My little girl needed a follow up for her shots and meds. He got greedy fast. Really greedy. When…read moreI questioned the estimate he said he might be able to lower the charges a little bit saying "I could lose my license if...". He didn't approve of my getting my kitty's meds from Chewy (drastically lower cost) or the local compounding pharmacy. Her initial prescription was ordered by his cooperating pharmacy on the east coast. 2 click pens were paid for (per my call to that pharmacy) but I was only given 1, yet paid for 2, later the 2nd was "given to me as a courtesy". The estimate was lowered from $610 to just under $200 for shots and weight, no exam. My little girl was howling and hissing after being manhandled. The building is deteriorating, walkway broken up with lots of debris, lots of scratches and chips in exam rooms, lots of overpriced "products" for sale, staff is harried and seemingly overwhelmed. We are moving on.

When I moved to the west side of Madison I was in need of a closer vet for my cat. Having had bad…read moreveterinary experiences before, I was a little fussy about who I wanted to care for my animal. I found West Towne Veterinary online and went to check it out. I got there right before closing and Dr. Ken was kind enough to take time out of his evening to tell me about their cat friendly practice and show me around the clinic, including the areas that they perform surgeries and teeth cleanings. Dr. Ken has now been daisy's vet for the past three years and I can't say enough about the exceptional care they have provided to her! From the friendly office staff, to getting her in for emergency appointments... they even have cat boarding and a cat gym! They also offer "cats night out" events where your cat can socialize with other cats and you can learn information on how to better care for your pet. And to top everything off, Dr. Ken is one of those veterinarians that paddle boards and home brews. Can't beat that-- I wouldn't go anywhere else!

5-star quality care from, imho, the best doctors in the area. Great "bedside manor" with our dog,…read morewhich is always appreciated. I think we were prescribed (and sold) meds that we ended up not needing. It was more of a "just in case", which had we been thinking straight, we would have passed on (take the script, but fill it if needed). Overall, however - the care is top notch, and I trust them with my dog's care.

Dr Sarah cleaned it up, discussed options and what she recommended. When she had a problem a week ago with her GI tract, they were responsive in helping me with that as well. Dr. Jacki prescribed meds and listened to what Payton has taken before. She was very understanding about the fact that Payton is a thin girl and simply does not gain weight.....no judging (when we went for our initial check up). She also saw our cat, Sylvie, for a wellness check and meds. Sylvie can be a bit of a queen at times, but the staff said she was good. Last fall, my guy was not doing well, I wanted to let him be pain free without having to prove he was ready....I knew. We moved here not all that long ago and I was looking for a good fit for us. I called True Vet, explained what was going on and what I felt. They were so understanding. When we arrived they had all the treats he could ever want, but could or should not have. He was in heaven eating them. Dr Amelia was patient and listened to me babble on about my guy. I truly can not say enough about how wonderful the doctors and staff are. I never thought I would find a clinic like we had before moving to the Madison area.

One of my cats, Scribbles, wasn't eating/drinking and was hiding all of Sunday and they were able to get her in on Monday a few hours after we called them. They examined her and re-hydrated her and now she is back to her mischievous ways. I was shocked by how low the bill was, especially given how short notice it was. I've been recommending Sandhill to my friends since I started going to them and I will keep doing so. Amazing and honest vets!

They did an amazing job, and I'll definitely be a customer for life.

I am incredibly busy, and had trouble getting through. when I did, the receptionist appeared to be untrained and I sat on the phone while she tried to figure out their computer system. I finally hung up, frustrated since then, I received three messages from the owner, who finally reached me, only to provide me with a condescending lecture about being patient with her staff. I asked her to call me back when she connected to her system, and I hung up. I was not rude or mean appropriate in any way. I will find a vet who is concerned about providing efficient, well trained staff, not lecturing clients about who to act when such service is not provided. Find a vet who is professional and friendly to take care of your pets, not someone looking for a confrontation over nothing. Huge red flag here.

They accepted an appointment for all 3 at once and they have such different personalities, it was a great test of how wonderful the staff at Odyssey are! We love Dr. Susan Jeffrey and the CVT, Monica -- they were so gracious and treated my cats like they were their own. One cat tried to dart out the door, one cowered on a shelf and in her carrier, the other gained too much quarantine weight -- all were welcomed, vaccinated, and loved by Odyssey.

It was my first time at their new location, and everything went much better than I had anticipated. Parking was a breeze, the space was very clean and comfortable, every staff person we dealt with was very kind and compassionate, and they made the process as easy as possible given the situation. They even sent a personal sympathy card. They made us feel like they knew us and our cat for years. I still highly recommend Madison Vet Specialists & Emergency care for emergency needs (we see a different vet for regular vet services, so I'm unable to comment on that). Thank you! Original: I took my cat in for a non-emergency visit to get his eyes checked out. The place was easy to find and is beautiful inside. The waiting area was comfortable, the staff was very friendly and the vet and techs were extremely knowledgeable, to-the-point and fun to talk to. I am so happy we discovered this place. If there was ever an emergency with our cats, I would feel very comfortable taking them to Madison Veterinary Specialists! Thank you!
