The staff is friendly and great, but this place has a car dealership like mentality, they're salesman first then vets after... I had to wait for a hour just for them to come and tell me that the cat has ear mites when they already knew it when I came, meanwhile they were aggressively tried to sell me stuff... read more

I unfortunately have to update my review to one star. This vet clinic was so great, until this year. We were told we legally had to give the flea meds they administer in office if they find a flea on my dog, when I stated that I had flea treatment at home, I had to argue with them to please not administer any medication I didn't clear. Medication they planned to charge $20 for, even though I repeatedly told them I flea treat them at home, and had already purchased the medication necessary to do so. Also, it's not legally required for any vet to administer flea medication. So that's BS! I also had vaccines shoved down my throat for my pet. I always vaccinate my pets, but they were trying to over vaccinate him by giving him additional boosters of a vaccine he had already had 3 of. I found a different vet, and he clearly stated that my puppy only needed the 3 boosters he had already gotten, and wouldn't be due again until his 1 year. They also charge $70 per exam, and had just done an exam 3 weeks earlier. They didn't inform me that he would not only need a 4th booster, but also another exam fee would be charged. I would have been fine paying another exam fee, if I had been informed that this was necessary. They seem to have turned into a money driven, vaccine pushing clinic. It's quite frustrating, and I am disappointed to say that I have had to move on to a different vet. read more

Frida - my min pin - and I LOVE northgate vet clinic! I started taking her there when I was living up north. I now live downtown and continue to make the trek up to take her here. They are caring, supportive, consultative, have great follow up, and understanding about a variety of circumstances . I will continue to take Frida here - even if we move elsewhere in Seattle. Frida was a rescue and has had a multitude health issues, the folks at Northgate Vet have always taken her - and my - best interest into mind. I think it speaks volumes that my dog RUNS into the office and is always welcomed with open arms. I wouldn't take Frida anywhere else. read more

Dr Baxter again went above and beyond in explaining the results of my fur baby's recent lab results. She clarified and simplified what they mean and always put the dog child's best interest at heart. She is amazing and I am so thankful and grateful that we have her to help my little peanut live a healthy happy long life read more

I won't be going back here. They are only in it for the money. They try not to explain the whole process to you and try to get you to do tests or procedures. I talked it out with the vet because I wanted to see where the treatments would lead for my dog. First we did some labs because that seemed reasonable and the vet seemed to think it could be 1 of 2 things but to confirm that we needed to do an ultrasound and a scope. I asked what he may have and she seemed hesitant to say but I got her to tell me that he may have cancer or a serious intestinal disease. Both seemed pretty fatal... so I didn't quite understand why she wanted me to spend a few grand on pointless tests. The technicians are very friendly, but I feel the Vets are just in it for the money, they try to squeeze every last dime out of you. If you go there, just be smart about your decisions, you have every right to know how or what each procedure is going to show you. read more

The more I come here, the less I like. If you're looking for a convenient place in the area to get medicine and shots for your dogs, this place will suffice. Don't expect them to be on time though, and prepare your wallet for the beating it will take during check out. You'll also need to armor up against 'recommended' add-ons and other up charges. I've come in more than once on time for my appointment and waited 30 plus minutes to be seen by the vet. On a good note, they can normally squeeze your dog in the same day if it's urgent. They also have evening hours on Wed which is nice. But, if you're dealing with an unusual problem their solution is more trial and error at your cost and less making a knowledgable guess because of breed expertise. I'm glad I'm moving, and hope to find another place that doesn't break my budget, makes their appointment time, and has just as friendly staff. read more

There's no way you can prepare for that day. You know it's coming, but when the day actually arrives, you are at a total loss of how to conduct yourself. All you know is that it has to be done, and you have to be there for it. The team at this clinic was beyond anything and everything that I could have hoped for. They were patient and understanding. They gave me and my husband all the time in the world to cope and deal with our loss. They read the energy of the room, and completely played it by ear - didn't do any unnecessary examinations, didn't ask me any unnecessary questions. They saw what was going on and immediately helped ease my and my dog's pain. I couldn't have asked or a better transition, and a better team of care professionals there for those last moments. read more

Terrible customer service. You can try and contact the clinic via text messages, email and a phone line that they never answer and never call you back. The prices have become outrageous. When my poor dog passes, I will find another vet. I've been using Northgate for almost 30 years, time to move on to someone that can actually provide timely service. read more

