Professional and compassionate staff. Dr Cohen became my new vet because of her skills and how much she cares about my 2 dogs. I highly recommend. They have an impeccable reputation for being as good as they are. Pet care is expensive. It's a sad and unfortunate part of our beloved animals lives. They try to work with you as much as they can. read more

I'm sad to see unpleasant reviews because I've had nothing but a great experience. I was nervous finding a vet for my greyhound due to their breed having specific needs. I have always felt they knew what was best for my hound and keeping fair prices. They are kind to my fur baby and are always excited to see her. We have been pleased with her dental work as well. If you have a greyhound I recommend Munhall Vet :) read more

Was taking my pet here for a few years. Everything was great and they were on top of everything to keep him healthy and safe. The past few years, however, seems like something changed. First, in the early days, they had like six doctors on staff. These days, they have a hard time having one committed. Emergency appointments in this case are hard to come by if your pet needs seen right away. I guess they think with all the pet ER out here one can just go there and pay enormous costs. Finally, the last two appointments I've had, my pet came how afterwards and was very sick. The first time they would faint and be extremely lethargic. I ended up having to go back to the office, pay additional money for them to determine (or guess) what was wrong. He eventually recovered and was doing well. He stayed on his medication and was in great condition. Then they refused to authorize refills and required my pet to be seen in person in order to continue to write his prescription for him. I thought that was reasonable and took him in. Days after the appointment he gets very sick again. I can't get in to see anyone due to the fact there aren't enough doctors on staff. I go to the pet ER where I ended up having to make the "difficult decision" I was dreading. It just frustrates me to no end that MVH cannot get more doctors under hire and keep them. I prefer to see a person who will know my pets and treat as such And who can see them asap if an emergency arrives. My suggestion to MVH is to do whatever is needed to get and keep doctors on staff. read more

I will not be back The girl with the dark hair who is always rude and never smiles I was told 80 twice well thank god i couldn't catch my cat out of the blue she said 150 couldn't explain why and said i was misinformed i told her it sounds like she does not care about my baby she hung up the vet was cool thats who told me the price i don't want my pet around someone who is miserable and does not care read more

i would not recommend this place at all. they only care about money and i wish i knew about a different place that i took my dog that sadly passed away. some of the not all of the workers here are rude and don't care about the animals. everyone i've talk to hate this place and i wish i listened to them. read more

DO NOT TRUST THIS VET HOSPITAL A few weeks ago our 15 year old dog was experiencing breathing issues that were occurring mainly at night when he was laying down. I had told the doctor that his breathing sounded very wheezy and restricted, and that he had also been doing a sort of stretching motion with his neck/throat area. She listened to his heart and lungs and said that she heard no issues, but that she was unsure of what was causing the breathing difficulties. Our dog has dealt with allergies for most of his life as well as plaque buildup on his teeth. The doctor thought his teeth may have been causing an infection in his throat restricting his breathing. She did not suggest any type of further testing to see if there was anything more serious that could be affecting his breathing. She prescribed antibiotics to help clear any infection that she wasn't sure even existed. At his 2 week follow up, they pretty much completely dismissed his breathing which had not really improved from our first visit. Again, no further testing and sent us out with nothing even after expressing concern multiple times that he didn't seem much better. They told us that this was going to be trial and error and that if his symptoms got worse that we should bring him back immediately. Two days later around 8am our dog was coughing up puddles of blood. My wife and I both called the vet immediately, before the office even opened, expecting that they would be able to see us per their previous instruction. After our last two underwhelming appointments of zero results and only the suggestion to bring him back if symptoms got worse, they told us that he could not be seen when the exact situation that we spoke about arose. We rushed to the emergency vet in which the first suggestions they made were blood work and x rays. Within a few minutes the results showed that there was actually a mass in our dog's throat. We have been loyal customers to this vet with two dogs for the last 15+ years and this is the second time that we have had a major issue with the services provided. Think twice before you trust them to care for your pets. read more

