We just recently moved from Northern Indiana and have 3 dogs. On our long journey here one of them started not feeling well and limping very bad. After reading reviews I decided to give them a try and I am so glad I did. They were all so nice from the very first phone call. They treated my pupper with kindness, respect and compassion. The Dr. was so thorough and explained everything. It turned out one of her hips was like trying to put a square peg in a round hole. She was in pain when we went in and during our visit had a clear picture of what to expect in her future. 3 days later she was pretty much back to her old self. They were all so wonderful I decided to bring the other 2 dogs to make sure they were in good shape. Definitely would recommend them. They were so very different from the vets in Indiana. Keep up the great work and superior service! read more

82nd St Veterinary Clinic - My happy girl! - Veterinarians Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

Beware!! for unnecessary charges. Be sure to ask each item they present how much will this cost. Dont pay or something you didnt receive They may sneak an extra 10 dollar charge saying we fit you in. Its not the same as it used to be.Place has changed! Watch out for Misti "tech" office manager. Could be the bad root of change. Condescending and blame shifter NOT professional. Probably floats the area from vet to vet. They "pretend" to listen. Dont always reply to questions. Overbook. Keep looking lots of vets in Lubbock. Very disturbing. Gave lots of chances. Sad its such a mess ! read more

They used to be excellent. Now they could care less. Sent me to live oak cause they were too busy. Cost me a dog and a hell of a lot of pain. read more

This has been my go-to vet in Lubbock since I started going to college here and adopted two kitties. Normally they are really great and all of the staff is sweet and helpful- today when I went it was a little different.. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful, but the nurses who assisted with my cat in the checkup room were very standoffish and rude in demeanor. It was a younger girl with dark hair and a younger white male. Neither one of them said a single word to me, besides the male when he weighed my cat and told me i could take her out of the carrier and put her back in the carrier. He was very rough with my cat when holding her down on the table, especially when the doctor wasn't even in the room/there was no treatment occurring. There were also several times, when no one else was in the room, where he would take a hand off of the cat and aggressively blow the cat hair off of him.... just seemed weird for a vet staff member to do in front of a customer, or at all really. Tried to talk to him a little bit but didn't get anything in return. The main Doctor was very polite and seemed to be doing everything he could to treat my cat- no issues there. I was in for an emergency visit due to my cat throwing up blood after eating some foreign objects, a totaled $200+ visit. Including a convenience fee that no one told me about before I brought my cat in. I still paid it but nevertheless, If i'm paying over $200 anywhere, regardless of the service being provided, I expect a certain level of kindness and respect from the members/staff interacting with me. I think that's just common curtesy right next to good old southern hospitality. This should also apply no matter how much the customer is spending. I work in customer service and am probably around the same age as those nurses so I know it does not take a lot to be kind to someone, and it's not just a generational thing. read more

I will never stop recommending this vet. They absolutely care so much for animals and it really shows. Dr. Taylor and all of his staff show compassion for you and your pet and I can't imagine trusting anyone else with my pets. People who know me, know my pets are my family. They go everywhere with me and when one of them is sick it's extremely upsetting. My little Mischief had what was either a ruptured abscess or a puncture wound from our fence and I was luckily able to get a same day appointment and they treated him so well. Not only did Dr. Taylor take great care of my boy but his prices are so affordable. I was really nervous of having to dig into my savings to pay for Mischief's treatment but it was a lot cheaper than I was expecting. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pet with professionalism and compassion definitely go here. Can't wait till mischiefs cut is all healed up for our next family road trip. read more

82nd St Veterinary Clinic - Veterinarians Near Me - Lubbock, Texas

I've been coming here a couple times here and honestly, 10/10 on both prices and service. Brought three of my pets here to get boosters and got all three for $160. You won't find anywhere better!! read more

Everyone was so very nice and loved on my fur babies! Very helpful. I was in and out with two dogs in no time.

Friendly was staff, clean and comfortable environment, and good pricing to provide quality service to fur babies.

I used to recommend this vet to people and now I can't advise against it enough. had an appt at 4 one day and was told i'd have to wait until 5:15 to be seen, so I rescheduled for earliest appointment on friday morning, thinking there would be less wait. here I am, 8:06 am with 7 clipboards in front of me. they're constantly overbooking themselves, even an 8am appt has 7-9 people in front of you and all they say is "we are a very busy vet". then learn how to schedule appointments!! very unsatisfactory and will be looking for a new vet. read more

I think that they are wonderful Have never had a bad experience Staff is very professional courteous and call you back when you leave a message I have never waited over 15 minutes to be seen I had a question that Ryan helped me with,but.he wanted to check with Taylor to make sure that we were on the right track and said that he could call me back Well, Dr.Taylor called himself called, he didn't rush me at all all He cares about his critters! (so does staff)He explained how to remedy the situation I moved here last November Didn't have a veterinarian and several people Recommend 82nd Wouldn't take my fur baby any where else a read more

