One particular day my dog Whiskey had a hot spot and they went above and beyond in their accommodation of us. They got us in same day and made sure that he had everything he needed, they even followed up to ensure he was doing ok after the fact! I can't recommend them enough and would highly recommend Uptown Vet to anyone in the area!

I arrived with a deeply traumatized dog that was obviously shaking like a leaf. I arrived 13…read moreminutes after my appointment and was told to Leave and come back in an hour and a half even though the practice was empty. I imploded the front desk receptionists to have some compassion as I didn't want to put my dog through the cruelty of having to wait an additional hour and a half of anxiety, but I was told in no uncertain terms they were 'busy' and If you're more then ten minutes late they need to get money from the next customer. I was saddened and shocked by the lack of compassion. I left feeling very frustrated, feeling as though my pet had been mistreated, as had I. They couldn't take care of a visibly traumatized animal because we arrived 3 minutes after their ten minute cut off time. Mind you we have been clients the entire 5 year life of my dog. I called the receptionist hours later to ask for Dr. Jen Larson's email address (the owner) so that I could express my dissatisfaction at the way I and my dog were treated. The receptionist (Mikayla) told me she never hear of a 'Dr: Jen Larson'. I found that strange as it's small practice. I feel I was lied to. Later that night, I was surprised that Dr. Jen Larson thought it appropriate to call me at my home and lecture me on why her receptionists are the best and their policy is ten minutes and her practice did nothing wrong. Honestly I have never been looking for a discount or money back. All I wanted as an apology for mistreating my pet. Instead I was insulted in a very u professional way and quite frankly felt threatened by her tone. I'll be filing a complaint with the North Carolina Veterinary Medical Board. If this is how a 5 year client is treated understand what you are in for. They care about money more than a distressed animal and the only apology you will get is nothing.

Dr. Miller is the best example that I know of what a small town vet should be like. He genuinely…read morelikes all of the animals that he treats and spends any amount of time with you that you need as the concerned "parent". My best example that shows why you should go to his office instead of a big or little box vet occurred this past weekend. After picking up my dog from the groomer I noticed something that was concerning and decided to drive by his office on the way home. Knowing that I would be lucky to find the office open much less being able to get time with him, I hoped that I might be able to set up an appointment. I actually found him in the parking lot locking up for the day. He closed up the office and then looked at my dog in the parking lot. Then we talked in the parking lot for twenty minutes about my sports car and his soccer injury. The chat is not necessary but it gives you time (as it did for me that day) to think about any other questions that you might have. If you are looking for a puppy then you should give him a call for a recommendation for a breeder. He seems to be aware of or provides services for a lot of breeders (especially golden retrievers).

We have been bringing our dog to Dr. Miller's office for 13 years and have always been impressed…read morewith her care. We had an emergency last week in the morning and, left a message explaining we were on our way there. When Jackie called back, she was surprised that we were already in their parking lot. She proceeded to explain that they do not see emergencies and told us she would email us a list of other vets in the area. My husband (who is in the medical field- and, even though his office is not 'set up' for emergencies- he will always see a patient in pain), asked if someone could take just 3-5 minutes & triage her in the back of our car, because she was in so much pain-she's a big Newfie and wasn't able to walk) Jackie said no. Needless to say, we were extremely disappointed. So we went to Pressly Animal Hospital and were accepted immediately. As soon as we walked through the door, Dr. Pressly took her into the back, did x rays and showed them to us, explained everything and we decided on a plan of action. They also followed up throughout the day and the next morning. So, please be aware. As much as we really like Dr. Miller, Miller Animal Hospital will NOT see your animal in an emergency. They will NOT be there when you really need them.....even if you've been faithfully singing their praises and giving them your business for 13 years. Our new vet is Dr. Pressly and we'll not be going back to Miller Animal Hospital.

The business has changed.

The practice administrator is toxic. Gaslighting and blaming me for looking after my best friend and wanting answers about his tumors/cancer and stating "it was an easy fix if you'd let us" after telling me they would deny future services. That's fine, I don't want to know what it would have cost just to get to the $1600 quote to remove a tumor on his tail. This is not the establishment it used to be. They have completely lost their way. They will charge you through the nose for every little thing, not give you feedback or consultation and scare you over unrelated issues just to charge for more procedures. They aren't the same, all the good vets left.

The front desk staff, particularly the woman I spoke with at 7:00 a.m. on 3/26/2025, was just as rude and indifferent as many other reviews have described. My dog had been a patient of Dr. Barker for over six years, but in the last two, this clinic has declined sharply. Today, my mom faced the heartbreaking decision to put our beloved 14-year-old Boston Terrier to sleep. When she called yesterday to request an emergency appointment, she was told the earliest available slot was three days away and advised to take him to the Kannapolis emergency vet in the meantime--and then told not to call back. There was no urgency, no compassion--just complete disregard for the situation. As his condition worsened, I called again this morning on my mom's behalf, hoping to secure an earlier appointment. After requesting an emergency visit, the woman at the front desk coldly asked, "Who is this for?"--as if she was deciding which pets were worth seeing. In that moment, it felt like they had completely turned their backs on us when we needed them most. When I pressed for an earlier appointment, she rudely stated they had openings between 2:00 and 3:00 p.m., but it was first come, first served--offering no guarantee of care. I explained our circumstances, hoping for at least some understand or compassion, but all I received was indifference. No sympathy, no effort to accommodate--just a dismissive attitude that made it clear my dog's life didn't matter to them. After years of loyalty to this clinic, it was devastating to realize that when it truly counted, they simply did not care. Let me be clear: you will receive no empathy from this staff. What should have been a moment of kindness and care was instead made even more painful by their unprofessionalism and coldness. There was no warmth, no reassurance--just a rushed, impersonal process that left us feeling like an inconvenience. That's why we took him elsewhere, where he was treated with the dignity and compassion he deserved in his final moments. We are heartbroken, and instead of support during one of the hardest moments a pet owner can face, we were met with indifference. It is beyond disappointing to see what this clinic has become--and even more unacceptable that Dr. Barker has allowed such awful behavior to continue for years. If you truly love your pets and want them cared for by a team that values their well-being, I strongly urge you to go elsewhere. No one should have to endure what we went through today.

I couldn't get her in to see our regular vet so I made an appointment with Petfolk. What a mistake.

Her equilibrium was shot. Our Petfolk vet appointment was on July 14. Now, on August 13, she is STILL unsteady. Plus, she has been refusing to eat and requires doses of Mirataz. This ordeal has lasted over a month and there is no end in sight ~ despite weekly visits with our own vet. We're very concerned that we may lose our beloved cat. So. Think twice or thrice before entrusting your pet to Petfolk.
