The staff was friendly and the office was aesthetically pleasing. To get an allergy shot and my dog express cost me $270; simply outrageous. I spent more time in the waiting room than I did with the vet. The vet criticized everything I did to take care of my dog from him needing vitamin e supplements to new food. I left in tears. My dog is my baby and he is very well taken care of and to be recommended everything under the sun felt like I was being sold products and procedures through criticism. Don't take your animal to this vet unless you want to feel bad about yourself and overpay for veterinary care.

I have been bringing my dog to Northern Oaks for about two years now. I am very pleased with the amount of care he recieves when i bring him in. All of the assistants and receptionists are so happy to see him. Whenever i have a concern or question, all three of the doctors are quick to reassure me in whatever the situation may be. Most of the time it turns out to just be me being a paranoid pet owner, which brings me a lot of relief! This staff makes the health and well being of their patients priority and will always find time to meet their needs, whether its a nail trim or an emergency! They have a life-long client with me, thanks to their compassion and knowledge. The clinic was recently remodeled and looks top notch! Not to mention it is the only animal hospital i have been to that doesnt smell like animals! Whenever i am there, all staff is working diligently to ensure that there are no accidents or messes left of any kind. These are just a few of the many things that set this place apart from all of the rest. I definitely recommend Northern Oaks to any person who truly cares about their pets and wants the best care for them. Go by and see for yourself!!!

The staff and doctors are thorough, competent, and extremely caring. The concern they show for my pet and my family is extraordinary. It is also very clean and never has an animal odor. They always have pets for adoption that have been fixed and vaccinated. The doctors have stayed after hours before to treat my dog and I know we are always in the best of hands. The groomer is also exceptional. She is very detail oriented. If you have had issues getting what you want from a groomer, you will be so glad you found this one. Reasonable and met all of my expectations.

After reading a few of the reviews I felt I was obligated to voice my own opinion on this clinic. I have been in there many times with my dogs and cat. The front staff is always very sweet and friendly. The techs were very caring and gentle with my pets, I've never felt they were unqualified. The prices are the usual for any vet clinic in town; unless your talking about the low cost clinics or shelter programs. I did my own price shopping before choosing this clinic. I have also noticed that they always seem to have kittens in there for adoption. One time I asked where they were coming from and the receptionists said they get them all the time, either dumped on their door step or clients find them. They take them in when they have room and care for them until they can adopt them out. They even fix them and give them shots before they go home with their new family! The receptionist even told me they have adopted out a few dogs that were abandoned there too; she did say that adopting dogs out was not the norm, but they try to help out when they can. I think that is amazing of them, because as a pet owner, I know how expensive the neutering and shots can be. The doctors are all fabulous and very knowledgable. They have a new vet, a male, Dr. Philips; he is so nice and informative! The other two are females and very nice too. I haven't seen Dr. Vargo yet, but I've seen her with other people and she seems very caring and excited about her job. Dr. Byrd has been there since I started coming and she is great. I love my visits to this clinic, it's always a good experience.

The office staff is not helpful, their techs don't seem to know what they are doing, they are VERY expensive and their animal health exams are short and incomplete. There are ALOT of other vet clinics in this area to go to. Avoid this clinic if you love your pet. They are also not supportive of local rescue organizations. Dr Byrd is the only bright spot in this clinic.

Dr. Vargas at my service. I found her (and her assistant) to be very thorough and friendly. I consider they went beyound their duties, and I'm happy about that. I am from Oklahoma and it was my first visit to their hospital. My dog, Yuki, was at ease with them and her problems are very rapidly becoming "past" tense. For the services and examinations they performed on Yuki I definitely feel their fees were very fair. I will definitely return when I am in San Antonio and if needed. Also, the facility is clean and odor free and easy access. Yuki and I offer our thanks. :-)
