EDIT: Posted this review on Yelp, and it has been removed. My experience at A Healing Vet was nothing short of unprofessional, upsetting and completely unacceptable. I came to get my puppys last set of shots per my regular family vet, which is 30+ minutes away. In an effort to save time and an exam fee I went to A Healing Vet and regretted it almost immediately. My puppy had an accident on the floor after 15 minutes of waiting for my appointment. When I apologized and asked Dr. Connor for something to clean it up with she asked me to take the puppy outside. When I said she didnt need to go outside as she had just pottied (unfortunately on the floor, but hey, shes a puppy) the doctor insisted that we leave for a bit. Well, okay then. I was uncomfortable and embarrassed that my puppy pottied and would have expected more understanding from someone in the vet field. Ten minutes later she was still cleaning up the accident but after we came in stood in the lobby for several more minutes she finally finished and the appointment began. She then spent another 15 minutes looking at and misreading my booklet of vaccinations. When I mentioned something my last vet said in terms of my puppys vaccination schedule she actually yelled at me to "take her there if you like them so much" and that "who is she to argue when shes just trying to help" and that "she didnt really care what I did." I was completely taken aback by her behavior and honestly I should have just run at that point but I had already committed 30 minutes to this appointment and wanted to stick it out. The appointment went on with Dr. Connor examining my puppy, holding her down while she squirmed with no treats offered or anything. She did speak nicely to her and said how cute she was but she didnt take her temperature or weigh her as they usually do at my family vet. As we spoke about things (I was uncomfortable with paying anything to this clinic at this point so I decided against doing shots at Healing Vet) I was playing and petting with the pup, who was still on the exam table. As she licked and mouthed my hand (once) Dr. Connor grabbed her mouth, closed it shut firmly and said "NO BITE". I was completely enraged and mortified by this. Puppy was crying and clearly uncomfortable and I was upset- we never do negative reinforcement with her, especially at the vet and when being looked at in a strange place and are okay with mouthing at this point because we are wanting to teach her a soft mouth, which shes been improving with. Dr. Connor didnt seem at all bothered by this and went on to talk about flea treatments and training her horses not to bite as I got my puppy off the table and left the clinic. I would not recommend this place to absolutely anyone and more than that, ask that no one support this business. I will absolutely never be back and advise you to do the same. My puppy is thankfully fine and doesnt seem traumatized by this visit, but did have a bloody knick on her tongue from having her mouth clamped shut.

Dr. Connor is amazing. She has regular hours on the weekend, which is incredibly helpful. Were busy people and knowing that shes available on weekends is a huge relief, especially when we brought our kitty to her for the first time. He was very sick and we had no idea what was wrong. At the time, we hadnt found a vet yet. We brought our male, orange kitty to her and she immediately figured out what was wrong and how she could fix it, for the most reasonable cost. Ive always associated going to the vet with bad feelings and bad news, but Dr. Connor has changed that! We look forward to going to the vet, because we can be confident that Milo is getting the best care. Dr. Connor is honest about costs, and about how necessary procedures are. Shes a very smart woman, and has a great way with animals and humans. She treats the animals with firm but loving hands. Her cookies are great, and so is she. Shes the best vet Ive ever worked with. Even through were moving out of the area, were still going to bring Milo to see Dr. Connor. Shes worth the drive from the East side.

I recently found Dr Conner at A Healing Vet while doing research on the internet. I have good instincts and I appreciate the reviews, they helped. I was not at all disappointed, My new little rescue dog just came to me from Calif and I wanted him checked out. He was treated very gently and his needs were explained to me. He had developed a cough, I took him to Dr Conner again the next day. She wanted to try antibiotics even tho I was concerned he may have something stuck in his throat. She made it easy for me to trust her to give him antibiotics and she was right, that was yesterday and he is already much better today. Hasnt coughed for several hours. It is obvious that she really cares for the animals and this is her chosen craft, not just a business. Her prices are reasonable and as a senior, that is very important to me. She will be my dog Nokis vet for sure. Compassion and being in tune to the animals is a gift. Dr Conner has both. Friendly staff too.

Ive been bringing my cats here for well over a year now, and Ill say this much immediately; you can ignore any of the bad reviews youre reading here. One cat, with kidney stones, literally had to come in every 3 weeks for a shot for the past 6 months. I say this so you can know that I am very familiar with Doctor Conner at this point, and have been in this office probably 20 plus times. Doctor Conner also just did the surgery we needed yesterday, and for less of a price than the low price she quoted me originally. Worth also noting, she has worked with me SEVERAL times that I did not have the money, or enough money for treatment. Doctor Conners first and foremost priority is the animals themselves, a fantastic quality for a vet. Her work follows this mantra, always. Simply put, you will not find a better, and more caring, and more reasonable vet in this area. I guarantee it. Doctor Conner, thank you. You have a life-long customer in myself.

I accidentally found Dr. Conner when looking for a local Acupuncturist. Although she was able and versed in acupuncture she was busy but handed me a book to read while she was finishing up and asked me to read it and that we would discuss. She offered me another option which turned out to be the best thing for my dog. I have 6 dogs and all of them go to Dr. Conner. She is a very caring, knowledgable and a wonderful vet. My dogs dont shake but we go out to potty and then they trot in and are happy to see Dr. Conner and all of her staff. They have no fear at all any more and are treated as she would treat her own animals. We will NEVER go anywhere else! It is nice to have an affordable prices as well as a vet who isnt there M-F only and works when I have time away from work to take my guys into her. SHE IS AWESOME!
