Dr. Brinkmann is exceptional and so is his office staff. I my dogs primary care today after he eye appointment and they basically told me it's an emergency and they can't help her. There's barely any pet ophthalmology services open on a Friday evening and Dr. Brinkmann took us. He is knowledgeable and heart lead. He went above and beyond. Not only did I find an answer and assistance, but I found comfort. read more

I want to start off by saying some positive things about my experience. First, this office was able to make an appointment for my dog sooner than any other ophthalmologist could. And the receptionist/aid was sweet to my dog. I did not find her to be rude like the other reviews suggested. In my first visit, Dr Brinkman was delayed in seeing me for personal reasons, and he acknowledged and was appreciative of my patience - very nice. Dr Brinkman is very knowledgeable and thorough in explaining the problem and how to fix it. For the task required to help my dog, he was competent. I believe he is a capable animal ophthalmologist. Now, here are some things the office needs to work on. When you open the door to the clinic, the door has some jagged washer type things screwed into the door - looks like a handle broke off - it snagged my clothing. Imagine what it will to to a persons skin. That's an easy fix. The receptionist said I was the first to mention it, so hopefully it will get done. The exam rooms need a cleaning from floor to ceiling. I have never been in a veterinary facility so unsanitary. Again, should be an easy fix. Hire someone to keep the clinic clean. Speaking of the exam rooms, during my first visit, I was placed in room 1 by the receptionist, and then the receptionist told the next dog family to go to room 1 as well. Luckily the other dog family was aware I was in there, otherwise it might have resulted in a dangerous confrontation with dogs. I have no idea how they could prevent that in the future, but I'm sure clinics have ways. Now, there are some charges that I did pay for, but I should've disputed them. One was the cost of the pressure test. I'm not sure why my dog needed one but I guess it's just part of the initial exam... whatever. But the receptionist/aid couldn't get my dog to cooperate during the test on her injured eye (obviously) so she said she'd have the doctor do it. He didn't do it, but I was charged for having both eyes pressured tested. My dog needed a debridement because the ulcer in her eye was not healing properly. That required an anesthetic to numb her eye. I had to drop it in myself while I waited on the doctor. I was charged $90 ($45 twice) for maybe 8 drops of used, unsanitary, expired anesthetic that I had to administer myself. Then the doctor came in and performed the debridement with about 3 or 4 swabs dipped in some solution, and I was charged $35 for the swabs alone. That is an outrageous price for Qtips. And they weren't even in a sealed package. Thankfully, the procedure worked! I was honestly worried that more harm than good would come from that visit. I really do appreciate that Dr Brinkman was successful in helping my dog, but should I need an ophthalmologist in the future, I will probably go elsewhere. read more

Brought my dog in for anisocoria a few weeks ago. Dr brinkman and his tech (who was wearing no shoes? I'm All about comfort, but you better be THAT good if you're about to walk in to treat my dog shoeless). Was charged $250 for a series of "tests" all of which were inconclusive. Dr. Brinkman was stumped and asked us to come back in a week. When we came back, he ran a lot of the same tests he had already run and still said he didn't know what was wrong but recommended a tear duct flush for an estimated cost of $800 (!?!). He also said he couldn't do it for another five days so we would have to wait. The tech let me know that I could call her if my dogs eye worsens and gave me her cell phone number. After coming home, her eye got way worse and was almost completely swollen shut with green discharge coming out of it so I text the tech. Her response was that I could take her to my regular vet the following day. What is the point of giving someone your info as an emergency contact if the person is having an emergency and you won't help? I wasted around $400 to find out absolutely nothing and for her eye to get worse. This place is not worth it and caused us more damage and stress than before we came in. read more

