From the minute I called to make the appointment, they treated me like family. Very kind and patient. Dr. Durfee and Presley were so good with my little guy. They were gentle and took time to get to know me and my dog. They explained everything thoroughly and my little Bentley was really chill the whole time. About a month later brought Bentley for a nail trim. They did an amazing job and filed his nails so smooth. This week Bentley wasn't feeling well. I could tell. He had a cough and tummy troubles. Called the office and they fit us in right away. So friendly and kind, no pressure to purchase anything, made recommendations about current care and what may help once his tummy troubles clear. We have a plan to keep an eye on his heart condition two he can live as long as possible. I would clone him if I could. The entire team at Kulshan is amazing and I keep saying amazing because they are! If you're looking for any vet services, i truly and highly recommend them!!!

During this visit I let the tech know we would be out of town for the holidays when the last set of vaccinations were due and she stated, that's okay there is a 2 week grace period so as long as you get them in before 2 weeks they should be fine. I scheduled a time within the two week period and they told me I would have to start the vaccines all over again. This was a litter vaccine schedule so they would be charging a lot once again to re-vaccinate all of the puppies. If they were not so rude maybe I would think about it, but the staff has not been pleasant so many times. It's so unfortunate because the first appt with Dr. Erickson and his tech was absolutely amazing!!!

When we returned home, I was blown away when the veterinary doctor sent me a text to follow up and inquire about my pup. The after care, care was amazing. For the week after the initial visit, the veterinary doctor would occasionally file up to keep up with the progress. I was left feeling so grateful and cared for. My experience was first rate. I wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you for your amazing care.

In fact, he was especially cranky today and had to wear a muzzle. But Dr. Johner handled the situation with incredible professionalism and calm. He gave Axel the space he needed, observed him from a safe distance, and calmly explained everything to us without escalating the tension. It worked! Axel settled down, and we got the answers we needed. Dr. Johner gave us a clear plan of action for some new concerns and took the time to explain everything thoroughly and patiently. Missy at the front desk is simply amazing, friendly, organized, and once she knows you, she'll probably recognize your voice when you call. It's those personal touches that really make this practice stand out. The vet techs are also wonderful, compassionate, knowledgeable, and clearly care about the animals they work with. We feel lucky to have such a skilled and kind veterinary team so close to home. Highly recommend NW Vet to anyone looking for excellent, compassionate care for their pets.

Absolutely awful experience that left both me and my pup shaken. We came here for the first time…read morefor a pre-travel health certificate and exam before flying out of state with my 4-pound Chihuahua. My dog has had previous negative experiences at veterinary offices, which is why I specifically chose a new clinic and had hoped for a more compassionate approach. Unfortunately, before I had the opportunity to explain her history or discuss how she does best with handling, the veterinarian attempted to remove her from her carrier. He then stated that she was trying to bite him, despite the fact that she has never bitten anyone in her two years of life. She is fearful and tends to bark when she is scared. She was taken to the back to be weighed and fitted with a muzzle, where I could hear her crying. They later came back and told me that they had put the muzzle on her, but she couldn't breathe properly with it, so it had to be removed. When she was brought back into the room, the veterinarian restrained her by the back of the neck while attempting to administer a rabies booster that I wasn't aware she was due for. As my tiny dog squealed, cried, and tried to get away, the vaccine was ultimately given in her hind end before she was placed back on the floor. I was visibly upset and shaking while this was happening. At no point did I feel that my concerns were heard or that there was any effort to slow down, discuss alternative handling techniques, or take my dog's fear and history into consideration. I left feeling heartbroken that what should have been a routine visit became another traumatic experience for both of us. I understand that veterinary professionals have difficult jobs and that fearful pets can be challenging to handle. However, compassion, communication, and fear-free handling matter--especially with very small dogs that are clearly frightened. I cannot recommend this clinic based on our experience.

Both recovered wonderfully and are both healthy loving cats! My boy kitty had an eye infection about a year ago and they promptly got him in and gave me medicine for him that would last a while. One of my favorite things about this place is they are always willing to work with my budget while giving the best care they can. I still pay for the things my pets need but they have good affordable options! The staff is kind and explains any and all questions I have pertaining to surgery , medications and care. I've always felt they give my babies the best care possible. Covid precautions have been nice as well, show up, call and then they come out to get your animal. With a small office this has been a major plus. My most recent appt is for a new puppy! They were able to get him in in a week, which is faster than other places! He was tested in another state while we were on vacation for parasites which came back positive, they were willing to receive that information and prescribe antibiotics fast!

I got a crash course on how to secure a second muzzle to protect people holding the dog down for me to clip nails. Thanks to them, nobody was harmed or the dog. It's easy for folks to blame vets when it comes to pet care. However, this is a clinic that people can trust with the lives of their pets. (Vets can't always cure or prevent the loss of a pet, but these folks will do their best to prevent poor outcomes.)

On the surface they project as a friendly caring veterinary clinic, However after multiple…read moreconversations with front desk staff, and a lack of accountability, I have opted to reconsider my pets health care provider and advise you to do so as well. I brought my cat in for a suspected urinary blockage/ UTI and allowed them to run every test necessary for a proper diagnosis at a large expense. He was given a clear bill of health. Not a week later my pets condition is worsening, and when following up, I was informed by front desk staff that the Dr. that conducted the testing on my pet is "not really medically competent". When I asked if another veterinarian could review my pets results, I was met with a strong No, and was told that I could instead rebook and run the same 700$ tests with a different Vet in house if I wanted someone to look at the results. I just paid them 700$ for them to tell me my sick pet is fine, and that I need to switch his food to a brand only they carry. (scam) No follow up, no results, no medication, no recommendations. Only that another vet can review his results a week later for another 700$. I've been a Mission resident my entire life, and have had pets my entire life. They've not only lost me as a client permanently, but I will do my best to prevent my family and friends from going there as well. All this because they didn't want to spend 5 minutes reviewing my pets results over the phone with me and providing me with a healthcare solution (be it surgery or medication, both of which I happily would have paid for.) Suck it Cedar Grove, you're trash and apparently your staff thinks so too.
