We moved from Houston to Seattle 2 years ago now, and since we moved we have been taking our two dogs (a Beagle and a Terrier-mix) to this vet. The staff has been friendly every time we have gone and are pretty good about squeezing you in with little notice, which is generally the case for me. The nurses and doctors treat the animals great and try to make the experience as pleasant as possible for the dogs. Their pricing is similar to other vet's I've been to... not really too much more or less. They seem pretty good though about not doing excessive tests or things that run up the bill. The times when our dogs have needed to go in they do a good job of balancing the cost vs. good care for the animals. They also do a good job of explaining and laying out options when there are any. read more

I recently got an 8-week old Golden Retriever puppy, and scheduled her initial vet visit with Aurora due to how close it is to my apartment on Greenlake and the stellar reviews here. I'm so glad I picked them to take care of my pets! There was no wait time and the exam room was incredibly clean and maintained. We had Dr. Newton, and I loved her so much! The first thing she did when she came in the room was sit down on the floor and let Rosie check her out for 10 minutes. I really appreciated this, as you could tell she wanted my puppy to feel comfortable and at ease, and that she genuinely cares about the animals that visit. Plus, she was very friendly and knowledgeable, and even gave me a big list of dog trainers (with her top picks) for when we put Rosie into obedience classes. When Rosie got her shot Dr. Newton had her relaxed and eating a little bowl of food and my puppy didn't even notice the shot at all, she was so absorbed in the snacks! It seems like a simple thing but this is the stuff that differentiates a mediocre vet from a great one. We'll be bringing my cat here too for her next exam - so happy we found Aurora Vets! read more

My kitty's tooth fell out. He ate fine, seemed perfectly normal, but that tooth had mysteriously disappeared. We took him to see Dr. Lara Kreyenhagen at Aurora Veterinary Hospital and made our choice based on the Yelp reviews. Dr. K was very thorough and kind and sweet to Ivan and he was quite relaxed with her. She determined that the tooth had indeed just fallen out, probably due to a gingivitis-pocket or something, and the gums had closed back over very quickly. Because Ivan had no pain or swelling, redness...etc, she said she didn't think it would ever be an issue and that he was very healthy. When i asked about water additives to keep his teeth healthy, she mentioned thatsome OTC additives didn't have the best ingredient ( the one they had there did.) Since I already had some at home, she wrote down the active ingredient in the one they recommended there and said I should take it home and compare before I bought a bottle at the vet. Bottom line- really appreciated the care with which my pet was treated and the way the Dr. didn't try to stick me with excessive costs. I paid $55 for the visit and was really happy. The last reviewer says she saw cheaper places on Yelp, but I think $55 is pretty darn good for a check-up. As another reviewer said-don't be put off by the shabby outside... the people inside are great and it's a nice clean place. read more

When we adopted our adorable little dog bodhi last year we turned to yelp to decide on a vet. We figured yelp rarely let us down before and I kinda need reassurance when making major life decisions and all the great reviews for Aurora Veterinary helped to point me in the right direction. Our dog has been adopted multiple times, so I would imagine he has a fear of vets because he thinks he is being given up again. So naturally he is scared, and cries and pees everywhere whenever we take him to te vet(or even the groomer, for that matter). Everyone at Aurora Veterinary though are very kind and patient with him, even putting up with the massive amout f fur he sheds. Our most recent visit was with Dr. Bernstein, who is fantastic! He was patient and explained everything and listened to him and didn't say we needed extra tests or medication. He was also very quick. We got into our appt early, and he did a great job of taking care of our sick little boy when he needed to stay for a urinalysis. He called us promptly when he was ready to go home and they called the next day to check up on him and tell us more about the results of his tests. Sure they are my only experience with a vet here in Seattle, but i have no reason to ever go to a different one! read more

Dr. Sowell is awesome! I feel like he never orders unnecessary tests and takes it one step at a time. read more

