Birkdale Animal Hospital

Better availability of appointments than other vets in the area. At other places I tend to spend a lot of time in the waiting room but that has never been the case at Birkdale Animal Hospital. The employees have a great demeanor and are very accommodating.

I can't imagine going anywhere else for the care of my pets. We recently had to put my 12 1/2 year old buddy to sleep. Dr. Mark is by far the most clinically talented, caring, compassionate vet I have ever met. The staff is wonderful, every doctor we have seen here is top notch, the service costs are fair, and (most importantly) they treat your pets like members of their own families.

Dr Mark is the best veterinarian, hands down. We’ve been taking our dogs to him for 15 years and he truly cares about your furry friends. Dr Mark has a heart of gold and is simply a great human being (funny, caring, intelligent, sensitive, and relatable). We wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Dr Mark and his team are the best of the best. He and his team helped keep our yellow lab (Cayman) alive a few years longer then most vets would have given Cayman a chance. Years after we lost Cayman Dr Mark and team helped our family dog Bruce with a torn ACL. The surgery and recover was affordable and care and recovery easy with the physical therapy that was laid out for us. Dr. Mark and team are viewed as part of our family with the love they provided our dogs for over 18+ years (2017).

In the 15 years I lived in NC, I tried several vets. Birkdale was by FAR the best. They were so kind, compassionate and knowledgeable...and surprisingly reasonable on price. I also felt they gave me the most practical, healthy solution for my dogs, rather than the most expensive (hard to find in Lake Norman!) I was actually moving out of the state when I found them, my havanese mix ate poison. After examining her, the Dr. said extreme measures weren't necessary (thank God!). With Dr. Mark's treatment, she was better within the week and I didn't have to take out a second mortgage to cover the bill. There were a few panic moments within that week though and each time, the Dr and staff really listened and either explained or took prompt action. It took a huge weight of worry off. Right after the poisoning, my other pup ran off after a car accident and was missing for 3 days. Naturally, I brought him here when we found him and once again received great treatment. Both times I was panicked and left completely reassured that my furbabies were going to be fine. Love Birkdale Animal Hospital! I so wish they were in my new location!
