I have been a loyal customer since 2010 and appreciate the affordability and great care they provide to my dogs. The veterinarian and staff care for the animals and don't push any unnecessary services. It gets busy so book ahead for your appointments.

I was having a hard time with my pugs ears. I took her to my vet multiple times and the infection would come back after 2 weeks. I live in Corpus Christi but my mom has always used Dr. Woods so I took her there for her ears and to get her teeth cleaned. He called me to speak to me about her ears and was very nice/informative. He gave me an allergy medication for her and drops for her ears. This was a game changer. She is a different girl! Her ears have been doing great for the past 2 months. She also seems more comfortable. Thank you Dr. Woods! I would highly recommend and wouldn’t mind the drive back to Austin for amazing care.

Dr. Wood, Sr. and his son take loving care of my feline family. My cats are as healthy as they can be whether they are being treated for an itchy ear or diabetes. I am always appreciative of the time they spend with me and the time that the technicians take with my pets. Everyone at Balcones treats me like family! They also helped Olive, Addie and Sophie have long and healthy lives and everyone is kind and understanding! My "old ladies" could not have received better care anywhere else. Their kindness and compassion means so much to me. I hope I never have to leave this area. My pets and I would very much miss Balcones!

Love this father and son veterinarians they are both very nice and so helpful and explain everything in detail to you and take time to sit with you they never rush you through and their prices are the best in town! Not like other vets that take advantage of the situation and over charge you. They just did ACL surgery on my Yorkie and I'm very pleased with the outcome. You may have to wait a little while to get an appointment but definitely worth the wait. The staff is also very nice, friendly and very knowledgeable especially Gilbert. I definitely recommend them to all my family and friends.

Drs Woods have been looking after my Sheepadoodle for a year now and I am pleased in the extreme. From the friendly demeanor of both the front desk and back room staff to the professional care (and down-home wisdom) offered by Drs. D and j, we continue to receive excellent attention to every concern. If my sons were still living at home I'd probably take them to Drs Woods too!
