Kapaau Veterinary Center - Veterinarians Near Me - Kapaau, Hawaii

Dr. Woodley and her staff are the most compassionate and loving people I have ever encountered in the veterinary world here on the Big Island. Although it's an hour and 20 minutes (one way) away from where I live, I actually did it again in January for a follow up appointment and will be going again in March. I initially went to a vet here in Kona to deal with a growth on my cat's mouth which proved to be cancerous. The vet removed as much as they could safely but some of it couldn't be removed. A biopsy was sent to an oncologist who suggested chemo and radiation immediately as I was told the cancer would come back with a vengeance. I wouldn't consider either of those treatments for myself so I wasn't about to put my cat through it either. I requested alternative treatments and was told they didn't have any so I asked for a holistic vet recommendation which led to Dr. Woodley and the Kapaau clinic. Dr. Woodley put my cat on some herbs in hopes that it would stop the growth of her tumor. Not only did it STOP the growth, but it SHRANK it. Had I gone with the initial recommendation, my cat would probably not be alive today as her life prognosis on the previously mentioned treatments was only a few months and she would have been miserable throughout the treatment. Today, she runs around like a kitten (she's 15 years old) and you would never know this cat had a serious bout with cancer. I have to give her the herbs daily, however, that's hardly a price to pay when I consider the alternative. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Woodley if you are looking for a natural way to care for your pet. read more

My pup and I have been together for 13 years, so suffice to say, he's my world. With that said, the level of care and attention provided by the wonderful staff at this vet clinic are world class. I brought the little (57#) guy in for an overall wellness check since we just relocated back to Kona (from NYC). He's had a slight cough that has been getting more frequent and our prior vet alerted me to a slight heart murmur. Other than that, my dog seems to be in great physical shape Two X-rays, a blood panel and a senior exam later, his health was confirmed! Aside from what may be an allergy, some arthritis in his spine, a slightly elevated liver enzyme, and an eyelid growth that must be removed, my dog is in peak shape for his age! I know all of this because they took the time to go over this in detail, give recommendations for further action, and later emailed all of this information in a thorough report. Honestly, I have never seen a report card like this: organized, thoughtful, easy to read and understand. My mom was equally floored. I am completely ecstatic about our experience with Kapa'au vet and will continue to make the drive from Kona to make sure my dog gets the care he deserves. From the moment I arrived we were greeted with smiles which is a HUGE plus in my book. Being in the service industry, I know what genuine care looks like. This is 100% it. I must also mention that the setup is perfect for social distancing practices. While you are unable to go "into" the office, there is a window that overlooks the backyard area that you have access to. You're able to be a part of the exam, while maintaining space. You must still wear a mask, and I fully appreciate that. Amazing! My thanks to the awesome professionals of Kapa'au Veterinary Center. read more

I've been to many vet clincs, we have several animals large and small. I have to say I wa every satisfied with my service for my cat, I was concerned about her I thought she had a respiratory problem, but as it turned out, just hairball and some allergies. That got treated with some ointment and a shot, Kika was treated very nice and loving! Thank you for the great care and speedy response with appt. read more

They are overpriced, not compassionate AT ALL, and will NOT work with you on payments. This should be your last resort if your pet is in need for help. read more

My friend has spent lots of moneytreatments using this clinic and then when his dog was really sick and was in critical Care the office was too busy to help and they did not even return call back from emergency contact message we left. i had to bring his dog to a vet in Kona and he needed to be put on oxygen right away. So sad to be treated like this read more

If you have deep pockets and are omni-credulous, this is the Vet for What other Vet sells OTC herbal supplements at double the price (check you health food store or Amazon); but, (the rub)you must first pay for an examination...how quickly $15 will balloon to $100. Bite this apple and...wait, perhaps, you are already out of pocket several hundred by this time. Of course if you are even a wee bit skeptical, consider getting a second opinion. Kapaau Vet Center is the best advertisement going for all other Hawaii DVMs. read more

