I've been taking my pets to Hyde Park for 25 + years. They are like family to us. I was an emergency room and day clinic veterinary technician for 10 years so I have personal experience dealing with both aspects of the business. The staff here is extremely knowledgable and dedicated to the well being of their patients. Their decision to not accept new clients or to go 'high tech' has helped keep prices ridiculously reasonable and their wait times manageable. I can't express the gratitude I have for these people in words. I admire their commitment to their profession and loyalty to their clients.

They have been marvelous with all my pets over the past 30 years. However, when my Afghan Hound became quite ill in December 2013, the animal emergency clinic where I"d taken him the night before gave me a disc with his MRI and X-rays to take to my vet. I waited on a very cold morning in my car until someone could help me get him out of the car. The vet tech was the first to show up. When I asked her to help me get him in (he weighed 52 lbs and could not walk and I am elderly and on a walker). As I asked her this, I mentioned that I had a CD with the reports and films from the emergency clinic. She said: We are not computerized. You'll have to take him to the clinic on Guadalupe. When I got there they said he was terminal, so he had to be euthanized. No free euthanasia at that place. I spent $850!!!

For the services they offer, Dr Joyce, Ann, & the past and present clinic crew are so exceptional they had to stop taking new clients.

The people here are the best! They are very knowledgeable and have genuine care for the animals. You and your pet are seen as yourselves, not a price tag. I wouldn't chose another clinic to care for our furry family members period.A few things that should be noted. They do not take new patients. (a review suggested they should be removed from yelp and the like but that makes no sense, people who do use the clinic need to have access to their information just like any other business.) They also do CASH or check only which is fine and keeps things like bill payments simple. They also do not do x-rays etc so for bigger procedures your pet will need to go somewhere else.As said before, they are the best and I feel blessed to be able to trust them with the care of our furry family members.

I think it's silly that these people are giving them one star because they were told to go elsewhere. You didn't even experience their vet services. They're both very sweet. Marry in, get born in, or find a regular who can vouch and you're golden (not positive about that last one). Otherwise find a different vet!

The internet can be a very angry place. I don't understand why comments turn ugly so fast.HPAC currently has one vet and one assistant. The assistant answers the phone, gets patient records, takes payment, gets medication, administers medication, takes care of animals in the back, cleans up after our animals and probably 20 other things. Not surprising that she has limited time for phone calls. She is actually a very nice person.Every small service business has to make a choice when deciding how to provide service. A dermatologist told me they could schedule me in 6 months (my rash would be long gone), several doctors were not taking new patients, and one doctor overscheduled so badly that I was seen 2 hours after my appointment time. HPAC chose not to grow, so they only had two choices - They could take any and all clients and get overloaded. Eventually enough people would be pissed off by bad service that the load would reduce to a manageable level. Or, they could make good service a priority and limit the number of clients to a number that they could reasonably service. They made the second choice. It is disappointing if you want to be a new client, but understandable.I became a "new client" by marrying a woman who has been going to HPAC since the 70's. I recommend that approach...These are dedicated care givers. Please don't punish them for that.

I have found these folks knowledgeable, friendly, caring, professional and would not want to go to another clinic and I travel 35 miles(one way) for each visit. My experience(mainly dogs, but a couple of goats) has been for only over 33 years and it's been a pleasure to know such fine people and vets. If you're lucky enough to ever find such devoted professional human beings that happen to practice veterinary science, treat them well and hope they have long happy lives. These are special people who are not greedy money grubbers. I'd love to have a business in Austin Texas that has such loving and devoted clients. They aren't for everyone one but those of us lucky enough to know them.

I am one of the fortunate ones who have been a client of this wonderful clinic since the 1980s and want to commend Joyce, Ann and David for their compassionate and excellent care of all the pets I have had over the years! The two vets are excellent and Joyce (Dr Taylor) is particularly caring, and Ann, the amazing vet tech, might as well be a vet herself, she is so knowledgeable! I cant say enough good things about them - tho, as others have mentioned, they are full up and cant take new clients, so I feel bad recommending... but i just had to tell Austin what a treasure this clinic is, and how great the medical professionals are here!

