    We've been patients at VCA Ben White for the past 10 years and I cannot say enough great things about the team there, especially Dr. Garza and Dr. Yen. They genuinely care about the animals they treat and have great compassion. They saw me through the last years of my beloved cat Pogo's life and helped me prolong his life to give me 18 years with him, as well as a dog attack on my cat, a parvo scare with my puppy, and most recently some health concerns with my other cat who is now 14. I trust the treatment my pets receive at VCA Ben White and highly recommend them.

    Well, theres a lot of bad reviews, but I have no complaints. We have been there several times, with no issues. But this time was different. Our Boomer had given up the fight on old age and seizures. It was late in the day when Boomer passed. One call and I felt very at ease, I knew things would be taken care of.....and they were. We had Boomer cremated and they took care of that too. Thanks for being there when we needed.

    Ollie was super excited to leave the vet hehe!

    So I'm super critical when it comes to my dog! So please forgive the super long review. Customer service: So after researching and flipping through reviews, I called this place to set up an appointment. Unlike thrive (which is cheap yes) this place can get you in literally the next day while thrive takes 3-4 weeks to be seen. Overall the staff was very nice. Everyone greeted me and took care of me pretty quickly. The only issue I have is through the phone. Maybe it was the person who picked up my phone call ( June 23rd at around 7:30 AM), but she did not list my phone number and did not spell out my dogs name correctly when I repeatedly spelled it out slowly for her. I didn't catch that until I received the email confirmation and the front desk lady told me that my phone number was missing in their file. Like I said, I'm very critical and it just shows off first impression! Other than that everyone is very respectful and calm. Waiting area: It's pretty big with lots of seating! There are two sides so if your dog is rowdy it's ok! You definitely can have a spot to yourself in the corner since there's lots of seating. Vet: I had Dr. Garza, she was very nice and super informative. She is honest and carefully told me what needed to be done as well as gave me options to approach my dogs infection aggressively or not. I really like how she presented herself, but I feel like you can't go wrong with either doctor's. I probably would prefer to be seen by Dr. Garza for every visit. Cleanliness: I am a very clean person and I personally work in a doctor's office so I know how important it is to keep things clean. I didn't really see any major stains or anything in the entire place. The holding room was pretty clean, I did see some left over dog fur on the counter, but other than that it's pretty clean. Price: I am an ex-college student so I'm pretty sure I'm super poor from my student loans lol. I paid $69 for some antibiotics and a genta spray for my dogs staph infection. It was my first visit so the office fee was waived. I don't think the price was that bad, austin veterinary center has the same prices for those type of medications too. The price is probably a solid medium range. It's not cheap as emancipet but it's not crazy expensive as the firehouse vet place. I personally think it's pretty fair. Overall I really like this place. I hope to use them in the future as my established vet care. I definitely love it that they open on Saturday's because I work full time and don't have the time to take off work to have my dog seen. At first I was intimated by the one star reviews they had here, but honestly I experienced a pretty solid 4.75 star experience!

    Garza listened to my concerns about Abby's anxiety issues rather than just blowing me off like the previous vet had done.

    I had a great first time experience…read more I spoke to Alexis on the phone a couple times and she was really fast, efficient, and friendly. Connor, the vet tech, followed suit, and was really great. What really stood out is that we got in quickly and we were given a balanced approach to treatment. Dr. Rob walked me through his treatment rationale. We had a real discussion about the best course of treatment instead of the typical take-it-or-leave-it approach you get at most facilities. It's hard to find vets who collaborate with you as a member of the treatment team instead of copy-pasting a protocol and sending you on your way. The pricing was fair as well. I really appreciated the care and attention we got. Been to a lot of vets, this one stood out.

Unlike some of our experiences with other veterinarians in Austin, we never feel rushed. We truly appreciate the care and attention he gives to both us and our cat Reishi. Dr. Rob performed oral surgery to remove several of Reishi's teeth. It was the first major surgery we had experienced with her. He was extremely patient with our questions, took wonderful care of her, and guided us through the entire process. Reishi healed very quickly and had no postoperative complications, which we were especially grateful for after hearing about friends whose pets experienced infections and other issues following similar procedures elsewhere. Recently, Reishi had a cancer scare after an alarming initial assessment at an emergency vet. We were quite stressed. When we brought her to see Dr. Rob, he first acknowledged what we had been through and made us feel heard and cared for before discussing the next steps. He even emailed us with test results and next steps while he was on a family vacation, which showed us how deeply he cares about his patients. Fortunately, further testing showed that Reishi did not have cancer. Going through such a stressful experience felt much more manageable knowing that Reishi was under Dr. Rob's care. He is compassionate, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in both his patients and their families. Unfortunately, we are moving out of state and will have to find a new veterinarian. We truly hope we can find a clinic as wonderful as ATX Animal Clinic. It is the best veterinary clinic we have ever had, and we are incredibly grateful to Dr. Rob and the entire team.

    My cat was recently diagnosed (at a different vet) with a somewhat rare parasite (Tritrichomonas),…read moreand I was having a hard time finding a vet I felt confident in. My usual vet, who we have been seeing since adopting the cat almost 2 years ago, rudely dismissed my concerns over the phone and insisted that I needed to pay an $80 office visit fee just to get an answer to my question over the phone (the question was "What does the PCR panel test for?"). I started calling every other vet in Austin to find a clinic that has experience with Tritrichomonas and that I felt comfortable with. Several clinics admitted that they did not know what the parasite was or had never treated it before. Another lied and said "oh, that is super easy to treat and really common and straightforward!" which I knew was not accurate from the empirical literature online. I finally found Austin Urban Vet and the experience we have had so far has genuinely been night and day different from pervious clinics. From the very first call, the AUV team was empathetic to our situation, VERY transparent about pricing (they provided it in writing), and explicitly clear about which PCR diagnostic panel they use at AUV and exactly what it tests for. They were open and honest about their experience with Tritrichomonas and I immediately felt at ease and confident in the care that they could provide my cat. After chatting with my partner about my findings from calling almost every vet in Austin, we both agreed Austin Urban Vet was the best one to move forward with, so we made an appointment. Right off the bat, I was happy to find that AUV has a private parking lot (for free!). I headed inside with my cat and the team at the front desk was so kind and helpful. They quickly checked me in and invited me to grab a bottle of water or make myself a cup of coffee as I waited for the tech to take us into the room. We waited for maybe ~5 minutes before the tech took us to the exam room, where she scanned my cat for her microchip, weighed her, and asked questions about the presenting problem, history, etc. Dr. Helen was who attended us for the exam itself, and she was so kind and thorough. I really felt that she was providing genuine feedback, and she was honest about her experience with this parasite. She was transparent about the treatment plan and let me know her general thoughts (Ie., "If she is still positive, we will do X. If she is negative, we can try Y.") We are now waiting for the PCR results, but so far, I am so happy with our experience and feel confident that Dr. Helen will provide us with the best care possible.

SOUTH PARK ANIMAL HOSPITAL is now owned by a VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM called National Veterinary Associates, which in turn is owned by JAB Holding company, JAB has tripled in size since it started buying up vets and charging confiscatory prices, taking advantage of our love of our pets. I gave them two stars because at least they did my cat right and he's fine now. BUT they started burying me in pitch emails too, trying to feed fear about my cat's health, constantly trawling me for more money, more money, more money, all while pretending to care about my cat when they don't. If the people at South Park Animal Hospital really loved animals as much as they love MONEY, they wouldn't have sold out. But they did. I will never go back and suggest you don't start.