I want to write an update to my previous review where I gave Northgate Vet 4 stars and a "B". I am increasing this rating to 5 stars and an A. Previously, I ran into trouble because I felt that they were asking for excessive tests and I didn't like the treatment they gave my dog for his food allergy. In context, these were minor issues compared to greater, more life threatening issues dogs can face. With regards to major issues, they have always made the effort to see our dog right away, and I think that is what is most important when evaluating a veterinary clinic. Recently my dog started coughing up fluid. I didn't know how serious it could be and was willing to wait an extra day when they had time before coming in. Dr. Baxter called me back and emphasized the urgency of the problem and was willing to squeeze him in that day. We found out he had pneumonia and we were able to get him on antibiotics to treat the infection. My dog is a brachiocephalic (flat-faced) breed and Dr. Baxter's experience and understanding of the special health issues these dogs face saved us a trip to the emergency clinic and potentially saved our dog from any permanent damage. read more

21 hours ago-Edit DO NOT GO HERE. GO TO CENTRAL SHORELINE ANIMAL HOSPITAL. THEY ARE FAILING AT ADAPTING DURING THE PANDEMIC AND THEY ARE CROOKS. I had many many upsetting experiences and interactions with staff at this place and it was extremely distressing. It would take too long to go into full detail, but here are some facts. *They would have charged TWICE as much as Shoreline Animal Hospital for my dog's mast cell tumor removal. $2400 vs. $1200. (THAT IS INSANE!!) *Dr. Park didn't even come out to meet us as new customers. Only called during and after first appt, then ghosted me and had her tech do it. At our new vet the doctor came out to meet me in person and gave me as much time as I needed to ask questions. He was seriously puzzled at everything I shared about Northgate. Dr. Park literally ignored me. *There are WAY too many cooks in the kitchen. *Sherri Parker, the office manager, is absolutely TERRIBLE at talking to customers and validating them. She was awful to deal with and a horrible listener. Makes me wonder how she even got that job because she said she worked in sales for Apple and Disney...all business. She is also very very fake. *They CANCELLED my surgery (thankfully, I realize now) the day before because they were sick of dealing with me. How is that putting the animal first???!!! *They unnecessarily recommended lymph node aspiration ($140) near my dog's tumor when the closest lymph node is UPSTREAM from the growth, meaning it's not a concern. *Maddie (vet tech) seriously confused things and there was miscommunication and I was blamed even though it was on their end. *Krysten initially was helpful, then decided to stop responding to me even though she was the only one I felt I could communicate well with. Literally stonewalled and ignored. *THEY SENT BLOOD WORK RESULTS WITH CONCERNING HIGH LEVELS OF A PROTEIN THAT CAN MEAN KIDNEY DISEASE WITH ZERO EXPLANATION. Even if they were "done with me" the ethical thing to do would be to at least add a note of explanation!! *THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR DOG'S HEALTH OR THE OWNER'S COMFORT--JUST MONEY. *If you do speak to a nice phone receptionist, it's all a sugary cover for seriously messed up business practices. *They couldn't understand that I was my dog's owner and my partner's dog was his. They emailed me using his name and quoted double accidentally because of this issue. I repeatedly asked them to straighten it out and they didn't know how. Super annoying. *You will regret it. read more

My cat has been a cancer patient at Animal Cancer Specialists for the past 3 years. He had a spreading wound on his neck and after speaking to his "vet", I realized he didn't actually have a vet! Only a speacialist...SO Northgate Veterinary Clinic was recommended to me by my cats oncologist who I TOTALLY TRUST. The service was perfect. They informed me ahead of time they would probably do blood work, I explained my cat gets montly blood draws, they simply said to had it faxed over. I was able to get in same day, was seen on time, and every single person I came into contact with was incredibly nice. The vet, Dr. Baxter, took into consideration my cats age (14) his health (stable with a side of cancer) and opted to start conservative and go from there if a topical ointment and neck collar didn't solve the prob. $88.00 for an exam, collar and meds is crazy awesome! Plus, they board cats...yay! SO next vacation or next crazy neck wound, Spike and I will be heading back!!! Thanks! read more