Aurora Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I have to say I pretty much never give out 5 star ratings, but the folks at Aurora Vet Hospital show that they really care about your animal, cat or dog. They also didn't nickel and dime us for the services that we went in for, or didn't need in the first place, and let us know what to expect, and when the best time to come back in would be. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an honest vet. read more

I took my dog here for a regular exam and to have a lump checked out. I called on a Tuesday morning and got an appointment for Thursday afternoon. Other reviewers have complained about the lack of immediate availability for emergencies. While I was there, a woman brought her dog in for an unknown paw injury without an appointment or calling ahead, and they would not see her that minute, but offered her an appointment for about two and a half hours later. Considering they are a smaller facility and the dog wasn't in grave danger, I thought that was fair. It is not the shiniest or fanciest animal hospital you will visit, and Aurora is not the greatest neighborhood, but the friendliness of the staff and Dr. Newton was top notch. When it came time to take the dog to the mysterious part of the hospital behind the exam room, they welcomed me to join so I could see exactly what was being done. No vet I have visited before has allowed that, and it always left me wondering "what on earth are they doing back there" when my dog came running back with the expression "never leave me again!" The doctor was very patient and sure to answer all my questions, and made a big effort to soothe the slightly nervous canine patient. They didn't try selling me anything, and the exam fee was really reasonable. There are other animal hospitals closer to my home (across the street, actually), but this will be my regular care vet while we live in Seattle. read more

After experiencing a few too many lukewarm visits from my previous vet, I decided to take my senior cat to Aurora Veterinary based on the glowing reviews from fellow Yelpers. Arrived for her check up and was pleasantly surprised by two separate entrances: dogs and cats! The front desk area serves as a divider, but it's all connected in the same space. (Nice lil reassurance for scaredy cats). The ladies working the front desk were very friendly and professional with my check-in paperwork. Dr. Lisa Newton came in immediately to the exam room after I entered (WHOA)! G'ness, I didn't even have to wait or forced to browse a tattered Feline magazine from 2006. Dr. Lisa did the whole exam, and she was so sweet and delighted to interact with my cat. Hold the press! A vet who loves pets, isn't disgruntled, and adores your pet like its her own? You bet! (I wanted to ask her if she was a unicorn). Got blood work done, and was told they would call me the next day with results. Low and behold, Dr. Lisa did exactly that. Left me a very detailed message, explaining everything and what my options were. She didn't push for extra tests and lab work that wasn't necessary. That kind of service should be expected, but it's rare when it does happen. Ample parking space, yes it is on Aurora, near the crackish 85th street and by the creepy motels that should have burned down a decade ago. But hey, the vet office isn't open late night so it shouldn't be a problem. read more

These guys know greyhounds! We've been coming to Aurora Veterinary Hospital since we adopted our first greyhound in 2008. Since greys and anesthesia can be a scary combination, it is essential that we find a place where the doctors are all well-versed in how to handle greys specifically. Every time we come in (LOVE the separate cat and dog entrances, especially with three high-prey-drive dogs) we are always attended to quickly and everyone here is friendly. The doctors are caring and take the time to answer all of your (sometimes silly) questions, and make sure to put your pet at ease. read more

We started going to Dr. Sowell about 8 months ago after a "merciless" response from our old vet in Mercer Island. Dr. Sowell has been compassionate, attentive, responsive, and our dog loves him. He has literally altered the course if our dogs life and for that we are forever grateful. We cannot be happier. Except, of course, if the office wasn't on Aurora. read more

Time and time again AVH never lets me down. Anytime I have any questions about what to feed my dog, when I should switch food, wondering why he wipes his face on the floor after eating...they always have precise and knowledgeable answers. They are always willing to answer any questions and if they don't know the answer they leave a message for the Vet to call me back. I truly do appreciate having such a wonderful staff at AVH that can help guide me through the puppy years with my sweet Mochi. Thank you for everything. read more

