St. Marys Animal Clinic: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We were able to get an appt for Paco our Chihuahua. Dr. Crawford was informative and very caring with his care.
Fantastic experience: Update - 11/23 Really appreciated the extra time Dr. Pires to devoted to addressing all my questions. So glad she joined Dr. Bigelow. A great clinic! This was my first visit to St. Mary's. The vet spent considerable time with me and my cat.. He addressed all my questions. I plan to take my second cat to him in January.
Negative experience: Felt like my animal was in good hands and no need for his muzzle this time I want to add in on this that I was very happy with St. Mary’s until the last couple times I have taken Donald there. He was supposed to have surgery for his skin cancer, and I feel like I was taking advantage of and the job was not done properly the area that was a concern that was supposed to be cut out and stitched up I don’t believe was done right I think she just cauterize the spot and it has grown back 100% or even worse. I’m having to take him to another vet just a month and a half later and this was costing me $1000 so now I’m gonna go another thousand dollars in the hole most likely I am very pissed off at St. Mary’s. They never even called back to take out his stitches. I was very busy with the holidays and work and kind of slipped my mind about his stitches and I had to call in to get his stitches taken out. I’m very upset about that this place has gone downhill and I think it’s time for Donald and me to go find a new vet. If I could give them zero stars, I would
Fantastic experience: The staff is super friendly and professional. My discussion with the vet was detailed and clear. She was compassionate about my cat. The care provided is exceptional.
Positive experience: Vet was great and attentive. Nice staff. Waiting room small with only 2 chairs. Wait was longer than expected and pricing higher than my previous vet.
Fantastic experience: My local vet for years. Good prices and prompt service. Get your pet established as a patient and they get you right in.
Fantastic experience: The Doctor and Staff are Awesome! It's Nice to see there are still Honest and Caring People in this world Thank You Dr.Crawford, Christopher and All the Staff at St. Mary's Animal Clinic for taking care of Taz
We are absolutely thrilled to hear about your positive experience at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Fantastic experience: The entire staff is very professional, knowledgeable, caring, and friendly. They genuinely care about our pets' health and happiness. Also, my dog does not do well around other dogs and they made accommodations to keep my dog and other clients' dogs safe. Great job! I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else.
Negative experience: I took my elderly male Chihuahua on Friday the 6th cuz he wasn't eating and I knew it was his teeth everything was fine until on Sunday I noticed the prescription for the antibiotics on the label said 14 tablets and it came in a packet where you had to poke it it get the pill out well I counted only 10 pills in the packet and mind you I paid $47 for these pills so I call them up Monday and they said there's no way that there can only be 10 pills unless someone cut across the packet I look at the packet and sure enough someone cut off the packet and I told them that they said well we have someone double check them why would I lie about 4 pills missing I know when you are on antibiotics it's usually a 14 days thing. They literally told me you can come in and get more pills but you will be charged full price for them. I was like are you kidding me it was their fault I live alone no one was with me from the day I took my dog there and the whole weekend so your telling me I have to buy more when it was your guys mistake about the quantity the paperwork said 14 and so did the sticker on the envelope they came in but there was only 10 pills and I'm supposed to give it to him every 12 hours now I have to give it to him once a day because of their mess up. Very unprofessional and my mom referred them to me cuz she takes her animals there I will never go there again and I will tell everyone I know not to take their animals there because of this They just lost my business and my mom's plus all the people I know. I disgusted that it was their mistake and they couldn't correct it why would I lie about 4 pills come on DONT BRING ANY ANIMALS TO THIS PLACE WHOEVER COUNTS THE MEDICATION OUT DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO COUNT OBVIOUSLY.
Positive experience: Overall good experience, didn't discriminate against my pitbull and showed compassion and educated me on my dogs medicine
Fantastic experience: Great experience, with caring personnel who did a thorough exam of my dog Susie. They made sure that she was handled gently, and addressed all my concerns.
