This clinic came highly recommended by multiple people online who raved about the quality of service and the good care the vets provided their cats/dogs. Of course, hearing this... I wanted to take my dogs here to get a vaccine and renewals of their flea, tick, heartworm medications. This is a first come first serve clinic and I had to wait 1.5 hours in the parking lot to be seen. The vet tech who took care of the dogs was nice enough. One dog got his shot and had renewals of their medications. All was well. She asked if I wanted to buy the medications there... and I agreed. What a terrible idea! Prior vet I had seen offered very fair prices (equivalent to Chewy.. want to supply local businesses so of course I'd pick vet over Chewy)... but this clinic did not fall into the same category. Heartguard @St. Paul - 6 month supply (6 pills) = $78 vs. Chewy $57 (w/ autoship) Nextguard @St. Paul - 6 month supply (5 pills) = $192 vs. Chewy $120 (w/ autoshop) Lesson learned - do not buy any medications from this practice. read more

TERRIBLE FRONT DESK LADY... she MUST be on dr^gs speaking with slow slurred speech & man I don't judge butttt then she asks me to explain why I am seeking an appointment.. so I do so( in detail about why my cat needs to be checked out/needing general shots) this lady lets me go on & on before even letting me know they aren't even taking new patients at all today!! Like maybe LEAD WITH THAT?!?! They are always very vocal about being first come first serve so I called from parking lot like I usually do. Yet they are closing early at 11AM... UPDATE YOUR HOURS ON GOOGLE MAPS IF YOU ARE CLOSING EARLY MY PLACE OF EMPLOYMENT DOES THIS ALL THE TIME WHEN CLOSING EARLY. read more

I have been going to St Paul's vet for over 25 years. Everything was great until COVID came. While we accepted the fact that we had to sit out in the parking lot and come in when we are able to, the service now is almost impossible to get into the facility. You're not open on Saturdays anymore and for us clients that work Monday through Friday it is impossible to get in. The hours are not accurate to what is being put out on their voicemail recordings. I tried three times to get my dog in for a serious skin condition and each time we called before noon they were already full for the day. How can you be full for the day when you're open until 8:00 p.m. and are not taking any more clients. Drove to the clinic one day just to find out that they were closed when their voicemail hours said that they were open. I understand that sometimes changes need to be made due to staffing and other issues, but these issues have gone on for months and I have had to resort to take my dogs to another vet. read more

Worst experience ever. They let us in, Told us sit down JUST for them to tell us to leave because we're not checked in. Why would you not ask that from the beginning of letting us in the building? Second, we called from the car. They had us on hold for forever & then hung up. When I called back, they told me that the doctor was on lunch & to come back. They give people the run around & poor communication skills. They should close down I would sign an petition. People don't play about their dog, time or dogs health & I'm one of them. Get it together read more

Love your pet. My previous vet was a pain, you had to schedule an appointment a week out and they make you feel like crap for not taking their up-sell's. You don't get that at St. Paul. The fees here are reasonable, $39 each for distemper and bordetella shots. It's first-come, first-served with never a long wait and they are open into the early evening. read more

I've been to St. Paul vet a few times, my review is of my most recent experience. My 17 year old cat has been going outside of the litterbox and traditionally this has always been due to a UTI. The clinic is walk -in only (not for surgeries I assume) so there are good times to go and good times to not go without a wait. I was there around 2 pm on a Friday and didn't have to wait long to see Dr. Dean. He was very nice and explained everything thoroughly. It would be nice if you could request a specific vet but I'm not sure you can do that. If so, I would ask to work with him again! Turns out kitty had no bladder issues and her blood test came back perfect. I like that they didn't try to sell me on other tests, they said it would only be needed if her behavioral issues continued and also offered ways to help with that. I am happy that they now accept Care Credit, just in case you need to go that route and can take advantage of a promo like no interest for 6 months etc. They have hours that make it easy for first shifters to take their pet in without having to miss work. I like this clinic, although nothing fancy. I will continue to use them as my vet office! read more