So after having the vets at Northgate treat our beloved dogs over the course of 20 years (from even before Dr. Baxter purchased the business), we're finally done with this clinic. While I appreciate and recognize the knowledge and skill level of (most of) the vets we've had treat our dogs over the years, their sometimes-inept, ever-rotating vet techs, and the treatment overkill and exorbitant pricing, has made us finally say enough is enough. It goes way back. 1) At least a decade ago, they mixed up lab results from our dog who was clearly improving from a bladder crystal situation, only to tell us she was worse off than before - since her retest results were extreme - and, despite my saying I didn't see how that was possible since we'd done everything right and she was improving - they made us start all over on treatment by purchasing yet more meds and $$ special dog food to treat her... until my husband eventually remembered that there was another dog in the waiting room on test day with the same name as ours ("Lily" - pretty common name). I called and mentioned this and was told a mix-up really wasn't possible, even though I explained our Lily was so much better - no longer accidentally peeing on the furniture, no longer straining when she pee'd, etc. I pushed them to look into it, not really taking no for an answer. A couple days later, Dr. Baxter called me back and lo and behold - I was right. They'd mixed up the two "Lily" lab results. The only price break I received was NOT being charged for the retest after their error. 2) They will administer one vaccination, only to send you a reminder two weeks later for another vaccination that's due - rather than administering both vax at the same time. When done separately, they get to charge for two office visits. 3) Our Lily was given a complete bill of health on her annual exam (including listening to her heart) a mere 10 days before she died suddenly of fluid collected around her heart and a rare internal bleeding condition that could have potentially been treated if we'd caught it in time. She was only 11 and, up until she collapsed, still acted like a puppy. She should still be with us. 4) Spaying our new puppy and having a simple umbilical hernia removed at the same time cost us an arm and a leg because they said Zoe needed a cardiologist review (she was just 6 months old at the time) since they thought they saw something abnormal in her heart rhythm. That was a pretty penny... only to find her heart was perfectly normal. You can imagine, after having just lost Lily to a heart condition three months earlier, I immediately agreed to the extra expense for Zoe. Don't get me wrong, I am SO thankful Zoe was fine - but, we sure didn't need the added expense and worry. 5) When it came time to implant Zoe's microchip, the vet tech managed to miss the mark and my husband found the little capsule tangled in Zoe's fur that night. How hard is it to get a microchip correctly implanted? So we took Zoe back in and this time, they managed to implant the microchip (gluing the spot closed so it wouldn't "come out"), but they injected it down by her ribs rather than between her shoulder blades, so she was licking that thing with a vengeance - since she could reach it! Truly, how hard can it be? 6) When we added our second puppy Phoebe to our fur family, she arrived from the breeder with Giardia, though she presented with no symptoms. The vets (we had a few rotate, always happens there) advised us to treat both puppies just in case, even though Zoe's Giardia tests were negative. So we filled them with tubes of antibiotic liquid every day for god knows how long, only to find Phoebe's oocyst count had improved some, but still evidence of Giardia. So they had us do another round of meds, adding in additional meds for good measure, for both dogs. Zoe was still, and always, negative. At the recheck - and mind you, we'd been spraying EVERYTHING down with a water/bleach solution and washing their dishes twice daily and all their toys and bedding daily, and wiping their behinds after each poop with Chlorhexidine wipes and washing their backsides with Chlorhexidine shampoo every 2 days - Phoebe's oocyst numbers were even higher than they'd been when we started all this -- shades of Lily and her test for bladder crystals -- so they had us do yet ANOTHER round of meds for both dogs! $750 and a month and a half later, Phoebe still tested positive for Giardia oocysts with not a single symptom ever, and Zoe still tested negative, and Dr. Phillips said we should just let it run its course then, since pups typically outgrow it anyway. So we did and, as far as we know, Phoebe outgrew it. Since she never had any symptoms at any point, there was no way for us to tell one way or the other. What a waste of money and effort!! Trust me, in over two decades, there are many stories - some of them are good... but too many aren't. Enough is enough. read more

LOVE everything about this place! Front desk staff is amazing! My dog Dewey has been seen by Dr wiser, Dr Phillips, and Dr Mohamed and I have been pleased by all of them. They all have taken the time to thoroughly explain every one of my concerns. my frenchie has many health problems but they always make me feel confident in getting through the next step good or bad. I ask a lot of questions regarding Dewey and I know this can get annoying but they have always been there to answer my questions and take care of Dewey. Also the technicians that work there are so nice and compassionate when it comes to your fur babies. THANK YOU NORTHGATE VET! read more