Fantastic experience: I brought in my little Shih Tzu for an ear infection. They were so sweet to schedule me so last minute. I was very anxious about everything but they put my fears at ease.
Fantastic experience: Friendly, compassionate and caring. Dora was seen on time and the checkup and subsequent immunizations took less than a half an hour. I really appreciate the staff at St. Mary’s clinic.
Negative experience: I'm quite conflicted because I've been taking my dogs here for several years and things started out strong and I was happy with the care they received. I appreciate that we never had to wait more than a few minutes, and the person at the front desk and on the phone is always super kind. Where I feel a bit conflicted is with the care my dogs have received in the last year. In April my dog started showing super concerning symptoms almost overnight and when I brought her in for her appointment I feel as though I was written off as being overly dramatic/concerned almost immediately. The vet I saw was one we had not met before, and it was clear that she immediately zoned in on what she thought the issue was and lowkey disregarded everything else I was saying. My dog was spinning in circles uncontrollably, could not see out of one eye, and had lost her entire sense of direction. The vet said it could be an ear infection or valley fever which is very reasonable, but she also kept mentioning that sometimes mini Aussies are just quirky and one day go kind of randomly crazy. She kept harping on the quirky thing and it felt like she had a strong bias. By the time I was getting ready to leave I was in tears because my dog was clearly struggling so much and it was super hard to watch. The tech looked at me like I was insane for lightly crying and the vet was also like woah, no need to cry yet! The tech honestly seemed rude but the vet was clearly empathetic which I appreciated. BUT, I ended up at the emergency vet 3 times within the next 72 hours, and at a freaking neurologist getting my dog a spinal tap and MRI just one week later. Turns out the quirky behavior was actually due to inflammation in her brain (MUO), and if I had waited around and not followed up persistently with outside care my dog would likely have been dead within a week or two. She still had a high chance of dying in the ensuing months but has luckily made a slow and steady recovery. Outside of once during that first week St. Mary's has never reached out to check in on her or even see if she was still alive, and that kind of bummed me out. I also feel like they took advantage of me when I brought my other dog in for a potential eye infection a few months ago. It probably wasn't a big enough deal to even warrant medication but they dangle the "what-if" over you and next thing you know you're another $100+ poorer. The last few experiences have just bummed me out and we've decided to move on.
Fantastic experience: Professional staff. Quality of services is excellent. Services are very affordable compared to other clinics. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: They’ve seen my cat multiple times on urgent care visits, til we could get him seen by our primary vet. I appreciate them for helping my kitty out in a pinch
Fantastic experience: Great experience. Staff and Doc were amazing
Fantastic experience: They are always so sweet and attentive to our pets. They give them treats to help distract them during exams and don’t force temp readings if your pup is exhibiting anxiety. They give great guidance and reminders and are fairly priced.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic staff! Both Chris and Dr. Crawford were wonderful to work with and were incredibly helpful with my difficult cat.
Fantastic experience: St Mary's staff was incredibly helpful, very kind and extremely compassionate professional! It is by far the kindest care my pet has EVER received. God bless the entire staff, especially Dr. Doyal, Amy the technician and the receptionist Jolony. I am am forever and blessed with the service!!!❤️
Fantastic experience: My wife an I lost our sweet little Celia the morning of January 14 2026. I want to thank the wonderful staff at St. Mary's Animal Clinic.
Fantastic experience: Tech Celina was very helpful, professional and patient. Dr. Crawford was as well. She answered all my questions and showed genuine concern for my concerns. Did not feel rushed. My little girl was comfortable and calm.
Fantastic experience: Every veterinarian that has ever examined a pet for me has been competent, yet some really stand out. Dr. Crawford is one of those who really stands out. She listens carefully, she responds to what is said, she gives appropriate information, and she lets you know her concerns about your pet. Sounds easy right? It's not. I was visiting with a very old friend, a dog who is 18-years old. Dr. Crawford was completely sensitive about my feelings for this old guy, and yet she still spoke freely about possible diagnoses, and risks involved in possible treatments. I am the son of veterinarian, and this was exactly what I needed to hear, straight talk with empathy. My old friend is not at the end of his life quite yet, but she told me how to think about that eventuality when it comes. It was a gift.