I would give it 5 stars but I don't like the first come, first served. They have been very caring with my animals and pleasant to speak with. read more

Dr. Singh saved my dog, that needed emergency surgery. I have been taking my animals to St. Paul Vet Clinic, for over 15yrs. Excellent care, price you can afford (compared to some other veterinarian clinics/hospitals). I thank you from the bottom of my heart! CK read more

I don't usually give five stars, I reserve five star ratings for best in class, that's what "Whoohoo! As good as it gets!" means to me. There are no other veterinary clinics like this one, so it's both the best and worst in class. It's a sort of cross between an urgent care clinic, Korean War era M*A*S*H unit, the Cook County Hospital Emergency Room, but for animals. It's not really first come first serve, there's a pretty sophisticated triage system in spite of, or underneath the enveloping chaos and disorder. The vets, vet techs, and front desk staff are at once jaded, rushed, efficient, efficacious, overwhelmed, confident, busy, irritable, and loving every minute of it. They are adrenaline junkies. They don't take appointments, come in as soon as they open and bring a book, but if you have an urgent situation (please don't misuse the adjective, emergent), they may be your best bet. It's not a free clinic, but it's pretty clear it's a low profit shoestring budget operation. It's in a scary inner city neighborhood, but I like this. Those of us paying, help the operation take care of pets whose owners aren't going to be charged full price. It's clearly not a great business model but I admire that they are motivated by something other than profit. The equipment and building itself are far from new and state of the science, and yet there is something truly professional about this place. Here's how I found out about it. I have too many cats in my house. All of them are taking advantage of my Buddhist nature. I didn't ask for a single one of them and none of them are doing anything about the squirrels that keep gnawing their way into my attic. Lazy bums. A couple of weeks ago this little tuxedo kitten was laying in the sun up on the berm on the south side of my house and I approached it to say hi. It didn't run from me but made alarmed and scared noises and crawled off in an odd way into my bushes. I wanted to check it out but when I approached the bushes it went in deeper out of my reach so I just talked to it for a while. It talked back to me in a frightened and plaintive voice so I left it alone. I returned much later at night, the temperature had dropped quite a bit and this poor wretch had managed to drag itself up to my front door, shivering and mewling in what turned out to be a desperate plea for help. It was dark and late, I put it in my vestibule to keep it separated from my feline room mates, space heater, water and food. It hungrily devoured the food, it was skin and bones only so it had been starving but it seemed something was wrong with its legs. The next morning in the light it was apparent this young little cat was severely injured. I called my regular vets at the Greenfield Vet Clinic and they were double booked all day. I think they would have still squeezed me in for one of my cats but this was a stray and by my description it wasn't long for this world. It was a stray so I didn't want to pay the high fees at the Lakeshore Veterinary Emergency Clinic, where again I would have taken one of my cats; YELP helped me find this place. I was pretty sure I was taking this cat in to be euthanized so no name, trying to not get attached, but this little creature was being just so brave and in spite of clearly being very hurt, was very grateful for a little warmth and kindness. We got moved to the front of the line and immediately seen by a vet who reminded me of the character Hawkeye Pierce in demeanor. This fast and immediate response gave me a sinking feeling that mixed oddly with the reassuring feeling I got from competent and sympathetic demeanor of this vet, another vet who came in to see, two vet techs and the front desk staff. After some rapid tests, x-rays and exam, it turned out she (found out she is female) had a shattered pelvis - her hips fractured in a complicated manner. I was warned that in trauma like this, it's not likely that all the major organs are intact....variables and possibilities were given to me in a straightforward manner. We were sent home with more potent painkiller than was needed if you get what I mean and I made her as comfortable as possible to see if she would survive to Monday when I had an appointment at Greenfield. Everyone who encountered this courageous little cat had a sincere interest in how this would turn out, though I think experienced enough to expect tragedy. But the kitten made it to Monday, at the Greenfield clinic my regular vet said this still unnamed little patient needed some very expensive specialty treatment, and there was only one place in town with thes sort of crack orthopedic surgeons she needed. You can turn to my review of the Lakeshore Veterinary hospital if you want to see how this cat's story turns out but to get back to the review of the St. Paul clinic, I think they are heroic. I hope I never have to come here again, but I am very grateful they are. read more