This is hands down the best veterinary center ever!!! I would give them more stars if I could. They are not just any ordinary center, they are a holistic one! The veterinarian who helped me with my baby is no longer on the island....she is the best vet ever..Dr. Jody Bearman. She was soooo amazing! She saved my dog, Cinnamon's life. Her assistant, Rachel was also amazing. They made Cinnamon feel extremely comfortable and comforted me as well. We had not slept in almost a week. He had not urinated on his own in nearly 7 days and his bladder was at its full capacity. After being misdiagnosed by two vets in Hilo, he nearly didn't make it. The vets in Hilo gave him medications (10 mg of valium every 6 hrs. and some weird blue chemotherapy pill that I was to administer with gloves on) that weren't fixing the problem, instead making him weaker. Dr. Jody and Rachel did everything they could to heal him up. Dr. Jody also spent the night at the center with Cinnamon. I knew he was in great hands and care. The next day Cinnamon was able to urinate on his own and I was able to take him home. Everyone at the center was great and the facilities are super clean and maintained. They were all extremely helpful and friendly, which I needed because I was so overwhelmed and in a panic at the time we arrived. Dr. Jody also gave me a recipe perfect for Cinnamon, which he loves. They also sell a large variety of natural dog food, treats and lots more to care for your beloved pet. I highly recommend this center!! If you're in Hilo, it is worth the drive because it is after all your pet's life at stake. Thank you everyone at Kapa'au Veterinary Center!!!! ps I also got Cinnamon neutered here by Dr. Bearman and had a wonderful experience! He healed perfectly...very quickly!! read more

Dr. Woodley and her entire staff are so loving, professional and on point! Their services for our beloved dogs are worth the long, long drive from the east side of the island! Our KoaPup was suffering so much with many ailments and we could not get a solid solution for our loved dog. My husband found Kapaau VC, online. We quickly made an appointment, our last hope. Dr Woodley's front staff are so friendly and caring but thorough and gets answers from frazzled pet owners for the initial consult. They are the best! KoaPup and we got to Kapaau and were so professionally and kindly treated. Dr. Woodley listened to our concerns so patiently and asked the right questions. KoaPup just loved her right away, he was so calm. He knew he was going to be helped there! Well, of course KoaPup got started right away on clean, natural, herbal and scientific based treatment and within the first week following Dr. Woodley's recommendations, KoaPup started to change. KoaPup started to heal. After all the frustrations concerning his illness Dr. Woodleys recommendations were a true life saver for KoaPup! And has continued till today! KoaPup is now 8 years old, we believe he started with Dr. Woodley at age 4 years old, maybe younger. And now we have a 5 month old puppy that has already had two visits to Kapaau Veterinary! We wouldn't have it any other way for our beloved dogs who are family to us! Thank you Dr. Woodley and your much loved staff! read more

Took our 3 cats in for well kitty check ups. The doctor and her assistant were very nice and knowledgeable. They spent a lot of time with us and gave all a clean bill of health. I definitely recommend this group. read more

Dr. Woodley and staff are awesome! Dr. Woodley has so much compassion for her patients. She takes her time to answer our questions and doesn't try to rush us out. We had to put our dog to sleep and Dr. Woodley stayed with our dog and us and talked and petted him the whole time. If you are ok with naturopath, Dr. Woodley is the best! read more

BEST VET! This is by far the best vet we have ever taken our dog to. Not only here on the island but on the mainland too. We were highly recommended to Dr. Woodley and her team and am so glad we tried her! Never has our dog liked going to the vet until here! They were so friendly and caring and understanding. They really take the time to get to know you and your pet. Our first visit we spent over an hour and half with the vet and or the vet assistant going over all our dogs history and concerns. Another great thing is that they are a holistic vet center....so instead of wanting to prescribe all these different medicines they take a more natural way to healing. Which has made a HUGE improvement in our dogs health. He looks amazing! They really seem to know what they are doing and take the time to explain it to you. They also will not only give you the holistic approach but will give you the western approach as well and let you decide what you prefer for your pet. I could not thank them enough for the love they show us and the help they have provided in completely changing our dogs life. read more

From the minute I walked through the doors it was a great experience. The facility was clean and had top notch equipment. I was greeted and made to feel very comfortable to leave my baby (cat) there. The passion and love the staff shows for the animals in their care is beyond 5 star service. I was extremely impressed and pleased to see the compassion literally every single staff member had for each animal they handled. I would 1000% recommend Dr. Woodly (hope I got the spelling right!) and her staff to any and everyone! From the reception to the vet techs- the professionalism and quality of service (not only for me, but more importantly my animal) was impressive and took away any worries or concerns I had. Not to mention- best prices in the area! Thank to guys for taking care of my kitty and ensuring her safety and comfort!! If your an animal lover- take ur pets here! read more

Hands down, one of the best animal docs I've ever taken my animals to. She is caring, thinks outside the box, tries the least invasive approach first, combines alternative and conventional approaches in her vet practice, and is all around a good person. Her staff is amazing and cares about the owners and their furry friends. My cat growls and hisses at every other vet she has gone to except for this one. I have since moved off the island, but if I could afford to fly back to Dr. Woodley every time my cat needed to see a vet I would. I more than HIGHLY recommend! read more

This is a great office with a warm, caring staff who take the time to diagnose and treat your pet using traditonal and holistic approaches. What a great experience for me and my dogs! read more
