Fondren Animal Hospital

I used to bring my cat to this clinic when Dr. Ford was still practicing, and I was always satisfied with the level of care. Unfortunately, since the clinic changed management and Dr. Ford retired, the quality of service has declined significantly. At my most recent visit, despite having a scheduled appointment and being a client for over a year, I waited in the lobby for approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The staff appeared inexperienced and unprepared. They struggled with a basic task such as properly holding my cat to take her temperature, which was very concerning. The new veterinarian, Dr. Harsha, came into the room briefly, asked what was wrong with my cat, did not examine or touch her, and then said he would go print the invoice. After another long wait, a staff member brought me the invoice but could not explain what the medications were for when I asked. There was also an unnecessary fecal exam added for a cat that was clearly presenting with cold symptoms. I specifically requested antibiotic injections. The staff member said “okay” and left, but after another 20 minutes of waiting, I had to ask someone else to contact the doctor because I had a meeting to attend. I later overheard a staff member say the doctor had gone into surgery and that I should seek another vet. Being told to go elsewhere after waiting so long — especially as an established client with an appointment — is unacceptable. This experience felt extremely unprofessional and disorganized. If you value clear communication, proper care, and respect for your time, I would strongly reconsider bringing your pet here.

Best Vet around. Dr Ford and his wife go above and beyond to care for you and your fur babies. You can not go wrong with Dr. Ford as your vet. He is reasonably priced and has compassion for all animals.

Dr. Ford is the best vet that I’ve found. His wife and him are both very nice and gentle. I love that I can always get a same day appointment easily, so the experience of going to their office is great. They also have the best price and is very affordable compare to many other vet offices in the area that I went to before going to Dr. Ford. Highly highly recommend!!

I was deeply disappointed by this vet's recommendation. He suggested surgery on my pregnant cat, even though her life wasn't in danger. I firmly believe this is unnecessary and not conducive to animal welfare. Stay away from this place. Sometimes people forget that animals feel things too, and that ending a life should never be taken lightly.