This place is useless, never take your pet here. I had to wait 6 hours the first time I came in for him to check on my cat for a spay. I pay for the initial appointment and to have her nails cut, after they tell me that it is more than $350 to operate on her, I make the appointment. They never cut her nails and they tell me that on Friday when she goes to operate they will cut them. They told me that they would call the day before to confirm and give me the instructions. They NEVER called, anyway on Friday I took her in the morning as they had told me initially. Then when I arrive I call and they don't want to answer the phone, I knock on the door and a lady starts yelling through the door that they are not open for me to leave, she never let me speak. I keep calling and he answers telling me to go away. Without her letting me speak at any time, I tried to tell her that I came for a Spay and that they told me that I had to be here at that time. She started insulting me and yelling on the phone without even letting me speak. He never let me talk, nor go in in the cold and with my pet outside. It was horrible, I paid the initial visit for nothing. read more

Chop shop for animals , brought dog I. For emergency surgery only to let her sit there all days sick as fuck

This place hasn't been the same since the pandemic. It's first come first serve, but now you have to wait in your car for typically an hour before you are called. I arrived and was told to call back in about an hour to see if they had any more openings because they were so behind from the morning. We've always had good experiences with this clinic prior to the pandemic but it's like they never made the adjustment back to normal. I'm not sure if they are short staffed or what the issue is, but be prepared to wait a long time. They should consider taking appointments. read more

The BEST, most caring team! The services are top notch and the prices are so reasonable! I could tell instantly Dr Singh and the team care about the health and welfare pets first, and foremost! I was told by the clinic who recommended St Pauls to me "Don't let the prices fool you, they are as talented as any clinic around!" YES they are.. AND they go above and beyond to help you and your pet unlike other clinics in this area! They are truly amazing!!!! read more

Don't go here unless you like waiting in the parking lot for hours. . . They are freaky about COVID, so they won't let you in until they call you back, which could be up to 3 hours. Then you get a vet who could not get a job anywhere else who charges you a fortune. STAY AWAY!!! read more

I took my beloved furbaby here after coming home from a trip and found that my petsitter had not filled any on the water bowls or waters wells. Each was bone dry. My baby had been deprived of water for appx. 7 + days. I arrived at the clinic explaining that my baby was a victim of neglect, as well as the fact that both my baby's were ill from this but this one was not able to walk, couldnt lift her head, her voice was dry and deep, she was down a lot in her weight. I first explained to a woman that took me to a room, and again to the doctor that came in after!!! I even read them the text from the petsitter that stated that the Toilet Bowl was only closed for 2 days. FACT: Neither of my babies EVER drank from a toilet!!! So the clinic puts an IV bag of saline? Into my baby. I already was upset, but to make it worse, the area my baby was in was filthy. Surrounded by cleaning supplies & in a tight & smelly area.They took her blanket & pillow & my baby now lay on a towel that smelled like bleached dog crap. I was told that I could spend time w/her while she was there, laying in that smelly, cold cage.They said bloodwork would be done & that she'd be heated. I was told that they were closed on Sunday so I couldn't visit. I asked Who would be caring for her & I was told that A CLEANING STAFF if they Notice anything that they're to contact someone on staff at the clinic. I sat for a while & then left so that the Clinic could begin bloodwork & treatment. I called later in the day & still no bloodwork had been done.Sunday came, no contact which told me she was still alive. Monday I called to get updates & left message. Later in the afternoon, the Vet/Owner of the clinic left me a message. Said they were going to get bloodwork and he left his # for me to call. I kept calling & it was NOT his number! Tuesday I got a call that my baby was dead. I went to see her & it was CLEAR she had been gone for a while, yet they were keeping her body warm. I saw her face/mouth all bruised & immediately asked what the hell happened! They said that this was from one of the employees force feeding her. Holy WtF! NEVER do you force solid foods into a life form that has been severely deprived of water! She needed fluids, both IV & Subcutaneous ( which she never ) Food should NOT have been forced into my sick baby's mouth!! I was/am So ticked off!! I continued asking bout the bruising & that I wanted her blanket & pillow.Was asked about Cremation... From Start to Finish, EVERYTHING was about GETTING THE $$$ FIRST!! NO Compassion at all! Next time I picked up my baby, she was handed to me , w/No Compassion, in what looked like a Crown Royal bag.My heart IS crushed, I AM disgusted furious at the Clinic, Staff, Vet and the Heffer that NEGLECTED my Babies!!! After a period of grieving, I called the police to press charges. ( THIS WOMAN HAS HAD NO REMORSE AT ALL! ) IM Told this is Felony animal abuse and I can press charges once I get the medical report. I call up St. Paul Veterinary, asked about getting the report.; at which time I was told that nothing i had told them when i brought her in was noted and that TECHNICALLY SHE WAS AN OBJECT" I was so ticked off!! I asked, "If i see a dog getting abused & see kicks to the ribs, i bring in the dog and tell what i saw, none of this will have notation? You keep doing random tests and ignoring the info provided?" She said she'd have the doc call me. So, when the Owner called I explained what happened, he said his employees should not call my baby an object! Then he said he don't get involved w/this cuz it would put him out of Business!, he to called my baby an object & said that he couldn't take my word what happened. I just picked up Report, no bloodwork till the day she died, convulsions I never knew about, couldn't eat or swallow ( yet they FORCED HER) Body temp to low to get read! NEVER WOULD I GO BACK TO THIS DISGUSTING EXCUSE OF A VET AND HIS GREEDY Negligent Filthy Death Shop!! You to HURT MY BABY & NEVER INFORMED ME!!! SHAME ON YOU & YOUR STAFF!!!! read more

