We had an amazing experience at this vet with both of our dogs. The staff was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. You can tell they truly love what they do. Hands down the best veterinary care we've had--highly recommend! Dr.W is the best! read more

I love this place so much! As much as I don't want my cats to need to go to a vet, any time they do go, it's so enjoyable! The staff is so kind and comforting (especially after trying other places that sucked bad). I actually look forward to our appointments just so I can get educated and my cats treated like angels! Shoutout to Dr. Carpenter and, my literal fav, Rhonda, for being so fantastic all the time!! read more

Amazing vet. Dr. Winston is really on his game. Gave us great info for our new furry baby. Very professional and so personable. Look forward to going back. We even got a call after the visit to check on the puppy. Lovely front desk personnel. We are thrilled . read more

Dr. Winston is wonderful. Our golden retriever has seen him on many occasions and he has always taken great care of her. The best part is, he explains everything to us in terms we understand and provides us with useful information so that our decisions are informed. My husband is an ER doctor and says that he fully respects Dr. Winstons skill and expertise. read more

Dr Winston is the absolute best vet on this planet!! He is compassionate, offers only the best medical advice, and takes as much time as necessary for treatment. My two pups love him so much !! Very professional & caring staff. read more

I have 1 dog + 2 cats that I've been bringing here for years now. Always a good experience, the staff love what they do & it really shows! And Dr. Winston never rushes a visit; he explains everything in great detail. read more

Dr. Winston and team are remarkable. They are professional, caring and honest. We strongly endorse Village Veterinary Hospital and are grateful for their exemplary service. read more

Can't say enough good about Dr. Winston, his staff, and the clinic in general. They cared for our dog for the majority of his 15 years - through autoimmune disease, broken legs, teeth cleanings and a host of other issues. On the last day of our doggy's life, Dr. Winston and Kim came into the office on a Sunday morning to accommodate us. I am a nurse, and my standards are stringent; but you can rely on this practice for spot-on professional care. read more

Dr. Winston is the most compassionate vet I've ever met. He gave my sick puppy the best care I could've asked for from anyone. I regret not finding him sooner. He sits down with you and explains everything in detail and will never make you feel like he's in a hurry. He is a great communicator. I've never met a vet who actually takes a seat to explain everything when your dog is sick. He is well read, extremely intelligent, and empathetic. His staff is sweet, reassuring, and responsive. THANK YOU Dr. Winston and staff! I am so very grateful for everything you did for me and my little guy. If you want to feel confident that you are going to a wise, competent vet who knows what he's doing, look no further!!! Dr. Winston, you rock! read more

This is a great place to bring your pet. Friendly and knowledgable staff. They give me lots of information and love for my pets. Super nice people. read more

We have followed Village Vet from Bee Cave to Lakeway after their move because we wouldn't want to be without them. After coming from a poor experience at a vet where every shot and procedure was a matter of course (often the bill was where you found out), VV is a refreshing, honest, and amazing place. Their clean waiting room greets you with a few rescue cats that are friendly and playful (meet Linus, you'll never forget him). Vet techs are communicative, helpful and empathetic. But from the top down, Eric Winston is a rare vet that cares first about his clients and their furry friends. We have three dogs and two cats, and although we may visit more than we might like with aging pets, VV is always friendly, thorough and non-invasive (procedures and shots are cleared with the client *first* unlike many vets - and Winston will level with you if he thinks a procedure is unnecessary - good luck finding that many places). These folks have good hearts, great senses of humor, and their clients' best interests at heart. In a day in age where the primary concern for many vets is the bottom line, VV is a true diamond (or whichever environmentally favorable gemstone you espouse). If you're currently looking for a new vet or new to this area of town, I'd *strongly* recommend giving VV a call first. I don't think you'll be disappointed. read more

5 stars for Dr. Winston. Took a star off for the receptionists. took my dogs to Dr. Winston a few years ago. I really liked him. He suggested a medication that did wonders for my huge Goldendoodle with hip problems. I am sure he extended his life. I just want to say that I don't think you will find a more knowledgeable vet around. I actually wish he worked on people too because he is better than any of my physicians here! Just a good guy, loves animals, does not push for extra tests and other $$$$$ ad ons that other vets do. The reason I did not continue with his practice was the two ladies at the front desk. They were rude, second guessed what the Dr. had told me. They basically ignored me and answered phones while I sat there. There were two receptionists and the phone was not ringing off the hook. One could have helped me and one could have answered the phones. I don't even know if they are still there anymore. They seem to have worked there for may years so I would not be surprised. Maybe we just didn't hit it off. read more

Exceptional vet and practice. We have been taking our dog here for the past 12 years. Dr. Winston is knowledgeable and responsive to any need our dog has had. We could not ask for better veterinarian care. He is very thorough in explaining all issues and recommended treatments. We would not go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Winston and his staff are the best. They have seen our pets through health and illness, including the end of our old spaniel's life. Dr. Winston showed tremendous consideration for our old pet and for his people, making a difficult day easier to bear. His combination of thorough diagnostic skill and compassion are very rare. read more

