MVH is the best clinic I have found for my four legged fury children! Dr. Freed is excellent and when my dog was sick and needed care, MVH made me feel like I was their only client. They spoke with me at length on the phone, made follow up calls to check in, and answered all of my questions. Dr. Freed takes the time to talk through all of your questions/concerns and does a great job at explaining things in a way that is easy to understand. I have never felt rushed through a visit - even if I have a lot of questions, they listen and answer them all; again making me feel like their only client. Now that all of my fury children are healthy and happy they only go for their routine visits. The people at the front counter are always friendly and happy to see every animal that walks through the door. The price of the final bill is always a little bit of a shock, and as cheap as I wish the costs were, they are no more expensive than going to Banfield or any other clinic. I have never had any trouble getting an appointment, and most days I call, they are able to see me that same afternoon. Each and every staff there cares for each animal as if it was their own. When my dog was sick, I called first thing in the morning when they opened. I didnt have to wait at all or hope for a cancellation. I was told to bring her in right away and they would see her before surgeries started. When I had to leave her there for the day, I did not hesitate one bit because I knew she was in good hands. I dont think I would take my pets anywhere else! Another reviewer is correct in that sometimes you do have to wait a little longer than desired once you are taken into the exam room. However, this is a small price to pay for the excellent care that I know my pets are receiving. And hey, maybe its because of what I mentioned before...they never make me feel like I am rushed through the exam. They take the time to answer all of your questions and address your concerns.

Always driven by MVH for years -- was in need of new vet (my old one was getting older...not as helpful) so did my google search and found MVH. Gave them a try. Very well worth it. My initial with the office manager (sry..Im bad w names)...he was extremelly professional and knowledgable. Answered all my questions and took time to get me estimates -- and followed thru to see if I got them and had any questions. Took my 5mo kitten to them for exam -- saw Dr Freed. Very professional and caring vet. Answered all my questions and was extremelly gentle with my kitten, especialyl when giving him vaccination. VERY impressed. Staff at front was also very kind and professional. My old vet..many times, id stand there and wait for them to get done dinging around to even acknowledge me. At MVH..greeted right away. (Me and my kitten, "Scamp") Took him back few weeks for declaw, neuter and chip. Dropped off in AM -- expecting to just hand him off...they took me in room, had CVT (Sue I believe) go over everything...gave me info and answered any pre-op questions. She called after precedure to let me know how he was. When I picked him up next day...same thing, answered all my questions -- and Sue called just now to check up on him. Never had a vet call after they had my payment. Price wise also.....theyre slightly more expensive then my old vet (bout 75 dollar diff) -- but not my much. But considering the treatment they gave my kitten AND me.....Im happy as heck to pay what I did. When I told my neighbor the cost for all that...she was shocked. They are def worth the cost. Ive been a cat lover for 20 years and Ive been to several vets. Hands down....Scamp will be going to MVH for life -- no question...as well as my other 2 cats. Thanks MVH. Rob S(and Scamp)

Minnesota Veterinary Hospital (MVH) has been our vet for 15 years. When we got our first dog, someone recommended MVH so we tried it. We liked MVH so much that we continued going there even though there is another vet office much closer to our house. The MVH office is well-run and prices are reasonable. The décor is simple and practical. I’m glad to see the money is being spent to care for the animals rather than for fancy decorations. The office is clean and comfortable, which is all we really need. The staff at MVH is wonderful! The receptionists are helpful and knowledgeable. They serve as liaisons between us and the vets and vet techs, and they keep things running smoothly. The vet techs are skilled animal-handlers. They treat my dogs in a gentle, yet matter-of-fact way that reassures my dogs (and me). I always feel comfortable leaving my dogs in their care. They always follow-up after an appointment to make sure treatment plans are working and to answer any questions. The vets are practical, professional, and kind. They answer all our questions and clearly explain the options for medical care. In addition, they understand our values, and help us make choices that fit with our philosophy about animals. Everyone is compassionate and respectful toward animals and people. They are an amazing group! We are looking forward to many more years of working with everyone at MVH with our new dog, Riley.

We have been taking our "kids" to Minnesota Veterinary Hospital for well over 10 years now and have nothing but the highest accolades for the people who work there and the suberb care they have always given our pets! The customer service is second to none- Jeff and Sandra are exceptional ! and the care and professionalism of all staff shows you makes you feel your beloved pet is getting the utmost of care from the minute you make your appointment to the time you enter the building for your visit. They also have boarding facilities which are affordable, a website that enables you to view your pets medical records and keep up to date on upcoming services needed and allows you to order food and meds with ease. Dr. Suzy and Dr. Amy always take the time to address your questions and concerns- explaining all procedures, tests and medical options and have even been known to follow up with us after some of our visits to check back and make sure our pets have been recovering and are okay. I would HIGHLY recommend MN Vet Hospital - THANKS for all you do !!!

We recently brought our black lab mix to MN Vet Hospital for an emergency surgery. Needless to say, we were very worried and stressed out about the well being of our dog. The staff did an amazing job calming my nerves and allowing me to speak directly with Dr. Kate about the issues we were having. Dr. Kate is one of the best in the business!! Jeff, the administrator, will accommodate a clients needs in any way possible. The prices are unbeatable, the staff is compassionate, and Dr. Kate will do whatever is needed (without running unnecessary tests to increase your bill) to ensure your pet has the quality care he/she deserves! I would HIGHLY recommend MVH to ALL pet owners!!! What a world of difference from previous experiences!
