We have seen Dr. Quinn for many many years. He has cared for 4 of our dogs and has always provided excellent care! He is very thorough and never rushes us. He takes the time to answer any and all of our questions! He has figured out tricky things with our tiny poodle and has gone above and beyond! He is very easy to talk to and has so much compassion! He is an excellent vet and we are so thankful for him and all that he does! Our two dogs absolutely love Dr. Quinn!

I’ve only been for the puppy wellness check and first vaccines but I’m already very impressed. The came across as very knowledgeable and friendly and my usually shy puppy seemed to love the place which was shocking. My cousin is an amazing vet in North Austin and I was so sad to leave her care when I moved to Boerne but she also confirmed this is a great clinic and so far I agree! The pricing so far has also seemed very fair. So happy I found Herbst!

When the large breed dog mom gets her first cat ever she needs back up. So grateful to have found Dr. Willis and his staff at Herbst. Always thorough, patient and kind. Three years later…she greets us at the door daily, wags her tail and fetches balls. Slightly confused but healthy and thriving :)

The vet techs and Dr. Behrand are so good with our cat. He doesn’t mind going there at all. They also are very reasonable about which tests to do, or not do. We feel like Cheddar is getting very good care at Herbst.

They have saved 2 very sick, old, dogs of mine in the last 2 years. They were both trying to die on me, but "not today". The one 2 years ago is still going strong now that his anemia is under control with food per the vet. Current little one is getting better, but he has a liver infection, so it'll take time. Dr. Thomas is very thorough and explains all of the options instead of going with the most expensive, which can be the easiest. Highly recommend!
