The absolute WORST place ever! Time and time again, they are horrible. The latest (today) was I made an appointment for a visit and after waiting for almost an hour in the parking lot, I finally approached one of the staff and they said because they have so many appointments that they cannot take my dog in...even thought I had made an appointment. In the past, my dog has come back with bleeding paws from nail trimmings and they don't even say anything when checking out. They have never called to give an apology for any o... read more

**if you love inattentive, rude, and shitty service I highly recommend** Just take your business elsewhere. I honestly don't know how this place has so many reviews. The customer service is absolutely the worst thing I've encountered in my life. You think the food industry is horrible, HA check out this place. They're so rude when answering the phone, not attentive, and place you on hold forever. I called to place a medicine refill for my animal on Thursday, was told they'd call me the same day to let me know when the refil... read more

I took my pet for the first time here. Will be the last. After they brought my dog they forgot to check me out. Over 30 mins passed and I asked hey can I go in to pay or pay online?? They told me someone would call me. I continued to wait until someone called and said "oh seems like we forgot to check you out." I've called twice to get receipt because my dogs visit didn't require any medication and she was in for about 15 mins, yet the bill was kind of high. Her usual vet is a little expensive and even they wouldn't have cha... read more

This is not about the quality of their veterinarians. This is about the office/administrative staff, pharmacist and owner. My elderly dogs have been a long-time patients of Columbia Pike Animal Hospital. Every time we go, something else goes way off the rails and I convince myself that continuity in my dogs' care is more important than my being ripped off or being treated like my time doesn't matter. This weekend, however, was the last straw. If you have been there, always check your bill. I have never EVER been there ... read more

Worst experience of my life. Dropped off my healthy puppy for a basic procedure, ended up paying over 3k to bring her back to life. A friend of mine lost his dog of 11 years because apparently five check ups with MRIs etc wasn't enough to diagnose cancer at Columbia Pike Animal Hospital. Stay away from this horrible place!

My Dog Went to Columbia Pike Animal Hospital for a Routine Procedure but ALMOST DIED under their care. DO NOT SEND YOUR PETS HERE. On December 22, 2020, our 6-month-old English Bulldog Maya had a scheduled spay and cherry eye correction. We dropped off a healthy 6-month-old puppy at Columbia Pike Animal Hospital for relatively basic procedures and ended up living out a nightmare finding out Maya had pretty much died for 3 minutes under the hospital doctor's care. Instead of moving forward with running tests and figuri... read more

The LONG wait times for everything-appointments (at least 45 mins past scheduled time) and just medication pick-up (40 minutes) are OUTRAGEOUS. Time is valuable and this place doesn't seem to respect that. A follow-up text or call explain the wait would have been appreciated.

This clinic has staff that are completely incompetent. Tony, responded to me and was completely unprofessional. His staff lied several times to me, canceling my appointments last minute. Making me take an elderly dog in and out of a car repeatedly. This is even after calling to confirm appointments on the day of. Please do not take your pet here. I also sat outside and witnessed them dragging a dog inside who was not willing to go. This is after the owner asked repeatedly for them to change their behavior.

I brought my dog here in an emergency, only to wait for an hour while they took other people that arrived way after me (I'd called ahead to make an appointment and everything). After they finally called me to get info about my pet, I was chastised for not bringing all her records with me - I'd rushed out the door because my pet was in pain and it was a genuine emergency so that was the last thing on my mind. When they came to get my (very small) dog I asked them to pick her up and carry her in since she was scared, only to h... read more
