The people at NE Veterinary are amazing. My dog developed a spine problem several months ago and Dr. Amy Ward did everything she could to help her get better. When she got too ill to walk or stand anymore, Dr. Ward came to my house on a Friday night so she could die in peace at home instead of in the office. When it was all over she, gave me a big hug. How many vets would do that? I highly recommend NE Veterinary and Dr. Ward.

I have cared for a number of hamsters, and two guinea pigs, mostly foster/adopt from the animal shelter. When they need care, or end-of-life assistance, I have brought them to the Phinney Ridge Animal Hospital. The staff is kind, smart, and caring. I highly recommend them for your little pets!

I brought my cat in last week for a small wound. I had been to ACCES before (the service has always been great, the staff is friendly) and usually waited in the lobby to be put in the room. However this time I was pleasantly surprised when as soon as I walked up to the counter they called for a triage tech. One of the staff came up right away and we went into a close room. I knew my cat was stable, but they still checked his vitals and I was happy to see a face right away. My visit was a little long (i think because they had a lot going on in the back area) but the lobby is comfortable, there is a children's area and DVD player, as well as vending machines. I was put into a room and the tech took my kitty away to clean the wound, and he was back very quickly. The discharge was fast, I was given a collar for him to wear and some amoxicillin for the wound. I would recommend them for sure, they are a very special group of people. For tips, I would say to remember that this is an emergency center, so sometimes you have to wait while the more critical animals are seen and that the prices are going to be a bit higher because they are there at night and available 24/7. Another tip would be to bring a book or something to do in case you have to wait a bit.

I've been going to Greenlake Animal Hospital for a long time (about 15 years) and I've always had good experiences. It's worth going to see them and since they have multiple veterinarians at the office you have a choice as to who you see. Lately I've been specifically asking for Dr. Mortimer as he has helped in some major cases with our pets and I know he's getting to know their personal histories, which I really like. I take both cats and dogs to see them and have yet to find a reason to do otherwise.

After our cat, E, was diagnosed with kidney disease, our then vet said that nothing could be done about his lack of appetite. We had heard good things about the Cat Clinic, so we went there.\nWe saw Dr. Nemec and we told her E's history. She listened to everything we had to say and the first thing she said was, "We'll get him feeling better and then he'll start eating again." We had lost hope that he would ever feel better, but she was totally matter-of-fact that this would happen.\nAnd it did. She did blood tests and recommended several changes in his care: gave him antacids for acid stomach, adjusted his hydration schedule to make him more comfortable, found foods he liked, treated his anemia, etc.\nE thrived with the attention to detail he got from Dr. Nemec. The year after she took over his care was much better for him than the previous year. He got his appetite back, had more energy, and was more playful.\nWhen Dr. Nemec would take blood for a test, the next morning at 10AM she'd call with the results, and explain any changes we needed to make. This way there was a quick response to changes in his status.\nWhen E had surgery they let us visit him in the ICU. When E needed a procedure (blood sample, urine sample, etc.) they always let us accompany him, if we wanted, while the vet techs worked on him. They knew how to restrain him so he became compliant and not agitated.\nDr. Nemec was always prompt in returning my calls, and the vet techs were also available to answer questions.\nWe felt that E was getting excellent care, and we were, too. Any problems that E had were dealt with promptly and expertly. Dr. Nemec was clear and honest about E's prognosis. When it was near the end she told us.\nIn summary, we had expert, compassionate, patient, and attentive care at the Cat Clinic. All the vet techs are fabulous -- knowledgeable, efficient, and kind.\nA month after E died we adopted another cat. The next day we took her to the Cat Clinic for a complete exam and shots. We trust them completely.

My wife and I have gone through about 5 different vet offices from West Seattle to Ballard over the past 15 yrs. Ended up at QA Animal Clinic and have been with them for the past 5 yrs. Plan to stay with them too! Sure we've gone to places that charges less. And places that charged more. In fact with one place that charged less, what started as a routine checkup ended up with us having to put our cat down. We should've known. They were cheaper. They were faster. But faster ended up costing the life of our cat. Just as I'd never take my car into a Jiffy Lube. My pets are too important to me. Never again!
At QA Animal Clinic, as many of the reviews have noted, they are super friendly people and we definitely get the warm and fussy from them. Their waiting area is small but they get us into a room fairly quickly so I have not had to wait with more than 1 other pet owner at a time. No, they are not the cheapest but you know what, they are not pushy like other vets either. e.g. for my older cats, other vets kept warning me about how the kidney disease will shorten the life of my cat and so we need to do all these procedures on a monthly basis and we need to feed them this prescription diet... etc. (we've had older cats died from this before so we know) Sure QA offered the same stuff but they also offered alternatives. We only visit on an annual basis. My cat's kidney was stable. And we made our own kidney food for many years (way cheaper and all organic unlike these chemical foods). When it did come time for our old buddy at the ripe old age of 17 to pass, the whole place was there for us. Our vet (Dr. Westerdahl) let us say goodbye for as long as we need. We had friends come down to say their goodbyes too. The dr told the office staff to go but they all stayed, an hour after closing. They all loved our cat too. When we were done, we signed the cremation papers and they sent us home. Telling us not to worry about the bill til next week. They have been the best and we'll continue to bring them our cats.

I give Doctor Jones with Northwest Veterinary Hospital 5 stars! At first I wasn't sure about him because he is very analytical and wasn't "touchy feely" with my cat in the beginning, but after explaining possible diagnosis for my cat, he then gave gave him a very thorough physical. I am very happy he saw my cat because you can tell he has had 40 years of experience with animals in his level of personal accountability. I went in thinking my cat had a "hairball" and was SURE that I knew my cats diagnosis before the vet did, so I was being a little difficult and was unhappy at first that Dr. Jones wasn't agreeing with me. Dr. Jones in a very professional way set me straight, and set me on a good plan to check every avenue in a holistic approach towards figuring out what my cats issues are. I was very impressed by his diagnosis. It turned out my cat had "LUNG WORMS" and apparently that is a very rare condition in cats and usually isn't diagnosed correctly the first time. Dr. Jones (along with Dr. Donovan) took a very careful analysis of his blood and with other conditions, determined this. I was very impressed!! Also, they recommended later on when I could afford it to get a chest x-ray because my cat might also have asthma. But what I loved is there is no pressure to do more with them, they take your finances into account and carefully weight the urgency of the matter. They do not push for yearly inoculations but pay attention to when they are truly needed for your cat based on age, the last time they were inoculated. I was so impressed. I very much recommend Dr. Jones for anyone that wants superior vet care!
Pros: Extremely experienced
Cons: none

I genuinely LIKE this veterinarian. One-on-one, personalized service and Super caring veterinarian. I really appreciate the fact that my pets have a trustworthy neighborhood vet. Very good care of all of my pets. Very reasonable price, especially in contrast to the other Cap Hill vet (Broadway Vet which was fabulously expensive). Able to get quick competent care here with professional staff and as I said, great veterinarian.