My husband and I rescued our fur baby from LAS. We had taken her to a different vet because she was ill when we brought her home. We had a terrible experience. So we researched and did process of elimination with a list of vets. So we decided on 82nd St Veterinary Clinic, we had been here before with a previous dog we owned. We loved it. So now we're back to them! I highly recommend this clinic. The staff is always so sweet. They are reasonably priced and get you in and out quick! Some days are busy and if you can't wait, they're happy to reschedule. Our pup isn't a fan of the vet, but she's come around quite a bit. They always make her as comfy as possible. read more

Great experience overrall! Staff is very helpful and informative. Reasonable prices as well. I've been helped by Emily in person and over the phone a few times and I've always been satisfied. Highly recommend. read more

All of the staff is super friendly and really cares about your animals! Dr Taylor has been the only person my cat seems to trust other than my boyfriend and I. I guess he just has that presence on animals. The other doctors are really good too. This vet is always really busy, but even then the wait time isn't long. I always try to set an appointment out of courtesy, but even as an emergency walk-in once, they still saw me and my kitty within 10 minutes. Above all that, they're affordable! read more

Excellent and affordable service. Staff is friendly and works fast. Love it here! I have four dogs and we are in and out like we are the only clients. Staff will help you load and unload your pet. They are great! read more

For us, this is the top vet in Lubbock! After a trip to the emergency vet over the weekend our dog was still in distress and Dr. Taylor made time for our dog and looked past the usual to identify her issue. I couldn't be more thankful and I'm always pleased with the price and the attentiveness at 82nd St Veterinary Clinic. They truly care about our furbabies!! read more

Look I've gone just about every where in this town with my big, slobbery, happy, loving pit. And she's either always misdiagnosed or they like don't wanna touch her(very disappointing for my pup) but they actually seem to like animals here! They pet her and love on her. They never seem intimidated or anything. And they actually diagnose correctly based off of what I've seen with my dogs. So not only is my pup happy but so am I every time!! Thanks for being the one good vet in town! Honestly ! My family and I appreciate y'all! read more

I brought in my cat to get spayed here, I had never been in before. Although they were busy, the check in and check out was quick and easy. The lobby was clean and all staff members were very friendly! read more

If you want Dr. Taylor to talk down to you and make you feel stupid for even asking questions go here. He tried withholding my dogs medicine by the end of the visit because he said that I was wasting his time and he had other patients to get to. read more

My daughter referred me here. I love this vet. Dr. Taylor and his staff are awesome. Allowed me to ask question and he answered them. Was patient and his asst. was very kind. Tina who doesn't like her current vet, didn't try to get away or bite him when he gave her a shot. Thank you so much. This is our new pet doctor. read more

Everyone who works here is amazing! It is so evident how much Dr. Taylor and his vet techs truly care about all the fur babies. They take time to throughly examine my cat and they are always so helpful when I have questions. And they are also reasonably priced!! I couldn't imagine taking my cat anywhere else. Can't recommend him enough! read more

Best vet ever! Good staff and we have been coming to him for over 6 years. He truly cared about our dogs. Can't say enough about Dr Taylor.

I have nothing but good things to say about this vet. Fist time visit. I thought I had made an appointment (I accidentally scheduled one at a different location) so technically I was a walk-in. They didn't even hesitate at all (I found out I went to the wrong place after the appointment) they saw me immediately, I didn't even sit down. The veterinarian diagnosed the problem very quickly. It was the cheapest vet visit I have had in Lubbock. Will 100% be returning for future visits. I would say from when we went in there to when we left was max 10 minutes. read more

Love this clinic. It's our first time making sure our puppies Bella and Duke are up to date with all her shots. I always feel welcomed here and they are never in a rush. They answer all my questions. read more

I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Taylor for a few years. He is so caring, patient & understanding. He is not all about the money which is a rarity anymore. He & his techs genuinely care about the animals. We have local vets in our little town, but I was always willing to make the 1.5 hour round trip drive for the better care from Dr. Taylor and his staff for my "Hot Dog". She was 14 yrs old and had complications for the past 1.5 yrs. Dr. Taylor & staff were ALWAYS there for us on short notice for immediate appointments & care. She got ill on the weekend and we lost our baby. But I take comfort in knowing that she had the best care during her critical times. Dr. Taylor & staff showed great compassion at the news of our precious loss. IF we ever do get past the heartache & decide to get another, there will be no question that we will be back to see Dr. Taylor again. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Taylor and this clinic. I had to make a hard decision yesterday to put a baby down, and they were so helpful, sympathetic, and patient while I made my decision. I am still hurting about it, but they were nothing short of amazing. I give 82nd Street Vet Clinic my strongest possible recommendation. read more

I have been coming to this vet for about 5 years and I will not be returning. I took my dog in for diarrhea and vomiting. When I we gent into the examination room the vet asked me if my dog was difficult and they had a muzzle. I have only been told that he is difficult with his nails. I put the muzzle on and the rest of the visit was a disaster. My dog was difficult but I was very compliant. The vet was very rude to me and reprimanded me about my dog several times. I was trying to ask questions about my next visit and he continued to be rude. I understand that if my dog is difficult then the vet must do whatever is necessary but I have never been told by the staff that my dog has bitten anyone. They have taken him in the back before because it was busy and I have no idea how things went. I regret taking my dog to the vet that day. He left with a bloody eye and I wonder if my husband had been there if I would have been treated that way. read more

