Highly recommend. A friend of mine's dog was diagnosed with bladder stones by another vet in town. Put on meds and special diet dog food. The friend was told the dog would be on the meds and diet for the rest of her life. I recommended a holistic vet for a second opinion. Evergreen told my friend her dog was not drinking enough water. Recommended 1 boullion cube or a quart of broth in 5 gallons of water to encourage the dog to increase her water intake. Her dog is off meds and special diet, no more bladder issues. The friend only had to do once to increase the dog's water intake. Read Less

My husband and I were referred to Dr. Evergreen, by my aunt and my grandmother, who just raves about him and swears they will never use another Veterinarian. We have a Siberian husky who has always been very aggressive to all of his Veterinarians to the point that he needs to be muzzled. Dr. Evergreen is the only exception to this. He gets down on the floor with the animal and has this way about him that is calming and makes even our dog love him. He truly loves animals and we are so happy that we made the decision to go to Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care. Read Less

I really like Dr. Evergreen and his approach to pet care. I brought my rescue kitty in for an initial exam to get set up with a regular vet after we moved to the area, and Dr. Evergreen was very thorough and spent a good amount of time going over my kitty's records, talking to me, observing my cat, and doing a thorough exam. Any time my cat has presented with an issue, Dr. Evergreen has given me a bunch of different options and really included me in choosing the best approach for my cat. Making appointments and getting callbacks have always been quick.I also really appreciated his nutritional knowledge and the focus on holistic healing. I have been very hesitant about continuing my rescue kitty's prescription diet for FLUTD since it seems low quality (especially for the cost!), and he presented me with some good options for high quality foods that would be good for my cat.

I have rescue pets that are aging. This is the first vet since leaving San Antonio (18 years ago) that I have loved. He was kind and patient and explained options for pain management and dental work. I was prepared for another appointment that would include a dental and a few lump removals instead I got an herbal supplement for pain, and advice on using an ox horn on teeth since the tartar was in an area chewing would take care of. We can review in a year and make a different decision. The prices are less than I've paid in years and to have someone listen and address concerns was beyond worth the price. My pointer rescue was the calmest I've ever seen him outside his own house. Don't hesitate just use Evergreen. Read Less

We have been taking our 5 pets (3 cats & 2 dogs) to Dr. Evergreen for many years. His approach is much more conservative then many other vets we tried & with a focus on quality nutrition for healthy pets. He takes his time to really explain things so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed. I never feel like he is pushing extra services just to make an extra buck. In fact he will often do things to help us keep the costs down. Recently our cat became very ill & even though he was in surgery his front desk talked with him about the problem we were facing with our cat & she immediately called back to rely a message back. Based on what we had described the dr believed our cat was experiencing a life threating issue & urged us to take him right away to an ER vet. Had we waited our little guy would have died. I'm so thankful that even though he was very busy he took the time for us & his gut instincts were right. He stayed connected with the ER vet & took the time to call us at no charge to explain what was happening & what to expect. I've never had a vet go so above & beyond like he did for us & our family. Thank you so much. Read Less

I have visited numerous veterinary clinics with myassortment of pets over the years, and no one compares to the quality and personalized care provided by Dr. Evergreen. I brought in my cat and my dad's 2 cats all at the same time for their yearly check-ups. Dr. Evergreen personally spent around 45 minutes in the room with us, assessing and explaining their health and personal needs. He is extremely knowledgeable of specific animal needs here in the PWN, such as what vaccinations are more necessary than others, what kinds of pests we should treat for, and what nutritional requires the animals needs for their age group. He drew pictures so we better understood what was happening with one of our cat's teeth, and personally called me to review another's normal lab work. Clearly Dr. Evergreen values his patients and their owners, and takes the time to call them personally instead of passing that task on to a tech. Even though I now live in Everett, I will continue to visit this clinic for my pets and future pets. Read Less

Six years of jumping from one vet to another just to find the best doctor, and we finally found someone that we felt really cared about Cooper.  Most vets provide a too aggressive of an approach to treatments and/or exams - it was the opposite with Dr. Evergreen.  He provided us with a lot of information that we didn't know.  He's thorough, takes his time, and very pleasant both to us and Cooper.  A holistic doctor that is a perfect complement to our holistic life for our Cooper.  We just wish we found this clinic sooner.

