We love this vet for our dogs. They've handled regular visits, the loss of a dog, and a new puppy with professionalism and a genuine love of dogs that cannot be faked. We, and our puppers have all loved the front office staff, vet techs, and Dr. Greenville. I cannot say enough about their care and concern during the difficult loss of one dog, the steady state for another, and the introduction of a new pup. Nothing but good things to be said about this vet. Easy to schedule, wonderful staff, clean office, top notch medical care for our pets. Read Less

This visit was for refilling medication but I’m still compelled to report how tremendous the service and care is at Circle C Animal Hospital. They always treat my questions respectfully and follow up with answers. It is great comfort to know that I have knowledgable and sincerely kind care for my much loved pets. Read Less

We had what turned out to be a great visit with Dr. Silvers and the staff. We took our 2 dogs, Lola and Kaia, for vaccinations and annual exams. Kaia is very nervous and scared at the vet and Lola then acts up because Kaia is freaking out. The vet staff realized if we put Kaia in a room she would feel better. We did that and Lola calmed right down. We were able to get both dogs treated with a minimum of fuss after separating them. Did I mention that they’re large dogs, 176 pounds between them. Kaia is very sorry for the little poop oops she left behind Dr. Silvers and we’ll definitely visit again. Thanks for taking such good care of our family. Read Less

I have been taking my 3 year old shih-tzu there since she was a pup. Always great service, friendly and ultra responsive staff. Recently we adopted a 9 year old shih-tzu who had no known vet care. Dr Silvers and her staff were great in making sure she has a complete and thorough health check and recommending appropriate (without over selling) course of treatments to make sure she is and will continue to be a healthy dog.

This was my first time taking my pet to a vet. The pet was not happy going to a new place, he refused to get into the basket. But the people at Circle C Animal Hospital were not just friendly to me, they immediately gave me a room where I could try to get my pet to relax. The doctor's assistant handled the pet so carefully and with respect, that the the kitty calmed down after being scratched at the right placed. They were also extremely helpful getting him into the basket so my trip back was peaceful. Thank you! Read Less

Update: Our cats have now been adopted 7.5 years ago. Circle C Animal Hospital and Dr. Rafferty in particular have been helping us and one cat work through Mammary and lung cancer. He and his staff have been very informed and professional while still being so gentle to our cat - even wrapping her in a warm towel during her XRays and exam. I cannot imagine a better vet when you are dealing with some tough problems Circle C Animal Hospital had been helping us take care of our cats since we adopted them 3 years ago. We usually see Dr. Rafferty. He has consistently given us excellent advice and superb health care when our cats have been healthy and when they have been very ill. He is firm but loving in his handling of our pets and so is his staff. Their prices are always very fair. We feel very fortunate to have Dr. Rafferty and Circle C Animal Hospital as our veterinarian.

The kindest, friendliest staff you could ask for. Our veterinarian is amazing, I love the board that says the names of the pets with appointments that day. Coffee, water, and always a clean facility. Definitely recommend. Read Less

When I first adopted my dog Roxi in 2007 I took her to Doctor Rafferty. She actually loved going to see him. I moved to Dallas for 3 years and took her to 3 different Vets trying to find the same great care. She was a nervous wreck every time we went. I moved back to Austin in July of 2016 and took her to see Dr. Rafferty again and she is back to not minding going to the vet again, which in turn keeps me calmer too..lol. She has seen Dr Silvers now a couple of times and our experience is every bit as good as with Dr. Rafferty. In my opinion based on the many vets I have visited with my over dramatic dog (: this one is the BEST and most caring group of doctors we have seen. Read Less

We've been taking our fur baby, a dog, to Circle C Animal Hospital for a little over a year now; since we moved to the neighborhood. I have always had a positive experience and, more importantly, my dog has had a positive experience. Our visits so far have been not only annual checks, but also a dental cleaning (using general anesthesia), and a scraped pad that required attention for a while last year. On all fronts, the entire staff has been courteous and helpful, easy to schedule with, and professional. Our veterinarian is Dr. Greenville, and she is extremely thorough, kind, and compassionate with our pet. It's easy to see how much she loves animals, and values the human-animal bond. That's really important to me, as it sets the tone in the room when we're there, and I know she's placing importance on it when my dog is being treated out of my presence (dental cleaning, shots, etc.).

We took our very sick cat Rosa to see Dr. Rafferty and his staff and could not have been more impressed with their professionalism and compassion. Our cat has a long, complicated health history and I could tell that Dr. Rafferty had reviewed her case at length, and his technician took very detailed notes, even asking us to repeat comments to verify that everything was correct in her file.  Dr. Rafferty and his technician were very gentle with Rosa and they talked through many options with us to plan the best course of action for our beloved pet.

