It’s been a hit or a miss with this clinic. I wouldn’t recommend for anxious dogs though. It’s relatively easy to get scheduled, but their priority is not making dogs feel at ease. We transferred our two dogs to this vet since it was closer. We had previously taken them to Lincoln heights clinic and our anxious pup was fine there. Took his vaccinations just fine. Here, it always feels very hectic. And my anxious dog is, extremely anxious here. We have also had just general issues - staff coming to the room thinking my dog was another scheduled dog. Telling us to come in between 7-7:30 for drop off, but then getting told we have to wait until 7:45 for the vet to get there. Vet techs and vets are friendly, rooms seem clean, but I honestly think it’s worth the extra drive for the other vet.

Had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Himmel for my cats annual check up. She was amazing to talk to. You could tell she really loves animals and enjoys the work that she does. My cat Riley has had all her veterinary care here minus emergency vet visits. I think Dr. Himmel is the best provider I’ve had! Cat tax has been added below!

Our family member and good boy recently had a health emergency that necessitated us using their medical expertise to get him back to health. I was nervous about such a surgery going in, but afterwards feel like we were fortunate to have had such excellent care taken of our boy. They did a wonderful job and were so good at making us and our old pup feel confident with the procedures and cared for by able individuals. The staff here is amazing across the board. Met at least 10 employees during our visits this week and thought each one was awesome.

I have an older labradoodle who is experiencing laryngeal paralysis. While this is likely a life ending diagnosis, Dr Himmel helped me by coming up with a plan that can help us determine how much longer she can continue to live a good life. I want to say how much I appreciate not only Dr Himmel and the veterinary technician that helped me but also the other staff. We have worked with Dr Taylor and Dr Kitteridge as well as many technicians and the counter staff. All have been very kind and helpful

I have been using Garland for my pets for about 6 months now but our experience on Friday is what prompted this review. The clinic was able to accommodate a same day exam for our dog since she had been progressively eating less and not acting herself. She was diagnosed with cancer and we chose to say goodbye to her. I appreciated that after bloodwork, the doctor explained her prognosis very clearly so we didn’t torture her with hospitalization and further testing out of false hope. We weren’t present for the testing, but I assume they handle dogs in a fear free manner because she has been very stressed by other clinics in the past. The clinic was very accommodating to make an appointment later in the day so her 12 year old boy could say goodbye and they allowed all 5 of us in the room for the procedure. We will definitely continue to use Garland for our remaining pets.