I called Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care and explained the situation going on with our dog who has EPI. (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) Basically no matter how much you feed your dog they will continue to lose weight. We were worried because she has been having some setbacks recently, and was starting to lose a little weight. She was becoming very picky about when she would eat due to some other issues we didnt really know about. Dr. Evergreen figured those other issues out as well. Evergreen Holistic got us an appointment the very next day moving some stuff around to make sure we could be seen as soon as possible. Being used to our old Vet I assumed they would want to run every test they could think of, take a bunch of blood samples, fecal samples and who knows what else. It wasnt anything like that. Dr. Evergreen based on what he was seeing, and what we were telling him, knew what action to take without all the expensive testing. He wasnt out just to make a buck and I really felt like he cared and explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand. We have a game plan and if we need to tweak that plan he already knows what hell do next if need be. They will be our full time Vet from here on out. When I went to pay I was blown away. The visit cost under $100. They spent close to an hour with us! I honestly was expecting hundreds of dollars like Im used to paying. So thankful. Plus this time I feel like my dog is actually going to get better. I cant say enough. I should have switch vets sooner. Read Less

I came into contact with Dr. Evergreen and his staff during at the end of life cycle for our senior cat Spunkie. Through it all they treated us with kindness, concern and compassion. We continued care with Spunkie's litter mate and sister, Smokie. For almost 8 months we were in the office for bi-monthly visits. Every visit we were met with the same smiling, educated, loving faces. Dr. Evergreen always managed to give us an update, offer advice and above all, connect with us as fur baby parents, united in keeping our pet healthy and happy. He was always a calming presence, is efficient and his level of care is top notch. In October we relocated to CA. And while our visits ceased, that high level of care and concern, did not. In a recent moment of need during the passing of our girl Smokie, Dr. Evergreen and his wonderful girls once again provided above average service, concern and care without a second thought. To say that I'm appreciative is an understatement. I can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Dr. Evergreen and every smiling, helpful, beautiful face behind the desk and the door for always doing your best and always providing top notch veterinary care for our fur babies.

I wanted a holistic vet, knew prices would be higher. Had taken my older dog in several times about concerns, was repeatedly told age related and not much else. Always left dissatisfied with visit. Took a new puppy in, had very negative experience as vet did not seem to like breed of my dog, same as my older dog. Same experience when I took her back for follow up shots. I finally asked receptionist if he didn't like my dog's breed and that is why he was so negative. She denied, he loves that breed. Was hesitant to return but hadn't had time to find new vet and needed to get dog spayed. Forgot to ask price when I scheduled appointment. Did get a reminder call late afternoon the day before that said bring her tomorrow or would be charged for no show. Was there early, going over paperwork and was shocked to see they were going to charge me $750 to spay my dog. I asked if they were kidding - no. Said it would be $75 less if she wasn't in heat and I could forgo $87 charge for blood work. That was still almost $600 for a spay. Said no way, no how was I willing to pay that much. I am willing to pay reasonable amounts but that price was no where near reasonable. Found another vet that will do it for $285, transferring my animals records. I never once left that place with a good feeling from Dr. Evergreen. Started to wonder why he was a vet when he was so negative. I am not an animal "mommy" just someone who does the best I can for my pets. Read Less

My wife and I met with Dr. Evergreen yesterday about our female dog's ongoing diarrhea. Another vet we saw last week said it was likely due to food allergies. Dr. Evergreen dismissed that notion, and correctly diagnosed the symptom as Giardia. In fact he saved us a few bucks by telling us we didn't need to analyze our dog's stool sample. We had submitted a sample the previous week to other vet which ruled out parasites. Dr. Evergreen prescribed a couple meds and a probiotic. Less than 24 hours later, our dog has a firm stool. Dr. also explained vaccinations, what was needed, what really wasn't. Overall, just a wealth of information. We never felt rushed. Just a really nice man. In summary, we would highly recommend Dr. Evergreen and his staff to anyone seeking attentive, honest medical care for their pet. Read Less