Veterinary Ophthalmology Service - Her eye 10X worse after leaving - Veterinarians Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Wow! This place really live up to its reputation for having the rudest staff ever! All the bad reviews about the rude staff were true, from receptionist to tech staff especially that office manager. They're all old and jaded and act like they're the best and the only animal ophthalmologist in town. I've been to so many vet hospitals in different states/cities in my life and have never encountered such rude staff. They acted as if they are doing us favors and we're there for free consult/surgery. Of all 3 ophthalmologists in Vegas, this place charge the highest consultation fee ($280) and the staff has the audacity to be rude to customers. I gave it a benefit of a doubt even after reading all rude staff reviews here and still made an appointment to see Dr Brinkman because he's more experienced and in person he's really friendly, knowledgeable , super nice and helpful. I don't understand why he still keep these staff around to continue making his business look bad. After the consultation, we were really convinced to let him do the cataract surgery for our dog and immediately made pre-op appointment. Not sure if everyone here just write bad reviews but didn't tell Dr Brinkman about his rude staff nor confronted the staff but I did. Hopefully he'll do something about these old jaded staff who probably been working there 100 years and will never get fired. The rude staff reviews were dated since 2016 but they're still working there, no action was ever taken to improve customer service. This place will lose lots of business if nothing change soon, especially with current newer modern ophthalmology centers with higher tech equipments and customer service oriented. read more

Dr. Brinkman was super helpful with my dog who had an undiagnosed skin tag on his eye lid that was causing his corneal ulcer. He explained everything in detail, drew pictures- basically broke it down so we understood every aspect of what was going on. I love that. During follow ups, same thing. The phone calls I got- from the doctor himself. He was knowledgable and professional. The doctor in this office is great. The office staff, however, is awful. Not necessarily the receptionist up front- but the nurse who checks the dog in- is probably one of the rudest people I have ever known. She is a nasty lady with very little patience. Her answers to me were condescending and offensive. I witnessed her even be crude to the receptionist up front on several occasions. Read the other reviews, there are similar comments. If you can get past that obstacle, the doctor is great. The prices are competitive and my dog is doing fantastic. Isn't that what matters in the end? read more

I was referred to Dr. Brinkmann by my regular vet for eye care services. Upon the referral, I scoured Yelp and noticed mediocre to good reviews, mostly pertaining to office staff being terse and not warm and fuzzy. Did that cause some pause in me? Sure, but I wanted another opinion about my pup's condition and made the appointment based upon the good reviews about Dr. Brinkmann from my vet and the comments here. As I walked into the building, it felt more calm than other animal hospitals. Was the interior a little dated? Sure, but it's fine. There are items for purchase either for charity or just normal sales, as well as a board for business cards should you have one to advertise. I'm down for the networking. Anyway, so I'm ready to go toe to toe with the front desk given the comments here, but no such luck! We were greeted, asked to weigh our pup, and completed the paperwork. Was reception warm and fuzzy? No, but they were not mean nor unprofessional. There is an expression from my boyfriend who is from back east, that people from back east are kind, not nice. Meaning, if he sees you're cold, he'll throw a coat on you, and be on his way, instead of exchanging pleasantries. I got that same vibe with reception, which I appreciate. We then got into an exam room, which was a bit dated, but I appreciate the transparency as they did the exam while we were sitting there. I was able to interact with both Dr. Brinkmann and staff/reception while the exam was happening. I cannot say enough positive things about Dr. Brinkmann. He was patient, knowledgeable, knows how to read the room, and put us at ease. He gave us the news in an honest, yet compassionate manner. I shared that what he diagnosed with our pup was the same as another VO, but felt a little rushed with the last VO. However, Dr. Brinkmann's explanation/exam and time made a difference, despite the same diagnosis. Upon my exit, reception kindly checked us out, and we were on our way. I had been to large, state of the art animal hospitals in the valley, but I will say the care provided here is just as competent if not more than those places. I'd recommend VOS and Dr. Brinkmann and staff :) read more

I made an appointment for my dog to schedule cataract surgery. I was very specific that I would definitely want it done based on good test results of course. I went in for the consultation and at the end of the +$350 appointment with no pre cataract testing I was told their Phaco machine was broken and wouldn't be able to do the procedure. I certainly would have appreciated the information BEFORE I went in for the appointment! It took awhile to get another appointment somewhere else but my dog is a week post operative and seeing again. Nice people but I felt not telling me before was extremely deceptive. read more

