weight. Dr. Winnie knew something was wrong, even after x-rays and blood tests came back fine. He promised that after exploratory surgery, we would have a definitive answer. It was pancreatic cancer. Past the point of treatment. They kept my baby alive until we could get there, within an hour. I opted not to wake him up but wanted to be there. The vet techs cried with us!! One of them, between tears, said to my boyfriend: We do this job because we love animals. They were so nice to us, offered to send us a bill since we were so upset, then we received a card a few days later signed by everyone who had tried to help him. It was really really touching. Love these wonderful and caring people. Thanks Dr. Winnie and all of your staff. Took me awhile to write this but you all have a place in my heart. I've been taking my cats, my dog, and even past boyfriends' dogs here for years! Dr. Winnie is excellent! I've seen a couple reviews on here commenting on the Doc's personality, and I'll admit it, he isn't very personable. He is nice, don't get me wrong, he's just not into chit chat. But he is GREAT with pets! My favorite experience with the doc was when I brought in my cat who just had surgery for a blocked urinary tract (I would've brought him to Greenfield Vet for the surgery if it hadn't been 10pm!). My cat was still having some urinary issues, so of course I asked Dr. Winnie how long it would take for him to get better. Instead of just giving me an estimate, he pulled out a book and opened the page to the pic that showed the insides of a cat. He explained exactly what my cat was going through, where in his body it was happening, and gave me a realistic timeframe for when he would be back to normal. My questions were all answered in such a way that I did not feel rushed. He gave me straight answers, even giving me the bad (that my cat's kidneys had been damaged due to the blockage) and really took the time to sit down with me. I was so distraught when I got there (the surgery had been hard on me and my baby Kitten) but I left feeling that the worst was over and it was only uphill from there. I felt armed with knowledge and optomistic for the future. The staff are all very friendly. They make me feel welcome and important. I actually enjoy the simpleness of the decor. There is even wood panelling! Most vet offices feel like hospitals to me, which I really don't like! I know this is getting long but I have one more thing to add. Greenfield Vet really does NOT try to rope you into unnecessary charges. I've NEVER in my LIFE been able to get out of the vet office for under $100! NEVER! But it has happened to me at this vet. I'll never go anywhere else! Also, they have great hours! And even a walk-in evening! Love it! Read Less

If you consider your pets your family, GF Vet is the place to go! And they are very reasonably priced as well as accommodating. I moved here to PA a year ago and was recommended to Greenfield Vet. I am very protective of my pets and only want THE BEST... and that is exactly what they are, from the front office to the Doctor's. My one dog (Joey) is a rescued cattle dog. Not only is he a one person dog but he had been attacked at least one time that I know of (with previous owner) by pit bulls. He suffered from a punctured salivary gland and had evidence of major scar tissue around his throat. Dr. Winnie explained everything in detail and performed the intricate surgery and Jo has had no issues, at all, since. The staffs' patience, understanding of all our questions and genuine care for ALL or pets is very much appreciated!Because Joey has the disposition he has, they accommodate us by bringing him in the back or even coming out back for him. The vet technician, Samantha, goes above and beyond and treats my pets as if they are her own. I've had them seem by Dr. Handke as well, and was pleased. If I could give The Greenfield Veterinary Hospital 6 STARS  I would. Thank you to all Staff @ GF Veterinary Hospital Read Less

We had a different vet we had been using previously. After a not-so-nice ordeal with them, we decided to switch to GVH. For one, it's much closer. Two, much more affordable (even though the other place called itself a "clinic"). And three, they offer the Lifetime Vaccine Program. I highly recommend anyone with pets, especially multiples (I have 4 cats) to check them and their program out. They also gave me a discount for bringing in 2 cats at a time. They were super sweet, even with my big baby Bob who whips around when held so he can "cling" to you (:  We've also gotten my mother in law to switch her German Shepherd and two cats over to GVH also. We're pretty happy with our change of vets! Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and cats to Greenfield vet for several years, and recently brought my high anxiety dog in for an emergency visit when he had developed a mass. Because he required sedation for anyone there to even look at the mass, once Dr. Handke examined the mass, he was able to take my dog right then (after checking with me) to remove it and send it in for analysis rather than wait and schedule a second high stress appointment for my dog. We got the all clear results back in just a couple days, which was wonderful. I was surprised by some of the other reviews where human clients and animal patients dealing with similar situations didn't receive the same amazing care, consideration, and professionalism that I have received every time I've been there.

