Such a kind, friendly, understanding, patient, respectful, and thorough veterinary practice. Very happy I took my cat here!
Was referred to this place by a friend for a second opinion and learned they could do a dental procedure cheaper than the other vet I tried (though, of course, your mileage may vary). I was then impressed by their thorough understanding and explanation of my cat's problem during his examination. Plus, it was just right down the street from me, which helped quite a bit since my cat doesn't like car rides.
Great place, would highly recommend! Quite puzzled by the low reviewers since none of the people I interacted with there seemed rude or disrespectful at all, and my cost estimate was fairly accurate and detailed. I'll definitely keep going to this place for pet needs :) Read Less

I would always recommend Critter Doctor Animal Hospital to everyone, who are animal lovers and who values good local service given by caring and compassionate people.
Critter Doctor Animal Hospital offered flexible schedule, which allowed us to get an appointment right away because of our dog critical condition.
All services provided for my dog -including blood work and X-Rays, were appropriate for what my 4-leg friend needed immediately and the cost was fair.
Critter Doctor Animal Hospital never ceases to amaze me!

Took my new kitty into this 'vet' for standard vaccination and blood draw that they finangled out of me just to make money - scaring me into believing that I needed to test him for FIV when there was no reason to - he was completely healthy. They attempted to do a blood draw, with me waiting in the waiting area. I heard a baby shreiking, then realized it was my cat!! I ran into the surgery area and they had mr cat in some ugly looking hold while they attempted to get some blood out of the leg. After a quick discussion, I realized I didn't want the cat to suffer more. I told them to just give me the cat - I had had enough. They refused. I argued. They shoved me out of the door and then threw the cat at me. (can you believe this? It sounds like something out of a fiction novel but this is what happened.) I called the police, and they came. I declined, once they apologized, to file a charge of assault so as not to waste the police's time. I suffer from a disease which means that small assaults are very painful physically and can put me in the ER. They had no right to treat me like that, and obviously had no respect for the cat, regardless the owner.And that's why they call the pets "Critters" - this is not irony, people. Don't go here.

When a large lump suddenly appeared on my dog's hind leg, I took her to a vet in Redmond. The lump was aspirated, and the results showed spindle cell tumor. They gave me a quote for removal. It was expensive. My husband suggested we get another quote, we were definitely going to do the surgery - we love our dog.
Went to Critter Doctor for a quote, and ended up having the surgery there. I couldn't be happier.
Quote was 30% lower. Great. But this is what will keep us coming back: the surgery was unbelievably excellent. The doctor, Bernstein, was able to remove lump without going into the leg muscle. Our dog's recovery was phenomenally quick. And the incision was beautiful and healed in such a way that it doesn't show -- at all. I've been to worse dermatologists.
Bottom line: If you need a reliable surgeon, this is the place to go.Read Less
