    Ginger just after her overnight stay in the hospital!
    Guy H.

    Dr. Allen Coffman and staff are extrodinary! My dog Ginger has once again been " cured" by their in depth knowledge,pleasant manner and organized operation. In an era of boutique pet hospitals and treatments with prices to match, Dr Coffman gets it done the old fashioned way. My experience with sick animals goes back decades including livestock of all types,dogs,cats,birds,etc. As a result I've seen many different approaches to " Doctoring Animals". These guys get it done! Don't hesitate to give them a try. Tell them Ginger sent you!

    I was referred to this hospital by 3 people and specifically Dr. Coffman, when I called to book they got me in the next day at 11am. Wait time wasn't bad at all. My 12 year old chihuahua was very much due for a dental and since we were new clients, she was booked for an initial exam. I also wanted to do a full blood panel first due to her age, so the technician took her to get that done and brought her back within 2 minutes. I thought the results would take a day or two but to my surprise the doctor walked in and had them in his hand. Dr. Coffman went over every single result in depth and said everything looked great to do the dental same day. I wasn't expecting that but he said he could squeeze her in and she would be ready for pick up with in 2 hours. I had also asked if he could do X-rays before hand (not included with dental cleaning). This experience was over the top and exceeded my expectations!!!! When I picked her up, the doctor went over the X-rays with me and showed me a video he took during the dental to explain why he had to extract some teeth. I promise you, you will not find any other vet with such affordable prices AND amazing handling and care for your pet. The service they provided and flexibility they had was absolutely great, if it would have came down to it, I honestly wouldn't have cared to pay a thousand dollars. I'm also normally a nervous wreck when it comes to taking my dog to a new vet due to her age, but I felt so at ease leaving her there because the staff were great from the moment I got there. Dr Coffman has been in practice for 28 years and when I tell you he went over every single thing for me from start to finish, not many vets take the time to do that and I admired that. My little girl came out tail wagging and a little sleepy, ate some food later on that day and slept like a baby. I also want to thank the receptionist and technicians for being amazing, so welcoming, and so kind, what an amazing team this hospital has!!!! Thank you guys, we have officially found our new vet and I am so thankful. Also, I loved the home-y feeling I got from this clinic, nothing fancy and they had giant bird cages with beautiful birds and a glass case of some really cool tools/medicine from the past.

    I drop my dog off to be kenneled on Thursday evening. What I have been doing is calling daily to check on him. I have been a CONSISTENT customer since 2004. No other vet office has cared for any of my animals. I have also referred many to this office. Today I called and it took me 23 minutes to get someone on the phone to advise me of my dogs status. This gave me instant anxiety Janessa answered the phone and immediately advised me that he was doing good but they had an incident. Incident? Yes, my dog has been aggressively trying to get to other dogs and dislocated the shoulder of a worker? Huh? Oh Wowwwww. My dog weighs 78 lbs. A stocky 78, so I ask how large was the worker, thinking that maybe it was a petite person. I was advised that it was beside the point, my dog is aggressive and they will attempt to keep him away from the other dogs. I couldn't ask about the worker becI immediately became upset with the tone and the language that I was being fed. My dog is not vicious, now I'm worried about how he will be treated until Tuesday and I am am three states over at a Memorial Service and can't get back before they close. I am so upset that I have a headache and my blood pressure has increased. Loyalty, professionalism and common courtesy doesn't seem to matter anymore. I am done. Things aren't the same since Dr. Overton retired.

    I was referred to Dr. Overton after having had a awful experience at Stone brook Family Vet Clinic. I called them and was able to schedule a visit that same day but I scheduled it the next day to give my cat some time to mentally recover. Upon entering, we checked in and sat down. I love how there's bird cages in the waiting room. My cat found it very entertaining. However, he does not like dogs so we waited outside. We waited about 10 minutes before being called into a room. It was a small room but it had a bench with a soft blanket on it. How thoughtful. I kind of came in there advising them of what they need to do given my cats recent experience. I warned them he might become aggressive because he's scared and hurt. I asked them what their protocol was for handling aggressive pets. I asked them a lot of questions to which they answered them all and even comforted me because it was clear I was anxious about this. Meanwhile, my cat was already getting angry so I put him in his carrier and he pooped in it. They said I'd have to come back in an hour as their x-ray machines are being used. I was a little anxious but eventually agreed. An hour later, we get a call that he's ready! Dr. Yu did a great job explaining everything to me and answering all of my questions. They even cleaned him! I had a great experience.

