Parkway is a great place. The staff are very caring and compassionate. Donna knew how concerned I was when I called about our sick dog and she was able to get us worked in the same day. When we got there, the tech Linda, made us feel very comfortable and at ease. Our Vet Malachai was very welcoming. He listened to all our concerns and came up with a plan of care and offered a "next step" plan of care in case what we were doing didn't help. They made sure we knew what each medication was and how and when to administer. We left feeling comforted and less stressed knowing that our dog received great care.

Have been bringing both of my big dogs here for years. Lovely staff, down to earth vets that give you all the options but don’t pressure you one way or another. Minimal waiting in the lobby. They also show you potential pricing ahead of time for any procedures or protocols.

My dog was very sick because of Petland, they took him in with with no questions asked and treated him that day. My puppy is alive because of Parkway and I'll always be thankful.

Was a happy client for several years until we had taken my pet in for his yearly check up. Knowing he has had preexisting conditions and a special case it was alarming when a different doctor suddenly gave him a different diagnosis without taking important steps such as running test or scans and proceeding to give us medication. After trusting our gut- we got a second opinion at a different location. Here they ran further test, advised us to not give the medication until he was referred to a specialist to find that more accurate reasoning of his condition and told us the medication for our pet that was given to us from a veterinarian at Parkway, was not even for his species and could do more harm not knowing the true cause of his condition. I am upset and advise other clients to get second opinions, especially when there is no hard evidence of a diagnosis and recklessness in prescribing medications that would have put my pet even more at risk without taking further steps in understanding the condition. Giving us the wrong prescribed medication without hard evidence of the condition was a temporary bandaid in this case but could have ended terribly.

I was able to get an appointment quickly, the vet that saw Amos, our cat, was very nice & knowledgable, gave us good options for his treatment and made constructive and easily implemented suggestions to help prevent, or at least ameliorate, a recurrence of his chronic UTI's. All in all a good experience and I like the vet's treatment and attitude toward Amos. Our nurse, Linda, was awesome - helpful and friendly - and handled our very challenging critter with compassion and care - despite the fact he tried to bite her! Thanks Parkway, you done good!
