Bellevue Animal Hospital

Wow what can I say?! This is everything anyone could want from a veterinarian’s office. The front desk ladies, techs, vets: everything about this place exudes love!!! What more could you want for your baby??? My cat has been a regular here with all of her complications, and I continue to trust these ppl with everything! I am so beyond grateful 😊🙏🏼 These ppl are angels to me. Read Less

My fur baby broke her nail last night , fairly close to the quick I was terrified to try to tend to it, I called Bellevue Animal Hospital 5 minutes before they opened and told me to bring her in , within minutes they trimmed her nails and she was smiling at them , I so appreciate the promptness and concern for my babies comfort . Thanks to the staff that helped Polo out this morning. Read Less

I can not say enough wonderful things about Bellevue Animal Hospital. Each and every person I've come in contact with, from the ladies at the front desk to the vet techs to the vets.....they are all so great. They are patient when we are worried about our babies, and it's obvious that they love our animals as much as we do. Read Less

We have taken our dogs and cats here for medical care for more than 20 years, from routine care to illness to trauma they have taken care us thru all. The doctors and staff are incredible and treat every animal like their own. Read Less

The receptionist was the only bright spot of this trip. We took our dog in today because he had an eye issue. It is Saturday, so they were short staffed, and there was not a veterinarian on duty, but rather a couple of vet technicians. After about 30 minutes, we were told that they had no idea what was wrong with my dog's eye, and said we needed to go to an emergency vet. Before we left, the vet tech said, "I've seen something like this before, and it was serious. The dog ended up losing the eye." After saying this he said, "but hey, it could also be allergies." And then he sent us on our way. Are you kidding me man?? You don't even know what's wrong with him, but you're telling me casually that he'll probably lose his eye? Anyway, I totally understand the vets not wanting to come in on the weekends, but don't leave technicians, who can't properly diagnose animals, in charge. Also, we are at the emergency specialist now, and it turned out to just be allergies. Again, if you don't have a staff member who can diagnose an allergy, don't be open on the weekends. Read Less

You guys were great for Kashmeir, and I, thank you so very much, he's a different guy without the painful matts that were forming, Kashmeir is almost 127, you guys were great with him and he didn't even need any sedative, and he was eating and playing 10 minutes after we got home, a big thank you for taking care of us today Read Less

I recently relocated to Nashville after being spoiled rotten the last few years at my vets office in Chicago. Like most pet owners these days, my pup is my baby and I want him to feel special and loved wherever we go. I also work in the pet care industry so I'm prone to being a little more selective when it comes to who will provide care for my own pets. After visiting a couple nearby vets offices, I began to feel discouraged, as we didn't feel welcome, valued or appreciated in any of these establishments. I felt like a walking dollar sign.  Within seconds of walking into Bellevue Animal Hospital, my faith in this city was restored as both myself and my Great Dane, Ichabod were warmly greeted, and Ich was spoiled with compliments and treats as they slowly got to know him and make him comfortable.  Now, he's a big baby and can be a bit of a jerk face when put in situations he doesn't volunteer for and he was doing his best to throw quite the oversized tantrum (facepalm). The staff handled him well, was professional, calm and gentle in their methods and said all the right things to make me NOT feel like the embarrassed mother of a 115 lbs wuss of a dog. All of the staff was knowledgeable,  provided sincere and educated advice and did such a great job welcoming us to our new city. We will definitely be coming back and speaking highly of Bellevue Animal Hospital. Read Less

Dr. King and his staff are the best in Nashville! They treat your pets like they belong to them and all of my experiences have always been so down to earth & great! It's good to have a neighborhood vet who knows your pet and you by name. Read Less

I've been coming to Dr King since we moved to Bellevue 20 years ago. Our German Shepard, was termed "hard to handle" but at BAH she was treated like family. Our 11 yr old Chocolate Lab "Coco" loves everyone there and our newest family member Zoé will be going as well. We had a horrible experience with my daughters 4 year old rescued Boxer and she had to be euthanized . But Dr King did everything humanly possible, and cried with us when it was time to let her go. They love animals here. You can't find a better place!!Read Less

We moved here with one cat and one dog. Locals seem to have an affinity for disposing of their animals in my yard. Behind my house are train tracks. We now have three cats and four dogs. Thanks, Bellevue, for being responsible pet owners. My kids and I took your unwanted animals to Bellevue Animal Hospital and have had them all fixed, vaccinated, medicated, and sadly, one cat had to be euthanized. These people have been FABULOUS with OUR furbabies. Believe me, I tried finding new homes for them but they're all as weird as we are so they've stayed. They will also continue to go to Bellevue Animal Hospital. Read Less

Uncle Dan is the most amazing doc ever. He's taken care off ALL our furry babies at one time or the other. The staff Rocks also. Gotta give a BIG shout out to Christy, Tonya and James. They make my life sooooooooooooooooo much easier by being honest, helpful and incrediably caring. :) Read Less

The staff are all really friendly and kind. Tonya at the front desk was very flexible and understanding and knowledgeable.  And the vet and vet tech that I saw were just great! They knew their stuff and they were gentle with the puppies and they also were personal with me. Parking was easy. The facility seems clean and doesn't smell. They also have a sweet, cuddly cat that lives at the center and greets all the patients there. so cute! And I really appreciate that they help a bunch of dog rescues. True animal lovers!They also offer low-cost spay/ neuter services. Read Less