My puppy and I visited Northgate Vet Clinic for the first time a few months ago, and I was delighted with the experience: friendly staff and lots of love for my pup and her brother. BUT almost immediately, I realized how wrong my impression had been. If I enter into a place of business for a particular service, I expect to receive the requested service- no more, no less. If additional services are required or suggested, I would expect to be told when it becomes apparent, and at the very least before they are performed. When services are performed that I do not ask for, am not informed of, and am not made aware of until after the fact, that indicates dishonesty, greed, and unethical business operation. ________________ I had chosen NVC for my pup and her brother after reading great reviews here, and calling ahead and finding out there would not be an exam fee for vaccine boosters. (I am on a tight budget as a graduate student of social work, but certainly want the best for my pup.) At the appointment, however, I was informed that it is NVC policy to charge for an exam at a first booster visit. Of course that's understandable, IF I had been informed ahead of time so that I could have found a more affordable option. After getting the run-around from Dr. Baxter, Emily, and the front desk (none of whom seemed to communicate with one another), I left without vaccines given. After more phone calls, NVC agreed to comp our exam fee if we would return. No harm, no foul. Or so I thought. We were assured that an exam was only needed at this first visit. But after taking the pups in for their second vaccines weeks later I was informed only after paying the bill and requesting an itemized printout (I had to ask for it), that I had been charged for another exam for each pup. After another 20 minutes (and nearly $50) of being patronized with contradicting explanations, they told me that NEXT time I brought in the pups for their final vaccine, I wouldn't pay an exam fee, which they do apparently require. After calling several times to schedule and clarify that this next visit would be for rabies only, no exam, I find upon paying the bill that I have been charged for rabies and another unnecessary vaccine! The receptionist assures me with a smile that "a fourth shot can't hurt," while Emily tells us that this one-year vaccine (given when they're four months old??) is required. There had been no mention of this vaccine over the phone, and no clarification that they were administering something we had not asked for. ________________ If miscommunication or confusion happens once at clinic, I can understand. Even a second time. But after three experiences with crooked vets and employees, I am genuinely sickened that Northgate Vet Clinic is still in operation. Not only have they acted unethically, but they have taken advantage of me as a customer who had expected the veterinary clinic to abide by their promise of "providing compassionate care with the highest standard of veterinary medicine." read more

I've been taking my dog (Tony, 12yr old Pomeranian) and my cat (Chloe, 4yr old Egyptian Mau) to see Dr. Baxter since I moved to Northgate a year and a half ago and have really been happy. Chloe's just had two annual appointments and booster shots, but Tony's been there for all sorts of things: senior wellness appointments, shots, treatment for tracheal collapse and associated coughing/wheezing, one episode of unexplained GI distress, arthritis, and compressed vertebrae. Dr. Baxter always takes time to explain what she thinks is going on and answer questions. She's also good about finding a treatment plan that will work for you and your pet at home. She tends to add on tests that may be unnecessary (lots of radiology and things like T4 levels when my dog is asymptomatic for thyroid issues) but she'll explain her rationale and quote an estimate if you ask for one. The front office staff and vet techs are great, especially Will who always seems to be answering the phone when I call with medication issues. Everyone on staff has been friendly and obviously loves animals. Scheduling has never been an issue, and I've been able to get a same-day appointment a couple times. The only drawback is the cost of things other than the exams themselves (which are $50). Meds are REALLY expensive ($23 for 5 Rimadyl pills at NG vet vs. $29 for a 30-day supply from National Pet Pharmacy) and additional tests will add up quickly, so always ask for a reason and an estimate before you give them the go-ahead. read more

To start - this office did a great job on our pup's palate and nares surgery, and I have no complaints there. They were highly recommended by a Seattle area pug group so we were happy to see Dr. Baxter and Dr. Mohammed. We were first time puppy parents and (as many are), overcautious to ensure that we were doing a good job to take care of our new family member. We probably spent over $10k a year at this place running tests that were probably unnecessary. Rather than calming our concerns as I am sure we had many that did not require veterinary attention and testing, they were happy to take our money. Finally I got sick of driving so far to bring our pup to the vet that I started going to Urban Animal downtown and we have had an extraordinary experience with them, and not breaking the bank. This is a good vet, but I feel like they care as much about making $ as they do caring for your pet. read more

