Village East Animal Hospital

Experiencia fantástica: They were so kind and informative! All of my questions were answered. So grateful they were taking new customers for my new puppy!!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Jill is awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent place everyone is nice and friendly and helpful. We have been taking our dogs there since 2016. When we moved to Evansville. Wouldn't want to go anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: I have been seeing Dr Bill Melchior for 30 plus years with my fur babies. As far as I’m concerned, he is the best hands down. He’s so knowledgeable and talks to you on a level you understand. He goes the extra mile and thinks outside the box. He genuinely cares. He deserves a 100 stars. My Carrie loves and trusts Dr Bill

Experiencia fantástica: Bill is the BEST and so knowledgeable. Always treats my girl so good! Goes over everything in great detail! Truly wants the best for the animals! The staff is always so kind and helpful! Great veterinarians office!

Experiencia fantástica: Love the veterinarian’s and the staff!

Experiencia fantástica: Great service. Detailed information re: pets condition and best course of action . We did not feel rushed or just like a number.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Melchiors helped us so much when we were in great distress with our dog experiencing seizures for the first time ever! He truly cares and made sure to maintain contact with us as necessary. I will always be grateful! ❤️

Experiencia fantástica: The doctor was very informative and very knowledgeable and very caring. Dr Dorroh took the time to explain to us what was going on with our kitty. He was very compassionate.Dr Dorroh seen my sweet Lola during her last days and was very honest and compassionate during this time. He also seen my Willow when she was sick. He is the best. We will be bringing our other 4 cats to see him when they are due for their shots. Thank you Dr Dorroh.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service. Every single person is super nice and friendly. Highly recommend

Experiencia fantástica: Our pet has been experiencing an allergic reaction and GI issues for about 2 weeks now. We’ve brought her to numerous vets. We had to bring her in to Village East while visiting in Evansville. The Dr. who treated our pet was really great. Very thorough and informative for us, and brought a breadth and depth of knowledge that we do not often experience. They clearly cared about getting treatment right, while being considerate of our expenses and not doing things that were not necessary. The staff overall were kind and caring which we also really appreciated. Will definitely recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice staff. Easy check in. Took time to answer my questions.

Experiencia fantástica: It’s was clean, smell free, and full of kind workers! I genuinely couldn’t ask for more.

Experiencia fantástica: They are always so professional and got my baby right in. We are out of town but have used them each time we are in town and need a vet. They are so good with Sampson (my dog) and he is so comfortable with all of them. The girls are so great with him too. He’s a very large Rottweiler but they aren’t scared of him and treat him so good. He loves all of them. We would recommend this vet office to anyone who needs a vet. They are very reasonable with their pricing too. We don’t go anywhere else when in town!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was so nice a patient! My Dr. was so polite and willing to explain everything to me!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Jill is the best vet .

Experiencia fantástica: Very Friendly, professional and caring. On top of all these qualities they are very fair in the cost of care. Thank You

Experiencia fantástica: Once again Village East Animal Hospital has blown me away with their compassion and generosity. A few nights ago my husband noticed our cat was using the litter box often but not actually being able to pee. We had taken him to the emergency vet the night before and been given medication and assured he was fine, but I was freaking out. I called Village East Animal Hospital 20 minutes before the closed, and they told me to come right in without hesitation. They took our little gremlin back right away, assuring me they would take good care of him despite the fact that he was attempting to scratch them to death. We were seen promptly, treated with incredible kindness and they took all my concerns very seriously. All the staff was incredibly reassuring from the wonderful girls behind the desk to the vet herself who spent about 10 minutes reassuring me our baby was getting the best treatment possible at the moment and although he would be uncomfortable, he would ultimately probably be ok. Their fantastic service didn’t end there, today they called me in the morning to check in and ask how our cat was doing. They gave us some follow up advice and gave us food for him that would hopefully help prevent these flare ups in the future. We have been going to see them for 6 years with both cats and dogs, in all sorts of emergency’s and routine check ups. They even remember to use the smallest gage of needle on my dog because she’s a little baby and will cry if they poke her with a big one. We couldn’t recommend them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: I brought my cat here for a second opinion and was very pleased by the friendliness of the staff. The vet I saw was very thorough in his explanation of what my pet was going through and went above and beyond helping me to remedy the situation.