TLDR: Incorrect diagnoses leads to unnecessary surgery, and an overall $5,000 bill. Full Story: In 2012, I began taking my pets to Dr. Evergreen in Monroe. At first I liked it, he seemed knowledgable and was nice (even though his bedside manner might leave a little to be desired, I get that that is just some people's personality). He was willing to try a more natural approach to any issues my dog or cat may have, before jumping to modern medicine, and I liked that. However, this past January I took my cat to see him over what I viewed as rather drastic weight loss. His diagnosis was that he needed an ultrasound - to the tune of nearly $500. I don't know about you, but I'm guessing the average person doesn't just have that laying around. So since it was not life threatening, I asked if we could treat for what he thought it was, for a month and I will try to save the money. He was amenable to that, and as it turned out the treatment for both of the possible diagnoses was the same, so we tried it. A little over a week into the treatment, on a Sunday (vet's closed) my cat began acting funny: moaning, yowling and trying to crawl into a dark corner in my bedroom. So, I rushed him to Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital who after a $400 X-Ray and some examination by a vet there, said my cat likely had a tumor blockage in his stomach and would die in 24-48 hours. They gave him pain meds, and fluids and let us take him home to say our goodbyes. I am so thankful that I listened to my gut and did not choose to euthanize him on the spot as this vet implied would be the humane thing to do...I will NEVER take my pets there ever again. We took him home, spent time with him and my husband massaged his distended stomach. The next morning he was FINE. Yes. TOTALLY FINE. He had a somewhat nasty bowel movement and then began acting like his old self. We continued to monitor him all day Monday, and then got him in for an ultrasound with Dr. Evergreen first thing Tuesday morning after sharing with them what had happened over the weekend. Dr. Evergreen depends on another vet, who is mobile with his US equipment and makes his rounds to other vets needing ultrasounds performed on their patients. It is my understanding that Dr. Evergreen is not a certified stenographer and that is the reason for this, however he did assure me that he has experience with looking at ultrasounds and making diagnoses from them. So when he shared with me that BOTH he and the other vet agreed on the diagnosis for my cat, I trusted his judgement. He shared that it was his belief that my cat had a case of GDV. For those of you who know what that is, you may already be confused. Because GDV, also known as Bloat, usually occurs in large breed, barrel chested dogs - is very rare in medium to small sized dogs, and is unheard of in cats. Nevertheless, this was his diagnosis and he suggested I rush my cat over to Seattle Veterinary Specialists in Kirkland for immediate surgery as GDV is a time sensitive, life threatening condition with an extremely high mortality rate (which we found out the hard way this past weekend when our German Shepherd died from it suddenly, despite having him on the operating table in under 2 hours since noticing his symptoms). Given that our pets are family, I did exactly this...with a 5 month old who hadn't eaten or napped yet, in tow. They got him into examination, and then into surgery ASAP - and now I know why they looked at me like I was nuts because I was freaking out that my cat would die if they waited for all the records to be transferred, including the ultrasound results...because GDV was nearly impossible in cats. The surgeon cut my cat open and found that he did NOT have GDV, nor had he ever had GDV. The biopsy revealed a slight amount of inflammation in his intestines and that was it. Leading them to believe that he likely has IBD, which is what I thought all along. This was an egregious misdiagnosis and oversight IMO, and cannot be forgiven. I will never go back, nor will I recommend them to anyone I know. Read Less

I was very impressed by my visit to Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care!!! Dr. Evergreen does not just prescribe meds to cover symptoms. He took the time to find out what my dog's, food, and supplement regimen was like before making a diagnosis. I was surprised to find out that my dog's food may have actually been causing some of his chronic problems. Dr. Evergreen made some excellent suggestions for how to change my dog's life for the better. I was impressed by the way that Dr. Evergreen explained the different options for treatment, but did not pressure me into doing anything unnecessary or harmful. My dog was also very comfortable with Dr. Evergreen, and he normally panics when he goes to the vet. I drove 45 minutes to go to Dr. Evergreen because he was very highly recommended by a coworker. I was not disappointed, and will be back. Read Less

