Long wait but very helpful when my kitty stepped on an electric stove. Explained everything very well by the vet on site. $135 for the visit not including antibiotics and pain meds.

I'm shocked to see so many negative reviews. It certainly seems that everyone expectations and experiences are different here. But my experience was fantastic. My dog got suddenly sick on the morning of New Year's Eve. Whining, crying, howling, vomiting, freaking out, etc. My regular vet was closed. We called the emergency vet right by our house- at capacity. Called another emergency vet- at capacity. It was pretty clear that, with so many vets closed for the holiday, the emergency vets were all bursting at the seams. But ra... read more

I have been taking my pets to this hospital for years! Something like 25 years! The service is now horrible! They don't do chart reviews. I placed a request with the visit to have my dog's nails trimmed, and they made an excuse that he's too nervous! I have paid my last pet visit to this bad pet service here! DON'T take your pet there unless you want to pay for services you don't get!

I have taken my dogs and cats to Columbia Pike Animal hospital for over 20 years...vets included Davis Hall. The founder; Reid Hall, Candice Flynn and Dr Kirchart. In all cases the advice and care have been exceptional. Yes, when you have a animal that needs special treatment, it is not inexpensive. But their prices are not any different than other vets. At least now you can decide if you will pay for pet insurance or thru installments. If I have any difficulty, it is that they can be very busy, and you can remain on hold f... read more

I can't recommend this place. They have a serious shortage of vets. I was there for 5 hours. In fairness they told me they are a triage hospital and take the most serious pet situations first which I understand. However, 5 hours is ridiculous and there were people there waiting even longer than me. I was told I could leave with my pet and would get an email with her results in two hours which never occurred. I called at 6am in the morning and was on hold for 10 minutes before I got to a doctor. I called back at 230 to inquir... read more

My, how things have drastically changed here. Have been a client for 2 dogs and 11 puppies over a 20 year time span. What used to be a friendly, efficient place is now a factory. My "appt" in Aug took over 4 hours and it was to obtain one vaccine needed to board my dog (at a new facility since Columbia no longer has any boarding services) The long wait was attributed to coming out of Covid. ? Today, I had to be late for my 1:00 appt, so I called. I apologized and asked if I should reschedule. I was told that because I was o... read more

Let's start with customer service. First, the take staff could not careless why your are there and trusting this business with your four-legged family member. The are brash, and pay zero attention -- for the and the business it seems to be a numbers in, numbers out, and pay your bill now! Second, paying the bill. It was a 20 minute wait after arriving, and it literally took about 8 minutes for two shots and a nail trim. AND THEN ANOTHER 20 MINUTES WAITING TO PAY THE BILL!! WHY???? Moving forward, I will drive for better... read more

I have been coming to you guys since 2013 or 2012 and this is the first time I felt completely awful I made a decision to bring my dog for examination. The service I was provided by Laura Fink was terrible. I specifically asked for Dr. Jones or Tango, and I got Laura fink who didn't even ask anything of the symptoms my dog was having and just told me my dog looks ok??? Really? And over the phone? Other doctors were coming out and talking to their patients in the lobby and she just called me and told me that my dog my need bl... read more

I felt like I didn't need to pay nearly as much as I did because my cat was misdiagnosed as healthy two days before her condition got worse. I get it, bacterial infections can be hard to see sometimes, but the solution should never be throwing pain killers at a pet owner who's experienced something like this in the past with the same pet. The fact that I had to go back 2 days later and was charged for a procedure that was 100% avoidable if she was treated when I originally brought her in is outrageous. As a pet owner, I was ... read more