This is an exceptional veterinary practice. Dr. Winston and his staff are extraordinarily knowledgeable and caring, and have been truly wonderful with our animals. Sadly, Dr. Winston diagnosed a rare cancer with one of our dogs, but we've been told 99 out of 100 vets would never have figured it out. He's that good. read more

Such a bad experience leading to our dog having to see another vet. The vet actually asked me "What do you think we should do to solve this?" We were looking to him for his medical expertise and did not get it. read more

We Love Dr Winston and Judy and all the fine folks here! Our Cat Quincy Loves coming for his check ups and he smells like fresh clean laundry after his baths. Thank you for all his care. Quincy has had surgery and routine care with Dr Winston for over 4 years and we are so happy to come every time. read more

I met Dr. Winston accidentally when another person's horse at the barn was colicing. I noticed how attentive, informative and caring he was. So I called him when my horse had some problems. Now all of my animals go to him. He takes time to explain everything. When he uses jargon, he explains it. Dr. Winston gives all the options for treatment and his recommendations. And my animals love him. If you are looking for an equine vet, here's your guy. (He's got a portable x-ray so you don't have to trailer your horse in). If you're looking for a vet for your dog or cat, here's your guy. read more

Dr. Winston treats both our horses and our dogs. Normally I consider small animal vets and large animal vets two entierly different types of vets and I don't like to have a vet that does both, but Dr. Winston does an excellent job on both. Trust me, we've put him to the test! Snake bites, torn suspensories, hot nails, abscesses, torn cruciate ligaments, founder and much much more! He also does farm calls. read more

From our very first visit it was clear how much Dr. Eric Winston cares for pets. We have gotten to know all his staff who also display great care and kindness towards our two dogs. We are there often because one of our dogs is a kidney patient who needs hydration therapy two times a week. When we bring our dogs to Village Veterinary Hospital the dogs are excited to see Joseph, Miranda, Kim, Greg and Sarah. That's the best indication of the quality of pet care at Village Vet. read more

I can't say enough great things about Dr. Winston and his staff. They are knowledgeable, friendly, compassionate, and efficient! We have taken our pets here for over 2 years now and we love them so much we drive all the way from South Austin. read more

Dr Winston and his entire staff are amazing. Their care is exceptional, not only for the animals but us, the owners. Starting the week of Thanksgiving, our boxer became rapidly ill. The Friday after Thanksgiving, her condition was bad. Dr Winston, Judy and Jordan kept in phone contact with me and even tried to get one of the cardiac specialists to see her before Monday. They were there for us and our fur baby when we needed it. read more

I drive from way up North to bring my dogs to Dr. Winston. After my move, I tried to find another vet to care for our animals (at my husbands request) but there is just no substitute for Dr. Winston. Don't let the location or lack of signage fool you - what is behind the non-descript doors is a vet that provides top-notch care, with compassion and understanding. I absolutely trust Dr. Winston with the care of my babies - his diagnosis have always been spot on and I would highly recommend his practice to anyone looking for a vet (especially if you consider yourself to be very picky). read more

Kudos to Dr Eric Winston and his staff! My puppy got a really bad allergic reaction and I rushed over to Village Vet with him. Dr Winston was about to leave, since they are closed Wednesday afternoons, but he waited for me and within minutes after my arrival, my puppy was so much better! He made a quick and efficient diagnosis, gave him the appropriate injections and explained the reaction and expected outcome to me. Thanks so much to all of you at Village Vet! read more

Dr. Winston and his helpful wonderful staff are amazing. You NEVER walk in that you and your pet are not greeted by name with friendly professional service! They know me and they know my dogs and cats by name. I enjoy the one on one time that Dr. Winston provides and he answers all my questions and addresses my concerns without making me feel like I am taking up his time. He is the ONLY vet I would ever use! If you love your pets...do the best by them and only use Village Vet Hospital! read more

I've taken my many pets to numerous animal clinics in and around Austin over the years, and Dr. Winston and Village Vet are hands-down the best. The staff is amazingly friendly and kind to people and animals alike, and Dr. Winston himself is always friendly, respectful and never judgmental or condescending if your dog puts on a few pounds or shows up a couple of months late to her annual appointment. On top of all of that, their prices are always reasonable, and I've never left feeling like I've been oversold or taken advantage of. I just can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

Dr Winston and his staff are awesome. He is very patient and thoroughly explains all treatment options if I bring in a sick dog. His prices are very reasonable, and he does not overtreat when we bring our dogs in for illness or just annual shots. We have used several vets in the Westlake area over the past 20 years and I think Dr Winston is the best all around, and worth the short drive to Lakeway. read more