Experiencia fantástica: My fiancé took a stray kitten to Village East to have a very large and serious hernia repaired. The entire staff was great, the facility welcoming, but most impressive is the knowledge, skill and caring manner of Dr. Dorroh. He performed a delicate surgery on my cat the previous week and his great work brought us back for little Abbi. And Abbi is doing great! I highly recommend the Village East team!

Experiencia fantástica: We’re new to Evansville and needed to find a vet for our 3 dogs and we did just that and they did an amazing job. Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Great interaction with the vet. He was very thorough.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Jill is the best! The staff is always helpful and friendly.

Experiencia fantástica: My experiences with Village East have always been exceptional. Dr. Jill approaches every visit with kindness and patience, taking time to understand not only my cat’s symptoms but also their personality and comfort level. Diagnosis and treatment options are clearly explained, questions are encouraged, and I never feel rushed. When our cats are anxious, the team handles them gently and respectfully. It’s rare to find a clinic where both medical expertise and genuine compassion are so strong. I’m incredibly grateful for the care we’ve received and would recommend Dr. Jill to anyone seeking a trustworthy partner in their pet’s health. She's a gem!

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is all friendly. They were able to get me a last minute appointment and explained everything and answered all my questions.

Experiencia fantástica: The best Vet Clinic in Evansville hands down! The staff was amazing. The Doctor explained everything perfectly and treated my cat that Day! 10/10

Experiencia fantástica: Great vet with reasonable prices! Very transparent about pricing which is hard to find in any vet practice. Tolerant and kind - all you can ask!!

Experiencia fantástica: Like always we like everyone there and Dr. Jill is always wonderful. She is really good with our dogs and they love her. Couldn’t picture us going anywhere else. Missy our new dog

Experiencia fantástica: My girl is feeling much better, she had a great experience!!

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent customer service and a kind, friendly attitude. Always helpful and take their time with our pet.

Experiencia fantástica: I absolutely loved Dr.Jill, she let me talk about all my concerns with kitty and didn't make me feel rushed. It really matters to me that the vets I see take an interest in my animals and show that they care. I do feel like vet prices are to high and more animals would have homes if they could afford them. Maybe someday there will be a solution to that problem.

Experiencia fantástica: Treated my baby with care. Great people to deal with.

Experiencia fantástica: The best place to take your animals! The staff truly care about them and make you feel like family

Experiencia negativa: Poor service. Called to make an appointment. Talked to Shelly who seemed less interested in being helpful when asked about a possible procedure told to "best look around". I think they would benefit from having the actual Doctor make that call and atleast take an interest in looking at the issue. Very disappointed.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Kemp, Dr. Dorroh and everyone I have come in contact with at Village East Animal Hospital are amazing. I have been going here since 2016 and they have taken the best care of my 2 cats. We are entering my cats senior years which has come with more frequent unplanned visits. Village East hears my concerns, makes me feel validated and I know when I take my babies there they are getting the best care. You might be able to go somewhere cheaper but they are upfront about their pricing and worth every penny. I'd recommend them to any pet parent.

Experiencia negativa: I took my Standard Poodle in because I knew she had a yeast infection in her right ear. After I arrived we were placed in an exam room. After a few minutes a young g woman, I believe a veterinarian tech came in and told me they needed to swab her right ear to check her for a yeast infection which came back a short time later as positive. The veterinarian came in and checked her ears and told me she had an infection and told me they would send me home with something to clean her ears with and a medication to put in her ear for 7 days. When I went to check out they charged me $240 which I feel is exorbitant amount for the services provided. I was never told what any of the costs would be prior to them performing the services. When I called to question this the lady I spoke to and the vet said they should have told me the costs prior to performing the tests but they were so busy they were trying to keep the vet on schedule. I am very disappointed in how this all occurred. I love Dr Jill but I was unable to see her due to her schedule being full. This is another example of a local business being swallowed up by a corporation and losing the personal touch that they used to have when Dr Melchiors & of course Dr Jill ran things.

Experiencia positiva: Friendly staff. Waited about 20 mins after appointment time to be seen. Way more expensive that anticipated. About 2x more!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Bill was awesome. He and his staff took their time and made sure to answer all of our questions and concerns

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Dorroh did an amazing job taking care of our dog, Lilly. We drove down from La Porte, IN to get her ACL repaired for a good price. He was extremely helpful and kind throughout the process. He knew we traveled far to see him so he gave us his personal phone number just in case we have any questions. 10/10, very glad we trusted him with our girl.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff there was very knowledgeable, kind, and courteous. The veterinary doctor was excellent with my dog.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care from the tech and the vet. Office personnel very helpful.