Several requests for who me and my dog are now seeing for her eye issues since I posted my review. She remains completely blind since her right eye retinal detachment of December 2018 from the trauma of the original surgery and after the left eye enucleation required after the same 2016 surgery that produced severe glaucoma and never resulted in vision in that eye. Eye Care for Animals, Dr Chris Smith and his wonderful and competent staff at 702-795-3937 have managed the situation since. If I had to do it all over again there is a chance I'd have let her stay blind with her diabetic cataracts given that the surgery may not be successful given that dogs can adjust to this disability and experiencing the trauma and care she requires even now that she can't see at all. But I wish I had started with Dr Smith at Eye Care for Animals Good luck to all read more

Dr. Brinkmann and his staff have been outstanding in their care of and generosity of resources for a rescue kitten in my foster care. Sweet little Stevie Wonder (aka Sahara) we thought had permanently lost all vision in both eyes due to a severe upper respiratory infection and virus that ruptured both his eyes before being properly diagnosed by Dr. Brinkmann. Once being diagnosed, our goal was to save his eyes from having to be removed and to reduce any pain through a daily regimen of cleansing the eyes, medications and lubricants. Then, with what has seemed like a miracle, within 3-4 weeks he has gained some eyesight back in both eyes and has become a candidate for surgery to remove scar tissue to gain additional vision. There's no sign of the original virus or infection. No sign of pain. He is a happy, energetic kitten who has integrated into my household with three other cats seamlessly. He's fearless and gets around the house as if he has 20/20 vision!! The moral of my review is never give up hope and follow Dr. Brinkmann's recommendations. (I've put the drops in 3x a day as suggested !!) Thank goodness for Dr. Brinkmann and is caring and compassionate staff who got us on the right healing track. Stevie is SO worth it!! We will be forever grateful for their help. Dr. Brinkmann is the BEST eye specialist in town!! read more

Great staff. My 14 year old chihuahua mix has very poor eyesight but the treatment prescribed by Dr Brinkman has turned her health around and made her quality of life much better read more

If the Dr. says, no way except for removal of the eye or it can spread to the brain and your dog would die painfully, please you have to walk away this hospital and get the 2nd and 3rd opinion elsewhere. 2 year old puppy had encountered same situation and the Dr. said only miracle could save her eye but too late. But she has recovered her sight perfectly with LVVSC. What would happen if the owner followed this much experienced looking veterinarian, and his speaking with conviction. The 2nd opinion was, her inside of the eye was no problem but only serious corneal issue there so the 3rd eye lid flap surgery would help her eye. The owner did it and the puppy did self-treatment with the help of the 3rd. eye lid flap. The new Dr. considered the puppy's age, yes, she was only 2 years old so he examined it closely. But the first Dr. did not any examination thoroughly . He depended on only his experience. The owner wants to give publicity to many pet owners. Very dangerous if any Dr. just depends on his or her intuition and experience without examination . Please get the 2nd and 3rd opinion and do not give up just to save the small amount. Our children and pet are the same thing to us. I am writing this review not to blame the Dr. but to save your family. read more

Dr. Brinkman (1914 E Sahara Ave, Las Vegas, NV 89104) and his receptionist, Karen are WONDERFUL!!! From the moment you walk in, Karen is so sweet and helpful. Dr. Brinkman is very thorough and very knowledgeable! My only complaint is with his Nurse. She is rude and very rough with my dog. read more

Veterinary Ophthalmology Service - This is Panda. She is now 4 years old. I started a BLOG about her when she was six weeks old. I am starting to revise it and add more photos - Veterinarians Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I read an article online that Dr. Brinkman had been working with doggles to provide prescription eye care for dogs in 2004 and wanted to see if he was still active in providing the service. The receptionist or person that answered the phone was very rude and strongly indicated, "No, that was before my time. He does not do that anymore and it is impossible to prescribe a dog glasses." She was very belittling and told me that if I was concerned about my dogs eyes I should take my dog in somewhere. Why would I schedule a visit with a vet that hires a woman that is straight out demeaning and belittling to the pet owners. ..... Very uncompassionate person!!!!! I had simply called for information and had probably brought my dog in to see Dr. Brinkman but after a brief conversation with this woman,....NO THANK YOU! Wow. read more