    They were super nice here, i had all 3 of my dogs here for the first time and they were super helpful and knowledgeable. I felt like i had to wait awhile but you never know what was wrong with the animals before you. Really liked the vet!!!

    I've been a customer for over 30 years! There is something to be said for that. When I first started going here it was only Dr Overton. When we first started with AVH, Overton would make house calls! We first met him when he came to our house in the country to give a shot to one of our dogs that had distemper. Fast forward 30 years later and Overton is a consultant for the business and the place is still serving the community. My son has several dogs and he drives quite a distance to get the dogs treated here at AVH. His 95 lbs husky/wolf has had an issue with his tail. After lengthy treatment of trying to save the tail it required amputation. Dr Shiplov has treated multiple family dogs and once again he was here for us. He's a great vet and has always done our family right. I was expecting a $800 plus bill! What a surprise when the bill was less then $400. This included a teeth cleaning too! I will continue to frequent this establishment as long as I continue to have critters! 2018/05

I've had MANY pets, - dogs, bearded dragons, goats, donkeys, they have always helped me with all of them. But it was a most recent horrible decision I had to make to put one of my dog babies to sleep that will ALWAYS stand out as the most important I have ever had with Allen Animal Clinic, specifically with Dr. Balie White. I've known Dr. White through this clinic for about 15 years. Jagger was 14 years old and was having many problems, but the worst were with his legs and calluses on his elbows. Dr. White always helped Jagger (and me) with competency, kindness and compassion that you need for your pets. But It was during her visit to my home on the last day of Jaggers life that I will remember with affection and gratefulness forever. Dr. White was compassionate, considerate, loving and caring to my baby and she really helped ME during this awful time by taking her time to just make a bad situation not as bad. There is nothing that can take away the pain of losing a beloved pet and family member but having someone who really does care makes ALL THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD! Thank you, Dr. White, I am forever grateful for you.

It's the kind of day you never forget, and honestly, one you don't know how you'll get through. We chose Parker Animal & Bird Hospital in Plano, and I can't say enough about how incredible the entire experience was, given the circumstances. From the moment we walked in, the staff treated us with a level of kindness, patience, and empathy that felt genuine--not forced. Every person we interacted with understood exactly what we were going through and gave us the space and support we needed. What really stood out was the veterinarian. You know they deal with situations like this day in and day out, which can sometimes make people assume it becomes routine--but that couldn't be further from the case here. The compassion, the time they took to walk us through everything, and the way they honored Lovie in those final moments was something we'll never forget. They didn't rush us. They didn't make it feel clinical. They made it feel human. If you're looking for a vet in the Plano area, or if you're unfortunately facing a situation like this with a pet you love, I would fully recommend Parker Animal & Bird Hospital without hesitation. When it matters most, you want a team that shows up the right way--and they absolutely do. We're grateful we had them in that moment. Billy & Karen

Everyone seemed very eager to help and made th process smoothe. We liked the open concept because we were able to see the care provided not only to our dog but to the other pets as well. All of the staff worked as such a great team, and the communication between them seemed flawless. We were seen by Dr. Majors, and our tech was Hannah. Both of them were very reassuring and treated Florence like their own. VEG is a very pet family oriented vet, seeing us as a whole and not just a couple people with an animal. When it came time for the price, we were met with such nice transparency, and the DVM was honest with what she recommended and did not try to make us agree to anything that was unnecessary while also making sure we had the option to take all the tests if we so desired. I would absolutely recommend this emergency vet. We have been to another in Carrollton which did not come close to the level of care we experienced here. Thank you!

No answers! They threw a bill in my face before even discussing a plan! I had to pay in advance for treatments that hadn't been done and didn't even start for about an hour into the visit!

At the end of my 1,500 visit I had more concerns for my kitty than I did before I even walked in the door.

I would never recommend this hospital even if it was the last place on earth! Update: Two days later. Called and spoke to Cheyenne about our experience. Felt heard, felt compassion and felt true concern about myself and my kitty. She advised she would call me back. Instead Dr. Hoge called me back and was very apologetic and showed a great deal of concern for our experience. I believe that the team we had this horrific encounter with creates a bad name for this ER and for the veterinary field as a whole. I appreciate the sincere apology I received by management and wanted to add that to my review. They both showed care and compassion and that is what it's all about. If I had walked in the door when they were there I would have had a totally different visit and my kitty would have been taken care of! They are what makes veterinary practice great!