Couldn't love them more. We've been seeing Dr. Lisa pretty regularly now (only started specifying a vet because the new dog gets very scared but is less so around women). She answers all our questions, discusses all our issues, and when I recently got their teeth cleaned called me 3 times with updates and to discuss what they found. I love that I don't at all feel rushed with spending time with the Dr. The new dog needs some social rehabilitation (i.e. we're very kind to her and she's getting less fearful pretty quickly but she doesn't act politely all the time), and the staff are very sweet and kind to her. read more

After a mad dash from work to home to car to vet, I didn't think I'd make it to Aurora Veterinary Hospital before they closed at 6pm. The Foo was at home, antsy, having gone without his super-special Catkins diet (Hills MD for diabetic cats) for nigh on two meals. I rolled in at about 6:04, and one of the veterinary assistants left his motorcycle running in the parking lot and came back in to get the cat food for me. Yay! I've been to many vets and they have the best staff I've ever dealt with. Dr. Bernstein has taken very good care of my kitty through a few close calls, and like another reviewer said, they call and follow up (which really impressed The Foo). read more

I've been taking my pets here for almost 10 years (including four different cats and a dog). I even continued to go here for the past 6 years despite it no longer being anywhere near where I live. Hopefully that tells you something. I've always gotten good care, feel like they remember me (or at least my pets) and haven't ever felt like the recommended anything useless or unnecessary. We usually just take our pets here for their annual visits, but we've also had our dog spayed here, they've clipped our oh-so-compliant cat's nails for us and helped us diagnose some persistent GI problems with our dog. One thing to note is that they have a separate cat and dog entrance (separated by the staff desk in the middle), which is nice, and there are several (3?) different vets on staff, which is nice when you're in a rush or need a specific time. Prices also seem reasonable, from what I can tell (haven't done a ton of comparison shopping), and there's plenty of parking (complaints I've heard about some other vets in Seattle). Whenever we've had an urgent situation, we've been able to get same day appointments or good advice over the phone. For emergency care I'd recommend Emerald City Emergency Clinic on Stone way, but for everything else Aurora Veterinary Hospital is great. read more

I'll write a review about the AVH because I loved it so much, even though we don't go there regularly anymore since my boyfriend works for a daycare that has a vet. My two cats have both been seen here and I absolutely loved the care they got. My boy, Clarence, was very, very ill one time, having escaped the house, probably gotten into a brawl up the street, and had his ass literally kicked. This left him with a wound near his tail that I didn't notice until the night he was so lethargic and feverish that when I picked him up he just went limp in my arms, freaking me right the eff out. I got him in there first thing in the morning, Dr. Bernstein was very comforting to me even as he told me that Clarence's fever was very high and had me sign a release acknowledging his touch-and-go status with the surgery he was about to have. All the staff there were very sweet while I basically lost it in the reception area. They were not impatient with my calls for updates, they calmed me by reminding me that cats are resilient and that I was not a bad cat mom, and I knew that he was in absolutely wonderful hands. Once I have a job again (I'm a full-time student and poor as hay-ell) I will likely return my cats to their ongoing care. Highly recommended. read more

Now how an indoor cat gets fleas is beyond me, but Mogilny did! (the name of my favorite hockey player if you are thinking to yourself 'what kind of name is Mogilny?' I called Kelly on a Friday morning as our cat had little scabs and we treated for fleas 2 weeks ago and she got us in 2.5 hours later. When we arrived we were almost immediately placed in a waiting room. The vet tech's were very nice and took his weight and couldn't get over how handsome Mogilny was (he takes after his father) - although the vet told us he needed to lose a bit of weight (he takes after his father) Anyway, Casey (the vet) was extremely helpful, polite, respectful, and compassionate. The price was $55 for the visit and we decided to get a flea comb and $31 flea meds but he didn't push any purchases or products. It was nice as he was more concerned with taking the proper course of action rather than selling products. Would recommend this place to anyone in Seattle who needs to go to the vet to take care of your little one! read more