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Northgate Veterinary Clinic! My senior dog had a medical emergency and needed exploratory surgery. Going to an Emergency Vet was not an option for us due to the cost, so Dr. Hazard, Sara, and Maddie volunteered to stay late (until nearly midnight) to perform the surgery and wait until he was recovered enough from the anesthesia. I cannot thank them enough for their kindness and their care of our sweet dog who is nearing 10 years old and our 3 yo son adores! They turned what could have been a devastating day for our family into a story about human kindness and compassion. We have been taking our dog here for 6 years and will be lifelong customers. Thank you again to the fabulous staff who went above and beyond! read more

This is going to be long, because I love Northgate Vet. Also this happened over a year ago and I didn't realize I failed to finish the review. I first brought my eleven year old kitty here because she was losing weight and not eating much. Dr. Phillips listened to all my concerns, explained everything, and did all the exams. A few months later, I set my furbaby up for a dental cleaning. During the preceding exam, they felt a mass in her stomach. They immediately called off the procedure and called me. We had to run multiple tests to find out what was going on (we never did find out what exactly the problem was), but long story short, she had surgery to remove the mass a few days later and then passed away shortly thereafter. When I think back on that time, I'm really embarrassed. I cried a lot, asked the same questions over and over, and cried some more. I visited my kitty every day she was hospitalized and sat in the middle of the hospital for an hour or more baby-talking to her. I came early before they opened to visit on the day of her surgery. But I wasn't embarrassed back then--because they made me feel like it was all ok. All the staff and doctors were so understanding and accommodating. It was a heartbreaking time, but the clinic was wonderful. They kept in excellent contact. While my kitty was hospitalized, they called every morning with a detailed update. Every time something changed, no matter how small, they called to let me know. Dr. Phillips always took the time to sit down and go over exam results and explain everything. I can't overstate how wonderful he was during such a crappy time. He never, ever made me feel like I was overreacting or taking up too much of his time. After my kitty passed and I came by to pick up her ashes, we had an in-depth discussion of what happened. It wasn't until I left that I realized the clinic had closed forty-five minutes ago. I agree with the other reviews that the clinic is relatively expensive. But it was all money well-spent. I don't regret a single penny that went into my kitty's care (and there were quite a few pennies), because of how wonderful the staff at Northgate Vet were. All procedures and reasons for tests were fully explained, they never pressured me, and they were honest with their opinions and advice. Despite my firm declarations of never getting a pet again, I now have a kitten. We live in Renton now, but our kitten is still a patient at Northgate Vet. read more

So pleased to have found a new primary vet in North Seattle. Friendly and thorough services. Highly recommend.

The staffs are super friendly but you will realize soon enough everything what they offer will cost. I took my dog for allergy and had to through all the tests (fecal test for allergy? I am not a vet, but sounds not related) and ended paying $500. The medication I payed first time was $3.27 / tablet,and asked more for a refill then I payed $ 4.15 / tablet. It is quite impressive the tablet's price went up so much within a month. They are friendly but they will eat your money. Overall, just can't trust them anymore. By the way, a vet near this place charged only $2.47/tablet ... the locations are 2 miles apart. Hello? read more

Northgate Vet Clinic is the best place to take your furry family for their health care. All the staff from the receptionists to the veterinarians truly love and care for animals.

I only write reviews on places that impress me and this was definitely one of them. We just moved here from Montana and are alway nervous to find our English bulldog a new vet. Louie is rather high maintenance and it is hard to find a vet that can treat this breed. Dr. Hornickle did such a great job of diagnosing him and actually took the time to do a thorough exam. From the minute we entered the door the staff was very friendly and the service was excellent. We didn't wait long before we were already back into an exam room. The office called later that night to tell us the results of samples taken and a follow up email with detailed instructions from the visit followed shortly after that call. The price was very affordable and the shampoos and medications were not overpriced(like they usually are at a vet). This place was great and the people who gave this one star were obviously having a horrible day themselves. I highly recommend taking your pet here, you will not be disappointed. read more

The minute I walked in the door I felt welcome. I was impressed by the knowledge and efficiency of the technician. The doctor was very thorough and very nice to my little girl. Although I went for something specific his exam resulted in his prescribing treatment for her skin issues that I have spent a lot of money on with no resolve. After giving her the pills and using the mousse on her sore areas, she has showed a miraculous improvement. It's been less than a week. I am so grateful to Dr. Phillips for his recommendations. i thank my longtime neighbor and friend for the referral to this clinic. read more