The vet who treated my cat in the animal ER called this hospital in an attempt to get me an appointment in a facility that does dental x-rays. That vet was told how I should go about requesting a next day emergency appointment after 5:00. I called Munhall Veterinary immediately to see if they might have an emergency opening today and the person I spoke with--knowing that I had been referred and had never been there before--explained that I should call back just before 5:00 so they could get my information and have everything ready at 5:00 when the system would allow them to start booking appointments for the following day. Despite what both me and the ER vet were told, when I called later, the woman answering the phone refused to give me an appointment because I was not a current client--even after I explained that my emergency vet spoke with someone at this hospital earlier. I can appreciate if that's their policy--except it completely contradicts what they told both me and my emergency vet during our conversations earlier in the day. Now I have to start from scratch and have lost an entire day trying to get my cat treatment for a severe infection impacting his eye that he's been suffering with for nearly a week. His regular vet isn't equipped to do dental x-rays and was unable to get the infection under control after multiple visits, causing me to go to the animal ER who referred me to Munhall for follow-up care. read more

Terrible place. Rude, unprofessional, negligent, I don't recommend at all. It's dangerous when a vet is so negligent.

New to area... again Both my boys, Smokey, 13year old, 24lb puggle and Niko, 5 year old teacup ( 5lb ) Yorkshire terrier will be new patients as of this upcoming Monday. I am very pleased with the staff and how kind and courteous they are, not to mention accommodating to my boys needs as well as my own. Look forward to meeting the staff on Monday. read more

Lola is 6 and she comes here for her shots and check ups. They take very good care of her and they are so helpful. They keep her healthy and they keep me informed. I highly recommend this vet. Even after I loved I still take her to the same vet so she will remain in familiar surroundings. She was spayed and micro chipped in this office they take care of all her needs. read more

Called regarding having a procedure done. Was promised a call back which never happened !?! I went there for decades while Doc Bezak owned it, stopped when Dr Ortiz made a comment that was very insulting!! He is gone now and figured I would give them another try. I spend thousands yearly on my dogs as I'm a breeder, trainer. My money will spend anywhere --Just not there. read more

Don't care about animals in their need to be seen. We're booked until the 31st. Maybe we need to go to a new vet if you can't look at a simple belly rash today? "Sure that's okay with us". Find it hard to believe there isn't even a 15 slot for a sick appointment. read more

Should change their ad on their site, because they will not treat you like family and they do not treat animals like they're a "hospital." We live right down the street from them and our Mastiff went there for normal checkups. Our baby had an episode that came on VERY suddenly yesterday with labored breathing and our pupper wouldn't get up. We called to say we were rushing over with an ER. They refused us and said they were getting ready to close and directed us to the closest ER which was 30 minutes away. We pleaded and said our baby wouldn't make it that long. They said they're not an ER. NO COMPASSION! NOT TREATED LIKE FAMILY! Our dog died on the way to the ER. I desperately tried to do the breathing and CPR, but I'm not trained for animals (I tried to apply my training for humans.) I hope they read this and the person on the phone hurts in their heart the way that I do. Thanks read more

I live 1-1/2 miles , 3 min. from my vet . I was a 12 1/2 yr. patient of Munhall Veterinary hospital. I could not breath, I was convulsing . My family call the vet, they were told to find an emergency veterinary and take me there . I died . read more

I called them because our 4 year old dog, who is healthy, and very active, started to vomit coffee ground looking liquid(old blood) and had active bleeding from rectum as well as just had a huge full of blood stool. I was frantic. Being a nurse, I knew this was very bad. Mind you, this vet is our dog's vet. We live 1.5 miles from them. They REFUSED to see her. Couldn't fit her in! Said they would see her "tomorrow". I asked where else I could take her. They wanted me to take her to Monroeville, 9 miles, in Parkway rush hour traffic. I found a vet Emergency Hospital closer than 9 miles and we rushed her there. She had HGE, and needed volume resuscitated (IV fluids)that's how sick she was. If a dog in this condition red blood cell count goes high they go into a non clotting bleeding disorder that can't be stopped and they die. If they get so dehydrated they go into shock and die. If I would have listened and had her seen the next day, she would be DEAD. Our furbaby was very sick and it happened very fast. They are no longer our vet. I will never trust them to care for or take any furbaby member of our family there EVER. I would give them a -5 if I could. read more

Lack of communication between the front office and the Doctor since the new ownership.