Fantastic experience: Staff and Dr are very nice. Was very loving to my tiny tiny chihuahua. Dr even called me back personally to give me test results. Good to say that little Peanut is all good
Fantastic experience: Great people. They care about the pups. Facility is clean and welcoming.
Fantastic experience: I find that St. Mary’s animal clinic is very prompt when it comes to services and courtesy to understanding concerns.I have had good experiences with them when scheduling appointments when I can’t get into my own vet clinic for a month out for my concerns
Negative experience: Front desk lady was very rude couple years ago. She had zero customer service skills. I do not recommend this place.
Fantastic experience: Had a very good experience will definitely be going back again!
Fantastic experience: Super caring staff, knowledgeable, clean facility I was worried about my puppy and they put me at ease, very affordable as well. Highly recommend
Positive experience: The staff & veterinarian were very friendly & knowledgeable. Took great care with my cat.
Fantastic experience: Took my dog, doctor reviewed and gave her a prescription. All in all a good experience.
Fantastic experience: Really love this clinic, the Vets there really care about the animals they care for and they also are not clueless to the reality of the cost of vet care.
Fantastic experience: We are traveling in an RV and both our dogs got a bug that caused diarrhea and vomiting . Dr. Crawford saw them right away and they are now doing well on the road to recovery.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Crawford was very patient and kind. Staff was amazing.
Fantastic experience: My experience was great I was very upset over my dog not feeling well the people here were very nice and kind to me and my dog and I will be coming back to them they explained everything very well and I left feeling informed on what I should do thank you all so much
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. My dog was happy as was I!
Fantastic experience: My experience was excellent. Lolly had her yearly exam, shots and lab work. Dr. Crawford was patient and very kind and gentle. I was provided with easy to understand after care instructions. The office staff are caring and very knowledgeable. The office is very clean and organized.
Positive experience: Great place. They sat on the floor with our dog to reassure her everything is alright. They really care about pets here and treat them like part of the family. I highly recommend this veterinary hospital.
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed by Dr. Crawford. She took care in examining my skittish dog, who is only accustomed to being around two old people.
Fantastic experience: First time going to this animal clinic and first expression, was a clean place, went inside and out was great, staff was fantastic and friendly, inside the clinic was clean and very presentable. I loved it and set up appointments for my other pets. Would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: We were a client of St. Mary’s Animal Clinic several years ago with another dog. It was good to be back with our two new dogs. Dr. Crawford was compassionate, efficient, provided the appropriate level of care without pushing for things we didn’t need. She was very kind. Glad to be back as part of this veterinary practice.
Fantastic experience: St Mary's team is always great. Dr. Crawford takes the time to listen and explain and provide options for you and your pet.
Thank you immensely for your kind words about Dr. Crawford and our team at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. We are elated to hear about your positive experience. We are lucky to have Dr. Crawford!
Fantastic experience: Staff at St. Mary's Animal Clinic are very nice, professional, any caring for both of our doggies, Bonnie and Pixie. Glad we chose this Vet's office to care for our doggies.
Fantastic experience: The vet techs were friendly and caring. I liked that they were extra gentle with my sick pup. Both Dr. Doyle and Dr. Crawford were compassionate and gave the detailed diagnosis in language that I could understand. I was not rushed and had a satisfying experience.
Fantastic experience: I cannot express how supportive the entire staff is. I was in the sad position of having to put my cat Chloe to rest. I've never experienced that before and I was a mess. They were so kind and reassuring me it was the right thing to do. 3 days out I know it was right. I hope anyone in that same position will see this and choose this place. It was so calm and quiet. She had a peaceful transition.
Fantastic experience: I gave 5 stars because they have really educated and knowledgeable veterinarians there. The mark up on services and medications are high but unfortunately every vet in this area is overcharging for pet care.