I am writing about my experience with Dr Brinkman and his staff. I have a 15 year old Jack Russell Terrier. The dog has had his fair share of experiences (he had his front paws ran over, allergies, etc). I am going to write exactly what happened with Dr Brinkman so you can make an educated choice when it comes to your pet's health. I was looking up Opthamologists in Las Vegas and found that there are only three. There is Eye Care for Animals, The Specialty Center and Dr Brinkman. I had already visited Eye Care and the Specialty Center, but also the most expensive in Las Vegas. I decided to give Dr Brinkman a shot. Dr Brinkman is in his mid-60's and his office is located on Sahara (in between Boulder Highway and Maryland Parkway - essentially near most of the auto dealerships on Sahara). His office is outdated, but it's professional. I took my dog in for 3-4 visits when he still had vision. I got mixed information back. The first visit I was told that the cataracts weren't worth operating on. The second visit I was told that he wanted me to have him operate on one of the eyes and on the third visit that he wanted to operate on both eyes (in case one of the eyes was a failure). I had decided I was going to hold off because he had 65% vision in one eye, 35% vision in the other eye and he was getting around still. I was prescribed temaril p for my dog (he had a persistent cough). It was a very low dose, but over the course of two weeks the dog lost 2-3 pounds, had muscle weakness and looked like he was about to die. I rushed him to the vet and found out he had developed diabetes. I was told by his receptionist (who is by far not the nicest person you will every meet - you can read other reviews on here and see it's not just me). She told me these instructions - give him a half dose of insulin at 1130p, 2 jars of baby food and water. Don't feed him in the morning. I did as she instructed. I left my house the morning of the surgery and drove him to Dr Brinkman's. The receptionist asked if I had fed him or gave him insulin and I stated "no." This is where she berated me and told me "I told you to give him a half dose of insulin and to feed him." I had no choice but to leave, take the dog to Walmart, buy a bottle of insulin and dog food and feed him in the parking lot (Walmart was 5 mins from Dr Brinkman and I live 20 minutes away). I should have taken this as a LARGE SIGN to no go back. I returned to Dr Brinkman and I dropped my dog off. I got a call later that day that he was out or surgery. Dr Brinkman told me that "his capsules were too old and they both split so he couldn't put in new lenses (this makes the dog far sided and anything up close is blurry). He also told me that everything went well. This is where the story turns. I picked up my dog and I noticed right away he was walking better, moving around easier, etc. I was given a drop schedule, a prescription for oral anti-inflammatory and some pills to fight possible infection. I got him home and he pretty much slept. The next day I had to bring him back in for a check up. Dr Brinkman checked him over and said everything looked good. He thought his vision would be back in a week or two. I brought my dog in 2-3 times with no real improvement in vision. I will state within the first week I thought my dog could see. He would follow my finger and he would follow me around the kitchen. I went to Dr Brinkman for the fourth follow-up and I told him that the dog couldn't see. Dr Brinkman told me the inflammation in his eyes was between and 2 and 3 (out of 4). He wanted to increase his drops. I also asked for the oral anti-inflammatory. It was a few days later that I was home with my dog on a Sat night. The dog was about to die! I ended up taking my dog to another ophthalmologist to get a second opinion. The drops prescribed were not working. The other doctor gave me drops I picked up from Target. They cleared up the inflammation within a week. The new doctor also told me that his left retina was detached (either happened in surgery or after due to inflammation). The next issue with his liver enzymes spiked to 1500. The dog has never had liver issues. I found out from my vet that Metacam (the oral anti-inflammatory can cause liver damage (it's rare, but can happen). I made one final visit to Dr Brinkman. I let him examine him and I waited for him to tell me about the detached retina. He did not, he only stated "the left eye doesn't look good." I sat him down and I told him that I took him to another doctor, what the other doctor had said and how I changed the drops. The dog went from "about to die" to being my dog again. He wants to walk around, eat, go to the park, etc. Dr Brinkman told me while in surgery the right capsule split, but he didn't think it would. I asked why he operated on the left eye (and he said cause he didn't think it would split too) I wish I never brought my dog here read more

Update: injury healed up without any long lasting issues. Drops and medicine received did the trick. Very grateful.