I had been going to my old vet for more than 10 years, but I got feed up when I took my puppy who will eat anything that will fit down her throat, and they charged me more than $600. Instead of saying puppies are notorious consumers of inappropriate stuff. I changed to Circle C and I see a tech to get bordotella inhaled medicine and I saw the vet when she went lame. Everytime the charges are appropriate and the care is spot on. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. Read Less

It's always so hard to find a vet you can trust when you move to a new city. I was never quite comfortable with the first vet I found and so I kept looking. I was so lucky to find Dr Greenville and all of the staff at Circle C on my second try, especially because I live so far away from their practice. I don't mind the 45 minute drive at all: it's totally worth the extra time to get there! The loving, professional care my dogs and cats receive there is beyond compare. My dogs love her so much that, even if only one needs to go in for a visit, I bring both every time! These folks are absolutely the best I have found in my many years as a pet owner. Read Less

Dr. Greenville is the best. We have 2 rescue dogs that you would expect would hate to go to the Vet. Not our boys they have been loved and taken care of by the wonderful caregivers at Circle C for over 10 years. No matter who needs to see the Doctor they both go and are greeted with love and hugs . This team understands that your pet is part of your family and they make your family part of theirs, they are truly special. Read Less

We love our vet! They went above and beyond to treat our dear mean eyed cat, Unicorn Sparkles when she literally got bit in the butt by karma. When we adopted our new kittens the entire staff at Circle C Animal Hospital seemed to be legitimately fond of them and became familiar with their different personalities. I feel like Circle C Animal Hospital in akin to finding a great pediatrician for your kiddos. Read Less

Dr. Rafferty is amazing and everyone else is so incrediblly nice! You can tell they all really care about your pet. Our dog, Beauty, has been a patient there for 5 years - she likes them a lot and so do we!! Read Less

I have been using Circle C since moving back to Austin 7 years ago. Both Drs Rafferty and Greenville are good "dog people"! From annual maintenance to illness to injury to end-of-life care...they have been very thoughtful and helpful. Techs and front office staff are also organized and friendly. Read Less

My husband and I love Circle C Animal Hospital! The entire staff is very welcoming and even customize their sign at the front to have the names of all the pets who are visiting that day. I have never had to wait long to see Dr. Silver and they work well with my schedule. If I need to pick something up (like a flea pill or bag of food) I can just run by and pick it up without them trying to make me see the Doctor, a lot of vets will sneak in another office visit fee for that sort of thing. I will continue to go to Circle C even though I live further away now, it's worth the drive!Read Less

Here's hoping I've found our new vet. Our old vet, whom we loved, is no longer in business. This morning, I came home to find my older dog with a slightly distended abdomen. He was shaking, whimpering and clearly in pain. Immediately, bloat and other scary things came to mind; I was so worried! So I called the nearest vet, which happened to be this one. They invited me to bring him right in. Weirdly, my dog was already seeming a lot better by the end of the phone call (maybe 5 mins after I'd found him in pain), but I was still worried, so I went ahead and brought him in. Dr. Rafferty came out from surgery on another animal to give my dog a very gentle, careful exam. He took his time, was very thorough and knowledgeable, and seemed intelligent, caring and reasonable. My dog had by this point made a complete recovery. And at the end of Dr. Rafferty's exam, he said everything seemed fine! He said it might have been gas, and told me what to watch out for in case my dog got worse again. I was really glad he didn't push me to perform further testing to make sure all was well. I tend to be a low-interventionist person, and always appreciate a vet with common sense, who doesn't just try to make more money through unnecessary testing and procedures. Before Dr. Rafferty came in to see my dog, when I was with the staff member who initially checked my dog in, she mentioned that the vet might recommend X-rays and blood work. I told her we couldn't really afford the nearly $300 that would cost, and that we would probably decline that kind of expensive testing unless it was really merited. She seemed fine with that decision--what a relief that I didn't have to argue with her about it!--and then, of course, it wasn't even an issue, since Dr. Rafferty checked my dog out, determined he was fine, and didn't recommend further testing. I also liked that Dr. Rafferty found a few things during his exam unrelated to the immediate issue, that he told me about so I could keep an eye on them. The staff were also very nice; I had even cried on the phone when I called in (I was so worried!!), and they were very gentle and compassionate, and very kind in person as well. And the whole visit only cost $87, even though it was basically a drop-in emergency visit plus 6 months' worth of heartworm pills that I purchased since my dog was due for a refill! I was expecting it to be a lot more expensive! Thanks, Circle C Animal Hospital! Read Less

We always love everyone at Circle C Animal Hospital! Dr. Silver was amazing with our newly adopted pup - Lulu... Always so friendly, sweet to the animals and takes time to answer all questions. I my former sweet pug was also seen at Circle C Animal Hospital for many years prior to him passing away at the young age of 16 yo. Of course, they were always perfect and loving to Max. When he passed away, they were like family and cared for him (and me) in such an amazing heartfelt way that made the loss to our family a little easier. I can never adequately say how wonderful Circle C is to the animals and families! Thank you! Read Less