I'm with Guy M. and the other happy clients below. As everyone has noticed, the only negative reviews are from folks who didn't actually receive any services from HPAC and are angry about their no-new-clients policy. So they go on Yelp and whine and cry and give them a 1-star review for revenge....Clearly those people have zero chill, so I, for one, am glad not to share the waiting room with them.Anyways, I love HPAC and will give them their deserved credit. My parents and I have been taking our pets to see Joyce, David and Ann since 1975. Like other reviews mentioned, they are an incredibly small practice and they care so much about your pets, not about profits. Hence the reason they don't accept new clients. It's not because they're mean or "rude" - it's because their clients are lifers, and they are literally at capacity and have been for a decade.They are honest, more than fair with their prices, and incredibly compassionate. Under their care, my family and I have had nothing but happy, healthy cats and dogs that all lived to a very old age.And, not to sound morbid, but I'm going there - when it came time to say goodbye to our 15-yr-old lab mix and our 18-yr-old kitty, Joyce, Ann and David could not have been more caring about their passings. They cried right alongside us.They truly love your pets, and I have yet to find another vet as wonderful since moving away from Austin. It's unfortunate for the people that don't get to experience their services, but don't bash HPAC for being amazing veterinarians and enacting a policy to ensure the top-notch quality of service that they provide.

As others have mentioned, it feels mean to write a review about how great this vet is because they don't accept new patients. But...I'm going to anyway because they need to be acknowledged for how awesome they are.For starters, they're honest and minimalist, they function on a walk-in basis which is nice (though seem to appreciate a phone call in advance), and they only charge patients for what absolutely needs to be done. Being able to walk out after only paying $10-$20 is unheard of at most vets, but since they don't charge an office visit fee (most vets charge you $30-$50 just for you to walk in the door!), this is a regular occurrence here. It's obvious that they're not in it for the money - they're in it because they deeply care about animals and they want to give them the best quality of care possible. I live a few blocks away so it's also very convenient for me to take animals there, but I'd drive across town if I didn't just to know that they're getting such compassionate care. All the one star reviews this vet has received are from people who haven't even taken their pets there!! Hyde Park Animal Clinic seems to work with a lot of animal rescue organizations and independent rescue workers, which is why they have a constant flow of patients and don't have room for any more. They can be abrupt sometimes (especially over the phone) and I can see how one might mistake that for rude, but I really think it's just because they're so busy. They're great people who deeply care about animals.As a proud Austinite who is a little disgruntled by all the recent changes in our city, this place feels like Old Austin to me. It makes me really happy to walk in the door and interact with such a down-to-earth people. My only complaint would be that they don't open until 10:30 and they close early on Wednesdays (but of course they work so hard when they're open that they definitely deserve the breaks). A few times in emergencies I've had to to go to different vets just because they happened to be closed when I needed them. And going to these different vets is what made me realize just how lucky I am that my dear cat is a patient of theirs.

The veterinary staff are highly compassionate, dedicated, thorough and no fuss. The same veterinarians that opened Hyde Park Animal Hospital are still at the helm and have been in business since the 1970s. My family has had many pets and all have been well cared for here.

My dog has been a patient for 4 years now. I love this place. It's not fancy and they don't want to be. I love the prices....down to earth. They don't overcharge for Rx or nail trimming or anything else. I like that they have a walk in policy. It works just fine. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. They will give it to you straight regarding what your pet needs. They treat my pet like my Dad and Mom treated us as kids....they don't over react and run a battery of tests without cause. They're very conservative in their approach. They're not worried about being sued so they don't run tests just to cover their butts. I'm glad I'm already a patient. Thanks for all that you do!

Can't say enough good things about the expert knowledge, wisdom, care and compassion and reasonable cost of HPV. Ann is a sweetheart. I am extremely grateful for these folks!

I have been using Hyde Park for over 30 years and they are wonderful. I live in Leander but the drive to Austin is worth it for the care my pets receive.

They are not taking new clients, but if you are already established there, they will see a new pet.

I've been taking my pets to Hyde Park for 25 + years. They are like family to us. I was an emergency room and day clinic veterinary technician for 10 years so I have personal experience dealing with both aspects of the business. The staff here is extremely knowledgable and dedicated to the well being of their patients. Their decision to not accept new clients or to go 'high tech' has helped keep prices ridiculously reasonable and their wait times manageable. I can't express the gratitude I have for these people in words. I admire their commitment to their profession and loyalty to their clients.

No, they don’t take on any new clients but if you’re lucky enough to already in their system, they’re gonna give you the best damn service around. Even more, they’ll tell it to you like it is and never try to up-sell any unnecessary products your fur babies don’t need. I love this unit!

They have been marvelous with all my pets over the past 30 years. However, when my Afghan Hound became quite ill in December 2013, the animal emergency clinic where I"d taken him the night before gave me a disc with his MRI and X-rays to take to my vet. I waited on a very cold morning in my car until someone could help me get him out of the car. The vet tech was the first to show up. When I asked her to help me get him in (he weighed 52 lbs and could not walk and I am elderly and on a walker). As I asked her this, I mentioned that I had a CD with the reports and films from the emergency clinic. She said: We are not computerized. You'll have to take him to the clinic on Guadalupe. When I got there they said he was terminal, so he had to be euthanized. No free euthanasia at that place. I spent $850!!!