Our Maltase developed diabetes, and even though we were able to control his blood levels, he went blind very quickly, which is something that apparently happens to k9's quickly when they become diabetic. We were referred to the Veterinary Ophthalmology Service, the staff was incredible, and Dr. Brinkman was amazing! Our puppy was walking into walls, had lost his fun loving spirit, but thanks to Dr. Brinkman and his staff he can see again, and is back to his original self. Thanks so much!!! read more

Stay away from this guy. Was there in August 2021 with my dog. Saw him for max 5 min. Put 3 Drops in my dogs eye and gave me some Drops as medication and he charged me 540 $. Totally overpriced. read more

Well the actual doctor Himself is great. BUT and a big fat BUT the facility is filthy, the technician didn't Wear gloves, was forceful with my dog, and yelled at my dog to not move. Just a very aggressive approach that I'm Not used to. (I left in tears because my dog needed a procedure done and as I was leaving the technician yanked my dog on the leash. Had a panic attack in my car. )Nobody explained anything that was being done before the actual vet walked in, again forceful and being yelled at not to move. The vet however is great and super kind and gentle with the animals. But as we were checking out the receptionist had a small chihuahua that stays there with her and he growled at a client with sunglasses on, so she smacked him in the ribs to stop growling. Just overall sad the vet isn't surrounded with a more gentle kind staff with a better facility! read more

We wanted to take the time to thank doctor Brinkman Michelle and his staff. For the incredible compassion and Care that they gave to our Kitty. We spent over 6 months taking him to many different vets and used every type of eye drops and suggestion that we were instructed to. Final we were refer to doctor Brinkman who found a large tumor behind our kitties eye. Though he had to remove his eye. He's getting back to being a normal Kitty and I couldn't thank them enough for their professionalism and caring for him. We feel he's SAVED our kitties life and are so grateful. read more

Veterinary Ophthalmology Service - Hes doing great. - Veterinarians Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

I picked a rescue dog up from the shelter and took her to see Dr. Brinkmanship because shelter staff suspected that she might be blind. Well, she is. The staff was very friendly and extremely accommodating. What wonderful people. This isn't anything that can be done for this poor dog, but Dr Brinkmanship gave me drops for her eyes to help keep them lubricated. This poor baby is going to a rescue in Denver, Colorado, but I have two 4 legged fur babies of my own and they will definitely see Dr Brinkmanship if I ever suspect that there is something wrong with their eyesight. He has a great bedside manner. read more

My dog (Shepard mix) had been suffering from "dry eye" to the point of eye ulceration and increasing blindness. Dr.Brinkman is incredibly knowledgeable, and his amazing staff are as well too. They assessed my dog with a complete eye examination and spent quality time with us explaining the issues. Best of all, we received eye drops and treatment which has dramatically helped improve our dog's eyesight and health. read more

Marley and Marvin had the most amazing visit today. They both still have a little vision left and are doing well. All thanks to the amazing Dr. Binkman, Michelle, & Jean. My babies would be lost without you. No seriously... Blind by now... read more