We've been using Greenfield clinic for many years as it is conveniently located and we were getting adequate care. Over the past four years I noticed a mass growing on my dog's thigh. At every visit (at least twice a year) I kept asking Dr. Winnie and Dr. Handke what it is, and both were reassuring me that it was just lipoma. Finally, my dog became lethargic, refused food, and was screaming with pain when touched. Dr. Handke looked at him, pulled his leg, and announced that it was arthritis. He prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. Again, I asked about the mass and he again said it was a lipoma. Next day after we started medication, all symptoms disappeared including lethargy and lack of appetite. I called the clinic and asked if I could talk to the vet as it was surprising for me how the anti-inflammatory drug would so quickly improve appetite and wasn't there any underlying cause. The receptionist refused to let me talk to the vet and rather angrily stated that it was just arthritis. Finally, 3 weeks later, the 'lipoma' got very hard, hot, and red. We took the dog to a different vet who had performed an emergency surgery and excised a huge mast cell tumor that already progressed to grade 2. I can't express how disappointed and angry I am with Greenfield vets. Not only they did not do a simple fine needle biopsy to at least confirm that it was lipoma (the first step recommended by several Google sites as I found out later), but even later when there were obvious symptoms, Dr. Handke could not put one and one together. HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL! I don't have time or desire to sue the clinic, and no money will bring my dog's health back, but these people should not be allowed to practice. Read Less

I had to bring my cat in for a routine exam. He's a little overweight, so I wanted to know what to do to get his weight down. I'd seen Dr. Handke and he sort of joked that one of his cats is a little overweight as well, which was nice since I was expecting to be chewed out!, but I didn't really get a plan on what to do to help out my cat. Obviously I should play with him more, but what about feeding him? Prices seem to be okay compared to others, though it stinks to be paying almost $50 to walk in the door and feel like you're a bit rushed through the appointment. They do push the prescription diets a bit more than I was comfortable with. I've heard stories about how Science Diet prescription dry foods are filled with fillers and things that cats don't need to eat. I'd enjoy seeing some grain-free/byproduct free options as well. There were a few cases of natural cat foods on a bottom rack in the waiting room, where they have a lot of their cat (and dog) foods. When I inquired, I was told the foods on the bottom rack were for the office manager. Maybe try selling some natural cat foods alongside the prescription ones. All in all, I've been going here for a long time, when Dr. Babick was the owner. The décor hasn't changed at all, save for the front reception desk. It's nice, to me, because I like the old-time feel. I'm a sucker for nostalgia! However, they don't have all of the top notch equipment and you might be referred elsewhere for more high-end tests and /or treatments. My biggest gripe is that they will push AVETS and PVSEC as THE number one ER vets to go to. However, PLEASE shop around! I found that there were a high number of complaints and gripes with those two; mainly unnecessary treatments, extremely high bills that surpassed estimates, and lack of sympathy if a pet were to die from treatments/whatever the emergency was. I went to the VCA Northview ER on Siebert road in Ross township when I had a cat emergency. It's right off of McKnight road where Ross Park Mall is at, but before it if you're coming from downtown. It's a really great ER vet service with friendly staff and the lowest ER walk-in fee in Pittsburgh. I very highly recommend them! But DO look at their location on Google maps before going. It can be a little awkward to find them in the dark, especially if you're already distraught over your pet. Give this place a go if you're in Greenfield/Squirrel Hill. The staff is super friendly, and that includes the vets. However keep a few things in mind: -Not to sound rude, but know the hours and don't think that they'll keep the door open for you. I saw a review about a couple that drove an hour to visit and Greenfield vet was closed. Sorry, but if you're driving from an hour away, maybe try a vet closer to you. -It's a small, outdated (to most people) in their décor clinic. -You might get there on time, but you might wait a while in the reception area, and then you might wait a while in the exam room after you get in there. You might be seen by a vet tech right away, but you might wait a while after the vet tech leaves and says "Dr. will be right in." Trust me, that vet will more than likely NOT be right in! I've waited as long as nearly a half an hour before being seen. Being that I've experienced that with my own doctor, I wasn't too mad, but I was getting a bit ticked. -They don't do time payments. It'd be nice, but I've never found a vet who does that. -You can say no to vaccines. I did this for one of my pets who I knew was under the weather. The vet didn't have a problem with that. -Don't let them get pushy. They may try to push a flea spray or collar your way if you say you have a flea problem. Don't be afraid to say no thanks. They won't bite your head off! I've been going there for a while and I haven't had any huge problems, thank God and knock on wood. If I ever did, I'd try the VCA Northview, which is a normal vet in addition to being an ER vet. There's also a cat's only vet in Shadyside, though the parking situation looks a bit iffy. Hope this helps! Read Less

Dr. Handke is an absolute unprofessional and unknowledgeable veterinarian. Stumbles on his words, talks incredibly too fast, always seems extremely nervous. Made us bring my dog in just to tell us he had no idea what else to do after his initial treatment didn't work. Said all we could was take him to a specialist because it was out of his practice and knowledge. Why make us make the trip to the hospital and waste our time and money when you could have just told us over the phone that we should go see a specialist. Should have told us to see a specialist to begin with on the very first visit if it was out of your practice and knowledge. Never ever taking a pet to this vet again and definitely would not recommend this vet. The only upside is the rest of the staff (vet techs, receptionists) are extremely nice. A shame they work with incompetent veterinarians.Read Less