This place has incredible prices, no doubt about that. However, my dog's neutering did not go well. They do not give pain killers before the operation, (something they DO NOT disclose). Additionally, when I picked my dog up the next day, his "package" was so, incredibly swollen. I had never seen anything like it. And in my lifetime, my family has had seven dogs neutered. Apparently, after his surgery he got very sick and after he swelled up, he popped his stitches and he had to have staples put it. When he got sick he started vomiting. I picked him up the day after the surgery and they hadn't even wiped the vomit off of his head. He had dried vomit on his head. AND, a lot of dried blood on his legs. Also, to make everything worse, he started bleeding a little while after I got him home. I called and asked if I should bring him in and they said yes. When I got there the vets, particularly the head vet, was extremely condescending towards me. I've had seven dogs neutered, (not to mention, I have also had upwards of 20 cats spayed and neutered. [I lived on a farm]), so this is not a new experience for me. The head vet was extremely insensitive and spoke to me in a very degrading way. Unfortunately, I do have to return to get my dog's staples out, but it will certainly be my last visit. Just be very wary about this place. The prices are absolutely incredible, I can't argue that. I was just "rubbed the wrong way". And who knows, my experience could have been a total fluke, but I just wanted to share it. Read Less

We just moved to Nashville and had to find a new vet for our dogs and cat. We have been to the office 4 times now and we have been so happy every time. The girls in the front are always so personable and sweet to our pups. The doctor's and their assistants are always very helpful and I can tell that they genuinely care about their patients. The prices are very affordable as well. I have nothing but good things to say about this place! I fully trust them with all of my fur babies! Read Less

The people at Bellevue Animal Hospital have really walked with me through some of the more stressful episodes with my furry family members. The staff is very knowledgeable, and always extremely helpful, especially during the days that it seemed like I couldn't go on. They always go out of their way to comfort me, and my pets. They have been life savers for our family! Read Less

My boxer Che LOVES this place and is always treated with so much love. She, as all boxers are, is a handful and they are always patient and loving. The nurse techs that handle the animals while Danny King examines them are very well trained in handling their patients. They are all wonderful and I highly recommend them to anyone who has a pet and needs a vet. To respond to the other reviews: ALL the techs have been helpful and kind to my dog, especially the guy with the tattoos.......Che actually peed on him and he laughed about it! As far as the smell,....the facility is always clean and of course it smells like animals..........it's a VET! Read Less

My money and my dogs go to Bellevue Animal Hospital.  Dr. King and his staff are the bee's knees for my dogs.  He is great with our dogs even when they don't want to be cooperative.  I will even say that he has a great bedside manner.  We've had laser snippage on our male dachshund when he because a little too domineering and our female got fixed here as well.  They even have a kennel so your animals can vacation while you do. Read Less

We have taken our pets to Bellevue Animal Hospital for many years and they have always treated us and our pets well. We recently took our cat in and the staff was friendly and helpful. Dr. King and the techs were gentle and caring with our cat. They asked us questions and listened to our concerns. Read Less

I recently had to put my dog down. This is never a pleasant experience and Dr. King did not help the situation. Right before he is going to put him down (which means my dog was asleep not dead yet), I watched him drag my dog by the neck to get him on a table because as he put it I can't get down there to give him the shot so that my dog could go peacefully in my lap. This doctor's claim to fame is 30 years of experience but sometimes its just time to retire and I believe this doctor has no compassion any more for clients or the animals. He may treat his regulars just fine but my dog and myself were not treated well at all. I do not have any other animals at this time, but will in the future and I can promise you Dr. King will not be my vet of choice. Read Less

I own the world's sweetest kitty, and she is very scared and nervous. I had heard about Bellevue Animal Hospital's low cost spay and neuter program, so I made an appointment for today to have her spayed. When I dropped her off this morning, the receptionists were very unfriendly and nonchalant, not smiling or hardly making any eye contact. When the tech came to bring my petrified little girl to the back, she called to the receptionists, ""Which one?"" and they responded, ""blue carrier."" That's it. No name, nothing. Just ""blue carrier."" I found it a bit unnerving that my animal - whom I care about greatly - was just treated like an object or a commodity. The tech grabbed the carrier and just walked off, not greeting me or my pet. She didn't even bother to look at either one of us, or to say thank you, or to address my pet by name. I left feeling unsettled, and went back to work. I was discussing it with my coworkers, who are all familiar with the establishment. Within 5 minutes, I had made up my mind that I didn't want my cat to be there. Judging from the hospital's poor reputation and what I had seen in the employees' actions and attitudes, I called and said I was coming back to get my cat. I didn't even say my name, but when I got back to pick her up, they had her sitting right there ready for me. They must have obviously known from from the get-go by my reactions that I was uneasy. When I expressed my disdain with the vet tech's attitude, the receptionists just kind of looked away. I have worked in the pet care industry for ten years, and I know how professionals should act toward their clients. Bellevue Animal Hospital's ""professionals"" alll display lackadaisical, indifferent, apathetic attitudes, and it made me concerned as to how they were actually going to be handling my pet behind closed doors. They obviously lack compassion and concern, and each client that walks through their doors is just another nameless, faceless number. My pets are a huge part of my family, and I expect for that to be respected by animal health care professionals. I do the same for my clients, and make it a point to make sure that they know I care about their pets as individuals. I definitely did not receive this respect at Bellevue, and will stand firm in my low opinion of this practice. I will never set foot in that hospital again, nor will I ever recommend it to anybody that cares about their animals. Read Less

I took my dog here to get groomed because it was close to my house. When I pulled in I saw all of the employees outside smoking. I walked inside and the stench almost knocked me down. The place looked really bad and the staff was rude. I had a bad feeling about this place but thought I was just being paranoid. The nurse came to get my dog and he was covered in tattoos and had piercings all over. He did not speak to me or my dog and pretty much took her right out of my arms. I left her there screaming and crying. When I got to my car I decided I was not leaving her. I went back in immediately and picked her up. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET HERE Read Less