Extremely rude customer service. Asked for ballpark estimates of dental cleanings, and despite emphasizing that I just wanted to know what some past fees looked like at various severities, was treated rudely that they simply can't give that, misleading at best and otherwise deceitful. Worse however was how they treated a prospective new client. read more

I love the doctors and staff at this clinic! Dr. Baxter is phenomenal. I have been taking my pets here for over eight years and have always been amazed at their care for me and my pets. I am the proud owner of two English bulldogs which are known for there demanding health conditions. Dr. Baxter really understands their unique needs and gives the best care to my two girls. She listens and truly cared about her patients. She has be very supportive and patient during each of the many health issues that my bulldogs have suffered. She is absolutely fantastic and I would not think of taking my 'kids' anywhere else. read more

Because of misdiagnosed symptoms at Northgate Veterinary Clinic, my beloved cat of 5 years is now dead. When bringing in my cat in for the first time, I was concerned about his bladder; his urine seemed to have trouble passing and his lower belly was severely swollen. I also have a German Shepherd, we bring them in at the same time. When checking out , someone ( I don't know who) gave us medicine for our dog, however when reading the prescriptions we noticed there was nothing there for my cat, after extensive urine work and overnight stays you cant tell me whats wrong with my cat? I questioned the receptionist about it and she simply replied "we'll give you a call when Mr. Bubba's diagnoses is completed" . . . . . OK? we never got that call. 2 weeks later i was rushing my cat to a emergency room in lake city at 2:30 am. He had severe urine crystals and was bleeding internally. we had no choice to humanly euthanize him after at least $3000 damage done by this place They later had the audacity to send us a sympathy card, needles to say I burned it. do not bring your cat or dog here. they overcharge and do not care for anyone or anything except money. rest in peace bubba . . . . read more

The staff is terrible at communication and will prolong treating a pet for their illness because of this. First they held my dog past closing time after telling me that he would be good to go in 2 to 3 hours since he was there for testing. If I didn't repeatedly call and text I don't know that I would have been able to bring him home that night. There was never any agreement or reason to hold him for 24 hours and I was told that this was an accident and they forgot to let me know he can come home. The next complaint is that the doctor told me that she would prescribe my dog medication for his pneumonia within 24 hours if I wasn't able to get him an appointment for internal medicine. I called 24 hours later and asked for them but was told that there was no prescription on file for him. Front desk told me they would relay the message to the doctor.I received a response a few hours later,right before closing time telling me that the doctor was waiting for me to tell her that I need the prescription before ordering it in.We already discussed the night before that I would call and let her know in the morning if my dog needed his medication. It makes no sense at all that the response to me requesting medication would be "we were waiting for you to ask" followed by not ordering the meds.Why would I call and ask for them if I didn't want them?We both already established that it isn't easy to get an appointment in with internal medicine and that I want his medication immediately if I couldn't get an appointment with them. Now we will be waiting an additional 24 hours because they wouldn't fill the prescription when asked. read more

Love the care provided by this veterinary clinic. All of the veterinarians are caring and extremely knowledgeable. When it was time to have my adored cat put to sleep Doctor Baxter and her assistant came to my home. My Casey did not have to suffer the terror of a car ride and a visit to the office. Instead he lay peacefully cuddled in my arms wile he gently went to sleep, away from all pain. It was a wonderful experience for this painful event. My only criticism is the expense of the care. They have attempted to lower costs on some services, which I appreciate. I would highly recommend them. read more

Ive been taking my dogs here for years but Ive finally reached my limit after spending $10,000 in one year for my 2 dogs. They want to test all the time for everything no matter what I say. I adore the staff and Im sad but I just cant afford them anymore read more

We do love this vet even as we grieve the passing of our beloved 15 year old dog. They are so good....kind and compassionate. Like most vets, they will give you the list of everything that might be beneficial for your pet, with costs, but there was never any pressure. We are grateful for the way they loved our Pancho and cared for him in his last moments. read more

They were able to fit me in for a same day appointment and Dr.Sarvi was super helpful and kind. 10/10 would recommend!