I brought my two cats in for their yearly checkups and shots today, Dec 8, 2015. The 20 minute wait while the front desk person talked on the phone was annoying  but not the reason I ended up walking out of the office without either of my cats being seen.First off, my younger cat, Frances, a rescue cat had been to their office twice before in this past year,  and I was told they would get her spay records and first year shot records from the Animal Rescue League. I called Greenfield Vet 2 months before  she was due and again a week before I brought her in today to make sure they secured those records. I told the nurse the situation when we went into the exam room and she seemed thoroughly confused. She left the room and said she was going to call the Animal Rescue League and have Frances' shot records faxed right over. About two minutes after she left the exam room, Dr. Winnie came in and right away he was obnoxious and condescending. I asked him what was wrong since he seemed agitated and short-tempered and he rolled his eyes and shook his head as if to dismiss me. After a few curt words, he asked me what shots Frances needed. I told him I was hoping he would know. He left the room in a huff, and at that point, I knew my cats wouldn't be in loving hands, so I picked up both their carriers and walked out of the exam room. Dr. Winnie was was talking to the nurse and I told them I'll just take my cats elsewhere and he yelled out, "If you figure out what shots she needs...." and the door closed behind me.Just a week prior, Frances had gone into have blood drawn and the female doctor stuck the needle right through her vein and out the other end. NEVER again will I take any animal to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital. Read Less

I was looking for a new vet a little closer to me than my previous one.  I took my cat to them on 8/25/15 and they were fantastic.  A few weeks later, I ended up w/ a 2nd cat I hadn't planned on from a co-worker (who had to get rid of 4/5 of her cats).  He's 5 years old and had never been to a vet.  Again they were just wonderful.  My appt was at 7:20pm and it was running long.  I had thought I would have to bring him back again to get neutered, but Dr. Winnie said he could fit it in right after the vaccinations, even though it was already a few mins after their posted office hours.  He's a wonderful vet, very pleasant, explains everything, and takes the time to answer any questions you may have.  A member of the staff sat down with me afterwards and took her time to explain what to watch out for, how to give the pain medication, etc. (despite looking very exhausted from what must've been a very long day at work).A few days later, I noticed he was being lethargic and not eating much, which was the complete opposite of the energetic and big eating cat I knew him to be.  I called them and they said he should've been back to normal behavior in about 24 hrs (except the pain), so I should bring him back in.  They observed him for most of the day and called me back to come in.  Turned out everything was fine.  The real kicker was they didn't even bother charging me for the 8-9 hrs he was at their hospital.  They just said it was no trouble and they were happy to give me peace of mind.I would highly recommend to anyone who has pets to go to them.

This is the absolute worst vet I have ever been to - I will never again bring my cat here. After reading many positive reviews, I was hopeful that this experience would help me find a new long-term vet. I came this past Monday to the walk-in clinic, and the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful - it seemed like a good start. I arrived right at 2pm, and only had a short wait (maybe 5 minutes) to be seen back into an exam room (although the wait was much longer when I left around 3:30pm- about an hour). After a positive beginning to this experience, it all went steeply downhill as soon as Dr. Winnie came in for a consultation. I brought my cat in for her annual exam, and because I treated her for fleas the week prior and I wanted him to check on her condition.  The doctor was very pushy and condescending from the start; His tone was insincere and rude, and he was very obvious about being in a rush (probably due to it being the walk-in clinic hours, but still...). My cat's records were being faxed over from previous vets, and I was waiting to hear if she needed any vaccination; As we were talking, Dr. Winnie injected my cat without confirming - or at least verbalizing - that she needed vaccinations. Then, he attempted to quickly leave the room without even talking about her state of health (the annual exam I came in for). When I asked how she looked, he simply said she was overweight and didn't offer any advice  or further information without being asked. It seemed like from the start the doctor and the nurses were just trying to push products - whether it be vaccinations, flea medication, new brands of food, or flea home treatment - rather than listening to my concerns and actually checking out my cat. He seemed offended when I declined his suggestion to purchase two more flea medications to use simultaneously as well as a third flea product to treat my cat's reaction to the fleas - even though her fleas were successfully treated only a few days prior. Due to his insincerity, poor communication, and the fact that he rushed through my cat's exam, I will not be coming back. Read Less

I brought my cat to see Dr. Winnie today during the walk-in clinic, and I was very impressed by the knowledge, empathy and time he spent looking over my cat's health - this was a wellness visit with some changes in behavior that had been concerning me. He did a great job considering everything I was telling him and I could tell he genuinely cared about what was wrong with my cat whom he was meeting for the first time. I've been to other vet practices where I felt rushed out the door after a few needles and expensive tests that were read over a voice mail - but this was nothing like that. It was obviously a very busy night at the practice, as well - and I like that they offer a walk-in option (on Monday afternoons/evenings) that let me as a new client come right in.  Cost was a concern for me and Dr. Winnie was very direct and upfront with pricing as the appointment went along with different treatments and tests that would be helpful, and I feel that these options offered were realistic and relevant for the situation. At other practices the doctors haven't been able to offer prices, so you're left with a shock by the time you check out at the end of the visit when everything is tallied. The prices were also very fair/reasonable, especially when compared to other practices (a $47 exam fee vs. $60-80 other places). I will definitely be bringing my cat back for her next visits and feel confident that her health is in good hands. The techs that worked with my cat were also great with her - in each interaction I had with the staff at Greenfield Veterinary Hospital it was evident that every person genuinely enjoyed what they were doing and cared for my cat's wellness.

