Nolana Animal Hospital

McAllen, Texas
General Info
From the beginning, our approach to veterinary medicine has been quality rather than quantity. We have continuously upgraded the quality and variety of services that we offer. In addition to operating a full-service hospital for our regular clientele, we offer specialty services in surgery, internal medicine, radiology and dermatology. A significant portion of our business comes by way of referrals from other veterinarians across south Texas and northern Mexico.
Andy Baker began his association with NAH as a visiting surgeon, coming from Houston on a regular basis to do surgical procedures which were not available in the Valley at that time. In 1989 Dr. Baker became a full-time partner at NAH. Today the practice is owned and operated by Drs. Bentsen and Baker as a member hospital of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA). Dave Brown joined the NAH team as an associate veterinarian in 2003.
The NAH family is proud of our practice and we enjoy what we do.

These guys are great to do a quick procedure, but if you have an animal with complex, interacting medical issues that take time to manage and for which they can't hand you a humongous bill, you'll find yourself instead managed right out of their practice, and not very gracefully. It will come by email from some "doctor" whom you have never met or even spoken with over the phone. Any excuse will do, it will happen suddenly, with no warning, and it will happen AFTER you've forked over $1000+ for an expensive procedure of some sort. I don't know what passes for veterinary ethics in this day & age, but I found that utterly appalling by standards of (human) medical ethics, not just the fact but the manner in which it was done. Making matters worse, the email referred to my cat & companion of a decade as a "case" and the letter was riddled with simple grammatical errors that left me wondering if grammar school actually comes before veterinary education.Don't count on these guys to be there for you when the going gets a little rough. To them, your friend of a decade or longer is just a "case" they can use to extract money. If the situation will take a little time and patience to sort out & won't pay them a bunch of money in their pockets, this individual, whom I have never actually seen practicing at the clinic, will spring into action from his stock photography business to ruin your day with his inarticulate, unfeeling email flames.

I took my cat in to see Dr. Lamison since she had been experiencing some pain and bleeding and was lethargic. I was so afraid we would have to put her down. The Dr. found she had a bladder infection and we have been treating her with prescribed antibiotics. It has made such a difference in her already! She is more active and actually wants to go outside and explore the backyard. I am already thinking about getting her laser therapy for arthritis so she can be even more active. Read Less

Dr. Brown has saved both our dogs lives. He is extremely knowledgeable and I trust him completely. Plus, he tells it like it is--his interests are helping the animals, not to protect your feelings. Dog overweight? He'll tell you. However, when push comes to shove, Dr. Brown is the best vet I've ever encountered, and I've lived in other parts of the country where you expect good service. Please, if you are like us and love your pets like family, don't bother looking elsewhere. If you want to save a buck, then maybe this place isnt for you (although I dont think they are all that expensive either) Read Less
