We have been seeing Dr. Cox for almost 5 years now and we have no intention of finding another vet in town to care for our two dogs. He has always offered kind, compassionate and wise care for our pets, and offers us more than one solution if we encounter a health issue--so he's not basing a diagnosis off of the monetary return for the clinic. We trust the staff here and everyone seems to love animals so much! Both of our dogs receive their general care here and have each had successful surgeries. Communication is very clear and our hearts of minds have been put at ease on surgery days because of personal phone calls from the veterinarian to ensure us that surgery was underway and our dog was doing well. The most recent visit for an emergency surgery resulted in a prescription for our dog, London. The staff sent us home with her medicine in a hand decorated bag--I t's really those little things that mean a lot, especially on an emotional day. read more

33.00 for nail trims and 33.50 for anal glands!! That is price gouging. Never got around to why the dog was itching. Will look for another vet that isn't trying to rip me off. read more

My pup has been seen there since she was 6 weeks old and they can't ever seam to get her in when she needs it . Seams their sick patients don't mean much to them ! We will never be back read more

North side Animal Hospital was very great with assessing my puppy's needs and were very easy to get in with! Very nice and helpful staff! Nice environment as well! read more

I switched from another veterinarian clinic in Waco as they docked me big-time financially for missing an appointment even though I had an emergency. Not only is everyone at Northside Clinic kind and attentive from receptionists to techs to veterinarians Drs. Cooper, Barrett, and Cox but they have been great about diagnoses and treatments. All have been patient as I ask my questions. Great - would not go anywhere else!! I am very happy with them! read more

September 22, 2020 I backed the car up, not realizing that my 17 year old daughter's cat was underneath. We got Garfield in the car and rushed to Northside Animal Hospital in Waco on McArther. It was a gloomy afternoon cloudy and misting, yet the veterinarian and technicians wheeled the stretcher out the back door and lined it up to the car so she could be with her pet as he was euthanized. His injuries were too much. Not only did these folks come outside while it was misting to allow my girl to say goodbye they mailed her a sympathy card. They are awesome! read more

We switched over to this veterinarians office from another veterinarians office in Waco because we could never get an appointment. They always have plenty of appointments and are very nice to us and our pets. We love Dr. Cox. The staff are always friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this veterinarians office, they provide excellent care. read more

Rude, incompetent...LAZY! Wanted to come in for an appointment. Most professionals will call and request prior records. This HORRIBLE excuse for a Veterinarian animal hospital said I have to do it because they were too busy. Hello? I am busier, but who is being paid here? I pay you to do this work. I am not being paid to email and phone other prior vets about records. A COMPLETE FAIL FOR THIS ALLEGED VETERINARIAN CLINIC! I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMNEND...TOO MANY OTHER ANIMAL CLINICS IN WACO TO GO TO!!! read more

Your website says you're a walk in clinic and appointment only on Saturday..Might want to edit your website and have better customer service. Very disappointing. People read your website and plan accordingly with their pets when you say you're walk-in. read more

One of the best vets that I've been to. They are very caring and understanding. They are willing to sit and explain the situations that may be going on with your pet. They aren't expensive like many veterinarians. When my best friend passed away they were very sympathetic and took great care of my sweet girl. read more

My dog went in for routine vaccinations. The staff was friendly and prices were great. He then went in for a dental cleaning. His teeth looked great afterwards. I would definitely recommend Northside animal hospital. read more

I was horrified when I took my new 2 pound baby puppy NAH. Not only were they incompetent to relay messages a month prior, requesting pastor Dr. Cox as my vetinarian to set me up at appointment with whom I believed would be kind as a Christian pastor. I got Dr. Cooper instead and he was rough, coarse, and not understanding of concerns I voiced. Ultimately, I was rudely told they believed I would be better served elsewhere, saying if my 2 pound puppy had a reaction, they believed I would come back and place blame on them if she had a reaction. The techs that brought my little puppy back to me were so rude and hateful. Dr. Cooper spoke to me once and didn't begin to even know me, much less predict me to be vengeance filled if she had a reaction. If you want a vet with sensitivity and kindness and respect if you have any concerns of your pet, NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE. NEVER GO TO THIS PLACE!!!! read more

