We took our puppy to see a doctor and he was amazing! He took his time late on a Friday evening to explain everything we needed to know about raising our first puppy.

Arrogant, rude, and condescending, to say the least. I've put up with it for the past year because he seemed competent but the last time I took my cat there for a bladder infection he lectured me about how my cat did not have a bladder infection but rather a behavior disorder. He used me inappropriately in his examples about urinary tract infections and asked me equally inappropriate questions. When I finally got him to run the tests they revealed that my cat did in fact have a urinary tract infection. Overall he seemed to care less about the health of my cat and more about talking down to me. The staff was polite and helpful as always.

I saw Dr. Tolleson as an emergency walk-in when I found an injured, unconscious kitten in the parking garage at my office one afternoon. Dr. Tolleson saw us within minutes of our arrival, even though I had no appointment. He was kind and helpful and explained all the possible outcomes for the kitten. He needed to keep the kitten for a few days for treatment, and called me each morning to tell me how the kitten was progressing. His fees were reasonable. His staff was friendly and very gentle with the kitten. Kitten came home after a few days and is just fine.

I recently took my 11 month Bulldog for a pre-op evaluation for a right-side cryptorchid testicle. I have been looking around everywhere to see if anybody could perform a one-sided neutering only, seeing how my dog has the left testicle in place, I do not wish to have it taken out. Everywhere I asked, they told me it couldn't be done. One place I went in Garland, off I-30 and Beltline, actually agreed, only to call me on the phone, my dog already on the operating table, anaesthetized, and told me that they were hoing to charge "extra, since the testicle was inside the abdomen", when I tried to clarify, for the Nth time, that I was fine with the extra charge as long as we all understood that that was the only testicle I wanted removed, it turned out they had misunderstood, and were, in fact, about to remove both!!! I almost had a hard attack and immediately told them to get my dog off that table, after which they still wanted to charge me for the anaesthesia...that was funny. I had to speak to the vet herself, who after a little reasoning apologized for the tiny mistake and agreed not to charge a cent. Good for her, or else I would have made it a point to sue them. Dallas Veterinary Clinic, on the other hand, understood my problem, the vet spoke to me from the beginning and told me that although not a common thing, he could do the procedure, and at half of the cost the other guys were asking. When I went in for the pre-op, which was nice, and made me realize they didn't just want my money, but to evaluate my dog's problem first, the staff was friendly and efficient. The vet diagnosed right away what the problem was, a "high flanker", not in the abdomen, like the other idiots said to get 35 dollars more. And when I asked him about the possibility of a orchiopexy, not cutting, but just stitching in the scrotum, like we do on humans, he honestly said, he couldn't do it, but immediately reffered me to the speacialists that could. He did not try to over step his knowledge and skills to get money from me. At the end of the first visit, the nice lady at the front desk even helped me register my dog's microchip right on the spot, by calling the chip manufacturer and asking them to fax a form, which she, in turned, faxed back for me at no cost. I loved their efficient, pragmatic approach to their practice and their genuine care for our pets. I recommend this clinic and I will never go elsewhere. Thank you.

I recently moved out of Dallas and am having trouble with finding a vet that is as good. I took my small dog there for 7 years and the price was fair and treatment was excellent. They have full service grooming which I much prefer over petsmart/petco. I'm now dealing with new vets that are trying to cram as many unnecessary and expensive tests as they can. Instead of worrying about my dog I have to worry about getting in arguments with the bill.
