How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Creekside Vet 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
Some pet medications prescribed at veterinary clinics may also be available through local or online pharmacies. It can be helpful to compare pricing when appropriate to reduce ongoing medication costs.
Consider pet insurance

Dr. Crowe is amazing. She was very "present" in her initial office visit with Tavor which we greatly appreciate. We wanted someone local that had a deeper understanding of the doberman breed and we believe we have found a home with Dr. Crowe.

Creekside Vet Clinic has been the best vet practice I've been to. I've only been there for 4 or 5 years, but they've been extremely competent and caring. Dr. Crowe is wonderful with my Doberman. Fortunately, he has only had an upset stomach from a bacteria and minor tooth tartar to date (he is 5), but she always gives him plenty of time and answers my questions. My older dog had more medical problems and Dr. Woodward gave him the most incredible care and would do extra tests if asked and even call me on her day off to check in on how he was doing or if blood test results came in. This is a great practice and has a wonderful staff. They go above and beyond for their patients. Highly recommended.

Took my 6 year old drama-queen beagle, Delilah, to Creekside for the first time this week. She was due for her annual vaccines and exam, and we had moved too far from our previous vet to continue her care there. From the moment we walked in the door we were treated like family. The staff members were all very welcoming and friendly, making my timid little girl feel relaxed. Dr. Crowe came in and explained updates in vaccine protocols and did a thorough exam. Afterward the wonderful staff members were able to trim my pup's nails (nothing short of a miracle!) Normally after vaccines, my Delilah experiences a lot of pain at the injection site, and pouts for three days afterward. I am pleased to say she was a happy, pain-free girl and is not giving me the cold shoulder! I highly recommend Dr. Crowe and Creekside Vet Clinic. They are rock stars! Thank you for such wonderful care. ~Christine & Delilah

Before leaving Creekside, I had been a client for almost five years. I cannot speak highly enough about Dr. Woodward but the vet that runs Creekside Dr. Crowe is a different story entirely. My issue began in February when Diamond, my Chihuahua, started to have accidents. I took her to the vet to find out what the issue was it turns out she had diabetes. The first flare up was when Crowe right away wanted to do the most advanced and expensive bloodwork test. The test and the visit would have been over 300 dollars. Um no. When I told her I couldnt afford it she looked at me dumbfounded and say 'oh well we have options.' I ended up with pre-OP bloodwork, I believe that costs 90. Big difference. Then when the tests came back as diabetes she wrote me a prescription for Humulin/NPH. I was told by the receptionist that she called it in at CVS and would be ready for pickup. Humulin costs 178 a bottle. I was shocked. Talking with others in the medical profession I found out that I could get NPH at walmart for 25 dollars. Did anyone explain that at Creekside? Nope. Then Crowe convinced me that my dog needed to get her teeth cleaned. As she quoted me at 330-660 and offered me a payment plan I felt that I should do it. She said that Diamond wouldnt need any extractions as many of her teeth fell out. How much did the cleaning end up costing? 810 dollars. How many teeth got extracted? 6. Exactly. Then in the beginning of April Diamond accidentally collided with another dog of mine. As it happened on a sunday I took her to the emergency vet. They said that Diamond was a bit sore but would be okay. Her breathing wasn't right that night or the next so I called creekside the following Monday and the vet tech I talked to said to give it a few days to she how she developed. I kept getting scared and called again on Tuesday and reiterated how Diamond wasn't breathing right. A different vet tech who is new and was extremely rude was ridiculous and said she couldnt find Diamond in the system and made me repeat Diamonds symptoms three different times. Then she said could set me up for Friday because that was the earliest appointment. Diamond never made it to Friday. She died on Thursday. I had changed vets on Wednesday the day before she died so she could be seen earlier. Did anyone asked how she was doing? No. When I called on the day she died to pay off the remainder of the bill I owed for her teeth cleaning did anyone ask if she was doing okay? No. When I requested more information be transferred to a new vet did anyone check up on her? No. After five years, Diamond meant nothing to them. I kept saying she wasn't breathing right and no one cared.