Experiencia fantástica: They got my cat in very quickly and were so kind while explaining what was going on. The tech and vet were both so sweet with Shay.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone is very nice. The Veterinarian is also very nice, professional & is willing to work with helping our animal. Our animal can be scared at times & Dr Thorpe gave us suggestions on the best way to help!

Experiencia fantástica: The staff was just amazing and the doctor was wonderful with my fur baby and completely understood the situation I would definitely recommend them

Experiencia fantástica: Very grateful for Village East Animal Hospital for a same-day emergency appointment for my dog. They were very helpful and professional and provided excellent service.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was very pleasant. They took good care of Dusty and he liked them and was calm. I will recommend them to people.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Dorrah is a treasure! He treats you animal as if it’s his own!

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome Dr's and staff. They have gotten a little pricey for an annual doggy visit though.

Experiencia fantástica: Great visit with Doctor Melcher he is the best. So good and great explaining everything. Maisie is already doing better.

Experiencia fantástica: Our trip to get flea medication was very quick for having three dogs. The staff was very nice.

Experiencia fantástica: We had a procedure done yesterday for our puppy named Ari and the office was very positive and professional. They took very good care of him for us.

Experiencia fantástica: First time there. Everyone so nice. Got meds for yeast issues and allergy shot. I can already see the difference. Glad to have found them. Toby is happy too

Experiencia fantástica: Village East Animal Hospital is the best! The best staff and the best vets in town. Dr Jill is so great with her patients and always tells you what you need to know to keep your pets healthy. Tux had his neutering surgery yesterday and everyone was just great! Thank you all so much. Love Mom and Tux

Experiencia fantástica: I want to say tge tgus place is amazing yhet wounderful staff and wouldnt recomned any other place so if you need your pet taking care of they are more then glad to help

Experiencia fantástica: Great group at desks and Vet took care of my precious furbabies as always.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Melchior’s is always thorough and clearly passionate about what he does. We have been pleased with our care here. We have two moderate sized dogs.

Experiencia fantástica: Ii know my profile says Lisa Bratcher but I’m Lisa Holder and I now have brown hair. But wanted them to see my review and remember who I was. I was just there this afternoon. I called and told them my cat Sophia was acting sick and I thought she had lost her sight. She had been running into furniture and walls and getting herself stuck in a corner. They said can you come at 3pm. Yes. By 2pm Sophia had gotten worse and I took her on in. They got to me immediately. Took back and immediately put her on oxygen. She was in respiratory distress and was her eyes were not responsive. She was blind..Given she had been getting worse for a couple of days and now she’s got her tongue out and panting. She’s struggling to breathe. They said no matter what was wrong that she would not have regained any eye sight. It could’ve been high blood pressure, stroke, seizure, brain tumor, any number of things. Also, she’s lost 2lbs since November which they said was 25% of her body weight which is a lot.. and that’s not good. So given even if they treated her to find out what’s exactly wrong she wouldn’t be the same. She was 13 years old and had a very good life. I’ll miss that sweet girl but the Vet and staff were so kind and sweet and caring as I said my goodbyes to my sweet girl. They even gave me a little vial of her fur for a keepsake. Thank you Village East to everyone that helped me through this difficult decision.

Experiencia fantástica: Our pupper Gizzy had a dental procedure on 06/11/2025, we were very nervous due to his age, but everyone was so accommodating and treated us and him amazing. We have been using Village Wast for almost 20 years and cannot imagine taking our fur babies anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Village East. The staff is exceptional. They go out of their way to be helpful and be of assistance, and always with a smile and friendly chatting. Dr Bill Melchoirs was our vet and he has given our pets exceptional care over the years. One of many things I appreciate about care here is that all teaches about what is going on with our dog right along with the normal conversation. We met our new Vet, Dr Hinsel. It is so obvious that she loves her profession just by the way she touches these animals. Now we have Lucy and she is was feisty as Sadie was gentle. I can appreciate and love Lucy’s own distinct personality just for herself and especially now that she is 3+ and is calmer and more attentive to what we tell her. I highly recommend this Veterinary office for their knowledge and caring and smiles.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff as usual was thoughtful and thorough. My pet was anxious traveling to the clinics, but was calm and content on the ride home. This is due to concern and professionalism of all we come in contact with.

Experiencia fantástica: Despite not taking in walk-ins normally they found an opening for my cat within just a couple minutes of arriving and where very understanding! The vet was very nice and explained things well, never tried to pressure me into paying for any extra services or treatments either.

