Vickery Place Animal Hospital

I'm new to the area and was looking for an exotic vet for my ferrets. Unfortunately before I found a vet, one of my ferrets became very ill. I contacted Vickery and they squeezed me in that day. All of the staff were very personable. Dr Dearixon was extremely thorough in her examination of Lexi, while being sympathetic to the situation. She had Lexi back on track by the next day. I was also very appreciative of the fact that I did not walk out of the office broke! Their prices are very reasonable. Thank you so much for your efforts and promptness! Read Less

I have been taking my pets to Vickery Place Animal Hospital for 10 years now. The staff is always courteous and helpful and the doctors have been great with medical issues my two cats have had over the years. They always provide thorough information on any medical concerns they identify and I don't feel that they push to do unnecessary tests or procedures. Finally, I always get a super quick response to phone calls and refill requests. Read Less

These vets have saved both of my cats lives and I’m very grateful for them!! They always are extremely accommodating, even if I have to come in right before they close. I don’t want to take my pets anywhere else Read Less

I originally chose this vet simply because it was close to my apartment but I have kept going because of how great the staff is! I have had to board a handful of times over the past three months and I honestly don’t trust my dog with any one else overnight. Read Less

I’m sure this place has generally been very good in the past but I don’t get the sense they’ve got their business together anymore. Our dog has gotten very sick 2 of the three times we took there. One was some sort of reaction to worms medicine, and another was kennel cough (after only a 15 minute visit). Maybe it’s just coincidence but it’s just been too many bad experiences in a row that I wouldn’t recommend this place. They also did not upload our dog’s paperwork after her first visit so we had to do that again on the second visit which caused some confusion.Read Less

Vickery Place has been taking care of my senior citizen poodle Verdelle for years now and we couldn't be happier. Their exams are kind, their advice is considerate and thoughtful and their boarding is the best. Dr. Kores and the front desk staff always go out of their way to make sure we have everything we need. Can't recommend Vickery Place Animal Hospital highly enough!! Thank you guys for everything you do for our little one. :) Read Less

After vacation, we picked up our dog from being boarded and she was extremely sick. Green goop oozing from her nose and eyes, and very lethargic. They immediately put her on antibiotics and kept a watchful eye on her for several days pumping IV fluids into her. She would have died if they didn't treat her right away. Highly Recommend. Read Less

My pups love going to see Dr Kores!!! The entire staff is professional, knowledgable, caring and friendly! I know that my "kids" are getting the very best care with Dr Kores and it is so nice to know that they are well loved and cared for while they are there. Read Less

I wish I could give them higher than 5 stars! I would trust Dr D and Dr K with my own life! These two ladies are miracle workers! I took my Harper in at the last minute on a Thursday because he was so very sick. They did a sonogram and he had blood in his abdomen and was near death. They treated him and today he is the happiest, healthiest little ferret! I thank GOD that I took my baby to see these ladies. I took my Frankie in yesterday and they kept him all day and gave him fluids and took care of him and today he is up and running around and eating on his own. They saved another one of my babies! Dr D even called to check on Frankie today after Dr k sent her a text checking on him! These ladies truly care about my babies and truly want to save them! Thank you both for being amazing! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Here are 5 more stars for y’all! Read Less

Dr. Dearixon and her team at Vickery Place Animal Hospital are the absolute best! My pets and I have been coming here for over 10 years! Dr. Dearixon has treated every furry friend I've ever had, from guinea pigs to my recently adopted puppy. The prices are very reasonable and the clinic is immaculate. The receptionists are welcoming and knowledgeable, the technicians are gentle and patient, and the veterinary doctors are some of the best in Dallas! I highly recommend Vickery Place to anyone looking for the absolute best veterinary care clinic in DFW! Read Less

Best staff ever! Last set of shots and Madison didnt even cry. They have treats and water for the animals and a turf potty area on the side of the building. Appointments are kept on time and affordable. Read Less

Vickery place animal hospital wonderful.  I brought my pekingese in without an appointment with an eye injury, and they had a Dr. Examining him in 15 minutes.Dr. Dearixon had wonderful bedside manner, treated my pet as if he were hers, she spent plenty of time talking with me and easing my concerns.The care he received from the minute I arrived until I left was unlike anything I've ever experienced before.I was told by a previous a few days earlier that nothing could be done, but Dr. Dearixon found some options.She will be my primary Vet from now on!

