I wanted to express my sincere appreciation for Dr. Jane Flathers and Angel Animal Hospital. I have…read moreused other veterinarians in Springfield but Dr. Flathers stands out as the best. I had two dogs before this dog whom I took to other veterinarians. The contrast between previous veterinarians and Dr. Flathers was pronounced. The last veterinarian did not appear to be as thorough in her examinations, her equipment malfunctioned on our last two visits and she seemed to be unable to confidently diagnose my dog's health issue. Every time I have seen Dr. Flathers I have been very impressed with her knowledge and diagnosis of my pet's problems. I would highly recommend Dr. Flathers and Angel Animal Hospital. I appreciate Dr. Flathers' superior knowledge, abilities and genuine concern for the pets she treats and their owners.

It all happened so fast. Fine on Monday, Tuesday felt large irregular hard lump, made vet…read moreappointment for tomorrow. Wednesday lump was mushy and large. Dr Robinson was pretty sure it was cancer but when the needle aspirant went onto glass slide it looked like pus. Under microscope saw only a few bacteria, otherwise just dead WBCs. Home with antibiotic and anti inflammatory. She's had no fever. Thursday lump is much bigger. Chest X-rays ruled out pneumonia or some such. Home with another antibiotic. Friday she had a loud swallow, I knew that ment breathing would be next. Decided with Dr. Robinson to go ahead with surgical investigation and lance it somewhere. Dr Robinson put BB under but had to use a much smaller tube for intubation than with dental last year. When she saw the tonsil, it was much bigger on the inside, it was obvious cancer. Weighing quality of life--being newly deaf, blind in one eye, foggy in the other, aching with joint pains, or left to die trying to breathe?!!--Oh, no. We went in to say goodbye, then my BB went on to sleep on some really good drugs. Dr. Robinson was near tears, very tender and caring, still made it no easier. It all happened so fast. It was so hard. My little Black Beauty Tomato is much happier now, she can see with both eyes, hear as good as ever, and is running easy-fast keeping up with her siblings she just met!!! ‍ All the staff at Healing Paws Veterinary Hospital were so kind dealing with us all week. Drs Robinson, Beatty, and McFarland were so gentle and supportive with 'BB'. So respectful and kind. I can't say enough. Thank you, thank you.

My dog has a serious infection caused by incompetence from a vet clinic who will gladly fire you as a client once they're under fire with the law. Be cautious.

Do NOT take your pets here. I caught them trying to scam me into TWO $2,500 procedures for my cat…read more I decided to get a second opinion on the "large bladder stones" they found in my cat and the second vet not only was going to charge a fraction of the cost for the procedure, they couldn't find ANY stones. Followed up in six months and still couldn't find any stones. The second procedure was teeth cleaning, claiming he had infected teeth. The other vet agreed teeth weren't great, but definitely no infection and could wait. And even worse, they told me my other cat most likely had cancer and since I couldn't afford to go through cancer treatments for an 18 yo old cat, there wasn't anything else I could do. Meanwhile, my cat is getting sicker and sicker, but I felt my job was just to make her comfortable until the end. On another visit with the same cat, they acted like they'd never said that and claimed a different diagnosis!!! I decided then to get a second opinion, but it was too late. She was too far gone and passed away.

He is also very good for well care, but just want to reiterate that he is where you should take your cat in case of emergency vet care. My first experience with him was with a very sick cat.

As I was leaving, well after his closing time, another pet owner was coming in with their sick kitty bundled in a blanket. He truly cares. I highly recommend this vet.

One of my cats, Kitty, had been itching her ears constantly and slinging water out of them for a long time. She's had an ear infection before, so I knew that's what it was. I mentioned it multiple times during the visit, but they brushed it off and told me her ears were just "a little dirty." I wasn't comfortable with that answer, so I took her to Galloway afterward. They immediately diagnosed her with an ear infection and gave her ear drops, and she's already doing better. It's frustrating when you trust a vet with your pets and feel like your concerns aren't taken seriously. I just expected more thorough care and attention, especially after specifically pointing out an ongoing issue. I won't be returning.