It saddens me to have to write a fairly negative review about this facility.First, I do think Dr. Brad Evergreen is a great vet, and I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness he has given my dogs for the past 2 1/2 years.However, his front-desk staff has significantly gone downhill in the last year or so.  Rude, incompetent, disrespectful.  In one day, it took me 45 minutes to place a simple med renewal because they had a new receptionist.  That was frustrating enough.  But when I hired someone to drive to Monroe l to pick it up, it wasn't there, and they refused to address it that night.  This is something I've done for the past 2 1/2 years -- hired someone to pick up the meds, as their office is almost 40 minutes away.  Because of this error, my dog went without his meds that day, even though I informed the receptionist that I was OUT and I needed to pick it up that day.  When I ordered it, I was told it would be ready by 2 and the messenger arrived at 4:30.  Fortunately it is for thyroid and not too harmful to skip.  But I wonder, as one of my dogs enters his senior years, whether front office staff will keep me from getting the proper care for when there is a much higher risk?  When I brought that up, I was told that I was "silly and ridiculous."  For complete disclosure, the person I sent did mess up and didn't bring my name or my dog's name with her.  However, that information was available online (I hired her through TaskRabbit) and she offered to go to a library, look up the information and return.They refused, told her not to bother, they were NOT going to give her any medications because I hadn't given them the messenger's name.  The fact that the order was missing and no one asked me for her name was irrelevant to them.   I still don't understand why they wouldn't let her return with my name so they could call me and clear it up that night.  .  I have been doing this for 2 1/2 years -- sending a messenger to pick up the meds, and have had no issues.    When I pointed out how it could have been handled better, and my frustration, I was told that there was a new receptionist and therefore I should expect that there would be problems while he learned.   I was chastised for complaining.  I asked that Dr.  Evergreen contact me if he was interested in us remaining his patients and she said to come at 9:30 to pick up the meds and she would make sure he was available to talk to me face-to-face and then she hung up as I was explaining I would not be the person coming and I was trying to give her the information required for the pick-up the next day to go okay.    I left a message with the receptionist and the other front office staff member (the one who was rude and hostile) and Dr. Evergreen never called.  He may not even be aware that his front desk is ruining his reputation.  If I had gone at 9:30, he would have been in surgery.  This front office just doesn't care, is rude and disrespectful of the patients in this practice.  I've had some previous abrupt and snappish encounters with them over the last year, but it hadn't previously cost me so much in time and money, and potentially put my dog at risk before.  Now that it has, and I haven't heard from Dr. Evergreen, I have no other option but to find another vet.As much as I value the care that Dr. Evergreen gave, up to 90% of my interactions with his office is with his front office staff.    I can't risk the health and life of my dogs to his office staff, so I will be switching vets.  Really sad when a great professional's reputation is getting ruined by his staff.

Highly recommend. A friend of mine's dog was diagnosed with bladder stones by another vet in town. Put on meds and special diet dog food. The friend was told the dog would be on the meds and diet for the rest of her life. I recommended a holistic vet for a second opinion. Evergreen told my friend her dog was not drinking enough water. Recommended 1 boullion cube or a quart of broth in 5 gallons of water to encourage the dog to increase her water intake. Her dog is off meds and special diet, no more bladder issues. The friend only had to do once to increase the dog's water intake. Read Less

I really like Dr. Evergreen and his approach to pet care. I brought my rescue kitty in for an initial exam to get set up with a regular vet after we moved to the area, and Dr. Evergreen was very thorough and spent a good amount of time going over my kitty's records, talking to me, observing my cat, and doing a thorough exam. Any time my cat has presented with an issue, Dr. Evergreen has given me a bunch of different options and really included me in choosing the best approach for my cat. Making appointments and getting callbacks have always been quick.I also really appreciated his nutritional knowledge and the focus on holistic healing. I have been very hesitant about continuing my rescue kitty's prescription diet for FLUTD since it seems low quality (especially for the cost!), and he presented me with some good options for high quality foods that would be good for my cat.

We can review in a year and make a different decision. The prices are less than I've paid in years and to have someone listen and address concerns was beyond worth the price.