How lucky were we!!We got to the appointment and didn't wait long at all. Dr. Winnie did a thorough check on my pup and also did some lab tests. Everything came back fine regarding her organs because of the mushroom, but there was another issue (nothing serious) We ended up leaving with 3 medications and a medicated shampoo. The doctor said to stop feeding my dog beef-rice mixture before she starts enjoying it too much and eventually she will eat. He was so reassuring and helped out a lot. He fully explained everything as well as all of the medications. He wants to see my dog in a month to check the progress.I think my new dog and I have found our official vet. Read Less

I've been taking my cats, my dog, and even past boyfriends' dogs here for years! Dr. Winnie is excellent! I've seen a couple reviews on here commenting on the Doc's personality, and I'll admit it, he isn't very personable. He is nice, don't get me wrong, he's just not into chit chat. But he is GREAT with pets!My favorite experience with the doc was when I brought in my cat who just had surgery for a blocked urinary tract (I would've brought him to Greenfield Vet for the surgery if it hadn't been 10pm!). My cat was still having some urinary issues, so of course I asked Dr. Winnie how long it would take for him to get better. Instead of just giving me an estimate, he pulled out a book and opened the page to the pic that showed the insides of a cat. He explained exactly what my cat was going through, where in his body it was happening, and gave me a realistic timeframe for when he would be back to normal. My questions were all answered in such a way that I did not feel rushed. He gave me straight answers, even giving me the bad (that my cat's kidneys had been damaged due to the blockage) and really took the time to sit down with me. I was so distraught when I got there (the surgery had been hard on me and my Kitten, yes that's his name) but I left feeling that the worst was over and it was only uphill from there. I felt armed with knowledge and optimistic for the future. The staff are all very friendly. They make me feel welcome and important. I actually enjoy the simpleness of the decor. There is even wood panelling! Most vet offices feel like hospitals to me, which I really don't like! I know this is getting long but I have one more thing to add. Greenfield Vet really does NOT try to rope you into unnecessary charges. I've NEVER in my LIFE been able to get out of the vet office for under $100! NEVER! But it has happened to me at this vet. I'll never go anywhere else! Also, they have great hours! And even a walk-in evening! Love it! I live in Lawrenceville but I'll still make the trek! Read Less

I've been taking my cats here for about 5 years.  We've seen both Dr. Winnie and more recently, Dr. Henke. I've had everything done from physical exams to complicated surgery at Greenfield Vet, and for the most part, I've been very happy with the care my cats have gotten. I have to say, Dr. Henke seems to have a better bedside manner than Dr. Winnie, but both of them do a good job of examining the cats and performing procedures. Also, when my cats have had serious medical issues, the follow up care has been good, and I've been happy with the level of communication (they will always call back promptly if I have questions or concerns). They keep good medical records, which is helpful. And while there has been some staff turnover, across the years, I really like the vet tech that's there now (Michelle).  In short, Drs. Winnie and Henke are competent, thorough vets, and I am pleased with the care my cats get. Read Less

I have had dogs and cats for 40 years, and have used vets in multiple states.  Dr. Winnie is by far the finest vet I have found.  I have been using him for the last 10 or so years, and he has treated several dogs and cats for me.  He is a great diagnostician, and always takes time to thoroughly explain what he is doing and the results of any test.  He demonstrates concern for animals well being while at the same time not applying pressure to use extraordinary measures in complex cases (though he always offers the option).An anecdote of his diagnostic acumen: I recently brought my mothers dog to live with me after she moved.  This dog had recently been to her old vet (one considered a fine vet in that area).  I took her to see Dr. Winnie just for a check up and he found one issue overlooked by the other vet, and recommended a different course of action for two relatively minor existing issues.  While I'm not a vet, I found his explanations for his suggested treatments compelling.To summarize, I've always been very satisfied with the treatment he provides and have always found visits enjoyable.

I've never had an issue here. I used to bring my grandmother's dog here years ago, and have also brought my own dogs here as well. Though my dogs are total spazzes the vet is great with them. Theyve both had surgeries done here without complications.I took 2 stars away because everytime I am there there's a sign that says, "for your safety, please let the professionals handle the pets" (not in those exact words). However, everytime I am there the vet techs are unable to handle my little ankle biters without getting hurt so I always have to hold them. 2 stars, one for each of my dogs I have to restrain.

My husband and I have brought our dog to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital since we adopted him 6 years ago, and we have always had excellent experiences with both the vet as well as the staff. They do a great job with both checkups and vaccines (for our extremely crazy dog). Every time that we have needed to bring him in for any reason, we have been able to get an appointment within a couple of days, and the couple of times that we have had emergencies they were very calm and assisted us in getting the information that we needed at the moment. Aside from the timeliness of appointments, the staff and Dr. Hanke are always extremely friendly, helpful, and seem to care about, like, and remember our dog each time that we bring him for an appointment. Most importantly, they have always provided excellent care to our dog. Unfortunately, we are moving out of the area so will need to find a new vet, but if we were staying in Pittsburgh we would continue to bring our dog to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital for many years to come.