This is a vet hospital where you don't even ask for a specific vet because all of them are so good. I have a crazy Wheaten Terrier and she is so anxious, nervous and a pain to examine for any vet. But, Aurora vets are gentle, concerned, careful and considerate. Their front desk staff are always so accommodating and I have felt valued as a patient (or the "mom" of a patient). I really appreciate the back-offove techs too. There's this guy, Scott, who is this gentle giant of a guy and he is such a calming influence on my dog. You sometimes take it for granted that the doctors are the heroes - but the back-of-the-house folks are great too. We switched vets years ago and I have never been disappointed. I highly recommend this practice. Thanks Aurora Vet! The only recommendation: a bigger "potty area" for the dogs - maybe at the front of the property? read more

I just want to re-affirm my love for this vet. We have now been going here for almost a year and every visit is just great. One of my dogs, Bowser, had a bladder infection and Dr Berinstein helped every step of the way. He helped diagnose with xrays and an ultrasound, and always made sure that we were doing the cheapest AND most effective treatment for the dog. He never tried to over sell us, and if one of the treatments didn't work (xray was inconclusive since Bowser couldn't keep pee in long enough to look at the bladder) he didn't charge us. Bowser is all better now and didn't even have to have surgery. It was a great experience, and we will definitely keep going back! read more

The two furry roommates have been coming here ever since they were tiny kittens fresh from a Humane Society foster parent (now they're giant!), and I've never had a problem with these guys. The staff I've interacted with were all polite and friendly. I'd definitely recommend this clinic to anyone in the area who's looking for a vet who specializes in cats. I'm definitely surprised that nobody's written a review already, to be honest. The cats have gone in for shots, annuals, and the occasional claw trim until I got more confident in my cat-wrangling skills -- and I haven't had any complaints. The prices seem fairly reasonable, but again, neither cat has had any health problems (long may that continue!). They have separate doors and waiting areas for dogs and cats, which is great, and their parking lot is easy to find -- but as they're right on the west side of Aurora Ave, it's better to get off early and use side roads since you can't turn left right into their parking lot from Aurora. read more

They've become our Vet of Record and I could not be more pleased with them! The staff is attentive and always makes me feel like I have the most beautiful, smartest cats in all the land. It's nice that they realize this. ;) The vets are very knowledgable and thorough--they understand that their clients are people AND pets. I'm extremely happy with their work. read more

So I have a very dear-to-my-heart bratty kitty that I took in for an annual check up. I called to schedule a new patient (I guess in the vet world she's a patient) and was greeted by a very friendly receptionist. I arrived at my scheduled appointment time to then be immediately directed to an available room (wow, DVM's apparently know how to keep on schedule...can you relay some advice to my MD?) and within 5 minutes the vet (Casey) came in. He talked to me first while my feisty kitty calmed herself down in her cage. When we finally got her out he was gentle with her and kept me informed of what he was assessing which I really appreciated. He took her back to get her vaccinations while the whole time I can hear my vocal kitty swearing at him with her hisses and growls, apparently he knows what he's doing cause he came back scratch free. When he came back I was completely mortified and apologized for having to deal with such a stinker! Her behavior didn't even seem to phase him cause he knew exactly how to handle her! He finished by asking me if I had any questions which was great because most medical appointments they are pushing you out the door because they are so behind. I was in and out in 30 minutes with all my questions answered. My total came to $87 for the visit ($55) and vaccination ($37). OK, so it seems like a lot, but as a physical therapist my company charges $55 for 15 minutes, so I can't complain that I was charged $55 for 30 min. read more

Care is excellent, prices are reasonable. Staff is knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. Dr. Sowell is the best. He knows our dogs. One is scared and the other can be ornery, but he handles both calmly and deftly. We've been seeing him for 4 years, and we trust him implicitly. read more