Took my baby for teeth cleaning and to do whatever needs to be done. Receptionist:Cynthia and Stephanie two amazing people love them very sweet and friendly. Dr. Beckworth was very professional, gave me an estimate of the procedure ( of course it was high, but nothing when it comes to well being of my baby) they took a great care from what I see now. Hopefully he will recover after removing 4 of his teeth quickly. He looks good I think I was under more stress than he was. I'm very thankful for fast and great service they provide to my baby and understanding and support for me. Read Less

My friends recommended me to this place and Came in today to take my little Archie for his scheduled appointment. The staff was extremely friendly. The doctor had a lot of knowledge and they were so supportive on Archie's behalf. They recommended a dental procedure and were able to discuss about pet insurance plans. Needless to say, Archie has a new vet!! Read Less

My poor pup had punctured a hole through his lip and they took amazing care of him and put me at ease. Also their prices are not over the top and very affordable at least for the treatment we had done. Highly recommend! Read Less

Completely flabber-gasted as to why a well visit with a vaccine would cost my daughter over $300 for her healthy little pup. AND they wanted another $800 for dental work?? Who are these people? Is this place a scam? Bamboozled as a new customer. Recent college grad/recently married/brand new job = totally taken advantage of! Read Less

Recently moved to Dallas from Nashville and already love Vickery Place! They made us feel right at home.  The waiting area is clean and the receptionist was extremely friendly and welcoming.  Dr. Beckworth and the vet tech I met were equally professional and took time to carefully answer each of my questions and discuss options.  They were gentle with my new puppy, gave him a thorough examination and even demonstrated how to apply an ear medication instead of just explaining it to me. Finally, I love the Petly program they use for clients to keep track of pet health and appointments. Read Less

I recently had a very disappointing experience with this vet. My 11 year old yorkie had a hotspot on the back of her neck that quickly increased in size. She was losing her hair and had tons of terrible looking sores all over her neck, down one front leg and all over her snout. The vet at Vickery Place charged me over $300 for the visit and chalked it all up to being caused by seasonal allergies. This did not sit well with me as my dog has never been bothered by allergies and the condition continued to worsen. I took her to get a second opinion from another vet who immediately showed concern that the condition could be mange. She did a simple skin scrape and confirmed that my dog was not in fact suffering from allergies but had a severe case of demodectic mange. It is extremely upsetting, and honestly heartbreaking, that the vet at Vickery Place did not take adequate care of my dog and because of her negligence, my dog went several weeks without receiving appropriate treatment.

We drove in from Andrews just to visit them! They're really good with ferrets. Very friendly staff and reasonable prices. They really take the time to talk with you and ensure you get the answers you need.Read Less

I love this vet and no doubt they are top notch... But please know that the pricing reflects. I just took one of my cats to have his teeth cleaned and the bill was $600. I mean DAMN. I'm a college student so that's a lot of cash. But hey, most people who live in this area are professionals so I get it. I had an absolutely horrible experience when I tried a 'cheaper' clinic one time years ago and now my other cat is maimed for life. All in all I do think it's worth it to know that your animal is in a safe place with knowledgable docs.My only other complaint is that over the course of two days, one person told me my cat was lean and another told me my cat was overweight. I was laughing about it like was he bloated yesterday? I'll be listening to my gut on this one. Read Less

Dr. Beckworth has been taking care of my 3 cats for the last few years, she always makes sure to call to follow up and check how they are doing after any procedures. Love the old fashioned service and the whole staff really cares about your animals! Read Less

Great experience bringing my cat here. Staff is extremely helpful and are passionate about what they do. They are very transparent with their prices and services and never do anything without your approval. Definitely recommend them.Read Less

Dr. Beckworth has take incredible care of my two dogs for many years! I love the staff and the care we receive. I highly recommend this vet and clinic! I board my dogs at their "sister" facility, the Canine Country Club, which I also recommend! Read Less