I had an incident with my dog where he needed emergency treatment. I was unaware that they were closing but the veterinarian told me to bring my dog in. As soon as I got there, the veterinarian immediately assessed my dog. I was told he needed a couple of stitches and I gave consent. The team took such good care of my dog. They took there time and wanted to make sure my dog was ok. None of the team rushed and they concentrated on my dog. I kept them almost 2 hours after closing but none of them cared. Needless to say i take my dog there on a regular basis. Dr. Winnie is fantastic with animals and is very knowledgeable. The staff is wonderful and will assist you in any way.

I keep getting told to go to the ER which is highly stressful to my dog and the ER has zero knowledge of my dog or his special needs.

UPDATE: Unfortunately I had to put one of my cat babies down (18 years old) . He had lost a lot of weight. Dr. Winnie knew something was wrong, even after x-rays and blood tests came back fine. He promised that after exploratory surgery, we would have a definitive answer. It was pancreatic cancer. Past the point of treatment. They kept my baby alive until we could get there, within an hour. I opted not to wake him up but wanted to be there. The vet techs cried with us!! One of them, between tears, said to my boyfriend: We do this job because we love animals. They were so nice to us, offered to send us a bill since we were so upset, then we received a card a few days later signed by everyone who had tried to help him. It was really really touching. Love these wonderful and caring people. Thanks Dr. Winnie and all of your staff. Took me awhile to write this but you all have a place in my heart. I've been taking my cats, my dog, and even past boyfriends' dogs here for years! Dr. Winnie is excellent! I've seen a couple reviews on here commenting on the Doc's personality, and I'll admit it, he isn't very personable. He is nice, don't get me wrong, he's just not into chit chat. But he is GREAT with pets! My favorite experience with the doc was when I brought in my cat who just had surgery for a blocked urinary tract (I would've brought him to Greenfield Vet for the surgery if it hadn't been 10pm!). My cat was still having some urinary issues, so of course I asked Dr. Winnie how long it would take for him to get better. Instead of just giving me an estimate, he pulled out a book and opened the page to the pic that showed the insides of a cat. He explained exactly what my cat was going through, where in his body it was happening, and gave me a realistic timeframe for when he would be back to normal. My questions were all answered in such a way that I did not feel rushed. He gave me straight answers, even giving me the bad (that my cat's kidneys had been damaged due to the blockage) and really took the time to sit down with me. I was so distraught when I got there (the surgery had been hard on me and my baby Kitten) but I left feeling that the worst was over and it was only uphill from there. I felt armed with knowledge and optomistic for the future. The staff are all very friendly. They make me feel welcome and important. I actually enjoy the simpleness of the decor. There is even wood panelling! Most vet offices feel like hospitals to me, which I really don't like! I know this is getting long but I have one more thing to add. Greenfield Vet really does NOT try to rope you into unnecessary charges. I've NEVER in my LIFE been able to get out of the vet office for under $100! NEVER! But it has happened to me at this vet. I'll never go anywhere else! Also, they have great hours! And even a walk-in evening! Love it! Read Less

If you consider your pets your family, GF Vet is the place to go! And they are very reasonably priced as well as accommodating. I moved here to PA a year ago and was recommended to Greenfield Vet. I am very protective of my pets and only want THE BEST... and that is exactly what they are, from the front office to the Doctor's. My one dog (Joey) is a rescued cattle dog. Not only is he a one person dog but he had been attacked at least one time that I know of (with previous owner) by pit bulls. He suffered from a punctured salivary gland and had evidence of major scar tissue around his throat. Dr. Winnie explained everything in detail and performed the intricate surgery and Jo has had no issues, at all, since. The staffs' patience, understanding of all our questions and genuine care for ALL or pets is very much appreciated!Because Joey has the disposition he has, they accommodate us by bringing him in the back or even coming out back for him. The vet technician, Samantha, goes above and beyond and treats my pets as if they are her own. I've had them seem by Dr. Handke as well, and was pleased. If I could give The Greenfield Veterinary Hospital 6 STARS  I would. Thank you to all Staff @ GF Veterinary Hospital Read Less

I have been taking my dogs and cats to Greenfield vet for several years, and recently brought my high anxiety dog in for an emergency visit when he had developed a mass. Because he required sedation for anyone there to even look at the mass, once Dr. Handke examined the mass, he was able to take my dog right then (after checking with me) to remove it and send it in for analysis rather than wait and schedule a second high stress appointment for my dog. We got the all clear results back in just a couple days, which was wonderful. I was surprised by some of the other reviews where human clients and animal patients dealing with similar situations didn't receive the same amazing care, consideration, and professionalism that I have received every time I've been there.