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic...my new Vet.Thanks to everyone...y'all We're so nice...especially the Vet !!

Experiencia positiva: Should really have a better practice with quoting what the cost is going to be. I was told $625 and then at the end it was almost 1,000. I’m sure most customers would make different decisions based on what its actually going to be at the end. Should do another price quote before treatment. I would have made different decisions had I known. $625 was already very steep cost for me. Aside from that the staff was friendly and the doctor was nice. They got us in quickly with an urgent matter and the visit was fast.

Experiencia fantástica: My mother and I have taken all of our pets to Village East since Dr. Kollker first opened the practice in the 70's. More than 25 pets and still counting. It has always been a good experience with each vet, tech and front office personnel. We appreciate the dedicated and loving staff. Update: I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Melchiors on our last visit. If you haven't had the opportunity to interact with him you have missed out on the most unique experience at a Veterinary appointment. He loves to teach. He is very kind and engaging with a wonderful sense of humor. He cares about the human as well. I thank you so much. Keep doing what you do.

Experiencia fantástica: Great neighborhood veterinary clinic. The doctor and all the staff were professional. Facility was very clean and comfortable.

Experiencia positiva: Good enough care. I took my cat for a wellness exam and I felt like I kind of had to ask for the vet to look at certain things. And it ended up costing over $200 just for a wellness exam and 2 shots

Experiencia fantástica: My cat had an ear infection/hematoma. They got me in same day which I truly appreciated since I had never been there before. The doctor explained everything well and gave me a treatment plan. I will come back in the future!

Experiencia fantástica: Great staff and have always been very helpful over the years! We have taken all our dogs there!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Himsel was very thorough with Daisy’s issue. After appropriate treatment, we were happy with results. Tiffany was very knowledgeable, professional and kind. Thank you Dr. Himsel!

Experiencia fantástica: We always get great service and attention for our dogs. But, since they went corporate the prices are ridiculous. Thinking of changing vets.

Experiencia fantástica: I have taken my 11 year old cat and my 2 year old dog here for annual checkups after moving to the area, and the staff was super friendly and very caring towards my animals, and I. I felt really good about the quality of care my animals received and the health information that was provided. The pricing is also pretty good compared to other vet prices I have had in the past. I travel a lot for work, so sometimes I have to move my animals with me when I'm located in another state for months at a time, so they've had a few different vets. I think my animals were also happy with the experience and forgot about receiving their shots as soon as we got in the car for home.

Experiencia fantástica: Genuinely friendly staff, readily answer questions, and they don't push unnecessary treatments. Prices are great, but not suspiciously low. The front room does look like a gym locker room, but that makes it easier to keep clean, which they do. I didn't see fur or grease smears from other pets like I have at other vet offices.

Experiencia fantástica: I’ve been going to Village East for many years. My almost ten months old redbone coonhound puppy, Hazel, was just spayed on Friday at Village East with Dr Dorroh. First of all I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr Dorroh. He is so knowledgeable and clearly loves animals. He immediately puts you and your pet at ease and I had no doubt that Hazel was in the best hands possible. The staff are caring and informative, answered all of my questions. Some have been there a while and always remember me and my pet by name and treat Hazel as they would their own dog. Even though it’s a routine surgery it can still be scary but it went very smoothly and Hazel is home and doing really well. I’m very thankful.

Experiencia fantástica: Very nice staff and the veterinarian was kind. I was definitely was pleased with how gentle they were with my kitten I had brought in. Will definitely be back with my other cats. Glad to have found a good veterinarian in Evansville.

Experiencia fantástica: I love Village East!!! Dr. Kemp and Samantha were fabulous as always! All the staff have been the best and take EXCELLENT care of my boys...and me! Can't thank them enough!

Experiencia fantástica: They were able to get my cat and I the same day we called and even called back with more openings so we could come in sooner. It was fast and everyone was very nice. Doctor Dorroh was exceptional and has had me call to let him know how my cat is doing. I definitely would recommend this place if you're looking for a new vet clinic!

Experiencia fantástica: They took great care of my cat, Indiana Jones, and took time to explain everything to me. Caroline, the veterinarian, and the vet tech were able to calm my wild cat and get him in and out quickly. Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: I love the Village East animal hospital. They all know what they are doing. You can tell they love our pets.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent care. The staff are awesome and so grateful for Dr Jill.

