I wish I could give it less than one star. This was a terrible experience in every way. Jody Kincaid deals in "alternative" medicines and treatments for pets - some people will find that a dubious prospect, others are perfectly fine with it. Regardless of your stance on this issue (I found the treatments completely bogus and worthless), the way the clinic operates is awful by any measure. The staff are rude, curt and unhelpful, and if you are able to actually make an appointment, Jody's waiting room is a kind of purgatory. When I visited they had a cat that roamed freely around the offices, as some sort of general mascot or comfort animal - this is a nice idea, but guess what? All it does is agitate the other animals in the room, leading to dogs scrambling around and barking, trying to get at it. The waiting room also had plenty of Jody's ugly political propaganda decorating the place - it doesn't matter if it's far left or far right, this is just obnoxious. If my dog is sick, I don't want to spend 45 minutes sitting in a dusty office staring at a "9/11 WAS AN INSIDE JOB" poster. This is a business (arguably), not the bumper on some idiot's car. Maybe they've cleaned up the place in recent years - i don't know, and since I'm never going back, I won't be finding out.All of these off-putting elements would be tolerable if Jody Kincaid was in fact the great vet he is made out to be, but he is not. Not remotely. His advice is shallow, his treatments cost a fortune and do basically nothing, and while I'm sure he's been through training, I would not rank him above competent in any aspect of veterinary treatment, and far below in most. His oddball manner combined with the difficulty of securing an appointment create the illusion that he is some in-demand miracle worker. Again, he's not. Rather than being the best vet on the Anthony/El Paso border, I would point out that he is the ONLY vet on the Anthony/El Paso border. You do have other options, however. If your pet needs a quick shot or a flea collar or something, then fine, hold your nose and book an appointment here. If you're looking for real help and compassion from actual professionals who don't treat this job like a stupid joke, then a half-hour drive in either direction (east or west) will lead you to other, better vets. I assure you, it is worth your time and trouble. Your pets deserve better than this garbage. Read Less