Aurora Veterinary Hospital is the Holy Grail of vets in Seattle. I was a former Urban Vet person. They were close, they were attached to my kennel, and the vet was nice enough. However, it seemed like every time I went there I walked out spending several hundreds of dollars for basic services, and hearing how many more services I needed to have done (x-rays, teeth cleaning, extensive testing). I hopped on Yelp and did some research in hopes of finding a vet that only had good things said about them... a rare find... I came across Aurora Veterinary Hospital and figured I would give them a try. I took both of my dogs in for a basic checkup including urine samples. Not only did the doctor spend a good amount of time listening to my concerns and going through their charts from the previous vet (which she informed me basically gave non-information), but she also explained to me that those "services I NEEDED" weren't needed at all... and WHY. I walked out of this TWO dog visit spending as much as I would normally spend for a ONE dog visit. AND I really feel like both dogs were fully examined, loved on, and cared for. The office is clean, the people are friendly, the vets are good, and the pricing is exceptional for the area. read more

Don't be put off by the location or the outside appearance of the building - this is THE place to go for top notch vet care in Seattle. And I don't say that lightly, given how much I love my pets...and how much you love yours. A friend suggested I bring my dog to Aurora Vet, since I wasn't thrilled with the service I was receiving at another pet doc. That was in 2004, and I have been a happy patron/patient for the last 7 years. Why are they so good? In short, excellent pet care! In addition to being courteous, respectful, professional and downright nice folks, they are staffed by some of the most compassionate and trustworthy veterinarians I have come across. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Andrew or Dr. Lisa, both of whom have treated my pup over the years. Other important tidbits: they can often fit you in on short notice, their rates are completely reasonable, they are upfront about costs, they never pressure or try to upsell services, they have on-site parking and separate entrances for dogs and cats (important if you have a big dog who likes to chase kitties). Also, their staff is friendly and helpful, and Rebecca is the bomb. Truly 5 stars, and then some. Two paws up! read more

This clinic has been my dogs PCP for almost 10 years now. It's hard to imagine that much time has past! Over the years I have seen Dr. Newton and Sowell and both have been great. Their bedside manner and patience has been great at putting the pups and me at ease. They are both very thorough and I have never felt rushed in the office, even when it's busy. I also just adopted a puppy from a kill shelter and they waived the first visit as a courtesy for saving an animal. On another occasion Dr. Newton showed me how to express my dogs anal glands, which hasn't spared me any nausea, but has spared me a lot of money. I can't think of the last time I've encountered that kind of generosity. It's a tell-tale sign their philosophy is genuinely structured around caring for their furry patients. read more

Relocated to Seattle in 2011, my 16-year old cat (now sadly departed) received excellent care throughout his last years by Dr. Bernstein and the wonderful technicians at Aurora Vet. He was also provided with outstanding care from Dr. Lauren Smith -- once for a check-up and finally during his end-of-life visit, when he was very ill and placed to rest. As we said our "good bye" to our dear companion, Dr. Smith offered the most sincere loving kindness to my cat, my daughter and me. Dr. Smith brought dignity and honor to a devastatingly difficult life event. I can only offer three Yelp stars to Aurora Vet management due to the escalation of our grief by the rude, unkindly attitude of a staff member after our cat was put to rest. Though concern about this person was shared with Dr. Bernstein, little to nothing had changed. This person offered no apology for her poor behavior. I am saddened to think she would treat another grieving pet owner as she treated us. She has been with Aurora Vet for over 25 years; Perhaps she is ready for retirement. read more

My kitty has seen Dr. Sowell twice now, and we love him and AVH! My situation is a little odd--my dad is a veterinarian back in Michigan (no, he's NOT Doc Pol!), and I generally work with him to do diagnostics for little issues and get medication for my cat's diabetes. But sometimes, you just need someone close by, and Dr. Sowell has had no problem with the fact that he isn't the only care provider for my kitty, which I'm sure puts him in kind of a weird position. He rolled with it no problem, though, which is hugely appreciated. My dad has always agreed with Doctor Sowell's assessments, never felt that he's done anything extraneous or unnecessary, and can report that, at least in his opinion, Dr. Sowell is 'not a treatment-happy cat vet' :) I even gave my dad the itemized list of charges, and he said that their prices are generally very reasonable, even for Michigan prices (no Seattle markup here!). What seals the deal for me is seeing my semi-cranky cat with Dr. Sowell--I honestly can say I've never seen him THAT happy with anyone but me. They looked like they'd been best buds for years! His official title should be 'Doc Sowell, Cat Whisperer' ;) OH! And major HUZZAHS for readily-available Saturday appointments!! (This mother of two young kids with a workaholic husband thanks you!!) read more

