Willow Bend Vet Clinic

We’ve taken our dog Sadie to Dr. Brinkley her entire life. Everything from first vaccines, minor emergencies to end of life care. Dr Brinkley and the staff are compassionate and make sure you understand all options for the health of your pet.

EDIT: Although I have nothing but praise for the vet himself, unfortunately, I will be finding a new practice to go to due to the administrative staff. If your pet regularly needs medicine refilled, this is not the office for you. I called and texted the office about needing a refill urgently as I'd lost track of how many pills my dog had left. The voice-mail and texts were never replied to. When I called in two days later, I was told they were ordering the medicine, and it would be here on Monday. Monday rolled around, and they still had not placed the order. By this time, my dog had been off his anxiety medicine for several days. As a result, when we left the house, he had accidents in his crate, ate them, and then threw up several times. Very stressful for both my dog and myself. If this review was just for the administrative staff, it would be 1 star. Original review: They take good care of your dog, even if he has anxiety. Used to go to Banfield. They wouldn't let me go back with him, even though they prescribed me his anxiety medicine, and it rubbed me the wrong way. The staff are super patient and genuinely care about your pet, even if your pet isn't the easiest to work with. Glad I found a vet I can feel confident in for my boy.

We started going to Willow Bend on the recommendation of a friend/coworker because our Shih Tzu had been "banned" from being groomed at PetSmart (they had recommended we sedate him to groom him). I fully admit that Steve (the shih tzu) was a jerk with an attitude in a few situations, but the team at Willow Bend were amazing with him and I NEVER felt like he wasn't welcome or cared for. Steve passed about a month ago from congestive heart failure (and what appeared to be an additional complication). He had been getting sicker for about a year, and when I brought him in, the kindness and compassion of the staff made a very difficult process easier. It's clear that their patients are like family. I highly recommend Willow Bend from the groomer to the staff to Dr. Brinkley.

Best doctor and staff ever. Unfortunately our cat passed today on the way to the vet, and doctor and the staff did the best to comfort us and they tried their best to bring her back. She had 2 surgeries there and it was very pleasant experience back then as well. He is very caring and professional. Very smart and knows what he does. They are also very affordable. He’s honest and doesn’t charge for stupid stuff. I really do truly recommend this vet and I truly thank this vet for comforting us today. Thank you doctor and staff.

Super sweet staff. Solid vet that I've used for years. These guys are the only ones where the pup doesn't freak out and anxiously try and escape the hit squad. He actually likes them. And if my dog says you're legit, that's good enough for me.