Unless you're currently a client of HPAC stop reading now. HPAC is so good at what they do they haven't accepted new clients in decades. That last sentence explains my review today. For the services they offer, Dr Joyce, Ann, & the past and present clinic crew are so exceptional they had to stop taking new clients. Otherw they would be infested with a as many customers as a flea bit yard dog in June.My heartfelt thanks and sincere respect to all of you at HPAC for all you've done for my extended family of furson's over the years.

The people here are the best! They are very knowledgeable and have genuine care for the animals. You and your pet are seen as yourselves, not a price tag. I wouldn't chose another clinic to care for our furry family members period.A few things that should be noted. They do not take new patients. (a review suggested they should be removed from yelp and the like but that makes no sense, people who do use the clinic need to have access to their information just like any other business.) They also do CASH or check only which is fine and keeps things like bill payments simple. They also do not do x-rays etc so for bigger procedures your pet will need to go somewhere else.As said before, they are the best and I feel blessed to be able to trust them with the care of our furry family members.

I think it's silly that these people are giving them one star because they were told to go elsewhere. You didn't even experience their vet services. They're both very sweet. Marry in, get born in, or find a regular who can vouch and you're golden (not positive about that last one). Otherwise find a different vet!

The internet can be a very angry place. I don't understand why comments turn ugly so fast.HPAC currently has one vet and one assistant. The assistant answers the phone, gets patient records, takes payment, gets medication, administers medication, takes care of animals in the back, cleans up after our animals and probably 20 other things. Not surprising that she has limited time for phone calls. She is actually a very nice person.Every small service business has to make a choice when deciding how to provide service. A dermatologist told me they could schedule me in 6 months (my rash would be long gone), several doctors were not taking new patients, and one doctor overscheduled so badly that I was seen 2 hours after my appointment time. HPAC chose not to grow, so they only had two choices - They could take any and all clients and get overloaded. Eventually enough people would be pissed off by bad service that the load would reduce to a manageable level. Or, they could make good service a priority and limit the number of clients to a number that they could reasonably service. They made the second choice. It is disappointing if you want to be a new client, but understandable.I became a "new client" by marrying a woman who has been going to HPAC since the 70's. I recommend that approach...These are dedicated care givers. Please don't punish them for that.

boooooo!!!!!! called in about getting my dog caught up on shots and was immediately cut off by the 'receptionist' asking if i was an existing client?? before i could respond she again interrupted me to let me know they hadn't taken new clients in 35 years. OK, that's great!!!!...here's an idea.....remove your info from any site which references vet services?CANNOT stand RUDE customer service!!!...especially from old people that always complain about younger generations lacking manners.

I have found these folks knowledgeable, friendly, caring, professional and would not want to go to another clinic and I travel 35 miles(one way) for each visit. My experience(mainly dogs, but a couple of goats) has been for only over 33 years and it's been a pleasure to know such fine people and vets. If you're lucky enough to ever find such devoted professional human beings that happen to practice veterinary science, treat them well and hope they have long happy lives. These are special people who are not greedy money grubbers. I'd love to have a business in Austin Texas that has such loving and devoted clients. They aren't for everyone one but those of us lucky enough to know them.

I am one of the fortunate ones who have been a client of this wonderful clinic since the 1980s and want to commend Joyce, Ann and David for their compassionate and excellent care of all the pets I have had over the years! The two vets are excellent and Joyce (Dr Taylor) is particularly caring, and Ann, the amazing vet tech, might as well be a vet herself, she is so knowledgeable! I cant say enough good things about them - tho, as others have mentioned, they are full up and cant take new clients, so I feel bad recommending... but i just had to tell Austin what a treasure this clinic is, and how great the medical professionals are here!

I'm with Guy M. and the other happy clients below. As everyone has noticed, the only negative reviews are from folks who didn't actually receive any services from HPAC and are angry about their no-new-clients policy. So they go on Yelp and whine and cry and give them a 1-star review for revenge....Clearly those people have zero chill, so I, for one, am glad not to share the waiting room with them.Anyways, I love HPAC and will give them their deserved credit. My parents and I have been taking our pets to see Joyce, David and Ann since 1975. Like other reviews mentioned, they are an incredibly small practice and they care so much about your pets, not about profits. Hence the reason they don't accept new clients. It's not because they're mean or "rude" - it's because their clients are lifers, and they are literally at capacity and have been for a decade.They are honest, more than fair with their prices, and incredibly compassionate. Under their care, my family and I have had nothing but happy, healthy cats and dogs that all lived to a very old age.And, not to sound morbid, but I'm going there - when it came time to say goodbye to our 15-yr-old lab mix and our 18-yr-old kitty, Joyce, Ann and David could not have been more caring about their passings. They cried right alongside us.They truly love your pets, and I have yet to find another vet as wonderful since moving away from Austin. It's unfortunate for the people that don't get to experience their services, but don't bash HPAC for being amazing veterinarians and enacting a policy to ensure the top-notch quality of service that they provide.

