Dr. Effie is the best in the game when it comes to rabbit care. She is so kind, personable, and knowledgeable about my pet bunny’s needs. I’ve been taking Basil to her for 5+ years, and she even had to get surgery to remove an abscess in 2023 and has been doing well since. Basil also has otitis and Dr. Effie has been great to ensure various options of care for her. I can’t recommend her enough!!!!

I trust CityVet with my cat’s health! Both of my rescue kitties have been to the clinic for their wellness exams and first vaccinations. Dr. Ross and Dr. Giannopoulos have given great exams and gave me plenty of time to ask all of the questions. Lucky to have such great vets near me! Pixie and Miso said they’re grateful too!

I have always had positive experiences at City Vet Old East Dallas. Dr. Effie is amazing. She is a scientist with a great puppy side manner. I also have June Bug groomed at City Vet. Brigette does an excellent job. June actually enjoys going there. The grooming prices are comparable to retail locations. The atmosphere is much calmer and less crowded.

Dr. Effie is the best, sweet, and passionate veterinarian who cares deeply about your pets! I’ve brought both my bunnies Thumper and Floppy to her and absolutely trust the care that they need to get with Dr. Effie. I’ve been taking my bunny Floppy to her for 3 months consistently back to back since she got e.cuniculi and I want to thank Dr. Effie and the staff as well that were so patient with us and squeezing her in almost every week or 2 to get checked out as her condition worsened. I believe at this point the staff knows my bunny Floppy by the amount of times we’ve gone to City Vet. Unfortunately Floppy had to get her eye removed to ensure she’s not in any discomfort and continue having a happy life without any sort of pain. I was a little nervous at first about the eye removal surgery but I completely trusted Dr. Effie since she’s very knowledgeable and knows what is best for our pets. Fortunately, Floppy’s eye surgery went well and she wasted no time once getting home after the surgery doing her binkies and being the playful happy bunny she always is. I cried out of happiness since it’s been a while me and my husband have seen her this happy and pain free since her condition. Thank you Dr. Effie and the staff at City Vet who were there for us, ensuring our experience goes well. We’re extremely grateful for everything! I recommend anyone who has bunnies or any kind of pet, your pets are in good hands with Dr. Effie and City Vet! They truly care about our fur babies!