We've been using Greenfield clinic for many years as it is conveniently located and we were getting adequate care. Over the past four years I noticed a mass growing on my dog's thigh. At every visit (at least twice a year) I kept asking Dr. Winnie and Dr. Handke what it is, and both were reassuring me that it was just lipoma. Finally, my dog became lethargic, refused food, and was screaming with pain when touched. Dr. Handke looked at him, pulled his leg, and announced that it was arthritis. He prescribed anti-inflammatory medication. Again, I asked about the mass and he again said it was a lipoma. Next day after we started medication, all symptoms disappeared including lethargy and lack of appetite. I called the clinic and asked if I could talk to the vet as it was surprising for me how the anti-inflammatory drug would so quickly improve appetite and wasn't there any underlying cause. The receptionist refused to let me talk to the vet and rather angrily stated that it was just arthritis. Finally, 3 weeks later, the 'lipoma' got very hard, hot, and red. We took the dog to a different vet who had performed an emergency surgery and excised a huge mast cell tumor that already progressed to grade 2. I can't express how disappointed and angry I am with Greenfield vets. Not only they did not do a simple fine needle biopsy to at least confirm that it was lipoma (the first step recommended by several Google sites as I found out later), but even later when there were obvious symptoms, Dr. Handke could not put one and one together. HIGHLY UNPROFESSIONAL! I don't have time or desire to sue the clinic, and no money will bring my dog's health back, but these people should not be allowed to practice. Read Less

I had to bring my cat in for a routine exam. He's a little overweight, so I wanted to know what to do to get his weight down. I'd seen Dr. Handke and he sort of joked that one of his cats is a little overweight as well, which was nice since I was expecting to be chewed out!, but I didn't really get a plan on what to do to help out my cat. Obviously I should play with him more, but what about feeding him? Prices seem to be okay compared to others, though it stinks to be paying almost $50 to walk in the door and feel like you're a bit rushed through the appointment. They do push the prescription diets a bit more than I was comfortable with. I've heard stories about how Science Diet prescription dry foods are filled with fillers and things that cats don't need to eat. I'd enjoy seeing some grain-free/byproduct free options as well. There were a few cases of natural cat foods on a bottom rack in the waiting room, where they have a lot of their cat (and dog) foods. When I inquired, I was told the foods on the bottom rack were for the office manager. Maybe try selling some natural cat foods alongside the prescription ones. All in all, I've been going here for a long time, when Dr. Babick was the owner. The décor hasn't changed at all, save for the front reception desk. It's nice, to me, because I like the old-time feel. I'm a sucker for nostalgia! However, they don't have all of the top notch equipment and you might be referred elsewhere for more high-end tests and /or treatments. My biggest gripe is that they will push AVETS and PVSEC as THE number one ER vets to go to. However, PLEASE shop around! I found that there were a high number of complaints and gripes with those two; mainly unnecessary treatments, extremely high bills that surpassed estimates, and lack of sympathy if a pet were to die from treatments/whatever the emergency was. I went to the VCA Northview ER on Siebert road in Ross township when I had a cat emergency. It's right off of McKnight road where Ross Park Mall is at, but before it if you're coming from downtown. It's a really great ER vet service with friendly staff and the lowest ER walk-in fee in Pittsburgh. I very highly recommend them! But DO look at their location on Google maps before going. It can be a little awkward to find them in the dark, especially if you're already distraught over your pet. Give this place a go if you're in Greenfield/Squirrel Hill. The staff is super friendly, and that includes the vets. However keep a few things in mind: -Not to sound rude, but know the hours and don't think that they'll keep the door open for you. I saw a review about a couple that drove an hour to visit and Greenfield vet was closed. Sorry, but if you're driving from an hour away, maybe try a vet closer to you. -It's a small, outdated (to most people) in their décor clinic. -You might get there on time, but you might wait a while in the reception area, and then you might wait a while in the exam room after you get in there. You might be seen by a vet tech right away, but you might wait a while after the vet tech leaves and says "Dr. will be right in." Trust me, that vet will more than likely NOT be right in! I've waited as long as nearly a half an hour before being seen. Being that I've experienced that with my own doctor, I wasn't too mad, but I was getting a bit ticked. -They don't do time payments. It'd be nice, but I've never found a vet who does that. -You can say no to vaccines. I did this for one of my pets who I knew was under the weather. The vet didn't have a problem with that. -Don't let them get pushy. They may try to push a flea spray or collar your way if you say you have a flea problem. Don't be afraid to say no thanks. They won't bite your head off! I've been going there for a while and I haven't had any huge problems, thank God and knock on wood. If I ever did, I'd try the VCA Northview, which is a normal vet in addition to being an ER vet. There's also a cat's only vet in Shadyside, though the parking situation looks a bit iffy. Hope this helps! Read Less

My fiance and I spoke with Dr. Handke, he was very nice and informative, however he couldn't give us a clear diagnoses, so I will have to bring my dog back because the coughing is getting worse unfortunately. Overall I really like this vet. Read Less

Dr. Handke is an absolute unprofessional and unknowledgeable veterinarian. Stumbles on his words, talks incredibly too fast, always seems extremely nervous. Made us bring my dog in just to tell us he had no idea what else to do after his initial treatment didn't work. Said all we could was take him to a specialist because it was out of his practice and knowledge. Why make us make the trip to the hospital and waste our time and money when you could have just told us over the phone that we should go see a specialist. Should have told us to see a specialist to begin with on the very first visit if it was out of your practice and knowledge. Never ever taking a pet to this vet again and definitely would not recommend this vet. The only upside is the rest of the staff (vet techs, receptionists) are extremely nice. A shame they work with incompetent veterinarians.Read Less

