I have taken my cats to multiple vet clinics due to worms that the vets just can't seem to get rid of. This problem has been ongoing for about a year. We have tried multiple types of dewormer, prevention, etc. We went to Overton in hopes of some help. Dewormed all of my cats twice and kept them separated then went back for a fecal which they told us was negative. A few weeks later they continued to vomit live worms. Since this was a continuous issue we already knew they still had worms. Overton gave us a few more rounds of dewormer and told us they were fine. It's been a couple months and my cats still have worms. Aside from all of this, we have had two separate emergencies in which case overton would not take us in, check up on us, or even give us a follow up appointment. We have poured out hundreds of dollars with no help at all. read more

I have used Irby Overton since Dr. Beth was still in school. She has the same care as her dad did. Thank you Beth for taking great care of my babies. read more

I love Dr Beth and follow her between both her clinics. I have been going to her since 2001 and have never had an issue. She is very kind, caring and competent. I can't speak to the other vets there and have so far never been charged for a prescription like some of the other reviews state. Also, they have the best groomer in the Mobile area. I highly recommend. read more

Dr. Beth is wonderful, I have trusted her with my pets medical needs over the past 10 years. I have seen other vets in the practice and they have all been caring, compassionate and knowledgeable. They are always busy, so there is sometimes a wait, but to me that seems like a testament to how good they are. I know they do a ton of work with rescues/shelters in Mobile. I read the other reviews and I don't get it, I have never had a bad experience. I have had dental cleanings, spays, neuters, and euthanasias preformed at this location and never had a problem. LOVE THIS VET! read more

I cant say enough good things about the vet Beth Overton and her great staff at Irby-Overton vet hosp. I have known and been bringing performance dogs/pets to Beth since the early 90s for her great care and and understanding of the needs of the dog. The kicker to all this is I live in Pensacola,FL and on a good day with no wrecks on I-10 its about a 100 minute drive.I would not trust any other vet and crew to treat my dogs like Beth and her crew of professionals. I was just their Tues/Wed and everything went like planned and my dog is at home like her old self again today. I wish you guys were located in Pensacola,FL as MOBILE,AL is lucky to have Beth Overton and the great staff at Irby-Overton!!!!. I am positive I will see you guys soon again Thanks read more

out of towner, terrible experience. charged $281 for a 2 night boarding, called a week ahead to book and was told they would call my local vet to verify all shots. never heard anything back. I did go to the schillinger location instead of snow (their other location) by accident (could have easily driven over to snow) but they said just board there, then went on and on about shots that we needed influenza and lepto which my vet on Moores Mill in Auburn does not require for boarding. Charged a vet visit on top of that. we were in a pickle and had to pay. Would NOT recommend. the influenza was also a 2 part shot and told me to come back in 3 weeks. I think not.... read more