I love this clinic so much. I've been taking my animals there for many years. They have become family. I couldn't ask for my pets to be treated any better. The vets, the techs, the front office, they are the best! read more

The front desk staff could use customer service training. They stay on the phone and do not pay attention to arriving customer. On my last visit (this week) I said "good morning" 4 times to 2 staff members. They never responded. The one closer to the front window merely answered "yes?". They are so rude. This is the last push I needed. They win. I will find a vet office that values their customers. If you want to be treated poorly, go there. read more

I just went to this vet for the first time. Very clean, nice office. Vet tech was so sweet! They were very helpful with the special needs of my pet. I will definitely go back again and recommend. Vet was very nice! read more

While on vacation, my dog broke his toenail which was painful for him. Dr. Cooper and the staff took great care of my fur baby and had us out of the office quickly. I highly recommend them! read more

The vets and vet techs are unbelievably kind and patient with my dogs. I have a large pit mix, and people often treat him poorly based on his appearance. The folks at NSAH always treat him so sweetly even when his anxiety gets the better of him. Pricing is fair and I can usually get an appointment the same day if necessary. They are also open on weekends. The staff have given me great advice when I have questions and are never condescending or rude. It's clear to me that everyone at NSAH has a genuine love and respect for animals and I have every confidence putting my dogs in their qualified care. read more

I took our golden retriever to this animal hospital yesterday. The vet techs were super nice and took great care of our dog. They even gave him a bowl of water with ice cubes! Dr. Cooper spent a lot of time with us. He was very thorough, professional, caring and very friendly. I made an appointment for our other dog this Friday. I highly recommend them! read more

I adopted my dog from Killeen Animal Services this past month. I brought my dog here and she had colored discharge coming out of her nose. They immediately told me that she had distemper or influenza and that either way it was a bad outcome. They gave her two weeks to live and told me I should contact the shelter to see if they could put her down. I asked if I could get a test done to test for distemper and the lady told me it was a waste of money because by the time I got the results back my dog would be dead. I looked up the reviews on Yelp and saw an almost identical story and decided to get a second opinion. The second vet I took her to said she didn't have symptoms of distemper and that all she had was an upper respiratory infection. The vet also said the lady used to work there and "there is a reason she doesn't work here anymore." If I had listened to this place my dog, who is now completely healthy, would have been put down for no reason. I would NEVER recommend this place to anyone. In fact, I will be reporting this lady! I just wonder how many healthy dogs have been put down because of her! read more

They really care. The staff is great, they take such good care of my dogs. I have one that gets sick often, and they always work us in when an emergency arises. Dr. Cox is our favorite, the techs are also so sweet and caring. read more

Finally an honest and skilled veterinarian. I went to Dr. Cox years ago, but switched to another vet because I was embarrassed for crying in front of him. After having nightmarish experiences with South Bosque and Lake Air animal hospitals, I asked if I could come back. They said it was no problem. This guy is a Christian and I believe he is or was a pastor. Wish I had not been so shy about going back. What a nightmare I have been through. I know I can trust this guy, and he keeps up with what is going on in the veterinary field. Just what the doctor orderer. Really nice guy, too. read more

I adopted my sweet dog from a shelter and a few days later she came down with a bad cough and a runny nose. I first took her to Northside, after hearing good things. The veterinarian looked her over, listened to her lungs, asked a few questions, all normal. He then quickly told me it was probably distemper and gave us medicine to help "treat the symptoms" and said if she wasn't better in three days it was most likely distemper and there wouldn't be anything else he could do and that putting her down at that point would be most humane. So the next Monday I took her to South Bosque Veterinary Clinic and they told me the "medicine" I had gotten from Northside was nothing more than cough suppressant and electrolyte supplements. My dog ended up having hookworms and kennel cough. 100% treatable and I got actual antibiotics for my girl. She's doing wonderful and definitely did not have distemper. If I had followed the directions of Northside, she would have been put down for no reason at all other than the fact that Northside did not even test her for worms, or give her actual medication to help her. Do not recommend. read more