We're delighted to hear about your positive experience with our knowledgeable veterinarians. Thank you for your feedback.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff. Doc gave us several options for care of our pet, even worked us in as a new patient in under a week. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: I have been using this clinic for almost 20 years. It is very well ran. They make you feel like family here.
We're delighted to hear about your positive experience at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. Thank you for your loyalty over the years!
Negative experience: I wish I could give zero stars. I brought my kitten into St.Marys because he was having loose stools and after a scan we found out he had a mass in his tummy, likely cancer. I understand the vets office can’t control the outcome or likelihood of a pet who’s ill but the compassion we were shown was absent. I feel like this office is only concerned about money and they do not genuinely care about the pet and definitely not about the owner. Such a shame , when we brought out dog here years ago the office was a lot more understanding and supportive. We will not be returning.
Fantastic experience: Great care and realistic goals for my fur babies.
We are elated to hear about the great care provided to your fur babies at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and letting us care for Alley and Eustace!
Fantastic experience: Great staff. Reviewed discharge instructions twice. Encouraged us to call if we had questions or our pet was not improving. Thanks, St Mary's Team.
Fantastic experience: Wonderful experience. Everyone personable and knowledgeable. Knew exactly how I feel about my cat. Will be returning!
Fantastic experience: They've taken care of Piggy through his geriatric years!! Excellent veterinarians & vet techs!! Update! We have a new member of our family, Sir Bleu Roux! Dr. Doyle, as always, provided complete & excellent care, advice, & exam at his 1st puppy visit!! I love this clinic and they are like family. St. Mary's has been my veterinary home for years & I wouldn't go anywhere else. Whether it's for wellness, sick visits, or surgery, this team loves our pets. They have expertise, are kind, available, & most importantly they KNOW us & they care!
Fantastic experience: It was great the staff was very helpful and nice to me and my dog Chico your staff has always been helpful and nice to us since we have been going there thank you very much for your help
Fantastic experience: St. Mary’s Animal is by far one of the best vet clinics I have been to in the last 18 years. They took care of my almost 18 year old cat for the last year I’ve been in Tucson. Dr. Crawford is so passionate about her job and really goes above and beyond to go over any medical issues your pet has. Her and her team went above and beyond to ensure me I was making the correct medical decisions for my cat. I would go here again when I feel ready to let another animal into my life. You won’t regret having Dr. Crawford as your pets doctor
We're overjoyed to hear about your positive experience at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. Dr. Crawford and our team are dedicated to providing excellent care for pets. Thank you for sharing your feedback with us and most importantly letting us care for Mr. Murphy. We know you loved him very much.
Fantastic experience: I had an amazing first experience and so did my apprehensive little lady. Everyone that helped me was so personable, accommodating, patient, and knowledgeable!
Negative experience: I have established care for my dogs for many years ago with Dr. Gabe. I took my dog recently and was surprised he doesn't work there anymore. He was the epitome of an excellent veterinarian. The new Veterinarian recommended excessive test costing over $900.00. In my years of taking my dog to this clinic, not once did he recommended excessive test. He was able to treat my dog with 2 or 3 test. He was honest and knowledgeable. I had declined all test except antibiotics. I was told to seek care for my dog elsewhere. Obviously, she was upset that I declined unnecessary test. I would rather take my dog to a Vet who is honest, knowledgeable and compassionate. Good luck!
Mrs. Silva, per your last review, you insinuated that our Dr. was dishonest and you were not coming back. We agree, it seems best for you to seek care elsewhere as you said you would. The Dr. you mention has not been here for three years. Our doctors and staff are committed to the well-being of all our patients and treat our clients and their pets as family. We try our best to provide gold-standard care through diagnostics and treatment plans. Senior pets such as yours that have chronic diarrhea, coughing, and weight loss usually require multiple diagnostics for an accurate diagnosis. While we value your opinion, this is the third time you have said you were going elsewhere which is why we have elected to refer you elsewhere. Please let us know if we can e-mail Mico's record to another hospital that better suits your needs.