We have been taking our 5 pets (3 cats & 2 dogs) to Dr. Evergreen for many years. His approach is much more conservative then many other vets we tried & with a focus on quality nutrition for healthy pets. He takes his time to really explain things so you can make informed decisions about how to proceed. I never feel like he is pushing extra services just to make an extra buck. In fact he will often do things to help us keep the costs down. Recently our cat became very ill & even though he was in surgery his front desk talked with him about the problem we were facing with our cat & she immediately called back to rely a message back. Based on what we had described the dr believed our cat was experiencing a life threating issue & urged us to take him right away to an ER vet. Had we waited our little guy would have died. I'm so thankful that even though he was very busy he took the time for us & his gut instincts were right. He stayed connected with the ER vet & took the time to call us at no charge to explain what was happening & what to expect. I've never had a vet go so above & beyond like he did for us & our family. Thank you so much. Read Less

I have visited numerous veterinary clinics with myassortment of pets over the years, and no one compares to the quality and personalized care provided by Dr. Evergreen. I brought in my cat and my dad's 2 cats all at the same time for their yearly check-ups. Dr. Evergreen personally spent around 45 minutes in the room with us, assessing and explaining their health and personal needs. He is extremely knowledgeable of specific animal needs here in the PWN, such as what vaccinations are more necessary than others, what kinds of pests we should treat for, and what nutritional requires the animals needs for their age group. He drew pictures so we better understood what was happening with one of our cat's teeth, and personally called me to review another's normal lab work. Clearly Dr. Evergreen values his patients and their owners, and takes the time to call them personally instead of passing that task on to a tech.

I called Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care and explained the situation going on with our dog who has EPI. (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) Basically no matter how much you feed your dog they will continue to lose weight. We were worried because she has been having some setbacks recently, and was starting to lose a little weight. She was becoming very picky about when she would eat due to some other issues we didnt really know about. Dr. Evergreen figured those other issues out as well. Evergreen Holistic got us an appointment the very next day moving some stuff around to make sure we could be seen as soon as possible. Being used to our old Vet I assumed they would want to run every test they could think of, take a bunch of blood samples, fecal samples and who knows what else. It wasnt anything like that. Dr. Evergreen based on what he was seeing, and what we were telling him, knew what action to take without all the expensive testing. He wasnt out just to make a buck and I really felt like he cared and explained everything in a way that was very easy to understand. We have a game plan and if we need to tweak that plan he already knows what hell do next if need be. They will be our full time Vet from here on out. When I went to pay I was blown away. The visit cost under $100. They spent close to an hour with us! I honestly was expecting hundreds of dollars like Im used to paying. So thankful.

I love Dr. Evergreen he's just what we have been looking for in a vet. We now take all 4 of our animals to see him. He is quite conservative, but I'm one who doesn't like to over medicate my pets. I'm not sure what the other reviews are about with the staff, but I have never had this experience since we have started to take our animals there and it's been over a year now. I will continue to use Dr. Evergreen going forward for all of our pets needs. Read Less

I came into contact with Dr. Evergreen and his staff during at the end of life cycle for our senior cat Spunkie. Through it all they treated us with kindness, concern and compassion. We continued care with Spunkie's litter mate and sister, Smokie. For almost 8 months we were in the office for bi-monthly visits. Every visit we were met with the same smiling, educated, loving faces. Dr. Evergreen always managed to give us an update, offer advice and above all, connect with us as fur baby parents, united in keeping our pet healthy and happy. He was always a calming presence, is efficient and his level of care is top notch. In October we relocated to CA. And while our visits ceased, that high level of care and concern, did not. In a recent moment of need during the passing of our girl Smokie, Dr. Evergreen and his wonderful girls once again provided above average service, concern and care without a second thought. To say that I'm appreciative is an understatement. I can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you Dr. Evergreen and every smiling, helpful, beautiful face behind the desk and the door for always doing your best and always providing top notch veterinary care for our fur babies.

