Let me begin by saying, there are two veterinarians there that are very knowledgeable, nice, and caring. Although, I must say that the regular veterinarian is unhelpful, uncaring, and unpleasant. Me and my wife went to take our two small dogs for a routine checkup and also to ask some questions. Recently they have started to show allergic reactions to something, so we felt the need to take them to get checked up. We took them both at the same time, on the same day to get checked for the same problems and for each to get a routine shot. We had left within 10 minutes of seeing the doctor, and had been charged for two checkups. We would have been fine paying the extra for two checkups if we had left feeling liked we had been helped. He was not gentle with our dogs and all our questions were brushed away. We asked him why our dogs would be coughing, and he responded with a usual "probably this" answer instead of trying to find what was wrong with them. Instead he went on to give them their shots, which he had to stab our one dog (the more nervous one) twice to get the correct placement, he even said it was "bad technique". The most helpful he was, was how he told us that their hearts sounded healthy, which is great, just not at all what we came in concerned about. Instead, we were charged twice for what time is probably less than a usual check up for one dog. Not to mention we were charge a huge amount for a heart check and two shots. To sum it up, instead of leaving knowing how to help our pets be healthy, we are leaving knowing we will never be returning. Its unfortunate because of how much we enjoyed the other two veterinarians, our schedules just didnt agree with theirs.

They used to be wonderful but not so much anymore. Their prices are still pretty reasonable for office visits and XRays and they generally didnt push unnecessary procedures (at least they didnt used to). If you can see Dr. Ally I would definitely choose her, she is compassionate with both owner and dog and really cares. My issue now with the practice is the fact that they have apparently started using contract vets in addition to the regular vets. Plus there can be some uncertainty over who exactly you will see when you get there. I do NOT like contract vets as Ive never had any confidence in their skills (spoken from experience I assure you) and have switched to KVET Animal Care instead.

Ive been going to this vet for years for both cats and dogs. Ive noticed in recent years the level of care has decreased, especially with one blonde, female employee who works the front desk and assists with the animals when needed. She has little compassion for you or your animal and when you call to ask a question, its almost like youre burdening her. Im really considering switching vets because of this employee. It is the last place a person with no compassion should be working.

I took both my dogs to Donaldson for years. Both of them got fantastic care and the vets were so good with my females. The vet, a female...I cant recall her name now, but she had such a wonderful personality with me and both dogs. My dogs actually got excited when I told them "Lets go see the doctor". I highly recommend this Vet to everyone!!