I have been taking my Labs to Vickery Place for about 10 years. We moved to Mckinney- I tried a vet there, had an unsatisfactory experience so I started driving back to Vickery Place . We recently moved to Rockwall but I did not even think of changing vets again. My experience at Vickery Place has been one of friendly, knowledgable, caring people and FAIR PRICING.  I highly recommend this clinic. Read Less

My three-year-old dog has been going to Vickery Place for the past couple of years. He hasn't had to see the vet very often, except to get his necessaries. He recently injured his leg pretty significantly, so he had to wear a splint. When he first injured himself, I took him to an animal ER in Colorado (we were on vacation) which is normally double the cost of a standard veterinarian clinic. The cost of the splint was $75.00. When I took my pup to vickery place, they took off the splint to examine it. They put it back on, free of charge, and asked me to bring him back once a week. I took him back the next week, and they replaced the splint and charged me $75.00. The next time I took my dog in to get checked, they charged me $179.00 to change the splint. When I asked about the increased price, the receptionist seemed completely exacerbated and annoyed-- like I was a gnat flying around her face. I wasn't one of those bratty, annoying penny-pushers either.. I'm terrified of being one of those people! She didn't answer my question and instead called the vet back to the front. The vet told me that she had charged me $75.00 as a "courtesy," and the normal fee was $179.00 to replace a splint. I thought maybe I was just naive thinking that that was extremely expensive, but then I visited my sister's vet in downtown Houston. They told me that it is highly unusual for a splint change to cost over $75, and anything over $100 was egregious regardless of where the vet is located. I'm a 20-something college student trying to take care of my dog.. I'm by no means swimming in cash.The $100 increase in price, without prior notice, and the callous, indifferent response to my questioning of the increase was just really disappointing. Every other time I've been to Vickery Place they've been great. They are always nice to me and my dog. I think it's a great place to take your dog for routine check-ups, if you have the money to shell out. However, after my dog's recent serious injury, I do concur with other yelpers who question the value and integrity of Vickery Read Less

Dr. D and her staff are the bomb! I have a ferret sanctuary in Houston and, periodically, I load up a bunch of ferrets and drive to Dallas for Dr. D to treat them. She and her staff are very patient and kind as I stumble in from a 3 1/2 hour drive with stinky carriers and unhappy ferrets. They are knowledgeable, helpful and professional! We love you!! Read Less

I have several friends and family I've referred to Vickery Place and they love it too! The employees and doctors treat you like family, which I would expect from the people caring for our furry family members. Great listeners, excellent care and the expertise you want and need in healthy and difficult times. Beautiful, clean clinic feels comfortable to visit and the clientele you get to meet while there is awesome.Read Less

Just wanted to take a moment and thank the staff at Vickery Place Animal Hospital for their contribution to the Texas Veterinary Medical Foundation in remembrance of our little cat, Emily. It was a heart-warming surprise to get their card letting us know in the mail. Your thoughtfulness, utmost care and expertise is what makes you the best veterinary clinic in Dallas. Thank you!! Read Less

On behalf of our two corgis, I recommend Vickery Place for veterinary and boarding services.  Their staff is incredibly friendly and helpful, even as they politely ask you to sign for a large bill for a long weekend of boarding.And even as we have moved throughout Dallas (and further away from Vickery Place), we still bring our dogs here despite more convenient locations. Read Less

Such an amazing clinic!!! I first came here with one of my foster dogs from a rescue group, and they are so wonderful, I now bring my own dogs here as well. The girls up front are so knowledgable, and make a point to meet and get to know all the animals. The doctors are so compassionate, no matter the animal. (They treated my foster pup with as much attention as my other dogs) I would strongly recomend them to anyone. Read Less

I really enjoy the staff and Dr. Sperry but Dr. Wendy Dearixon pushes everything possible to sell including her and her husbands boarding despit the fact they have boarding at the hospital I recommend the boarding for cats at the Cat Cottage and believe Dr. Sperry is a more caring doctor toward your pet.Read Less

Dogs, Cats, and FerretsI have taken them all in and the expertise and the willingness to go the extra mile is outstanding. The staff is wonderful, they have emmense compassion for their patients and owners of the patients.Dont pass them up! Read Less
