Brought my dog here today for a third opinion (yes, third!) and left feeling incredibly frustrated. My dog has been vomiting dark blood (the digested stuff) on and off for about six months and recently this month she has pooped blood twice too. She was diagnosed and treated for ulcers before but it didn't seem to be curing the problem. So I was recommended to this vet and went in. My dog is also an italian greyhound and I heard they knew greyhounds well. My other vet sent over all the documents, including ultrasounds and x-rays that have been done. When we sat down with Dr. Greenbank, things just seemed to get ridiculous. I'm not opposed to holistic treatments. Not at all, in fact. My second opinion came from the Holistic Vet in Edmonton who I do actually recommend! Anyways, none of my questions or concerns were answered. We also brought in a stool sample from today that was bloody and they never tested it or did anything with it (except take it from us which is annoying since we would have liked to have it back if they weren't going to test it, so we could take it to another vet). Dr. Greenbank then did what she called "voodoo" which involved one of the vet tech girls putting one hand on my dog's leg and one hand up in the air. Then the Dr. would touch things to my dog's back (like sealed chicken breast, or a sealed bag of treats) and push on the girl's arm... Girl's arm pushes down? My dog is allergic to that food. Girl's arm stays firm? She can eat that food. ........WHAT?! Seriously... what?! There is absolutely no way that this could test for that, the food was SEALED. This, to me, would be no different than someone putting their fingers to their temples and dreamily telling me that "I see a future of stomach ulcers for your dog..." It was nonsense. This followed by Dr. Greenbank feeling my dog's belly and telling me she had a hernia and that she was going to perform some chiropractic adjustment to fix it. She rubbed my dog's belly for maybe 3 seconds. When I left after, I saw that they charged me $42 for that "chiropractic adjustment". FORTY-TWO DOLLARS. For a 3-second belly rub that I didn't even say I WANTED. You cannot charge me for a service that you don't tell me about. That is ridiculous. 90% of the appointment was spent with Dr. Greenbank telling us about a special product that you add to the dog's homemade food. It felt more like a sales' pitch than a vet appointment. And I left $110 poorer (because, yes, I have spent over $2000 on my dog in the last couple months) with absolutely NO new information. Dr. Greenbank's advice? Keep my dog on the herb supplement that the vet I saw at the Holistic Vet office prescribed me. So for $110 I got to listen to a sales' pitch, my dog got a 3-second belly rub, and I was told to follow instructions given to me by a DIFFERENT VET. And asked to come back with all the food and treats my dog ever eats so she can test my dog for intolerance with her "voodoo"... This was incredibly frustrating. I can't even believe what went on, and I can't fathom all the good reviews. So unhelpful. Thanks for taking more of my money so easily, even after hearing how much I had already spent on my poor dog.

Greenbank Vet was recommended to my by a friend with the same breed of dog as myself (Golden Retriever). Dr. Greenbank has been wonderful so far and all the techs are very pleasant and seem to really care about their job and my dog. Recently we had a problem with our dog who stepped on some nails and had to bring her in first thing on a Monday morning. I hadn't made an appt but really needed to get in to see vet so I walked in, explained and they took me in immediately. They fit me into their schedule and I left with the proper meds and care instructions (they even showed me how to administer a tricky procedure with a syringe before I left). That week I phoned 2 times to get advice for healing and they did it over the phone without making me book an appt for the few questions I had. They were very encouraging and supportive. I would recommend this vet in a heartbeat!

I've taken my pets to Dr. Greenbank for over 15 years. Never had a problem or an issue with her services.

I have taken my 3 dogs here for many years and LOVE THEM> Dr. GREENBANK AND DR.RIVAS ARE THE BEST veterinarians I HAVE EVER USED! I HAVE BEEN A PET MOMMY FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND ALSO BREED DOGS. They always take their time with my pets and my family and have saved 2 of our dogs (one was hit by a car) the other a cancerous tumor. I'm not sure what this person below is talking about as Greenbank vet office has ALWAYS offered the lowest prices around. I should know as I vet shopped a lot before I found them. Not only are the VETS the best but their staff is amazing too. The best is when the vet takes their time to call me and just check on how my dogs are doing after they were seen. The personal care and true love of animals is priceless! This VET team is the best and I always tell all my pet owning friends about them and they all thank me for the referral. I will never use another vet office! Keep up the good work Greenbank vets!!!!

WARNING!! Dr. Greenbank is more interested in Money than she is the comfort of the Animal!!! Need proof?? I had just transferred to Greenbank Veterinary Clinic from another, due to the distance I needed to travel to get my Dog's regular prescriptions. Based on this sites comments, I chose the Greenbank Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Greenbank - the clinic is close to home. My first impression was OK - she seemed nice, knowledgeable and appeared care about the animals . . . Until my dog needed his prescription refilled and Dr.Greenbank outright refused to script what I was asking for - specifically, Meloxicam in tablet form for my 55lb Border Collie. My dog had been on this particular medication for over a year, combined with another, I have been successful in keeping him comfortable - he has been diagnosed with hip displasia and severe arthritis in both rear hips. He is 7 yrs old and considering his breed, not to mention the cost of up to $10K per hip, I am hesitant to do a hip replacement - I just want him to be comfortable and agile enough to go for a daily walk, and maybe play a little. Dr. Greenbank insisted she would only give me Metacam, WHICH IS MELOXICAM but in liquid form - made for greater accuracy in dosing SMALL animals. Not a big deal??? Well, here is the difference in price: Meloxicam @ 1/4 tab per day = $0.36/day = $131.40/YEAR VS Metacam @ 2.5 ml per day = $1.94/day = $708.10/YEAR SO?? Money VS Animal?? I think it's obvious!! I would NOT recommend this Vet to anyone who loves their pet and cannot afford to excessively fill a vet's wallet!! And for no reason!!!