Ever since Doctor Ron sold it has went down hill. My elder cat got very sick and started losing weight and couldn't walk last Friday. Got vm so left two messages to call me back for a appointment. They never even checked. By Monday my cat got way worse and they kept telling me they could only get my cat in Tuesday night. If I hadn't called first of all they would have never gotten a appointment cause they never tried to contact me. Tuesday early morning my cat passed away from the pain in my house and stopped breathing. When I called them Monday morning they said filled to capacity. They gave me a bunch of numbers for other vets that where filled to capacity. I told them the symptoms and how it said online it's a medical emergency and they ignored me. When my BF called Tuesday for me to cancel the appointment and told them to cancel the appointment those b@#$&*es at the front counter that answer the phone said well we offer crematorium services. No empathy, no compassion, horrible seeing my baby suffer like she did and she didn't have any pain medicine, they didn't even try to offer me antibiotics for her. I'll never know if she was able to be saved or not or what it was. I just buried her today. I'm switching my other cats vet after this and the trust is totally gone. read more

My cat had teeth pulled. A day later, she had an upper respiratory infection and could not eat because she could not smell as well as a blood test. 2nd visit, in which there was a possibility she could have diabetes. Then, she had a 3rd visit to redo the blood test because the previous test was somewhat iffy. 3rd visit, no diabetes. 3-4 visits, about $800 - do the math. Last I heard, they wanted me schedule another visit. Again, redo - NO! They gave medications for the 2nd visit. The first 3-4 days I did not notice any improvement. Then I added apple cider vinegar (with the mother ) twice a day. After one day of this, she vomitted once and her nose started to clear. She is now eating, perfectly fine. ACV is my new go-to. Google it and read it yourself. read more

I have taken two of my dogs here and have never had a bad experience. One of my dogs has fear aggression, and when he met Dr. Ortiz, my dog responded really well to his calm energy. He has a great way with dogs. The staff at the front desk and the vet techs have been really helpful and professional as well. I will continue to take my dogs here for excellent care. read more

They were great when my furbaby was sick and he needed to be seen that day. They gave him a couple of shots for a virus. They were very caring and wonderful with him read more

After being a loyal customer since they opened in the old house two doors away and then transitioned with the two the new building staying with them after Bezek sold I got slapped in the face when I needed them to put my 12 1/2 poodle down. They wanted 90 to hold an emergency appointment. They stated because they had so many no shows. No I understand why no shows. They can't even keep the same Vets there for more then a year. Money hungry owner that calls the shots from Somerset. He should be ashamed read more

Boooy these people are dumb. They mixed my two cat's information together then I called to get it changed and they still have it wrong. They have my cat's birthday wrong and when she's due for her vaccinations. The whole point in calling to get it changed is because it wasn't right the first time! Oh, and the male vet... pure asshole! I asked him could he get fur out of my cat's eye and he got pissy and he didn't fully examine her! He said, we just like to get the patients in and out. Um, no! And the staff is lazy. A dog urinated by the door and they just sat on their asses and they must not clean there because it's not too sanitary. Oh, and one more thing... they charge for a nail trim which they did NOT bother to tell me. Take your pet to humane animal rescue! read more

Vet suckered us into a bunch of tests for urinary issues $$$$. Only to tell us our dog had a urinary infection, which we already knew. We were there to find out why the urinary tract infections kept coming back. We knew it was something more than that being that she wasn't responding antibiotics for months, the vet (Dr. Allen) didn't think much of it. She gave us *another* bottle of antibiotics in a lesser dose than she was previously on, which is ridiculous. Charged $50 for an $8 bottle of antibiotics which would only make things worse for my dog. We were rushed out of there, treated with no patience by the tech or Dr. Allen when I questioned anything, and our dog ended up being rushed to the PVSEC at 4am, less than 10 days later, where she had to be put down due to tumors blocking her bladder completely. PVSEC could not wrap their heads around Dr. Allen NOT seeing the masses in her, which makes me wonder if they even really did X-rays at Munhall. My dog was in excruciating pain and could have been spared much of it had Dr. Allen actually taken the time to LISTEN to us or even view her xrays and ultrasounds properly. I would never go back here, and neither will anyone I know. This place needs to slow down and get it together. Might I also add, we never even got the test results back for the $150 urine culture that the vet insisted on! It's been over 20 days! Insane. read more

