Columbia Pike Animal Hospital & Emergency Center

I've been taking my dogs here for about 18 years. I am, overall, very happy with them particularly Dr Kirchart who I try to always see. Dr Flynn (who has now left sadly) was wonderful too. The only complaint I have - and have had since day 1 are the reception staff. Very rarely do they make you feel welcome, and some (particularly one young man) are actually surly. They are also incompetent - more than once I've been left forgotten in the waiting area while they chat on the phone or to each other. All I wanted to do is check out. The checkout process is unbelievably long. Prices are ok but read the bill thoroughly - on an almost $700 bill recently for dental and extractions, there were charges that were unnecessary. They did remove them when questioned. Overall though, it is a good vet and my animals have had good care, which is all that really matters.

Excellent vets, never a problem getting an appointment promptly. Some of the vet techs seem a bit green but otherwise I would recommend this vet for canine medical care.

We saw Dr Nancy Barnett and liked her. We also had a major surgery done there, and their care was fine.
