The experiences that I have had with this clinic and Dr. Acosta had all been positive. They have been understanding with all of my circumstances and been good to my God given family. They helped my Bu (OEB) have a calm peaceful way to the bridge and were very kind. Nothing is cheap anymore but time is Priceless. I thank Dr. Acosta and his team for helping me through that as well as any service that I have received and will receive in the future read more

At the recommendation of one of my sisters-in-law, we used Dr. Pitman for boarding purposes and annual checkups years ago [3 dogs and 1 cat]. The checkups were uneventful and didn't seem particularly expensive. When we boarded our 3-4 animals here, upon pickup, they all had a strange smell and appeared dazed. It took them several days to get back to normal. I've read that this veterinarian co-locates his boarding animals with his animal shelter aka "the Doghouse." This doesn't seem to be a good practice IMO because one of my former co-workers adopted a dog from the on-premises Doghouse/shelter, and the poor pup had parvo! Because I could not find anyone to perform an in-home euthanasia for my sweet kitty-cat Jewel, years ago, as a last resort, I asked Dr. Pitman who agreed to do it. He was not compassionate or empathetic in the least, as I was an emotional wreck, and my husband was, too. [I took 3 days off work to mourn Jewel's death]. Pittman seemed to be in a huge hurry and wanted to get this over with! This was not my intent. My goal was to get my priest on the phone to pray with me, and for me to keep my fur baby as comfortable as possible while undergoing this sad process. I had Jewel on a towel on my lap, and when Jewel died, Pitman didn't even have a proper carrier that would honor my fur baby [think the blue bags with handles the emergency vet in downtown Huntsville uses] to transport Jewel's body to his truck. Pitman just wrapped Jewel in my bath towel and off he went. My last encounter with Pitman was when a stray cat somehow [without us knowing it] got into our back yard. Sadly, our dogs attacked the cat and his back and legs were broken. Wow, this was really upsetting! I called Animal Control to help me remove the poor cat from under my deck and put him into a carrier for me to take to the closest vet I know, which was Pitman. My priorities were 1. Eradicate the cat's pain 2. scan the cat for a chip/try my best to find the owner [he/she didn't have a collar/ID tag on] 3. determine the extent of the cat's injuries and 4. make an informed decision about a path forward. Long story short, he quoted me a price to surgically repair the damage, which I knew would not be the end of the costs for treating this stray cat - and what quality of life would this animal have after such intense damage? Again, not my cat and we were not interested in having a second cat. I thought it may be my neighbor's cat, and when I found out it wasn't, I was losing focus on what the responsible thing for me to do actually was. My workday morning was completely thrown off by this incident, I was not treated with compassion, I was very upset that my animals caused this animal to suffer and after being unable to locate the owner, made the decision to euthanize the cat. I did not feel like I should have to pay the entire price for the euthanization since it was not my animal, and I made this clear to Pitman. Reluctantly, Pitman did discount the procedure and I recall he charged me $150-$175 that morning [this was somewhere in the 2011 timeframe]. Thankfully, that was my last interaction with Pitman. Thankfully, there are abundant kind, compassionate, community-focused, veterinarians in the area now, who desire to, and actually do garner goodwill in the region, who put their patient [the fur baby] and the animal's needs first, and who also foster and grow compassionate relationships with the animals' owners, and do not prioritize power, wealth, and eradication of certain dog breeds. read more

Had a male kitten that needed neutered, so made the appointment and everything went fine with surgery. Seems as if the were friendly until I used the Snap program, seems as if I was looked down upon! Had my female spayed, and all didn't go well! No one called after her surgery, or called for me to come pick her up, got there after hours and they said they tried to call but voicemail was full! There was no missed calls from the clinic, they lied! PU kitten and she had two horrible huge knots, above and below incision, next day and it was oozing puss.Took her back and they said tissue irritation. Said to clean it and put neosporin on it. Over the weekend the incision opened up and green puss, took her back and they tried draining knott no fluid, no antibiotics either, said it wasn't infected. BS! Took her back the third time, and they finally gave her antibiotics! Now over a month later I get a bill for the antibiotics! Not paying it! I wouldn't of had to have antibiotics if they hadn't screwed up the simple surgery! Never said I owed them anything when I was there or before I left about charging for antibiotic. You ladies that sit at the front desk you might not want to look down your nose at people who aren't as fortunate as you are, why participate in a program if your going to make the people who use it feel less than you! Your no better than anyone else and you don't know there situations that they have been put in to have to use the program! The last photo is when I brought her home . Not paying for any antibiotics, she didn't need them when she got there! I can return the cat collar, never put it on her! Unnecessary read more

I really like Limestone Veterinary Clinic. I moved to the area from Birmingham and needed to find a vet for my pets. I used to work as a vet assistant and performed all of my pets' preventative care myself, so I was a little nervous stepping back as just an owner. Dr. O'Conner eased a lot of my worries. She answered my questions and really took her time with my dog who is fearful and extremely nervous. We did a meet & greet one week before her actual appointment so she could get acclimated. The day of her appointment, the techs were very kind and understanding. Not once did I feel rushed or out of the loop. The prices are also very reasonable (and this is from someone who has worked in the industry). I also really like that they serve the Limestone Animal Shelter. I definitely recommend this clinic. read more

Dr. Acosta and staff are truly a blessing. These people genuinely care and love your pet. They even called several times to check on our pup. Cannot recommend them enough. read more
