BEST VETERINARY HOSPITAL AND CLINIC IN LOUISVILLE!!! Let me just say, I never write reviews but I am compelled to scream from the rooftops how GREAT this vet office is after yet another visit and reminder of how they stand above the rest! I can't say enough about the care, compassion and empathy that Dr Robertson and her staff have shown me and my pets over the years. My furry friends have had several ailments that other "big vet clinics" in Louisville (you probably all know the ones I'm talking about) either misdiagnosed or flatly refused to treat. In stepped Dr Robertson and her team of incredibly talented doctors and staff. They kindly took the time to truly understand my concerns, appropriately diagnose the issue and walk through treatment options. Unlike other clinics that make you wait hours and then spend two minutes with you, spending the entire time with their head in a clipboard; the wonderful people at Bannon Woods take their time to explain everything and are so very kind to my pups while doing so. From my understanding it is a family run business but the amenities and state of the art medical devices/tools they have are second to none and compare to, if not surpass, any large city vet chain I've been to in the past. "Cutting edge care" tucked away in a country setting in Fairdale. I've since moved far away from the practice but will never go to another vet office. I now drive 40 minutes from Prospect to visit Bannon Woods. If you love your fur children, THIS IS THE PLACE TO GO! Pictured is my pup Teddy after his latest check up.

I love Bannon Woods! I take my pup here since he’s 12 weeks old. They’ve always been good to him. There’s been two occasions when he got sick and I called them and they asked me to bring him in right away without making me wait long hours like other clinics. Love this place and I’ll definitely keep bringing my pets here. :)

I will start out by saying the doctors and staff are very considerate and always treated me and my pets with kindness. I went there for many years with several dogs. However, two of my dogs were diagnosed with heart failure due to a cough. The first was put on heart medications and shortly after died of kidney failure. The vet I took him to retrieved his blood work from BW and said his kidneys were showing signs of failure when the bloodwork was done which was shortly after he was put on the medicine. I was never told this by the BW doctor. If I had, I would have stopped the medications. My second dog was put on the same medications and the same dosage, even though he was twice as big as the first. He took it for six years with blood work every six months. When he started showing signs of kidney failure, I ask for a referral to a cardiologist who did an echo which showed his heart was normal. She stated he would have never lived six years with a heart condition and the cough was environmental. Let me add that his cough got so bad at one point that BW even mentioned euthanasia. They put him on all kinds of medicines, including viagra. I kept him calm with the hydrocodone and gave him Benadryl on my own. He recovered after a few doses. Needless to say, I spent thousands of dollars at this place. I now go to Shively Animal Hospital. A no frills place, family owned and operated. Much less expensive and very good doctors. I miss Bannon Woods because it is closer and much more modernized. However, they are not specialist. If they diagnose your pet with a serious condition, such as heart disease, it’s best to ask for a referral to a specialist.

I haven't experienced any negative results. Doctor Sarah is extremely nice and cares for her patients. I wouldn't take my dog or cat anywhere else. My animals are like my kids and I want the best for them. And here is where they will continue to go. I definitely love the staff here.