My husband and I take in alot of strays we get them spayed or neutered doctor them back to help if necessary and then find homes for them. So I took a kitten in to be spay with a $20 voucher from the SPCA because it's very expensive. When I called to make the appointment and told the lady on the phone that I had the $20 voucher she gave me an appointment and never told me about all the extra charges that I would incur. So when I got there with the cat they begin to tell me about all of these charges that were mandatory along with the $20 spay, even though all of our animals are on monthly flea treatments the lady told me that I had to pay for them to give the cat one of their 24 our flea pill and then I told her I didn't need any pain medicine because with all the other spay and neuter that I had plenty then I was informed that it was mandatory that I pay for extra pain meds. I just wanted it to be done with it so my $20 spay then turned into around $60. I bent down to take the collar off of the kitten that was in the cat carrier when someone brought in a dog and its spooked the cat, so she freaked out and was trying to get away from the dog I didn't have a good grip on her so she scratched up my face and head very badly and then went running to the corner of the room. I didn't realize how bad it was until I felt something running down my scalp and I looked down and there was blood literally pooling around my knees because I was still knelt on the floor. They called somebody from the back to come up to the front and I actually thought they were going to come see about me because there was so much blood that was dripping off of my face and my head and they went about checking the other people in never said are you okay or anything I stood up with my hand covering my left eye that I could feel blood and reached my hand out and said could I have a paper towel I was then given three or four paper towels and they continue to go about their day like everything was just completely normal and then one of the girls got upset because they couldn't catch the cat I started feeling the blood run down the other side of my head reach my hand out and said I need another paper towel I was handed another paper towel and then was told don't worry about cleaning the blood off the floor we'll get it. I didn't know how bad it was but I walked outside because nobody was paying any attention to the fact that I was dripping blood everywhere and sat in my car for 15 minutes waiting on my mom to come and look at my wounds to see if I should go to the hospital because there was really a lot of blood and no one ever came out to even ask if I was okay. I then get back to my house after going to the emergency room and they did tell me that they weren't deep enough for stitches but that I should get it super glued which I declined so that was on me. The only phone call I got was to see if I was going to make it back before they close to pick the cat up. And just in case anyone from the vet wants to deny this claim I will be adding pictures of my blood-soaked shirt and the paper towels they so lovingly gave me. If these two horrible women in the front desk could treat a human like this imagine how they treat your animals when you're not there and to make matters worse They literally when about checking the other people in never said are you OK or anything I stood up with my hand cover in my left eye that I could feel blood and reached my hand out and said could I have a paper towel I was then given 3 or 4 paper towels and they continue to go about their day like everything was just completely normal and then one of the girls got upset because they couldn't catch the cat I then started feeling the blood run down the other side of my head reached my hand out and said I need another paper towel I was handed another paper towel and then was told don't worry about cleaning the blood off the floor will get it. I didn't know how bad it was but I walked outside because nobody was paying any attention to the fact that I was dripping blood everywhere and said in my car for 15 minutes waiting on my mother to come and look at my wounds to see if I should go to the hospital because there was really a lot of blood and no one ever came out to even ask if I was okay. I then get back to my house after going to the emergency room and they did tell me that they weren't deep enough for stitches but that I should get it super glued which I declined so that was on me. The only phone call I got was to see if I was going to make it back before they close to pick the cat up. And just in case anyone from the vet denies this, I've added pics. I'm not saying that any of the commotion was their fault the cat simply got spooked but they treated me like I was just come on the sidewalk that they had to step over to get paid for that day. read more

Do NOT go to this vet. I had my cat spyed here and she got a serious infection, I took her back TWICE and nothing they did made her better, only worse. So I took her to the Animal ER on Gov.st and they saved my pets life because of this crappy vets mistakes. They do NOT care about your pet, much less know what they are doing. I had to take my cat to another vet and have them clean up Irby-Overtons mess. I also had 3 other vets (which will remain nameless) tell me that they see this all the time from this vet. If you love your pet DO NOT take them here!!! read more

My cat needs kidney diet food and it requires a prescription. I've spent thousands of dollars at this place for my cat since 2006 and since I decided to get kidney diet food for my cat conveniently delivered to my doorstep (a service they didn't offer at the time) via chewy.com for a cheaper price than they offered, they charged a fee for the prescription! Their reasoning being because I'm not buying the food from them. To make matters worse, after a few months they denied chewy.com's request for a refill since they hadn't seen my cat in a while. My cat is 15 years old and has bad kidneys, why in the heck would he ever come off of kidney diet food? I've already paid for the prescription one time. Do I have to keep paying for it along with your overly expensive check up fees just to get my cat the food he needs to survive? That's just mean. This place cares a good deal more about money than helping your pets quality of life. Avoid. read more

My cat has chronic kidney disease and has been getting subcutaneous fluids for the past several years. Prior to my move to Mobile, Al, his vet monitored his renal function and electrolytes, as well as, adjusted his fluids and medications as needed. When I moved to Mobile, I took him to Irby Overton Vet Clinic expecting the same type of competent medical management, however was very disappointed. Unfortunately, I am more knowledgeable about my pet's chronic medical condition and medications then the "doctors" there. To make matters worse, the vet seemed more interested in my wallet then in my pet's health. When I requested that his prescriptions be called into Walmart because they were a lot cheaper there, I got charged $6.00 per prescription just to call in the medication. I called other vet clinics in this area and no other vet charges for this. I am not sure why any vet there chose this profession, as none of them seem to even like animals. The entire staff was cold to my cat and no one could answer simple medical questions. If you love your pet, I strongly recommend staying away from this place! read more
