About Southkent Veterinary Hospitals
Southkent Veterinary Hospitals is a local veterinary clinic that has received mixed reviews from its patients. While some customers praise the facility's caring staff and prompt treatment, others express disappointment with the clinic's increased focus on financial policies rather than animal care. The clinic is commended for its attentive approach, as evidenced by a customer who appreciated the thorough examination, clear cost estimates, and compassionate handling of their dog's surgery. Customers also highlight the convenience of the clinic's location within the Caledonia community. The staff are very caring, and they have taken exceptional care of pets over the years. The clinic is also known for being gentle and thorough, especially with older animals, and they try to get pet owners in quickly even when busy. The technician and staff, including Dr. Huffman, are praised for their professionalism and kindness, with one customer mentioning that Emily even helped get their dog to the car. However, some long-term customers have noticed a shift in the clinic's priorities, feeling that the emphasis is now more on revenue than on the well-being of the animals. Concerns have been raised about the requirement to leave a deposit on a credit card to secure an appointment, which may exclude pet owners without access to such payment methods. Overall, Southkent Veterinary Hospitals seems to provide a mixed experience, with both positive and negative reviews reflecting the clinic's strengths and challenges in balancing quality animal care with financial considerations.
I have been taking my dog to Southkent for years and have seen many doctors. I just recent had to take my senior dog in to make sure things were ok as she is not doing well. The technician, Emily, and Dr. Huffman were incredible. They answered all my questions..not only made sure to make my dog feel comfortable but me as well. Emily even helped me get my dog to my car. So caring and professional.
The staff are very, very caring and have taken exceptional care of our pets over the years. Sometimes it is hard to get quick appointments but they are busy for a reason.
Highly recommend.
Dr. Claire Stein is the best! Our dog Ellie came in for an annual checkup and she found a few things that required follow-up. Dr. Stein was so sweet, easy to work with, and thorough. Our Ellie girl is living her best life now. Love Southkent!