Thank you for reaching out.
Fantastic experience: Friendly and helpful staff. Knowledgeable and very reasonable prices. They took very good care of my kitty.
Fantastic experience: Very prompt and caring for our wonderful dog. We're already telling our friends about the high quantity care at St. Mary's Animal Clinic
We're absolutely thrilled to hear about the high-quality care your dog received with us here at St. Mary's Animal Clinic. Thank you immensely for recommending us to your friends! Give Tulee some cookies for us.
Fantastic experience: They do exceptional work with both dogs and cats. They also followup to see how your pet is doing.
Positive experience: They were very nice, but the receptionist was a bit of a grump didn't smile.
We appreciate your perspective and truly hope that everyone is having a smile kind of day next time. With end of life care on a daily basis, we sometimes have a hard time remembering to turn a frown upside-down and for that we apologize. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Fantastic experience: Recently I adopted a puppy and I had to get her vaccinations started and my friend recommended me this place and they are absolutely amazing & helpful!They have really good prices and the staff are really friendly and could answer all your questions.Thank you for giving Canela the best Care she could get!I highly recommend this place

Fantastic experience: The best vet experience I have ever had. They were kind and patient with my shy, gentle giant. The softer lighting and white noise playing made my baby visibly more comfortable as soon as we entered our room. 10/10 would highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Super friendly staff in a clean environment . It was quiet and the time I had my appointment, there was no one else in the waiting room so it made my puppy’s first visit a calm and quick visit for his shots.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Dee! We're delighted to hear about your excellent experience at St. Mary's Animal Clinic.
Fantastic experience: The staff have been extremely friendly and the veterinarians have listened and responded with compassion and knowledge as I've been dealing with a very arthritic older dog. I have really appreciated also being able to get into seeing someone within a few days or less.
Fantastic experience: Always feel the “down home “ vibe when we visit Great staff and caring veterinarians. I have found the best place for my pooch to get check ups and treatment
Fantastic experience: Dr. Desiree Doyle, DVM, gave Nessie a thorough annual exam. Her friendliness with my 3 yo dog put Nessie at ease. She suggested teeth cleaning within six months, so I will have Nessie’s teeth cleaned.
Fantastic experience: Perfect in every single way, dr. Crawford is everything a veterinarian should be. She is our hero.
Fantastic experience: We loved meeting Dr. Crawford. She was so kind and gave out fur baby wonderful care!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic experience. I love all of the new staff there, as well as the remodeling. Thank you so much for caring for my 14-year-old Hershey!
We're glad to hear you guys had a fantastic experience. Thank you for trusting Dr. Crawford and St. Mary's animal Clinic with Hershey's care!
Fantastic experience: Really great staff! They were super supportive for my needs for taking care of my new puppies.

Fantastic experience: We spend the winter in Tucson, and I needed a Vet. A friend recommended St. Mary’s and I’m so glad they did. Dr. Scott was spot on and very nice and informative. Office staff and assistants as well very very curious and ready to help.
Fantastic experience: Veterinarian was very personable and kindhearted. The facility was clean. The staff were nice when I called to set up an appointment and also in person.
Fantastic experience: Very friendly staff. The Dr explained things clearly and was very loving with our kitty :)
Fantastic experience: Was amazing at giving me options for my cat, Todd. Even helped through bad news by being able to offer the best solution to allow my cat to go peacefully at home. Thank you so much for going above and beyond for us and to help give me suggestions to help the other pets at home going through this hard time. I am grateful to be able to take my cat here and get him as much help as possible.
Thank you for sharing your experience Brianna, we appreciate that you trusted us with Todd's care.
Fantastic experience: The new Dr is awesome! She is patient, understanding, and empathetic. She answered my questions called my concerns. My friend, that accompanied me, said she wanted a Dr like her, she is a true gem!
Fantastic experience: I am very happy with St. Mary's Animal Clinic. The staff is so kind and compassionate❤Olive says "Thank you for takin care of me!"
