This was our first visit. The entire team was very nice and knowledgeable, and the clinic was very clean. Rocky did very well. Anytime he gets to go in the car he's a happy boy!

This is the worst place ever. We foster for It Takes a Village and so we have to take their animals there for their shots and etc. The people at Eastside Animal Hospital are rude, will not allow you to go back with your pets and are completely hateful. Everytime we have a scheduled appointment, they will jump others in front of It Takes a Village patients. I do not and will not ever take my pets here and wish It Takes a Village would go elsewhere.

I love this staff. Sarah is an angel, and Dr. Simms is probably my favorite vet I’ve worked with. The staff here genuinely cares and wants to help. They will work with you. Although our kitty crossed the rainbow bridge despite our best efforts to manage his condition, we know that while he was at ESAH he was well-loved and cared for. I appreciate you all for your gracious care.

Two words nickel and dime, for any reason. My dog is all up to date with his shots and I sent them proof, but they always required some other shot my dogs going to have to get, that's going to raise that price. My dog got a bath there once and it was the best bath he's ever got. That's the only reason I'm giving two stars. So I received an email for a $15 bath, and I made a appointment. I confirmed the price and suddenly it's $150 - $230. See images. This is the only place Iv taken my dog and receive any push back regarding my health records or need for additional services. The staff and facility seem top notch, but I will never be back.

The care for the animals is purely perforative with zero compassion for patients after they receive payment. We moved out of state and never received updates on when our cat was due for care, juggling a lot it was totally on us to maintain his records but life happens. He is on a medicine that has serious side effects when abruptly stopped and the team refused even a single refill unless we drove 8 hours to see them in person. We were loyal patients for 5 years. Missing doses of this medicine can be fatal for our cat and dangerous for members of our household. Incredibly disappointed in the lack of care, understanding and human decency by the entire team at EHS.
