Some of the criticisms I see on here seem to be from people who were in a very emotional situation. We all love our animals and want to have them properly taken care of. But I think that the review which claims Dr. Gibson is aggressive is completely unfair. She takes all precautions to make sure the animal is comfortable, going above and beyond. My experience with this vet has been consistently positive; even if the facilities are potentially limited and the hours are particular, they have had everything they need to take care of my dog, namely compassion and expertise. As far as pricing is concerned, I am no expert because I used to go to upper Arlington vet and that was not cheap. If that's your concern then call and ask. Anyways, so far so good, will continue to take my baby here. read more

See all

I want to start off saying that I think Dr. Gibson is a very qualified and compassionate veterinarian. I took my 2 cats to Glencoe Animal Hospital for 19 years. When my younger cat developed near-death symptoms, I called her after hours in a panic. She directed me to MedVet. The poor cat had HCM. MedVet were saying "there was no wrong decision" and Dr. Gibson was calling me while I was there to tell me I didn't need to have my cat euthanized; there was medication to treat her. She was spot on. That cat lived another 6 years. I will always respect her for this. But for the last 7 years, I would bring my remaining (senior) cat and the visits always felt chaotic and ADHD. Meaning, I would bring my cat in for her shots and the next thing I know (after a flurry of acronyms, possible health issues, etc.) I would be pressured into getting a battery of tests. I never walked out of the vet office for less than $500 during the last years of my second cat's life. I never felt that Dr. Gibson considered the most likely diagnosis (of whatever the issue was) but would overwhelm with a verbal-vomit of possible diseases and tests and outcomes. For me, there was a disconnect. read more

we have taken our pets to Dr. Gibson for over 20 years. she is aggressive and lacking compassion. we just took our 11 year old dog in today knowing her behavior had declined. Dr. G did nearly every test only to tell us she was full of tumors and blood in her abdomen. she advised us to euthanize her within 48 hours. spoiler alert; she told us she doesn't provide that service any longer. Thus leaving our family in a position to find someone to humanely end her life. This is wrong. NO VET SHOULD PUT THEIR Patients in this position!!! shame on you. read more

Doc is all over the place. They charge a lot per visit. Location is nice and easy to get too. Nice people just over priced.

My little girl is sleeping peacefully next to me. No itching or scratching or licking or biting herself. My little girl is asleep. Thank you Dr Gibson. read more

Okay, I've debated leaving a review, but I and enough friends whi have had issues with the male vet tech here that I feel people need to know. He is horrible with cats. He squeezes and roughly holds and agitates cat patients to the point they get freaked out. Our cat had to be sedated to have blood drawn because he agitated her so much beforehand. Our other two cats could not stand his constant agitation and motion and cooing and talking and were trying to run and hide. Another friend had to have his 20+ year cat put down and was devastated at the vet tech behavior and had to tell him to leave. When asking other friends for suggestions for new vets, I heard 3 other stories of people whose pets were traumatized by this guy. Maybe he is ok with dogs, but he doesn't know jack all about cats and will leave them worse for the experience. read more

Dr. Gibson and staff are wonderful. My dog actually loves going to the vet and they all love seeing my dog. I'm not just another customer as they have gotten to know me and my dog. They remember my dog's issues and are always courteous and professional. No treatment is pushed on me and always given options and thorough explanations. I highly recommend them! read more

I highly recommend this vet office. Dr Gibson did everything that was needed . Her staff was well equipped and ready ! Brian was excellent as well. Clear , to the point and great people. I trust them already , and definitely plan on coming back in the near future read more

Very good Vet. Dr .Gibson and staff can't be beat with care and openness.

I highly recommend this vet to anyone in the area. Dr. Gibson goes above and beyond to make sure that your pet is well taken care of and makes sure to look at issues from every angle. My dog was sick with Lyme's disease and it was an extremely scary situation for me, but both the vet and the staff were extremely friendly and comforting and helped my puppy get better in no time. Dr. Gibson even called to check up on my pup a week after our visit to make sure that he was doing OK. I am well pleased with their service and appreciated the personalized care and attention. Your pet could not be in the better hands! read more

I visited Glencoe for the first time a few weeks ago to get my pup's routine shots and all (1 year old german shepherd). I was thoroughly impressed with the attention and care I received from the techs and the doctor. Dr. Gibson is friendly, intelligent, not at all pushy (she is confident), and will offer different perspectives on things. When we discussed food choices for instance, she discussed pros and cons of different brands. She is pretty holistic, too, offering a thorough physical exam but also offered some suggestions for activities to play with my dog, recommended a trainer, and gave me a hug when we left! She made photocopies of some medical articles in her vet. book for an issue we discussed, and gave me a packet of information about the vet., emergency info., etc. when we left. Throughout the exam, she had 3-4 techs the whole time helping us if she was working on something else, such as getting a vaccine ready: the techs were keeping my dog occupied on the table (she probably ate 3 cups of treats), taking notes about her behavior, history, etc. and asking about me, her, and our lifestyle. Definitely excited to find a new vet. I can depend on for all our needs. read more

