These people are life savers! I was in a serious bind when the vet office in Bessemer that I had made reservations with to board my babies failed to inform me of the fact they would be closing early that day! I called All Creatures right before they closed on New Year's Eve, and these wonderful ladies were so understanding they stayed for 30 minutes until I got there, and was able to go to my aunt's funeral the next day because of them! Thank you so very much!

There is not enough wonderful things I could say about everyone at All Creatures Pet Clinic. I feel so comfortable boarding our fur babies while we are out of state I am able to enjoy myself knowing that they are in such great hands (They enjoy it as well). (All 3 of our babies and even a guinea pig receive all of their care here) Our German Shepard had an "lump" on his belly and Dr Hankes was able to diagnose a tumor and went up and beyond to send it for even further testing now our Snow is healthy and happy thanks to his dedication. The compassion from the staff after I recently lost one of my fur babies was greatly appreciated . If you have never visited the clinic I would highly recommend you do so, You would not be disappointed with their services.

Dr. Hankes, Denise, and the gang at All Creatures are tops when it comes to taking care of my baby girl, Sasha! BYW, please don't tell Sasha she's a c-a-t. Sasha was adopted from All Creatures 12 yrs ago as a 6 wk old when Dr. Allen held the reins and my son was a lab tech. With the arrival of Dr. Hankes (and my son was gone to college), as you can imagine there were questions about the changes coming. I have been so very pleased with the continuation of great services and getting to know another vet who is not only a well trained physician but truly loves all the pets that come in and wants the very best for them and their guardians. The big bonus is that Denise (Sr. Lab Tech), who Sasha usually sees - and Sasha's very shy, has won over my baby and even has her choosing to stay with Ms. Denise instead of me after injections and exams some days. That says A LOT for the caring ways of the team at All Creatures and who they are as crew members/care givers not just employees.. Recently, Sasha had a period of rapid weight loss after getting a kidney issue under control and Dr. Hankes found that she had a growth on her thyroid as well as fluid around her heart causing breathing issues. She was a very sick little girl. Dr. Hankes treated her heart and brought it under control and within a period of weeks. Dr. Hankes, teamed with Dr. Hall, was then able to remove the problematic portion of the thyroid and the growth. Now 4 wks after surgery, her heart is doing well - she's gaining weight and running round the house like a wild 4 yr old instead of a 12 yr old. Dr. Hankes and Dr. Hall did a great job with the surgery, the staff let Sasha recouperate in her basket with a blanket from home and are now keeping a tabs on her for a while to make sure her remaining thyroid is functioning properly. Thanks to their great care, we're looking forward to many more years together. I have recommended All Creatures to my family, friends and new neighbors who are in need of a vet and have for years and hope you'll see them, too. I don't know of any Pet Hospital around where you can get the top quality care PLUS the Super Care Givers that are on the team with Dr. Hankes at All Creatures Pet Hospital. You'll be glad you've found one of the gems of not only Gardendale but the Greater Birmingham/Jefferson Area.

. Dr. Hankes an his staff are wonderful. I have been using All Creatures for many years now and they have always been there when ever I have needed them. My baby (Gunter) has been going to Day Care since he was 10 weeks old. He goes two days a week and he LOVES it. He get so excited when he see me pull up in front of the building he can't wait to get out of the car. I have never seen a dog so happy in a vets office before. I would highly recommended for you to check out All Creatures Pet Hospital. There the BEST!!

Fast service on a Saturday, my Akita had a number of issues and Jeff the Vet was able to quickly determine a course that led to Mulans full recovery. Thank you Jeff! We then had our Yorkie-Poo neutered by Jeff and it was very smooth absolutely no issues. Again Thank you Jeff and the team at All Creatrues Pet Hospital.