As others have mentioned, it feels mean to write a review about how great this vet is because they don't accept new patients. But...I'm going to anyway because they need to be acknowledged for how awesome they are.For starters, they're honest and minimalist, they function on a walk-in basis which is nice (though seem to appreciate a phone call in advance), and they only charge patients for what absolutely needs to be done. Being able to walk out after only paying $10-$20 is unheard of at most vets, but since they don't charge an office visit fee (most vets charge you $30-$50 just for you to walk in the door!), this is a regular occurrence here. It's obvious that they're not in it for the money - they're in it because they deeply care about animals and they want to give them the best quality of care possible. I live a few blocks away so it's also very convenient for me to take animals there, but I'd drive across town if I didn't just to know that they're getting such compassionate care. All the one star reviews this vet has received are from people who haven't even taken their pets there!! Hyde Park Animal Clinic seems to work with a lot of animal rescue organizations and independent rescue workers, which is why they have a constant flow of patients and don't have room for any more. They can be abrupt sometimes (especially over the phone) and I can see how one might mistake that for rude, but I really think it's just because they're so busy. They're great people who deeply care about animals.As a proud Austinite who is a little disgruntled by all the recent changes in our city, this place feels like Old Austin to me. It makes me really happy to walk in the door and interact with such a down-to-earth people. My only complaint would be that they don't open until 10:30 and they close early on Wednesdays (but of course they work so hard when they're open that they definitely deserve the breaks). A few times in emergencies I've had to to go to different vets just because they happened to be closed when I needed them. And going to these different vets is what made me realize just how lucky I am that my dear cat is a patient of theirs.

The veterinary staff are highly compassionate, dedicated, thorough and no fuss. The same veterinarians that opened Hyde Park Animal Hospital are still at the helm and have been in business since the 1970s. My family has had many pets and all have been well cared for here. As I look at what other vets charge for similar services and how profit-driven they are, I am happy to drive all the way across town to bring my pets here and know they are getting top notch care.

Never visited this place despite living down the road for 10 years with a boxer. i have tried to add him to their elite roster of patients for years, to no avail. What kinda business has no interest in additional clientele? Why not hire another vet? Are all the pets on their roster going to live forever?And they're rude as hell about it too.! Why even have a business listing?

My dog has been a patient for 4 years now. I love this place. It's not fancy and they don't want to be. I love the prices....down to earth. They don't overcharge for Rx or nail trimming or anything else. I like that they have a walk in policy. It works just fine. I've never had to wait more than 15 minutes. They will give it to you straight regarding what your pet needs. They treat my pet like my Dad and Mom treated us as kids....they don't over react and run a battery of tests without cause. They're very conservative in their approach. They're not worried about being sued so they don't run tests just to cover their butts. I'm glad I'm already a patient. Thanks for all that you do!

I went to them for 25 years. I'm neither a hoarder (see really bitter, rude, insulting to every Hyde Park client review below) nor family, not even a close personal friend, though I do really like them. I'd still be going to Hyde Park if we hadn't moved out of the area. I wish they were still my vet's office because of the following:Diagnostics talentSurgery talentCostFriendliness/CompassionAssistance to the communityPresent Out Of State Vet - "I can't say what the problem is. Let's get 8,00 tests and see 32 specialists. Yes, your cat, well, he (it's a she) has advanced cancer. That will be $2700.00, please."Hyde Park Animal Clinic - "Let us run some basic tests, but it sure looks like your poor baby has advanced cancer. Here's a ton of information about your options. We're so sorry. She's a beautiful cat, very sweet. That will be $165 and you don't have to pay right now if it's not convenient."

The vets and staff at Hyde Park are top notch. As Leann mentioned, while they will accept new pets of existing clients, they don't accept new clients altogether. They aren't trying to grow the business - they are focusing on providing the best care possible to the animals in their care.Hyde Park Animal Clinic is a beautiful example of why I love Austin - people doing what they love to do, to the utmost. They are successful, they make their clients happy and they keep our pets in great shape.

My non-human kids (aka cats) have been going there since 2004, I believe. The Doctors & Nurse are SUPERCALIFRAGILISTICEXPEALIDOCIOUS...probably mispelled that, but you know what I said. They have a GREAT heart in all that they do. I thought that after all these years of practicing they wouldn't be phased by the passing of an animal, but it does touch them every time. They really do think of and do everything they can to keep your animal healthy. The payment for services are a GREAT deal, too. They don't cheat the customer. I love them all! Thank you!!!!