Fantastic experience: We couldn't be more pleased with our recent visit to St. Mary's Clinic! From the hassle-free appointment scheduling to the convenient location and plenty of parking, every aspect contributed to a comforting experience for our anxious dog. The friendly and professional staff made all the difference, ensuring we felt at ease throughout our visit.
Positive experience: I saw a relief vet that I had not seen before with my Australian Shephard Rider. She was a good vet, listened and examined my dog thoroughly. We agreed to do a blood panel and Valley Fever test. The prices were in line for the times. The clinic was clean and I didn't have to wait long to be seen. The one thing I noticed, and it did make me feel a little unwelcome, nobody smiled!
Fantastic experience: Very clean I like the doctor very nice very pleasant. Very understanding. They did everything they could to work with my pet. I do recommend this veterinarian.
Negative experience: Originally from Illinois - take my Rot in due to joint pain (to ensure not broken bone due to injury) and to re-up her rabies shot. Once in, the vet asks if we are from here and once confirming we were not, she proceeds to use a scare tactic of possibly being Valley Fever, asking us to pay $400+ for blood testing along with what would turn into $500 for X-rays. After returning home and reviewing Valley Fever symptoms in dogs, my dog show NO indication that Valley Fever is even an option. And due to the vet indicating that she fears Valley Fever rather than possibly being broken we decided the vet was in it for the money.
Positive experience: I just stopped by this location one day right at closing to get an opinion on one of my mom's cats and the staff was very friendly. They didn't mind looking at the picture I brought in advising to have the cat seen. Poor guy was in pain needing all teeth removed. Thank you for taking time to help!
Your positive feedback is greatly appreciated. We are glad we could assist with your mom's kitty. Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
Negative experience: ***Edited Review because the system does not allow responses*** First, I was required to get blood work on my dog about a month ago and no meds were refilled then, which I was told they would be. Second, your policy is ever-changing and so are your hours. Thus, your "operating hour" policy does not make much sense. Are you suggesting that 24-48 hours means you need 3-5 full business days to do a refill? I would expect a medical clinic to be able to check voicemails over the weekend (which your phone does not accept) or for refills to be made at the end of a Friday. Third, I could be mistaken, but I believe St. Mary's Animal Clinic is corporate owned. Please correct me if I am wrong and please direct me to the actual owners so I can address my issues to them. Fourth, it is sad that a business requires a 1* review in order to do its job. This should have been done weeks ago. In any case, I am going to find a new vet. Thanks. ***Original review below*** This place has gone down hill. They don't call in meds when they say they will and the prices have become ridiculous since it was bought out by corporate vet medicine. Very disappointed in this clinic.
Fantastic experience: We were able to get an appointment next day. After assessment of our Dog condition they sent us to emergency care, it was the right think to do, unfortunately for our beloved dog was no cure.
Fantastic experience: An awesome caring team from receptionist to veterinarian! My dogs receive great compassionate care at St. Mary’s Animal clinic! I totally recommend!!
Fantastic experience: The office manager Megan gave us a friendly greeting upon arrival. There was a sign on display welcoming by name all of the patients being seen that day. My cat was seen very quickly, and I was allowed to go into the examing room with her. Both the vet assistant and doctor were very kind and gentle with my cat and made me feel that they took a personal interest in her. All charges were explained clearly. My experience with St. Mary's was in stark contrast to my last experience at a veterinary clinic in Tucson, which had been less than satisfactory. I definitely recommend the caring staff at St. Mary's Animal Clinic.
Thank you for your kind words and positive review of St. Mary's Animal Clinic. We are glad to hear that you had a pleasant experience with staff. We strive to provide excellent care for our patients and their owners. We are so happy that our welcome board made you and Zeva feel as important as you both are to us!
