What recent reviews say

Patients drive 40+ miles round-trip to see named vets here. Staff defuse anxious pets with patience and creativity, explain every step, and treat owners as partners rather than processing through a checklist. Dr. Paige, Dr. Cara, Dr. Ross, Dr. Tony, and Dr. Drew are praised individually for genuine care and avoiding unnecessary upsells.

One recent loss revealed gaps: a dog with critical bloodwork indicators (severe anemia, urinalysis red flags) did not receive urgent follow-up or even a check-in call after the owner's pet died weeks later. While isolated in the data, it underscores that quality of care can vary by veterinarian or circumstance.

Best for: Owners of anxious, reactive, or senior dogs who value named vet relationships and personalized attention over corporate efficiency.

Think twice if: Critical bloodwork results may not trigger urgent follow-up; owners of geriatric pets with complex conditions should confirm diagnostic urgency protocols.

Strengths

Named vets with strong individual reputations (Dr. Cara, Dr. Ross, Dr. Paige, Dr. Tony, Dr. Drew)

Foothills Animal Hospital

4.8(421)✓ Verified

Over two decades, many owners have relied on Foothills for wellness and surgery. Dr. Jen and Dr. Miller earn repeated praise for listening carefully, explaining treatment without pressure, and treating anxious pets with genuine patience. One recurring complaint: the front desk staff, particularly Jessica, sometimes responds dismissively or rudely to customers with injured dogs or urgent questions. The hospital offers dental work, orthopedic surgery, acupuncture, and in-house labs. Pricing is described as fair. Long-term clients credit Dr. Liehr and Praise Harmony (front desk/staff) for kindness, though recent reviews note the office lost some warmth after Dr. Rodger departed. Most visitors find the whole team compassionate and attentive.

Kipling Veterinary Hospital and Wellness Center

Dr. O'Connell and Dr. MacKenzie earn strong praise for gentle, attentive care and clear communication, particularly with anxious pets and complex cases. However, owners consistently report steep pricing without upfront breakdown, occasional rude front desk interactions, and concerns about clinical decision-making in urgent situations.

Evolution Veterinary Specialty and Emergency Hospital

4.0(962)✓ Verified

Evolution offers advanced specialty care, cardiology, surgery, and internal medicine under one roof, with some staff delivering genuine compassion through complex cases. However, experiences sharply divide: strong clinical expertise and end-of-life sensitivity clash with reports of dismissive triage staff, waits exceeding three hours without notice, medication errors, and billing practices that leave families questioning whether profit outweighs pet welfare. The hospital excels when continuity of care matters most, especially through terminal illness. Yet repeated complaints centre on triage interactions, poor handoffs between departments, delayed diagnostics, and a high-pressure emergency billing model that can obscure what procedures are necessary versus recommended.