I wanted a holistic vet, knew prices would be higher. Had taken my older dog in several times about concerns, was repeatedly told age related and not much else. Always left dissatisfied with visit. Took a new puppy in, had very negative experience as vet did not seem to like breed of my dog, same as my older dog. Same experience when I took her back for follow up shots. I finally asked receptionist if he didn't like my dog's breed and that is why he was so negative. She denied, he loves that breed. Was hesitant to return but hadn't had time to find new vet and needed to get dog spayed. Forgot to ask price when I scheduled appointment. Did get a reminder call late afternoon the day before that said bring her tomorrow or would be charged for no show. Was there early, going over paperwork and was shocked to see they were going to charge me $750 to spay my dog. I asked if they were kidding - no. Said it would be $75 less if she wasn't in heat and I could forgo $87 charge for blood work. That was still almost $600 for a spay. Said no way, no how was I willing to pay that much. I am willing to pay reasonable amounts but that price was no where near reasonable. Found another vet that will do it for $285, transferring my animals records. I never once left that place with a good feeling from Dr. Evergreen. Started to wonder why he was a vet when he was so negative. I am not an animal "mommy" just someone who does the best I can for my pets. Read Less

My wife and I met with Dr. Evergreen yesterday about our female dog's ongoing diarrhea. Another vet we saw last week said it was likely due to food allergies. Dr. Evergreen dismissed that notion, and correctly diagnosed the symptom as Giardia. In fact he saved us a few bucks by telling us we didn't need to analyze our dog's stool sample. We had submitted a sample the previous week to other vet which ruled out parasites. Dr. Evergreen prescribed a couple meds and a probiotic. Less than 24 hours later, our dog has a firm stool. Dr. also explained vaccinations, what was needed, what really wasn't. Overall, just a wealth of information. We never felt rushed. Just a really nice man. In summary, we would highly recommend Dr. Evergreen and his staff to anyone seeking attentive, honest medical care for their pet. Read Less

TLDR: Incorrect diagnoses leads to unnecessary surgery, and an overall $5,000 bill. Full Story: In 2012, I began taking my pets to Dr. Evergreen in Monroe. At first I liked it, he seemed knowledgable and was nice (even though his bedside manner might leave a little to be desired, I get that that is just some people's personality). He was willing to try a more natural approach to any issues my dog or cat may have, before jumping to modern medicine, and I liked that. However, this past January I took my cat to see him over what I viewed as rather drastic weight loss. His diagnosis was that he needed an ultrasound - to the tune of nearly $500. I don't know about you, but I'm guessing the average person doesn't just have that laying around. So since it was not life threatening, I asked if we could treat for what he thought it was, for a month and I will try to save the money. He was amenable to that, and as it turned out the treatment for both of the possible diagnoses was the same, so we tried it. A little over a week into the treatment, on a Sunday (vet's closed) my cat began acting funny: moaning, yowling and trying to crawl into a dark corner in my bedroom. So, I rushed him to Pilchuck Veterinary Hospital who after a $400 X-Ray and some examination by a vet there, said my cat likely had a tumor blockage in his stomach and would die in 24-48 hours. They gave him pain meds, and fluids and let us take him home to say our goodbyes. I am so thankful that I listened to my gut and did not choose to euthanize him on the spot as this vet implied would be the humane thing to do...I will NEVER take my pets there ever again. We took him home, spent time with him and my husband massaged his distended stomach. The next morning he was FINE. Yes. TOTALLY FINE. He had a somewhat nasty bowel movement and then began acting like his old self. We continued to monitor him all day Monday, and then got him in for an ultrasound with Dr. Evergreen first thing Tuesday morning after sharing with them what had happened over the weekend. Dr. Evergreen depends on another vet, who is mobile with his US equipment and makes his rounds to other vets needing ultrasounds performed on their patients. It is my understanding that Dr. Evergreen is not a certified stenographer and that is the reason for this, however he did assure me that he has experience with looking at ultrasounds and making diagnoses from them. So when he shared with me that BOTH he and the other vet agreed on the diagnosis for my cat, I trusted his judgement. He shared that it was his belief that my cat had a case of GDV. For those of you who know what that is, you may already be confused. Because GDV, also known as Bloat, usually occurs in large breed, barrel chested dogs - is very rare in medium to small sized dogs, and is unheard of in cats. Nevertheless, this was his diagnosis and he suggested I rush my cat over to Seattle Veterinary Specialists in Kirkland for immediate surgery as GDV is a time sensitive, life threatening condition with an extremely high mortality rate (which we found out the hard way this past weekend when our German Shepherd died from it suddenly, despite having him on the operating table in under 2 hours since noticing his symptoms). Given that our pets are family, I did exactly this...with a 5 month old who hadn't eaten or napped yet, in tow. They got him into examination, and then into surgery ASAP - and now I know why they looked at me like I was nuts because I was freaking out that my cat would die if they waited for all the records to be transferred, including the ultrasound results...because GDV was nearly impossible in cats. The surgeon cut my cat open and found that he did NOT have GDV, nor had he ever had GDV. The biopsy revealed a slight amount of inflammation in his intestines and that was it. Leading them to believe that he likely has IBD, which is what I thought all along. This was an egregious misdiagnosis and oversight IMO, and cannot be forgiven. I will never go back, nor will I recommend them to anyone I know. Read Less

