Merry Christmas!William A.William A. ★★★★★ I recently came to Southwest to seek out a second opinion for my dog. I had been told by her previous vet that surgery wasn't an option to remove a polyp that was constantly bleeding, and we were just going to have to deal with it. Dr Beddoe examined her and told me laser surgery absolutely was an option and had it scheduled along with a dental cleaning for the following week. They will also be sending her polyp off to make sure its not cancerous. The entire staff were very attentive and friendly. Dr. Beddoe made sure I understood everything that was going to happen, how her surgery went, and was very detailed about her needed aftercare. I can't thank them enough! We will be switching over to Southwest Animal for regular care for our dogs in the future.Erin G.Erin G. ★★★★★ Southwest Veterinarians have been our vets for over ten years.

Normally it has run $20 for nail trims and $50 for well visits.We took them this time for a health concern, and found there were several extra charges beyond what was expected ($215 total) including “advanced medical instructions” because they are going to teach me how to administer medication to my birds. But, had to pay it once it was done and will be trying to save money by limiting future visits and doing more care at home.Jessica M.Jessica M. ★★★★☆ Clean facility that provided top notch care for our cats.