Dr. Brinkman and his staff are WONDERFUL! Our vet recommended them when our Boxer developed an ulcer in her eye that would not heal. All I have to say is that Dr. Brinkman is super smart, loves what he does, and does not try to "upsell" services that most vets do. He initially recommended surgery but said we could try antibiotics first to see if it could heal on it's own. It didn't, but at least he did not pressure me into it. We decided on the surgery and our baby is 100% better. Normally, our girl gets a bit scared when we take her to the vet because she "knows". She LOVES Dr. Brinkman, Michelle and Jean. Michelle is the woman at the front desk. She is wonderful. She has been working with Dr. Brinkman for over eight years. She always calls the day before our appointment. She is patient and always takes time to thoroughly answer my questions and concerns. Jean is the sweetest woman ever. She has been working with the doctor for over 15 years. She treats our baby like her very own. She even let my ten year old daughter come to the back office to help her feed baby kittens that she was fostering. If you are at all hesitant about going to see Dr. Brinkman, don't be. They are like family and will love your baby and make you feel at home. read more

I attempted to make an appointment for two of my cats. First things first, they had me fax over our records. Who uses a fax machine anymore! More importantly I spoke to two staff members. The first one, I think her name was Kathy or Karen sounded as though I had interrupted her. Almost discouraging me from giving them my business. But Jean took the cake. When I gave Jean the two dates that worked me, mind you, these were more than three weeks out, Jean laughed at me and told me that those dates were impossible because should will be on vacation that week. I asked Jean what does that have to do with anything and she shared with me that she is the only register RN on staff. Seriously! Anyway the kicker is that they only do surgeries on Wednesdays. So anyone who needs a procedure done in this office make sure to schedule for a Wednesday and make sure Jean isn't on vacation! read more

Thank you Dr. Brinkmann for the improvement of my aging English Bulldog's eyes. Another veterinarian recommended surgery as the only option which would have been quite costly with a 50/50 chance of improvement. Under Dr. Brinkmann's care, my little girl's eyes took a 180 degree turn from horrible to "back to her old self". She is no longer bumping into furniture or looking miserable. Thank you Jean and Michelle also. Great staff members who provided friendly and professional care. read more

I have been bringing my dogs to Dr. Brinkmann since my dog was blinded by another ophthalmologist here in town. Dr. B was able to save her eye from being removed however her sight could not be restored because the damage caused by the first doctor(?) was too great. I take my dogs every 6 months to see him and his wonderful staff. Dr. B is the most experienced eye doctor for animals in Las Vegas and I recommend him highly. read more

So happy we were referred to Dr. Brinkman by our friend. About a month ago our 10yo husky started showing signs of vision loss. We took her to our normal vet and they said blind in left eye and vision impaired in right. We didn't want her going blind so took her here and Dr. Brinkman correctly diagnosed her with an immune issue often found in huskys and other similar breeds. He put her on Prednisone two weeks ago and at her follow-up today her vision has improved dramatically in both eyes. If you suspect any vision issues with your furbaby, do not wait. See Dr. Brinkman immediately! read more

I had an initial consultation which costed $300.00. Was given a quote of 4200 to 4500 for cataract surgery for both eyes. My bf who happens to be an eye surgeon said only one eye is necessary. When I called back to get the quote for only one eye, the charge was quoted at 3500, plus they insisted that I had to bring my dog back in for ANOTHER check up at 300.00! After asking my bf if this "2nd check up" is absolutely necessary, the answer was no. I do not like doing business with dishonest people, even if the dr is good at what he does. Keep in mind that cataract surgery for humans is only 600 per eye. Not happy and will take my business elsewhere. read more

Just scheduling the gal, I assume the fulltime office clerk/receptionist is kind of rude. I cancelled my appt, no need to go there

Dr and staff are amazing! You can really tell this is their passion. I always have to bring my two small children with me, and the staff always has coloring books, crayons, and snacks to keep them occupied. Thanks for taking care of my four legged furry baby ;) read more

I live in Colorado and have a dog that is slowly going blind because of diabetes. Although there are a few Vet Ophthalmologist a couple of hours closer, I have family in Vegas where I could stay. I called Dr. Brinkman's office just to find out about visits, scheduling, proceedure, etc etc. The woman (wouldn't say "lady") who answered was the rudest and the most condisending person I think I have ever talked too. When you are concerned and worried about your pet and prepared to spend megabucks, you would expect a softer more congenial interaction from office staff. I have read all of the Yelp reviews of this vet service and I see that my experience echos a much too high percentage of those other reviews. This is Not the place I will take my dog. This treatment from office staff has been going on for a long time and I would have expected the vet to handle the problem; this is an indication of an unprofessional workplace. read more