We were referred to Dr. Newton here when we adopted our rescue dog Roxi. She is reactive and has pretty bad anxiety. Dr. Newton knows exactly how to manage her appointments so everything goes smoothly. All of the staff here are very kind and understanding and make sure that we are well cared for. I am so thankful that we found such a quality place to care for our girl. read more

I have been taking my two cats and dog to Aurora Vet Hospital for over 10 years. They are very, very professional, but also down to earth. They give you real advice and never try to "sell" you things you don't need. Everyone is very nice and make both animals and humans feel listened to and never balk at any question. Even things that may - after I ask them - sound silly to even me. They have a separate entrance for cats and dogs, which makes it a lot easier to take the anxiety ridden cats. read more

We've been coming here for about a year or so for our 3 year old Beagle and for the most part would say that I'm a happy customer. Unfortunately we come here more often then most folks due to some health issues with our dog but the staff is often very friendly and attentive. We've seen two doctors here and both of them seem to do a great job. Costs are relatively low here vs. some other clinics as well which is a plus. I'm taking a star off due to the small, cramped waiting area for the dogs. Recently they changed dog and cat sides with the hope of improving the space, but it still is really small. read more

I love AVH. I started going there because of its proximity to my apartment, since I don't have a car. Before that I was going to one at the top of Queen Anne. I've sinced moved back to Queen Anne, but I'm going to keep taking my dog there, because they're so great. I've seen all the vets, I think, and they're all just fantastic. They're all fantastic vets, of course, great with my ancient dog, and they're also great with me, when I sometimes get a little freaked out if something goes wrong with her, and listen to everything I say. I've seen Dr. Bernstein the most, recently, and he really is fabulous; so fabulous, in fact, that he asked me three weeks after mentioning it how a wedding I went to was. Can you imagine! Sometimes I just expect vets won't even remember me/my dog at all. Nothing against vets, you understand, and I suppose not many people have a 15 year old dalmatian, but I couldn't blame them if they forgot who was who. But not the vets at AVH, they're excellent. Everyone I've talked to there (techs, etc included) has been really nice and friendly. And just today the girl taking my money lavished praise on my $1 garage sale ring. Oh, also, I think they're cheaper than other vets. For sure cheaper than the one I used to go to in QA. This wasn't really a factor in selecting the place, but it's nice to feel like you're not getting sucker punched. Why, when I brought my dog in there today to make sure she was handling the heat okay (she was, don't worry), I have a feeling that had I responded in the negative when Dr. Bernstein asked whether I wanted him to really examine her (instead of observing her and talking to me for a few minutes), they might not have charged me anything at all, despite squeezing me in and having a vet tech check things out. AND giving her some canned food! Full service! read more

Cannot say enough good stuff about this vet clinic. Firstly, they are usually pretty easy to schedule with. Once my cat had a scratch on her eye and although they were booked solid, they made time to see her since they didn't want her to be uncomfortable. I have also taken my other cat who is a pure breed scottish fold to them when he was having non-stop diarrhea - to the point where I felt like no one could accurately diagnose him since it kept coming back. Aurora Vet ran some special tests and found the root of the problem - some really unpronounceable name that basically comes from catteries and called in a prescription to a special pharmacy in New Jersey. I was skeptical but my kitty has had ZERO problems since this diagnosis. AMAZING. I've seen pretty much all the vets here but my favorite so far has to be Dr. Bernstein - he showed me an easy way to feed my cats pills (who hate pills). He was also super personable and my appointment didn't feel rushed. Other than that, the office is clean and always buzzing. They have two separate sections for dogs and cats but I don't always see that policy enforced (not that it's ever mattered). The girls at the front desk are nice and so are the technicians. They always compliment my kitties which is what a glowing pet owner loves to hear. Prices are very reasonable as well. I've never been shocked at a bill. I'm moving to California but am going to miss them! read more