I took my new cat in because she was very sluggish and sneezing a lot. She had just come from a shelter, so it was normal to expect an upper respiratory infection. The vet, Dr. Park, was really caring and kept calm, however the technician was very frantic, pushy, and frankly not helpful when explaining the diagnostic and treatment options. I feel as though I was being swayed to spend more money on unnecessary tests (that ignored her symptoms and likely URI diagnonsis) and felt taken advantage of during a time when emotions were high. I was sent home with the wrong supplements and not enough antibiotic to last the duration of her prescription, and ended up having to go back to the clinic two extra times after my initial visit. I can't say enough good things about the front desk staff and Dr. Park, however I would suggest finding a place that will do it right the first time and save you time and money. read more

I found this wonderful place by accident when I rescued a sweet dog racing through rush hour traffic at 132nd and 15th Ave NE. They were kind enough to scan the pup to see if he had a chip since there was no license tag. This terrific dog had no chip. (I was able to find the owners....in Omak! via Craigslist. Did tell them they need to get a license and chip. The next person might just keep their dog.) Months later, I got my own puppy and knew the right vet to choose for her. The staff here is so awesome! They all love Cookie and she loves them! Cookie sees Dr. Smalley and I could not be happier with her care. We will be going to Northgate Vet for many years to come. read more

Update: Dr. Baxter called the week I posted this and made things right. She apologized for the way I was treated and offered a sizable discount that accommodated my budget. I appreciated her taking the time to repair the hurt feelings and I'm willing to move on and give NVC another chance. I have a puppy that is less than a year old. I took him to NVC for his first check-up. Things went really well, the vet was friendly, and I eventually scheduled my pup's neutering appointment a few months later. When he was neutered they removed some baby teeth that hadn't fallen out yet. I thought it was great that they were trying to prevent this from being an issue later on. The appointment was about $500. It I felt like it was worth it because I was killing two birds with one stone. I went in today to do a follow up on his teeth and they told me he needed to go back under to get more taken out. It will cost roughly another $500. I asked why didn't they take them out the first time? Then the assistant told me she could go ask the vet. She came back 5 minutes later and said they weren't in all the way at the time. Then I asked could the last surgery have been postponed so I didn't have to pay twice? She said she didn't know, and said she could go ask the vet. I told her I was very upset about this. I started crying purely out of frustration. It felt like I wasn't being taken seriously due to all the running back and forth between her and the vet. She said that it wasn't a good idea to keep the baby teeth in and I told her I wasn't deciding on that, I was deciding if I was ever going to come back. I left super upset. I feel like they were taking advantage of me and could have prevented this. I was so irritated the vet couldn't take 5 minutes to talk to me when I had an appointment with him. I ended up sitting in the waiting room for over 40 minutes. I will never go back and am very disappointed in their lack of customer service by Dr. Phillips. The one good thing I have to say is that the woman at the front desk was very friendly as were a couple of the other employees that were around. They were very sweet to my dog and NVC are lucky to have those people working there. read more

Called this morning (3/26/21) to see if we could have our Beagle seen on 3/27/21. Urgent need to us, not so urgent to Northgate. You can't tell me they couldn't find 15 minutes to see him. Pushed us to Monday at 5:30 PM. Northgate, we've been using you for a while now, but your stock dropped several points today. read more

This was the best experience at a vet we have ever had. We recently had to say goodbye to one of our cats and went to almost every vet in the area. Had we known of Dr. Nordeen and the team at Northgate we would have gone to them. The whole atmosphere was amazing with the fermion towels available and the kind staff. They even have a quiet room with its own entrance. Free treats available too! We have used so many vets for our 4, now 3, cats; they were the most thorough, kind and educated we have seen. Our one kitty, who is normally a terror at the vet, was very calm thanks to Emmanuel and Sara the techs. We are sorry you got pooped on. They even made sure we knew pricing before hand to ensure it fit our budget. Thank you so much you! read more

Great place to bring a cat or a dog! It's generally quiet and people are very friendly.

This is our vet for our 4 month old puppy. I called quite a few vets before we chose one, and decided on Northgate because the person who answered the phone was so friendly. It has been that way ever since. The staff is so nice and loves to talk about their dogs and our puppy. It is a great atmosphere and a really nice clinic. There prices seem very reasonable compared to that of other vets in the area if not a little less, and even if it was a little more it would be well worth the cost. Our pup is getting neutered next month, so I cannot say anything yet about how good the vets are, but they are nice, seem very knowledgeable and caring, and I love the staff. :) read more
