I was well updated throughout the process and kept at ease during the whole day. Huge shoutout to the team for helping clean out one of my kitties carriers after they were car sick from a somewhat stressful ride in traffic this morning. My cats are my whole world and I truly felt the staff at Thrive East cared for them as if they were their own. We drive a little bit out of the way to come to this location due to always having a great experience with the staff. They are friendly, always squeeze us in if they can and are great at keeping pet parents updated! We have also regularly seen Dr Brunson for check ups and other regular needs and she is so wonderful and fun to work with!

When I moved into the neighborhood 35 years ago, I heard how great the folks at Hyde Park Animal…read moreClinic were, but was warned their practice was full and they weren't taking new clients. Nonetheless, I phoned to ask, for my 2 cats, and was informed that was the case. I respect a business (especially medical providers) which values quality of service over profits. Wish more health professionals thought the same. I'm sure HPAC gets multiple calls a day asking the same question, and have to answer with the same disappointing news, and it may be frustrating when they get pushback from callers who feel entitled to vent about it - to them. To the staff at HPAC: sorry you hear from folks acting like that. To those who get their feathers rufflled when they hear "no": get over yourselves and move on. So we got into town too late for this clinic, but there are others. Yes, Austin is getting more crowded every day, and demand may be higher than supply - and that IS frustrating. Find one YOU like, establish a relationship with them, and brag to others!

Guess he's just bad at his job. If you aren't cut out for caring for animals that aren't perfectly friendly then why are you in this job? Also, it's fucking filthy.

Gatsby was purring up a storm in the exam room. I think the cat nip diffuser helped. Dr. Lisa Tinanoff did a physical exam and ran blood work on Gatsby. Gatsby is a senior, turning 15 this month, and Dr. Tinanoff and her staff handled him with great care and brided him with lots of treats. I like that this cat hospital also offers boarding. Their original pet hospital that serves both cats and dogs also offers boarding which is convenient especially if you have senior and/or special needs pets.

Windsor Park vet has taken care of no less than 9 of our animals for the last (probably) 35 years…read more Doc G is awesome, the whole staff and techs and front desk folks are all amazing. When it has been those sad times to reach the end of the journey, the compassionate folks there will not BS you, which I greatly appreciate. To many vets will recommend extending an animals existence, and treatments, far beyond what is reasonable just for money, not caring about an animals suffering or their dignity and Quality of life... But not the good folks here. They care about the fuzzy patient the most, and what's best for them, from little too long in the tooth. I've kept going back, and almost all of my friends and family go to them, through all these years. Try em out. They care.

Absolutely fantastic! I'd give Windsor Park Veterinary Clinic ten stars. My rescue doggo Gary loves…read morethem too, so they're now her forever vet. Here is why: Gary is a formerly homeless doggo from Missouri with a major back leg and hip problem from a botched emergency surgery after being hit by a vehicle. The Missiouri surgery was done poorly and there was apparently near zero aftercare during the foster months before I adopted her. So, Gary came to her forever home here in Austin with a withered rear leg and permanently dislocated right hip. I first took Gary to a big Atx vet practice who simply referred to a specialist ortho surgery center. They did an MRI to recommend major prosthetic hip surgery. But neither took the time to actually explain things, offer any alternative options, or even really just listen. So at both steps I felt kinda railroaded and definitely frustrated. This is why I took Gary to Windsor Park Veterinary Clinic for a second opinion. There, Dr Hein took lots of time to evaluate my pupper, inquire about practical things like her likely future activity level, and really examine all the previous diagnostic info. Dr Hein then took lots of time to SUPER CLEARLY explain what the previous vet and ortho specialist didn't -- what exactly a full hip replacement would entail, the possible benefits and definite risks, and the specific pros/cons of that versus a simple amputation. Dr Hein is taking time to really understand my goals (no more chronic pain for Gary, low risk of future complications, a long life of neighborhood walks and couch naps, etc) to create a plan that I fully understand and that Gary can agree with. AND all the staff there are super fantastic! Again, TEN stars.

I took my kitty Leonard for a regular checkup and he had a bump on his side. The vet was so reassuring and calm. She gave me several options and was very upfront with the costs and not pushy at all. After an in house biopsy we settled on removal a couple months later and were able to add dental cleaning at the same time to save some money and allow for Leonard only needing to be put under once. He got his stitches out today and I was again impressed with the level of care. Leonard says thank you!

He was very insightful in telling me that while someone had been cruel to him, someone else had been kind to him. As it took 2 months for Babe to receive pets without flinching, I didn't bother looking for whoever abused him. Dr. Meyer taught me a lot about rehabilitating my skiddish stray into a loyal, happy dog. He was honest and supportive when I tried to rescue another stray who was not pregnant but suffering the latter stages of heart worms. Now with another dog found meandering the streets (whose owners claimed to have 'given her up 2 years ago') I'll be taking her to Dr. Meyer to help her get a healthier, happier life!

You might not read my long, emotional, personal story but it could become your story. Free speech includes opinions and reviews. No one should be punished for speaking out unless they are lying and why would I lie? This WONDERFUL vet clinic turned into a blackmail machine. MANY months ago I went in with my dog Karma (not knowing that Dr. Meyers was gone). Karma had horrible ear infections (again) and her "downstairs" was like bloody leather (AGAIN). I asked over and over to stop sending me home with my girl's ears full of medical "ear goop" and a lipstick-sized tube of "doggie neosporin." I then took her to Brykerwood's only to find that bacteria had eaten her eardrums and she would never hear again. Her entire body was infected with bacteria and she needed a medicated shampoo daily. As I shaved her I was disgusted with the white balls of strange bacteria attached to her skin and hair falling to the concrete. A week later she was like a puppy again. There is a reason I am updating and re-telling my story: I have a Great Dane that I took in for pre-op bloodwork necessary to put him under for surgery. His "visit" and flea/HW meds cost over $330. (They reimbursed me for $45 of that amount) About 9 days ago he (Odin) had a serious episode. I called Riverside Vet in desperation because bloat is deadly and he had all of the symptoms. Odin couldn't sit or lay down. His stomach was bigger than normal. His nose was dry and warm. Thomas answered. I begged them to see Odin. Thomas said they would call me right back to see when they could get him in. Thomas/they never did call me back. I had to turn to a emergency clinic. In a cosmic coincidence while tearfully waiting for that call I went to get the mail. There was a large vanilla envelope from Riverside Vet with a cover letter saying that "care was based on trust." And then, in very long and rambling paragraphs it said that I gave them a bad review in the past on Yelp and... "we have canceled all of your upcoming appts" (including Odin's surgery that I had to plan for 6 weeks in advance) and promising to reimburse me for Odin's bloodwork. All and all getting Odin seen at an emergency clinic cost me over $650 + $598 the very next day for a "follow-up" because I no longer had a vet. At least Odin is still alive. Karma is not.
