Dr. Durham is the vet we use because we know by experience that he holds our pets with as high esteem as we do. Two years ago the day before Thanksgiving our baby was stung by a wasp. She immediately started to swell with bumps all over her. The other vets in The Colony would not take her without an appointment. Dr. Durham himself said to bring her in immediately. He traded his trip to pickup his turkey to save her life. He also saved her foot when she stepped on broken glass. We trust him. And our little (big) girl is not frightened of him. That says a lot.

They were great about seeing me last minute when I was worried about my dog's paw being infected. But the doctor barely acknowledged my dog besides checking her foot out. He prescribed her a ton of antibiotics, after I said I didn't have a whole lot of money. The almost $100 bottle of antibiotics made my dog feel more sick so I stopped giving it to her. Continued to clean out and disinfect her paw pad, and almost a month later she's almost fully healed with No complications. Why push so much medications when it's not needed?? Probably because I paid you almost $100 for it. Read Less

If I could give 0 stars I would. Like others have said: he over charges and is very rude and condescending. He makes you feel like if you don't spend hundreds every time you come in then you don't care about your animal. We had been taking our dog to him for a while, then one time our dog got really sick and we ended up paying hundreds for nothing. We decided to get a second opinion and when we asked for our dogs records he didn't want to release them. We had just paid for extensive blood work and x-rays he made us feel we needed otherwise our dog would die.

I just brought my little Kilo into this vet, sorta last minute. I was pretty sure our new (clawed) kitty scratched his eye. I frantically called around the area to see who could fit him in. (We just lost a kitty a few months ago, so I'm a little paranoid!). Most of the places I called wouldn't even take a new client the same day. (Uh, weird!) So I called Animal Health Centre and they fit him in this afternoon. Plus it is very close to the casa! I got there early (I know, I know, thank god I don't have children!!!) and they got me right in and started checkin him out. No scratches on the eye, yay!! But more than likely an infection, so they got him started on antibiotics. They printed me out a detailed invoice, plus gave me another print out on shot pricing and declawing for the little one. Very very affordable!! (Compared to other vets I'd been to). The vet, Dr. Durham, was SO nice and SO thorough. He spent alot of time with us and asked questions and answered questions. He was SUPER. It's just a small town vet, I believe it's just himself and his tech. It was actually nice to not have a room full of other animals in the waiting room. But he was steadily taking patients, so I thought that was good. Anyway, I'm VERY weird about doctors and vets, so I can't believe my good fortune this time! My prior vet is waaaaay on the other side of Mesquite so we've been thinking of getting a closer vet anyway. Check tis vet out if you are in The Colony area. I'm so very pleased. Read Less