Clinic good for quick needs but not as a regular vet, we use them for vaccines because they are inexpensive also got my little dog fixed they did a good job I don't like the first come first serve because waiting in your car when it's 5 degrees can be rough. I would not use them for illness because they don't really have the follow up like a regular vet and they may not know your pet well enough to know if there are personality changes. The staff and the vets do seem to care about the animals read more

St. Paul's clinic is always clean and the staff is always friendly. Since this is an first come first served clinic, If you go on a Saturday be prepared to wait, but clinic is fully staffed and the wait is too bad. If you are just going for a check up and shots, go during the week they have great hours. I have never had a bad experience here. read more

I am visiting from Florida and googled this office, it was also recommended by family. Very disappointed. To begin with there was absolutely no place to take my doggie to pee or poop while waiting in the car. Just a big cemented parking lot. There was poop and pee everywhere near the entrance and the walkway leading to the front door. I had to dodge and tip toe just to attempt to walk my doggie. They should place a grassy area with poop bags somewhere like every other vets office my 5 dogs have gone to. Second, the vet seemed to be indifferent and uncaring. No sign of empathy for how I was worried about my furbaby. Treated her like she was just a number and seemed annoyed when I questioned him. I explained to him about my dogs broken jaw and floating mandible and he still grabbed her neck forcing meds done her throat without explaining what he was gonna do. I feel like he hurt her $4500 jaw surgery because now she doesn't eat, And is very timid. Time will tell. I do not recommend this vets office nor will I ever go there again. read more

I used to take my dog here, and honestly i never had a problem (she passed) got two new pups 3 (years now) i can honestly say after covid this place became less than average. Employees at reception are rude- and their less than impressive vet techs treat pets like they are over it- not like they enjoy their job. Needless to say done with this place. read more