I brought my 2 sibling cats in as they were suffering terribly from ear infections. As my mother and I entered with cats in hand, my anxieties were extremely high as my babies are therapy for me. The nicest lady behind the counter did everything so quickly and efficiently to help get us comfortable in a room. Dr. Gibson and Brian entered with a calm aura and my cats and I felt that. As I found out more was happening with my babies, my tears were uncontrollable and yet again, the best team gave me hope with medication and knowledge. We left this office with a smile and hope!!! As of today, my babies are back to being happy and playing. They feel so much better. Ears are completely healed, thanks to the medication that also soothes as well as heal. Naomi's gums look gorgeously pink and she is back to eating dry food. I am so happy I picked this new place to bring my cats. Point to my long story; This dedicated Doctor, team and staff have so much to offer, to help. I will go no where else for my veterinarian needs. I will recommend this clinic to anyone with a furry loved one. From Samson and Naomi, Thanks for being amazing!! 10 STARS !!! read more

I've been visiting Glencoe for a few months now and I only have good things to say. When I first brought in my kitten, he was infested with fleas and worms and they worked super hard to help get him healthy again. Dr. Gibson is very knowledgeable and always makes sure to explain exactly what treatments she's using. You can tell everyone there really cares about your pets and is willing to go the extra mile to make sure they're healthy and happy. I would highly recommend taking your pets to Dr. Gibson! read more

This place turned my sick dog and I away this morning. My dog was very ill and it was nine a.m. I walked in and the two people behind the desk were not interested in helping us. Based on the fact that that we weren't already patients there. They claimed that the three hours that they were open would not be enough time to treat my dog. They had no idea what was even wrong with him. They handed me a 24 hour emergency vet pamphlet and that was it. I live right behind this place and they treated me like I was in the wrong neighborhood. This is how they treat the neighborhood that they do business in. Clintonville is a great place with great neighbors and great small business, this is not an example of Clintonville. You should be ashamed of yourself. Oh and p.s. my dog is feeling much better. A real vet helped us out. Never again Glencoe. read more

Dr. Gibson's practice was recommended to me by a friend. Though I had been with my previous veterinarian for over ten years, I was looking for a new permanent veterinarian for my 2 dogs and was looking forward to establishing a long term business relationship with a new pet healthcare provider. My initial office visit also included diagnosis and treatment of what appeared to be an allergic reaction (to an unknown cause) that my smaller dog was experiencing at the time. Though my dog's symptoms were swelling around the eyes, red eyes, and running a slight temperature 24 hours prior to my visit, I decided beforehand that my dog's current health issue was not severe enough to take him to a more costly emergency care animal hospital (i.e. OSU, MedVet, etc.), so I assumed that his health issue could be resolved at a much lower cost at a regular veterinarian office. Also, the receptionist at Glencoe Animal Hospital was able to get me in the very same day that I called; however, I was very wrong in my assumption regarding cost being less than OSU or MedVet. Though, I felt that everyone that I came in contact was very polite, professional, and welcoming, and I did sign off beforehand on all the tests & procedures that were performed that visit, afterwards, I felt like the exam room environment/customer experience was "staged" in order to maximize the total cost of services that were provided on that visit. The small cramped exam room was a flurry of activity all throughout my visit almost 3 hour visit (i.e. a chaotic exam room with multiple staff drifting in and out and the bombardment of information mostly directed towards the possibility of more serious health conditions). Multiple tests were performed over 2 and a half hours (i.e. a blood draw, lymph node fluid draw, & urine samples taken, Glaucoma & eye pressure tests performed, two injections of two different medications, etc.). Of course, unlike my previous vet who was able to perform in-house blood testing, at this vet, all lab (body fluid samples) had to be sent out to an external lab facility which likely increased the costs of the blood panel tests. Despite my mentioning to Dr. Gibson's during the visit that my dog has a higher than normal propensity in experiencing allergic reactions to environmental allergens, she was inclined to discount a less serious allergic reaction (to an unknown allergen) and give a preliminary diagnosis of one of two more serious illnesses/conditions (prior to the return of any lab results). Fortunately, after administering a few applications of 2 different expensive eye drop and a bill of almost $900.00 for a single visit, my dog made a swift recover after 24 hours of my visit and all the lab results came back with a perfect health profile (all tests negative concluding that he had none of the suspected serious illnesses)! I concluded that he ate a bug or bee which he often does; however, on this occasion, he experience an allergic reaction which the $12 Benadryl shot took care of! Despite the exorbitant cost of a single (my initial) visit, I felt that Dr. Gibson appears to be a WELL-QUALIFIED and COMPASSIONATE veterinarian; however, after talking afterwards with my friend (who referred me) and after reading some of these comments, it now appears that her recommending a high frequency of tests & procedures combined with a "busy" exam room environment is simply standard practice at this facility. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this veterinarian clinic to anyone as long as you are NOT needing to control your veterinarian healthcare costs, but for someone like myself who has multiple dogs AND on a tight budget relying on credit cards, I realized that after only one visit that I simply could NOT AFFORD to use Dr. Gibson's services on a regular basis. read more