I brought my two cats in for their yearly checkups and shots today, Dec 8, 2015. The 20 minute wait while the front desk person talked on the phone was annoying  but not the reason I ended up walking out of the office without either of my cats being seen.First off, my younger cat, Frances, a rescue cat had been to their office twice before in this past year,  and I was told they would get her spay records and first year shot records from the Animal Rescue League. I called Greenfield Vet 2 months before  she was due and again a week before I brought her in today to make sure they secured those records. I told the nurse the situation when we went into the exam room and she seemed thoroughly confused. She left the room and said she was going to call the Animal Rescue League and have Frances' shot records faxed right over. About two minutes after she left the exam room, Dr. Winnie came in and right away he was obnoxious and condescending. I asked him what was wrong since he seemed agitated and short-tempered and he rolled his eyes and shook his head as if to dismiss me. After a few curt words, he asked me what shots Frances needed. I told him I was hoping he would know. He left the room in a huff, and at that point, I knew my cats wouldn't be in loving hands, so I picked up both their carriers and walked out of the exam room. Dr. Winnie was was talking to the nurse and I told them I'll just take my cats elsewhere and he yelled out, "If you figure out what shots she needs...." and the door closed behind me.Just a week prior, Frances had gone into have blood drawn and the female doctor stuck the needle right through her vein and out the other end. NEVER again will I take any animal to Greenfield Veterinary Hospital. Read Less

I was looking for a new vet a little closer to me than my previous one.  I took my cat to them on 8/25/15 and they were fantastic.  A few weeks later, I ended up w/ a 2nd cat I hadn't planned on from a co-worker (who had to get rid of 4/5 of her cats).  He's 5 years old and had never been to a vet.  Again they were just wonderful.  My appt was at 7:20pm and it was running long.  I had thought I would have to bring him back again to get neutered, but Dr. Winnie said he could fit it in right after the vaccinations, even though it was already a few mins after their posted office hours.  He's a wonderful vet, very pleasant, explains everything, and takes the time to answer any questions you may have.  A member of the staff sat down with me afterwards and took her time to explain what to watch out for, how to give the pain medication, etc. (despite looking very exhausted from what must've been a very long day at work).A few days later, I noticed he was being lethargic and not eating much, which was the complete opposite of the energetic and big eating cat I knew him to be.  I called them and they said he should've been back to normal behavior in about 24 hrs (except the pain), so I should bring him back in.  They observed him for most of the day and called me back to come in.  Turned out everything was fine.  The real kicker was they didn't even bother charging me for the 8-9 hrs he was at their hospital.  They just said it was no trouble and they were happy to give me peace of mind.I would highly recommend to anyone who has pets to go to them.

This is the absolute worst vet I have ever been to - I will never again bring my cat here. After reading many positive reviews, I was hopeful that this experience would help me find a new long-term vet. I came this past Monday to the walk-in clinic, and the front desk staff were so friendly and helpful - it seemed like a good start. I arrived right at 2pm, and only had a short wait (maybe 5 minutes) to be seen back into an exam room (although the wait was much longer when I left around 3:30pm- about an hour). After a positive beginning to this experience, it all went steeply downhill as soon as Dr. Winnie came in for a consultation. I brought my cat in for her annual exam, and because I treated her for fleas the week prior and I wanted him to check on her condition.  The doctor was very pushy and condescending from the start; His tone was insincere and rude, and he was very obvious about being in a rush (probably due to it being the walk-in clinic hours, but still...). My cat's records were being faxed over from previous vets, and I was waiting to hear if she needed any vaccination; As we were talking, Dr. Winnie injected my cat without confirming - or at least verbalizing - that she needed vaccinations. Then, he attempted to quickly leave the room without even talking about her state of health (the annual exam I came in for). When I asked how she looked, he simply said she was overweight and didn't offer any advice  or further information without being asked. It seemed like from the start the doctor and the nurses were just trying to push products - whether it be vaccinations, flea medication, new brands of food, or flea home treatment - rather than listening to my concerns and actually checking out my cat. He seemed offended when I declined his suggestion to purchase two more flea medications to use simultaneously as well as a third flea product to treat my cat's reaction to the fleas - even though her fleas were successfully treated only a few days prior. Due to his insincerity, poor communication, and the fact that he rushed through my cat's exam, I will not be coming back. Read Less

I brought my cat to see Dr. Winnie today during the walk-in clinic, and I was very impressed by the knowledge, empathy and time he spent looking over my cat's health - this was a wellness visit with some changes in behavior that had been concerning me. He did a great job considering everything I was telling him and I could tell he genuinely cared about what was wrong with my cat whom he was meeting for the first time. I've been to other vet practices where I felt rushed out the door after a few needles and expensive tests that were read over a voice mail - but this was nothing like that. It was obviously a very busy night at the practice, as well - and I like that they offer a walk-in option (on Monday afternoons/evenings) that let me as a new client come right in.  Cost was a concern for me and Dr. Winnie was very direct and upfront with pricing as the appointment went along with different treatments and tests that would be helpful, and I feel that these options offered were realistic and relevant for the situation. At other practices the doctors haven't been able to offer prices, so you're left with a shock by the time you check out at the end of the visit when everything is tallied. The prices were also very fair/reasonable, especially when compared to other practices (a $47 exam fee vs. $60-80 other places). I will definitely be bringing my cat back for her next visits and feel confident that her health is in good hands. The techs that worked with my cat were also great with her - in each interaction I had with the staff at Greenfield Veterinary Hospital it was evident that every person genuinely enjoyed what they were doing and cared for my cat's wellness.