This is gonna be a biased review because these people saved my cat's life. No bones about it, if you save the life of my loved ones I'm going to give you five stars. But I'm not completely biased; they certainly earned their stars. About a year ago one of my cats, Guinea Pig, was being super lethargic. Just lying around behind things and panting and having some weird discharge. We called another animal hospital in town and they told us we needed to take her to a vet immediately, no questions asked, RIGHT NOW. St. Paul was the closest to our house that would do a walk in and w/in a few moments of us getting here there we got to see a doctor who took her for a few quick tests and told us that she had a pretty wickedly bad infection and would need surgery. $1000 surgery. *gulp* After explaining our situation to him (college students, car payments, rent, etc) he let us pay about a fifth of it then and give him the rest when we could. He did the surgery that day, boarded her for a week or so to make sure there were no complications and then returned her good as new. Now she is fat as a goose and happy as a clam. Would recommend this vet to anyone with a sick animal of any type. Best vet I've ever been to. read more

West Milwaukee Veterinary Care - Happy doctors. Happy patient. - Veterinarians Near Me - West Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The only clinic I've taken my pets to in Milwaukee. The staff are always so courteous and friendly. The prices weren't drastic for reasons for being there. The clinic stays open until around 9 most nights. Even when packed I've never spent longer than hour during our visits. read more

I use this vet clinic on a regular basis and I like the fact that it does not take appointments, it is a walk-in clinic with evening and Saturday hours Their original pretense was that they called themselves "The Working Mans Vet" and were listed as a low-cost center. But just like everything else prices are creeping up. There is a large number of services they have on site. x-rays, some labs, dental, spay or neuter, microscopic testing, anesthesia,​ just be cautioned that I took my dog in for a rabies shot, they called him in and gave him his shot and when I saw the bill they had only given t​he-year​ rabies instead of the 3 years​. When I asked about it, I was told: "Well you didn't​ ask for the 3year!" I guess I just assumed he would get his three year and that they as the professionals should​ have clarified. Live and learn I guess. Otherwise,​ the staff is very good. D.​r Phil, Dr. Ben and the owner Dr. Singh are all very good at basic stuff, shots, ears spay​, ​neuter, minor surgeries​, The even neutered my rabbit, but I probably would go to one of the emergency​y centers if it was something more complex. (I do like MECA). but I hope St. Pauls never changes and remains a walk-in​ clinic for routine issues. It is most convenient​​ read more

See all

The wait was extremely looong (a little over an hour waiting to be called in my car).....but worth it. Dr. Phil Sower gave my dog Hank a great check up and did an anal expression and gave him a prescription for an ear infection in both ears. He's starting to feel like a new pup :) Maggie O read more

Good hours. First come, first served. See any doctor available... which means multiple trips can have varying results and communication can scary from good to fair. Prescriptions have to be picked up - no email/fax/etc. Great option for flexibility in hours - unless its a busy day. Or you forget your prescription. read more

I have been a beloved pet owner my whole life and only take my fur babies to the best, St. Paul vet is amazing, caring and affordable. I truly appreciate them seeing my babies during the pandemic and doing what they can. I had to have my puff "cat" put to rest, they let me stay in the room with him as long as I needed, I had a private cremation and they sent me a beautiful card and box for him when he was able to come home. Thank you for all you do, you made it as special as possible for me and again thank you for serving our community! read more

My brother and I brought his 3.5 year old white Siberian Husky, Snow in because he had apparently swallowed a tennis ball at some point in a previous day. I was watching him. We had tried three other veterinatry ERs and it was just too expensive for surgery. We were pointed toward St Paul's. Dr. Donahue was fantastic in explaining everything and the price was reasonable. It turned out that Snow did not need surgery because Dr. Donahue instinctively tried to get Snow to throw the ball up as previous vets did....only this time it worked and alot of money was saved. We really appreciated their efforts. Thanks for great sevice! read more

West Milwaukee Veterinary Care - Veterinarians Near Me - West Milwaukee, Wisconsin