Ive been taking my dog, Rudy, to Munhall Vet Hospital for 3 yrs. As of August 2013, he started having seizures and by December 29th I had to put him down. It was over a weekend so I had to go to an emergency vet and pay a lot of money. When I took Rudy's little body to Munhall for cremation, they called him "Rusty" and I was very hurt. Afterall, I'd been going there once a month for 3 yrs and plus several frequent visits since he developed the brain tumor. The gal said she was sorry. I told her I knew she was sorry, but I would have appreciated if she had gotten his name right. She seemed put off. I was in grief and just thought it cavalier they couldn't remember the name of a dog they'd been seeing regularly for several years. They knew I was on my way in to drop him off, as we had just talked on the phone. He was my baby. All I had. If it were a human child, they could never get away with calling him the wrong name and all the other mistakes they made about him. When I picked up the ashes, they had him listed as less than a year old (he was 14 yrs old), weighing 8 pounds =-=he weighed 14 pounds, and they had my last name mispelled on the certificate. I understand they are busy, but customer sensitivity should be a priority. Especially with frequent familiarity and at times of death. I am shopping around for a more thoughtful vet and am planning on writing the head vet a letter about my experience. Per the other review listed here, I agree, they do rush you in and out quickly, probably missing important things in the name of haste and money. read more

Dr.Bezak is by far the worst veterinarian I've ever had the displeasure of dealing with. Being new to the area I made an appointment because I found a lump on my 10 year old cat (Miley) stomach. I came in 20 mins early for my appointment and still had to wait 45 minutes to be seen even though I was very clearly the only person in the clinic. Finally Dr.Bezak called me in, after a total of 15 min of examining Miley he told me that the lump was most likely cancer and that the best thing I could do was to "put it down because it's too old and probably wouldn't survive treatment or surgery" First of all the fact that a veterinarian some one who's job is to be compassionate about animals referred to my cat as an "it" which was slightly offensive. Second of all I refused to believe that anyone could possibly know wether or not a lump is cancerous in a 15 min examination. So after paying the 43 dollars for him to basically do nothing but offend me, I decided to obviously get a second opinion. Where I found out that the lump was benign and very simple to remove witch I did and Miley is now 12 years old and heathy as ever, no thanks to Dr.Bezak. Please if you care about your pet don't go to this clinic. read more

I took my dog to Dr. Ortiz last year. She ended up passing, but I'm 100% sure there's nothing that could have been done to save her; she had an incredibly invasive hemangiosarcoma. The only con? The clinic doesn't have extensive diagnostic equipment for complicated situations or surgeries. Other than that, this is a great place. Dr. Ortiz genuinely cared about both me and my dog. He took time out of his day, no matter what to take my calls, explain everything, and try to give me options. He was aware I couldn't afford AVets, etc., no matter how much I loved my baby. He gave her the best care, and I know she was in great hands. read more

The problem I have this experience compared to my last is that the examination lasted 3 minutes. The vet checked the ears, teeth, and nails then called it a day. I came home looked at his teeth and saw my pup had a "slab fracture" which was still attached to the gum. The vet didn't mentioned it during the "exam" other than telling me to buy a finger brush to brush his teeth. I was primarily there for a vaccination shot but if they're going to charge me for a examination, they should do a proper examination. I just felt I was rushed out of there. I took my dog to another vet where they told me about the slab fracture, gave me info on how it usually happens, potential problems that it can cause, and recommendations on ways to fix the problem. read more

We've been going to this vet for about 2 years, and today we had dr. Cox for the first time. She was wonderful! She was patient and compassionate with my two pups, and was beyond willing to listen to our concerns and give a thoughtful solution versus just rushing us out the door. Very pleased. read more

As not only pet-owners, but as dog breeders let me say - we love this place! We've heard some bad things from several acquaintances and counldn't believe our ears...Dr. Bezak is great and the staff is really friendly and helpful. read more