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing staff and amazing care. Felt both welcomed and that our dog was in caring hands. Easy to ask questions and get answers, and they go above and beyond here. I'm very thankful for their services and what they provide.

Experiencia fantástica: So impressed with Dr. Dorroh who has a way of calming animals who are nervous visiting the vet. Staff members are friendly as well and go out of their way to serve.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff is very kind, understanding, and the rates are reasonable. We’re facing end of life care with one of our furry family members and we’ve been given honesty AND the space to make decisions.

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Jill and her staff are amazing. My dog was shaking acting very sick. They were about to close and they told me to hurry up and come in, they took care of my baby! They are so caring and compassionate. I was concerned and I’m so grateful they weren’t like sorry you have to make an appointment, love them so much thank you for everything.

Experiencia fantástica: Coming back a few years later to update my previous 5 star review. Still 5 stars! Dr. Kemp and Dr. Dorroh were both knowledgeable and compassionate during my Lab’s end-of-life needs. They both went above and beyond in several ways, doing everything they could for my sweet dog. The other staff were friendly and efficient, also. I appreciate you all-it meant so much to us.

Experiencia fantástica: The kindest staff ever. They are so helpful and care so much about us and our pets! BEST VET IN THE CITY BY FAR! We love these guys a ton!

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone at Village East Animal Hospital is amazing. They made my sweet Zorro's transition a little less painful and treated Zorro and us with comforting acts of kindness. Their business is like a human doctor's office. They treat our pets, and us with care and warmth. They are upbeat and always have smiles on their faces. Love, honor, and respect; what more could we ask for.

Experiencia fantástica: Staff was extremely helpful, got a same day emergency appointment and was able to get in for surgery the very next morning! The Veterinarian was so compassionate and knowledgeable.

Experiencia fantástica: Village East is a wonderful animal hospital! My dog, Tucker, is always so afraid and they staff are so kind and gentle with him. Evansville is lucky to have Village East Animal Hospital!❤️❤️❤️

Experiencia fantástica: My son actually took my puppy to get her first set of shots. He told me there were so friendly and patience with my puppy and I will definitely make this our vet. Thank you guys so much

Experiencia fantástica: Dr. Dooroh and the techs were very helpful and thorough in working with Wrigley. Advice was clear. Receptionists were also very informative and considerate.

Experiencia fantástica: I did not wait at all when I took my dog in to be checked. They were very professional and thorough. Doc was very nice, empathetic, and caring.

Experiencia fantástica: We took Sam in for nail trimming and gland expression. All the folks are friendly and helpful, and their techs are very experienced.

Experiencia fantástica: My fiancé and I were looking for a new vet for my 16 yo cat. We didn’t like our last one and were scared to go anywhere else. My mom found this place based on reviews, so we went because my cat needed to go. They were absolutely amazing and so kind to us. Explained everything to us and addressed our needs. Very affordable! Dr. Dorroh was very sweet and actually cares about your pet, because he knows they are our lives. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who is in need for a new vet!

Experiencia positiva: My first visit to this Vet, we moved from Ohio recently and I thought cost was too high for office visit -$85 in Ohio $40 per visit. Heart worm pills cost $60 more than they did 6 months ago in Ohio. I ask about motion sickness pills and Vet told me he would give me a couple samples to try and if they worked he would write a script for them. When I got home I noticed he charged me $85 for sample pills for motion sickness. I called the office and complained about being charged and they said if I brought pills back in today I would be able to return for a refund. Not starting off to a positive start with this new Vet.

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service. Dr Dorroh and his staff were amazing, I cannot rave enough! Thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: Dr Thorp spent a lot of time with Gabriel and me and answered a number of my questions. She gave me a plan to move forward with him and some alternative as he progresses. I appreciated getting in to see a vet as quickly as I did. Thanks!

Experiencia fantástica: Took my cat Aslynn to Village East and it was a great experience. There for the first time and staff was friendly and efficient. Vet very nice and I'm happy I found a place I feel good about and this will be our new Vet! Merry Christmas Village East and thank you!

Experiencia fantástica: They recently took care of my daughter's dog .he had cancer they answered questions almost daily and when it became time they were so compassionate it was a blessing

Experiencia fantástica: Very caring staff. They were able to get me in last minute with a kitten I found that was not doing well. Very supportive and kind. I recommend them for any of your vet needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Got me in immediately! Was beyond good with shots my pup didn't cry at all! Highly recommend! Thanks