I had a nice experience at GVH. My dog ate a mushroom a few days ago and was sick. I called GVH on tips on what to feed her since she refused to eat the next day. They gave a good suggestion- boiled ground beef and rice- and my dog finally ate. I decided to schedule an appt to get my dog seen since 4 days later her appetite for regular food hadn't came back and she wasn't drinking on her own. I was giving her unflavored pedalyte through an oral baby syringe and I felt she needed seen.  I called at 1030am and the receptionist informed me they had a 12pm open. How lucky were we!!We got to the appointment and didn't wait long at all. Dr. Winnie did a thorough check on my pup and also did some lab tests. Everything came back fine regarding her organs because of the mushroom, but there was another issue (nothing serious) We ended up leaving with 3 medications and a medicated shampoo. The doctor said to stop feeding my dog beef-rice mixture before she starts enjoying it too much and eventually she will eat. He was so reassuring and helped out a lot. He fully explained everything as well as all of the medications. He wants to see my dog in a month to check the progress.I think my new dog and I have found our official vet. Read Less

I've been taking my cats, my dog, and even past boyfriends' dogs here for years! Dr. Winnie is excellent! I've seen a couple reviews on here commenting on the Doc's personality, and I'll admit it, he isn't very personable. He is nice, don't get me wrong, he's just not into chit chat. But he is GREAT with pets!My favorite experience with the doc was when I brought in my cat who just had surgery for a blocked urinary tract (I would've brought him to Greenfield Vet for the surgery if it hadn't been 10pm!). My cat was still having some urinary issues, so of course I asked Dr. Winnie how long it would take for him to get better. Instead of just giving me an estimate, he pulled out a book and opened the page to the pic that showed the insides of a cat. He explained exactly what my cat was going through, where in his body it was happening, and gave me a realistic timeframe for when he would be back to normal. My questions were all answered in such a way that I did not feel rushed. He gave me straight answers, even giving me the bad (that my cat's kidneys had been damaged due to the blockage) and really took the time to sit down with me. I was so distraught when I got there (the surgery had been hard on me and my Kitten, yes that's his name) but I left feeling that the worst was over and it was only uphill from there. I felt armed with knowledge and optimistic for the future. The staff are all very friendly. They make me feel welcome and important. I actually enjoy the simpleness of the decor. There is even wood panelling! Most vet offices feel like hospitals to me, which I really don't like! I know this is getting long but I have one more thing to add. Greenfield Vet really does NOT try to rope you into unnecessary charges. I've NEVER in my LIFE been able to get out of the vet office for under $100! NEVER! But it has happened to me at this vet. I'll never go anywhere else! Also, they have great hours! And even a walk-in evening! Love it! I live in Lawrenceville but I'll still make the trek! Read Less

I've been taking my cats here for about 5 years.  We've seen both Dr. Winnie and more recently, Dr. Henke. I've had everything done from physical exams to complicated surgery at Greenfield Vet, and for the most part, I've been very happy with the care my cats have gotten. I have to say, Dr. Henke seems to have a better bedside manner than Dr. Winnie, but both of them do a good job of examining the cats and performing procedures. Also, when my cats have had serious medical issues, the follow up care has been good, and I've been happy with the level of communication (they will always call back promptly if I have questions or concerns). They keep good medical records, which is helpful. And while there has been some staff turnover, across the years, I really like the vet tech that's there now (Michelle).  In short, Drs. Winnie and Henke are competent, thorough vets, and I am pleased with the care my cats get. Read Less

I have had dogs and cats for 40 years, and have used vets in multiple states.  Dr. Winnie is by far the finest vet I have found.  I have been using him for the last 10 or so years, and he has treated several dogs and cats for me.  He is a great diagnostician, and always takes time to thoroughly explain what he is doing and the results of any test.  He demonstrates concern for animals well being while at the same time not applying pressure to use extraordinary measures in complex cases (though he always offers the option).An anecdote of his diagnostic acumen: I recently brought my mothers dog to live with me after she moved.  This dog had recently been to her old vet (one considered a fine vet in that area).  I took her to see Dr. Winnie just for a check up and he found one issue overlooked by the other vet, and recommended a different course of action for two relatively minor existing issues.  While I'm not a vet, I found his explanations for his suggested treatments compelling.To summarize, I've always been very satisfied with the treatment he provides and have always found visits enjoyable.