I was very impressed by my visit to Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care!!! Dr. Evergreen does not just prescribe meds to cover symptoms. He took the time to find out what my dog's, food, and supplement regimen was like before making a diagnosis. I was surprised to find out that my dog's food may have actually been causing some of his chronic problems. Dr. Evergreen made some excellent suggestions for how to change my dog's life for the better. I was impressed by the way that Dr. Evergreen explained the different options for treatment, but did not pressure me into doing anything unnecessary or harmful. My dog was also very comfortable with Dr. Evergreen, and he normally panics when he goes to the vet. I drove 45 minutes to go to Dr. Evergreen because he was very highly recommended by a coworker. I was not disappointed, and will be back. Read Less

It saddens me to have to write a fairly negative review about this facility.First, I do think Dr. Brad Evergreen is a great vet, and I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness he has given my dogs for the past 2 1/2 years.However, his front-desk staff has significantly gone downhill in the last year or so.  Rude, incompetent, disrespectful.  In one day, it took me 45 minutes to place a simple med renewal because they had a new receptionist.  That was frustrating enough.  But when I hired someone to drive to Monroe l to pick it up, it wasn't there, and they refused to address it that night.  This is something I've done for the past 2 1/2 years -- hired someone to pick up the meds, as their office is almost 40 minutes away.  Because of this error, my dog went without his meds that day, even though I informed the receptionist that I was OUT and I needed to pick it up that day.  When I ordered it, I was told it would be ready by 2 and the messenger arrived at 4:30.  Fortunately it is for thyroid and not too harmful to skip.  But I wonder, as one of my dogs enters his senior years, whether front office staff will keep me from getting the proper care for when there is a much higher risk?  When I brought that up, I was told that I was "silly and ridiculous."  For complete disclosure, the person I sent did mess up and didn't bring my name or my dog's name with her.  However, that information was available online (I hired her through TaskRabbit) and she offered to go to a library, look up the information and return.They refused, told her not to bother, they were NOT going to give her any medications because I hadn't given them the messenger's name.  The fact that the order was missing and no one asked me for her name was irrelevant to them.   I still don't understand why they wouldn't let her return with my name so they could call me and clear it up that night.  .  I have been doing this for 2 1/2 years -- sending a messenger to pick up the meds, and have had no issues.    When I pointed out how it could have been handled better, and my frustration, I was told that there was a new receptionist and therefore I should expect that there would be problems while he learned.   I was chastised for complaining.  I asked that Dr.  Evergreen contact me if he was interested in us remaining his patients and she said to come at 9:30 to pick up the meds and she would make sure he was available to talk to me face-to-face and then she hung up as I was explaining I would not be the person coming and I was trying to give her the information required for the pick-up the next day to go okay.    I left a message with the receptionist and the other front office staff member (the one who was rude and hostile) and Dr. Evergreen never called.  He may not even be aware that his front desk is ruining his reputation.  If I had gone at 9:30, he would have been in surgery.  This front office just doesn't care, is rude and disrespectful of the patients in this practice.  I've had some previous abrupt and snappish encounters with them over the last year, but it hadn't previously cost me so much in time and money, and potentially put my dog at risk before.  Now that it has, and I haven't heard from Dr. Evergreen, I have no other option but to find another vet.As much as I value the care that Dr. Evergreen gave, up to 90% of my interactions with his office is with his front office staff.    I can't risk the health and life of my dogs to his office staff, so I will be switching vets.  Really sad when a great professional's reputation is getting ruined by his staff.
