Woodlands Veterinary Referral

I can't speak highly enough of Dr. Barker and the team at Woodlands. We came to her on a referral as our dog had been diagnosed with cancer. Dr. Barker discussed in detail the condition and together, with her recommendations, a course of action was determined. As a result, our dog had over an extra year of quality of life. Even at the end, I felt as if she truly felt our pain. If human medical doctors exhibited the compassion she does, our healthcare system would be completely changed for the better.

I've been driving 45+ minutes to bring my dog to Woodlands for regular cardiology check-ups for 3 years now and I can tell you with 100% confidence that Dr. Barker and the entire staff at Woodlands make the trip well worth it! The customer service they provide is exceptional. They send a pre-visit questionnaire prior to check-ups so I can let them know if there are any changes, which I appreciate because there’s nothing worse than trying to fill out paperwork in the waiting room while trying to soothe my nervous dog. We've never had to wait to be seen, which is pretty incredible. We've been to a lot of doggie specialists and no wait time is unheard of. I wait in a private room while they take my dog back to perform a thorough exam and then we get to see Dr. Barker, who we absolutely love! It’s always clear that she’s actually reads the questionnaire I fill out so she knows why I’m there, but she still takes time to catch up with us. She asks probing questions to find out what's wrong and takes time to clearly explain everything so I understand what's going on. She has a very warm and welcoming “bedside manner” so she always puts my mind at ease and makes me feel “heard”. Then after our visit they send a follow-up email to me and our vet that includes a full report with detailed, thoughtful notes. The customer service is exceptional! It is obvious that everyone at Woodlands truly cares about their patients!

Dr. Mix is wonderful and explains things so that you understand what's going on with your pet. Although costly my dog has been doing so much better since starting heart medication. Worth every penny to know what's going on and ensure his quality of life. Thanks Dr. Mix!!