I love this veterinary clinic so much! They are affordable, friendly, and do a great job. Dr. Taylor seems to genuinely care about the animals and not be in it just for the money. He treated my dog's ear infection and gave very clear instructions for home-care. Then, he saw us for a follow-up to make sure he had fully recovered and he didn't charge for the check-up. I have had a very easy time making appointments (four total, three for my dog and one for my cats) and have had nothing but positive experiences with the front desk staff as well as Dr. Taylor. I highly, highly recommend 82nd St Vet Clinic! read more

The staff here is amazing and made us feel super comfortable when something unfortunate happened to our little puppy! The vet tech Peyton was especially cheerful and reassuring! She was there when we picked our puppy up too with the same energy! Great experience! read more

I moved to Lubbock not too long ago. I loved my vet where I used to live and wanted to find something similar to them. I tried a different clinic here in town and it seemed like they were scared of cats or didn't know how to handle them, and that was discouraging. I decided to give this clinic a try and I'm glad that I did. They were so great with my cat. They were professional and knew how to help keep her calm during her shots and a nail trim. I'm very thankful for this, as I hate to see her stressed out. We will work happy to continue our care with this clinic. read more

This clinic was wonderful. Our dog had an emergency and we could not get into our regular vet. We arrived 30 minutes before they closed and they were happy to see us. We had a bit of a wait but it was expected since we didn't have an appointment. The vet and staff were wonderful with our dog and answered all of our questions. Highly, highly recommend! read more

Went last week for my 9 month old German Shepherd Puppy. Got in and out quickly. Super friendly staff! Great care! Prices were decent! Will for sure be going back if my dog has any problems! Would highly recommend to anyone! read more

Never have I been to a Vet Clinic where I didn't feel rushed, and where the Vet took the time to explain to me what he was doing to my puppy. Everyone was extremely friendly and the visit was fairly priced. Dr. Taylor was amazing and I look forward to taking Maple back to see him soon! read more

The clinic was nice and professional. The people were nice. However, my dog was misdiagnosed and I ended up spending a money on items given for nausea and the check up itself. I was using all the key words that lead to my dog having kennel cough. I didn't find out later that night that what my dog has is, in fact, kennel cough FROM YOUTUBE on a video that used the same exact words that I was using at the clinic. Money apparently matters more at this vet clinic than getting help with a sick animal. read more

The staff is so friendly and understanding. They squeezed us in for a same-day appointment! Since my cat is not friendly with other animals, they gave me the option of waiting in my vehicle so my cat wasn't further stressed out. How thoughtful! The wait was less than 15min and even the other clients in the lobby were so nice and cheerful. Dr. Taylor and his assistants were thorough, gentle, and kind during the examination. My cat was treated on the spot! The prices were extremely fair and did I mention they even offer a military discount?! YAY! Since we got home, my cat has been more playful and energetic than I have seen him in the last few years. We are so thankful to Dr. Taylor and all the 82nd Street Vet Clinic staff!! I will be returning for any future veterinary needs. I highly recommend you try them first if you are looking for superb service and treatment of your furry family member. read more

I would not recommend this vet. I took my new puppy here thinking she had a normal case of kennel cough from the shelter I got her at. I was told that it might be kennel cough but was most likely distemper and that I should prepare myself for the worst because puppies do not survive distemper. I had heard of this disease in dogs but didn't know much and this vet did not help me to understand more about what was going on with my baby. Just told me to come back when she got worse and rudely told me I had just infected all of his other patients in the waiting room while debating with his coworkers on who would have to touch her. She was also tested for worms and I was told she had two different types of worms and she was treated for this. I felt very concerned and confused about what this vet was telling me so I took her to the Veterinary Clinic of Lubbock and they assured me she had a mild case of kennel cough and a her worm diagnoses was completely incorrect. They found only a tape worm (which this vet did not seem to find but somehow found 2 other types of worms that she didn't have) and gave her the correct medicine to treat this. She currently has no worms and her kennel cough is much better now. This vet mid diagnosed every detail with my baby. I had a horrible experience with this vet and feel like I had wasted my money here and only received false bad news from someone that did not show any care for my puppy. read more

For the past three years we had used this clinic. Mainly because their prices were lower than other clinics. We've had no issues with the doctor or staff. Until the other day. I showed up right as they were opening with our lactating canine showing signs of fever. Dr. Taylor approached me and told me he no longer wanted my business. That I was a problem client, that I was rude to him and his staff. And that the new vet didn't wish to work with me either. Needless to say I was in shock. I told him I had never been rude to anyone. He said that his decision was final and I was to take my business elsewhere. So if you don't care that the vet has issues, and you don't ever question anything he does to your animal then use this clinic. But don't ever piss him off or take your pet in too many times or he'll tell you to get lost. This clinic is definitely getting two thumbs down. read more