Dr. Brinkmann was soooo great! We had been told by Banfield that our shitzu might lose his eye (he had a bad ulcer). I went for a second opinion at South Valley Animal Hospital and they recommended Dr. Brinkmann. He is so knowledgeable and you can tell he wants to help you with price and isn't trying to get you to spend on unnecessary treatments. He saved my doggies eye and he is back to his normal self. Please go directly to this vet for any eye problems. You will be happy you did! Thanks to Dr. Brinkmann and his friendly & caring staff!! read more

This place is AWESOME. My fur baby got a better eye exam than I have ever experienced. You are greeted on the phone and at the registration desk by Karan. Jean is the Assistant that performs certain tests and prepares your baby for the examination by Dr Michael C Brinkmann, DVM. There is no weak link in this team of 3. They equally excel in compassion, knowledge, and professionalism. They genuinely care and know what they are doing. My little Boo Baby was very calm and comfortable during all the testing because of the love and patience they wholeheartedly give to a scared pet. I can not say enough wonderful things about these 3 particular people. If your fur baby has vision issues do not waste your time going anywhere else. Take them to the best...and Karan, Jean and Dr Brinkmann definitely are the best! Thank you so much for being so awesome to My Boo Baby and myself. Karen Bravo. Thank You read more

Dr. Michael Brinkmann was recommended to us, because our Amigo has cataracts and glaucoma. We were thrilled with the attention Dr. Brinkmann and his tech staff, Jean and Michele gave to Amigo. It was heartwarming to see them interact with our little guy. They are so devoted to helping your pet. No matter how busy Dr. Brinkmann may be, your appointment has all his attention. We never felt rushed. We always leave completely satisfied. Every pet parent we met there had only the most highest compliments and respect for the doctor and his staff, as do we and our Amigo! read more

After 2 months of taking my Husky to his regular vet for "an eye infection" they finally admitted they didn't know what was wrong and maybe I should see a specialist. The first specialist told me I would have to wait two months to get in or pay $1000 to sit in their waiting room and be seen at the end of the day if the doctor had time. I called Dr. Brinkman's office and Michelle got me in on an emergency basis. She couldn't have been kinder. Dr. Brinkman is amazing!! He is dedicated and passionate about what he does. My Husky has glaucoma and had gone blind in one eye and was at risk of losing his site in the other eye. With surgery, his eye site was saved. By the way... he loves Dr. Brinkman's back office nurse, Jean. She made me feel so much better with all that I was about to face. I can't thank them all enough. read more

Having worked for human eye docs for 15 years I was extremely impressed by the knowledge of Dr. Brinkmann and his staff. Even though they had a full schedule they offered to work me in and the Doctor did not act rushed. The staff is Awesome! read more

Extremely dissatisfied pet owner. The veterinary technicians Michelle and Jean, as well as experience doctor/surgeon Michael Brinkmann are extremely overconfident in their abilities to be able to treat or cure eye diseases in animals. After 4 months of consistent treatment and one very expensive surgery, my 5 year old canine gained no benefit from their medical service. Her eye disease is just as bad as it was before we started treatments with V.O.S., NO improvements at all. When I canceled my dog's last scheduled appointment the staff demonstrated ambivalent attitude towards my dissatisfaction and almost seemed relieved that I was not returning. Neither the staff or Dr. Brinkmann ever followed-up to find out why I was canceling their service. I have now assumed that they just don't care or they just don't have time to care. I know that the majority of clients have been very satisfied with Veterinary Opthalmology Service, but their recommended treatments did nothing to help us. I feel obligated to warn other potential patients that, if you are choosing V.O.S. and Dr. Brinkmann for your pet's health needs, be aware that they are not the great experts as they would lead you to believe. read more