Dr. Bernstein is awesome. My two previous experiences with vets have been with the vet who provided pro bono care at the community center where I worked and the fancy schmancy vet's where my mom takes her dogs. At the fancy schmancy vet, they try to sell you all sorts of things. They recommend every treatment and vaccination and supplement for your dog and you leave with a $300 bill. Dr. Bernstein talked with me about what vaccinations were needed and which treatments weren't really necessary for a dog in Seattle (e.g. heartworm meds). I left with a happy, healthy dog and a $50 bill. The place has a great, not fancy but thoughtful atmosphere (e.g. separate entrances for dogs and cats) and the techs were all nice and competent. read more

I've been here with my cat several times over the past 3-4 years for checkups, for a bladder stone surgery, and just yesterday to have her put down after discovering that she had an inoperable tumor in her jaw. I came here initially on the strength of the Yelp reviews, and it turns out several friends bring their pets here as well. My first time, I hadn't been keeping up with regular checkups, but Dr. Bernstein was very nonjudgmental and just focused on making sure kitty was healthy, and setting up reminders for her annual checkup. I have seen Dr. Bernstein, Dr. Kreyenhagen, and Dr. Newton. All of them are compassionate, kind, explain everything to you and have an excellent bedside manner. The staff here are also helpful and kind. This was my first time having to put a pet down and the staff let me be with her, and to take all the time I needed after she passed. Highly recommend, and I will be trusting the care of my future pets to these wonderful people. read more

They are really handling COVID so well. They have the procedures down. And I still feel like I'm getting excellent guidance and care for my pets!! It's harder to get an Appt right now due to COVID, but that's not the fault of the clinic. read more

This review is admittedly only based on one office visit, but I thought they were great! I was unhappy with the service and prices at the vet I had been using and found Aurora Vet Hospital through Yelp. I wasn't disappointed! The front desk reception was friendly and helpful. The vet was kind and thorough, and she did not rush the appointment. The price was reasonable and they gave me the costs upfront. Overall, I left with a warm fuzzy feeling and I will be back. Oh, and they don't try to sell you any unnecessary treatments or services. At my old vet, they told me my shepherd's teeth were in bad condition and pushed me hard to schedule a $500 teeth cleaning. The vet at Aurora took a look at her teeth and commented on how good of shape they were in considering her age and never brought up the need for a cleaning or anything else. It is so refreshing to find someone honest for a change! read more

I've taken my Crankenstein cat here for many years and they always treat her so well. She's got a difficult temper and they are never fazed by it. I've had Dr. Sowell, Dr. Weinrauch and Dr. Bernstein and they are all consistently great! Their front desk staff is amazing. I like that they have a separate dog an cat entrance, and their bills are fair. Bravo! read more

This is a very nice vet hospital. I had to euthanize my kitty 3 years ago and was new to town. They didn't judge or over-question. It was a peaceful ending to a long life. I'll always cherish their kindness in such a tough time. Plus they sent me a card which was touching. Then my other kitty had some stomach problems and they didn't over-do the treatment. It was very much a "less is more" approach which was welcome. I'm happy with them. read more

I love Aurora Vet! I (very) rarely write reviews, but this place deserves it. I've been taking my Ragdoll cat here since she was a kitten, and they have always treated her lovingly and thoroughly. As a kitten, she had a significant amount of digestive issues, so she was at the vet every few months for visits with either Dr. Newton or Dr. Bernstein, and they have both treated her very well. You can tell that they truly do love animals, as they always greet her with big hugs and pets. I've also had to call on numerous occasions to get advice or discuss things that have arisen since her last appointment. On every single occasion, either Dr. Newton or Dr. Bernstein has called me back the same day and talked through all of my concerns at no charge. They truly love and care for animals, and I have confidence that they do what is best for my cat. I'm glad I've found a place where I feel comfortable bringing my sweet girl. Thanks, Aurora Vet! read more
