How to Save on Veterinary Costs at HealthPointe Veterinary Clinic

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Compare prescription pricing

This group is wonderful. We had a sick Guinea pig in 2020. Even through all that Covid protocol they took great care of Snow! Recently we saw a Dr. about Shadow our other Guinea pig. So far they have been very helpful and caring.

Took both of my dogs in today for a Rabies shot which it what was scheduled I don’t like being nickel and dimmed to death which is what this place does. Both of my dogs are brother and sister and have been to the vet on a regular basis and I was charged today 436.00 for the 2 of them that was just supposed to be a visit for rabies. I have a 3rd dog that I took to another local vet probably larger than this one and I had the identical same stuff do to here it was $75.98 So the way I look at it if you want someone to nickel and dime you to death here your vet, all I ask it to be straight forward and honest. They also did not get my records for the other vet but so only did a 1yr on one of my dogs vs the 3yr. This is a shady way to do business.

We have been with Healthpointe now for about as long as they have been open. A wonderful staff. They are so good to all of our fur babies.

In the past we have had excellent care for our dogs with Dr. Jacobs. Yesterday we brought our dogs in for their yearly visit and saw a different vet. She was impatient with our pups, annoyed with my questions regarding care for the dogs and when I brought concerns regarding effects of medication on the dogs she gave me the “scientific basis” for them and basically dismissed my concerns. Even the first assistant that came in also seemed annoyed with my questions and treated me like I should be more aware of what they believe is needed for their care. If I had not had the pervious positive experience I would not be returning here. Thankfully I am able to request Dr. Jacobs for future visits.

My 13 year old dog got really sick and the team at HealthPointe was able to give us an appointment at the same day. Dr. Wiltsie explained everything what is going on with my dog and about the treatments. The staff called me on the next day to check how's she's doing and also called me back fast, after I had one concern. Great service, friendly and experienced, definitely recommend this clinic.
