Wonderful veterinarian clinic. Dr. Waddle, and all of her staff are extremely friendly, kind, and genuinely care about the animals they treat. Every bill is completely itemized, so you know exactly what you're paying for as well. The only vet I'll go to!

Called DeSoto Veterinary Hospital to see my cat, who had an animal bite on her hind leg, which left an open wound, and I was very concerned about the possibility of infection and it not healing properly. They were able to take me in right away. They were friendly, yet very professional (yes, both!), and took amazing care of my cat. They explained her treatment plan and care, and they even followed up twice to make sure she was healing well. DeSoto Veterinary Hospital will now be my pets' primary caregiver. I am more than willing to drive the distance for much better care from a vet and staff who are kind, compassionate, communicative and respectful, and who truly care about the welfare of my pets. I can't say enough about how exceptional these folks are and what a breath of fresh air it was to interact with people who are knowledgeable, friendly and professional. My dog has an appointment next week, so I will be sure to update my review after her visit.

Dr. Waddle & her staff take the best care of ALL of our fur babies, 6 dogs & 3 cats. Dr Waddle & her staff go above & beyond to answer our questions & calm our fears. When our babies have to stay longer than planned, we know they are receiving the best care & are being loved. Dave & I are so grateful for all they do for our pets

Use to like this vets office, now they want to charge a $60 no show for a vet visit I MYSELF didn't even make, and wasn't aware was made. I've tried to call and clear that up, and was told they basically didn't care about my personal life and what I had going on, and that they weren't going to waive the fee. That's fine, I'll pay the fee and they can lose my business. Great veteranarian, poor business. ***Editing to add since I can't comment back*** As far as the appointment and me telling them I have covid, I thought that was the appointment I had made. I was unaware that my FRIEND had made another appointment for my dogs. I myself didn't receive a text or notification. Secondly, the receptionist did not politely tell me she was unaware of the situation, she rudely told me "she did not care what I had going on in my life, and that they were not going to waive the fee" DR WADDLE is a great veterinarian, no doubt. However, this experience has left a bad taste in my mouth, and is the reason (although it may not seem like much to people, but it is to me) why they will lose my business. I'd chose $500-$600 a year over $60 for a lifetime anyday. I Was upset with them and not my friend for the fact that the secretary was so rude and unprofessional.

Dr. Waddle is so kind and compassionate. She loves her four-legged patients with all of her heart. She has worked hard to try and squeeze in my pets last minute when I really needed her, even when her schedule is already full! She's the only doctor at the clinic, and we can really feel the love she's poured into it! It's truly like family.