Negative experience: So we took my dog to St Mary’s Animal clinic on February 26, 2024. We got some medication for her ear. She had an infection. Well now I’m looking at the bottle and it says prescribed February 26, 2024 and it expires January 30, 2024 which means it expired a whole month before it was prescribed to my dog. That’s just disgusting. Come on St. Mary’s animal clinic get it together. I didn’t bring my dog in to receive infected medicine, I brought my dog in to clear up an infection. By the way her ear infection has not gotten any better, now I know why.
Negative experience: If you have a fearful pet, DO NOT take them here. I had just adopted a puppy from a shelter who was very fearful of people and dogs, which the shelter had warned me about. Because of this, I wanted to find a good local vet who I thought would have experience working with fearful dogs. It was the exact opposite. The vet tech approached my dog way too quickly, reaching over his head, even though I had just explained his fear of new people. Then, when he barked, understandably, she condescendingly scolded me about how it was my fault that my dog was barking. I thought it was common sense to not abruptly approach a fearful dog and I am shocked that a professional who works with dogs does not know how to read their body language or listen to their owners when I explained his fearfulness. I had the biggest issues with the vet tech working with my dog because the doctor only saw him for about 2 minutes. Even worse, the clinic was extremely disorganized and unprofessional. I gave them his vaccine paperwork, but clearly they couldn't read because they tried to give him a shot he didn't need for another month. They would have given him the shot if I would not have said something. Then, they also gave us heartworm prevention medication without testing for heartworm first, which can be DEADLY. Since this experience my dog has progressed tremendously and is no longer fearful of people, dogs, or vets no thanks to St. Mary's Animal Clinic.
Fantastic experience: I called these guys to set up a vet for a potential pup I do not yet have and the lady was warm and friendly and started a chart for us. I feel that my puppy will be well seen to and cared for with these folks.
We're glad to hear that you had a positive experience setting up a vet for your potential pup with us. Thank you for choosing St. Mary's Animal Clinic!
Fantastic experience: I wanted to take this time to review this clinic and our wonderful experiences. We have now gone three times. I absolutely LOVE all of the techs we have had. And usually that is what deters is most from a vet! The techs are so patient with my girl, kind, and of course give her lots of love and praises. The vets are very knowledgeable and kind as well. I never feel like they’re trying to push a procedure or medication that’s not super necessary. Again, I’ve had past experiences at other vets where they make you feel like you need to test your dog for every issue that could possibly be an issue and then drown you in testing and medication bills. Will be taking my dog here from now on! And will be sharing what such a good experience we have there.
Fantastic experience: This was our first visit with our new doggy. They have a very friendly staff. The technician and doctor were very informative on what options we have for blood tests, heartworm meds, and amount of food he should be eating. Glad we found this place.
Negative experience: Their office manager Jake lacks empathy and compassion when speaking to people and it just makes me wonder why he works in a field that is dedicated to assisting people and their pets. The front desk girls are always amazing and friendly so I appreciate them for that!
Fantastic experience: St. Mary's Animal Clinic is exactly what I was looking for!! The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, as well as accommodating! New puppers can be a handful and they made the whole process so easy!! Dr. Bigelow is the BEST. My German Shepherd is 13 months old now and Dr. Bigelow (Dr. Pyres too!) has been with us every step of the way, reassuring this paranoid dog mom at every turn! The staff there is also AMAZING and my Vader loves them. He's always excited and happy to see them. I wouldn't trust my furbaby to anyone else!!
Thank you for the kind review Fini. We loved taking care of handsome Mr. Vader! See you both again soon.
Fantastic experience: Yesterday I took my Chiweenie in for his exam. Dr. Pires was very kind to him, speaking softly and rubbing behind his ears (he even let her look in his ears and teeth!). She suggested an ear wash solution to help keep his ears clean. Another great experience at St. Mary's!
Thank you for your positive review, DesrtWolf3! We're glad to hear that Jessica and Dr. Conley provided you with empathetic and straightforward care for your kitty.

Fantastic experience: All the employees at St Mary’s Vet Clinic are so nice and compassionate. They are extremely efficient, knowledgeable and see you on time. My dog likes going to the vet again. Thank you for all your hard work and for caring.