The customer service here is absolutely horrific. I called to get replacement anxiety meds for my little dog who relies on them and was lectured and even berated by the staff. My other dog had gotten into the meds and destroyed them, hence the need for replacements. After speaking to 7 different members of staff, all of whom did not help and passed me off, I was told that I could not get replacements meds because I had just picked up his refill. And if I absolutely needed them someone else there would have to sign off on it. My dog is currently going through withdrawals and suffering and I am not being allowed to get the meds to help him. After all that I was called a shitty person for getting frustrated and anxious about the situation. After not getting any help at all, other then yet another note left in my dogs file that I needed more of his meds, I called to get the owners information to contact them directly. I was put on hold and then the phone was picked up and unceremoniously hung up on. It was very obviously that it was deliberate. My family has been coming to this vet for generations and have always had great care but recently, that care a service has disappeared completely. I understand we are in the middle of a pandemic and everyone is stressed and frustrated but it is no excuse to talk to customers this way. I would even understand if it was a one time thing, people having a bad day I get it, but this happened numerous times. It is horrible and completely unacceptable customer service. The owner needs to address their staffs attitude, immediately. read more

Affordable veterinarian care for your pets. Convenient hours to accommodate everyone.

Zero wasn't an option... Arrived at 11:40am on a Friday and was told there were 10 people in front of me. My son and I waited 2+ hours in the car with both our dog and cat (they don't allow anyone in the waiting room, you wait for a call). After 2 hours I called and was told there were 5-6 people still ahead of me. I'd seen at least 10 people go in and out the doors. We found another vet, made an appt and left. They called me after FOUR hours to say it was my turn. The voice mail apologized saying they were short doctors that day. I called back to have our pets records moved to the new vet and a snippy person informed me, after I suggested telling people they were short doctors when they first called in, that the entire industry is short doctors. But followed up saying they weren't short doctors, they were busy with sick pets. Basically your healthy pets mean nothing to them, and neither does your time. So unless you have all day to wait in their lot for your turn and enjoy dealing with rude disrespectful employees, find another vet. read more

I have been a customer of St.Paul Veterinary Clinic for 30 plus years. The care is fine, but the way they handle the intake is awful. You have to call in when you are there and then wait for them to call you when it is your turn. I waited for over 3 hours to have my dog seen. I called twice to get an update as to where he was in the list. The second time I called a very rude gentleman told me to stop calling and I was 5th in line. I waited for a call for an hour and fifteen minutes, then I did call back to make sure my dog was on the list and they said they called me and left a message. Not true. No call, no message. If they did they called the wrong number. The girl that answered told me my dog would be next. I watched 2 other animals go in. I left and went to the emergency care hospital. This was a most disappointing experience. When I got home I found that they in fact did call and left a message on my home voicemail, not on the cell phone like I originally told them. So they did call, but on the wrong phone. They made a mistake that cost me another hour of waiting. This is not about the care. It is about poor customer service. They should consider taking appointments or come up with a better system. Maybe it is calling ahead to get registered and then they call you 1/2 hour before so you can then come from home and you not wait in your car for 3 plus hours. read more

The vets are nice and respectable but the lady answering the phone has no respect at all, we waited outside for a hour and 20 minutes and I called to see how much much and she got super rude with me, I would recommend somewhere where they're a little more respectful. read more

PLEASE DO NOT TAKE YOUR PETS HERE!! If I could give 0 stars I would. By far the worst experience I have ever had at a vet. I not only waited in the parking lot for three hours with my injured, anxious and sick dog but also had a less than unsatisfactory experience with staff. I understand being short staffed and having extended wait times because of said, however I was called to bring my dog in for an opening and still managed to wait hours...??? Poor scheduling and compassion for my sick dog. Not to mention the large bill for my pup to be examined- which I had to ask for said examination after I was told I was going to be charged for and questioned why nobody looked at my dog yet. I wish it ended there, the icing on the cake was the doctor that I waited over three hours to see. She was unprofessional to ann extreme and was clearly under the influence. I was uncomfortable my entire visit and my poor dog has never been so anxious. Save yourself the trip and the money and find a place that cares more about their patients and paying customers. read more

This place is very terrible to take your pet. I had a 6 week old puppy with low glucose and was diagnosed with hypoglycemia. They gave my dog some glucose treatment dewormed him and sent him on home within about 10 minutes. Me trusting the vet because they're supposed to help us out. I woke up the next morning to my pup dead lifeless which crushed soul. This place has very little care for any of the dogs that comes in and out of there. I would never recommend them ! read more