I had the displeasure of having my ailing pet seen by Elissa Allen, VMD. although i was warned how rude and uncaring she was my pet was dying. she was uncompassionate and could care less whether or not my pet was euthanized. the rest of the staff was nice and caring, but Elissa Allen, VMD would be better served cleaning restrooms. read more

I only allow my dogs to go to Dr. Bezak. I've had a couple Chow Chow's who a lot of vets are afraid of. Doc had a Chow himself so knew what to look out for in the breed. He has taken good care of them over the years. read more

I would recommend this facility every day and twice on Sunday. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable and the waiting room is clean and and more spacious than a lot of other local veterinary places . Most importantly the owner, Dr Stoner (not listed on the web site) is an orthopedic surgeon and our Irish Wolf hound pup had a broken leg. Avets told us 2 options, amputation or euthanize. Not Munhall Veterinary, neither was an acceptable option. The sheer size of her because she is of the Giant breed. Surgery was successful and she will have a normal life! Follow up is thorough and laser therapy is going well. He saved her life and she didn't have the tear in her leg that was I believe was reported. Caring team of physicans and staff. I have had dogs all my life but the thought of putting her down was unbearable. I'm not in the habit of negativity of other hospitals because mistakes can be made but I feel like my heart was ripped from my chest because of what Avets told us and amputation could be about 3-6k. We don't have that kind of money. Now I have a beautiful dog that should have a full and loving life. Visit their website for a full review of their services. read more

Would give zero stars if I could. I took my cat here because she was having trouble eating. The Dr tells me she was having dental issues and I needed to have her back teeth extracted. So after I paid over 100 for her visit, I was was ready to pay over another 500 to have her her teeth out. Flash forward to yesterday (2/14) I come home from work and there is blood everywhere! I call munhall vet and they tell me they are busy and will call me back. So o call Avets in monroville I get her there and the Dr tells me she actually had a mass in her tongue and has been there for a while and of course it's cancer! Dr said she was in a lot of pain and they would have to remove her tongue and she would have to have a feeding tube put in . She said the most humane thing to do is have her put to sleep. I will NEVER take another one of my animals to this vet, and I warn anyone who is looking for a new vet .. run ..run fast and hard do not take your animals/ fur babies here. All they care about is money. read more

Went to Dr. Bezak for years and had total trust in him. BUYER BEWARE as Dr. Bezak recently sold the business and the new owner needs a lot to learn. We called today regarding our lack of energy Lab. We left messages, spoke to someone on the phone five times begging for someone to call us back to no avail. We called again at 4pm and got a message that this number is no longer accepting messages. No problem though as we will take our five dogs elsewhere and our neighbor heard about this and is going to take his dog and two cats elsewhere as well. This new vet will not last long in this area. read more

I've gone to this vet for years with multiple animals and have never had as bad of an experience as I had recently. My dog was limping so I took her in on their first available appointment. As usual, the vet and the vet techs were great. They explained to me that to have my dog treated, they'd have to sedate her to get an X-ray. They gave me an estimate, asked me to sign off on it (which I did after reading and getting clarification on the charges). They also asked for a deposit, that they said would be refunded to my card when I paid the balance. Came back and picked my dog up, paid the remaining balance and again asked if I would receive the deposit back, and again I was told yes. After receiving my credit card statement and noticing it was never refunded, I call and got the WORST customer service I've ever had. I was screamed at and was told I would be sued for defamation if I put bad reviews because their office manager refused to refund the deposit on my card. I will NEVER use this vet again and make sure everyone knows how awful their pricing and office management is. read more

Just recently had my Beagle to Munhall Veterinary Hospital for the first time since Dr Bezak selling the practice and all I can say is that I will NEVER be taking her back there again!!!!! From the time I walked in they were pushing this Lyme disease shot that would end up costing me $120. Then when e went in for her check up a I asked about her paw she will limp on off and on over the t past few years he just said it sounded like signs of Lyme disease, and I should have a blood test done which I would have done had this problem not been going on for at least three years totally blew me off and didn't even check her ears!!! Awful I will be looking for a new vet after going there for over 20+ yrs it's a shame!! read more
