Family Animal Hospital of Friendswood - Both Dr Zoo & Dr Nicoletti care for our Namira

Family Animal Hospital of Friendswood

My family just moved from Washington to Texas. We have a cat and a very old dog. They both needed…read morevaccinations and luckily I found this place. They were very flexible with scheduling and when we arrived, we got right in to a room just for us where we stayed the entire visit, I love that, they also have a mini refrigerator in the room with water for us to drink- such a nice touch!! Aside from the facility, which is nicely decorated also, the employees cared. All of them. Not just the doctor. Love that. My dog is 11 and in bad health, I feel they are being very kind and helpful with what needs to be done. I will definitely continue bringing my pets. And I do recommend this establishment!! Pix for attention

In 2026, Dr. Zue completed new imaging on my dog and all of a sudden she does NOT have an enlarged heart. Dr. Zue had the audacity to blame the imaging results on the dog food. The same dog food she recommended. It does not work that way!!! My dog either has an enlarged heart or she does not have an enlarged heart. Dog food has absolutely no bearing on it. My new veterinarian laughed in dismay and stated; "That is the most preposterous statement they have ever heard - blaming dog food." My new veterinarian completed new imaging and my dog and she absolutely does "NOT" have an enlarged heart. My new veterinarian showed me the imaging by Dr. Zue on my dog. The imaging was at a "skewed angle" so, of course, the heart looked enlarged. Dr. Zue is completely and utterly incompetent and should have her veterinarian license revoked. Again, this review is solely based on the the truth and pure facts.

Highly recommend Parkwood Animal Hospital. They have cared for my Baby Molly since she was a puppy…read moreand she boards there when I go on vacation...I can go away with complete confidence she will be well cared for and safe

Let me count the utter disasters that occurred in my small amount of time at Parkwood…read more 1) My dog was seen by Dr. Polasek on April 29th, May 4th, May 8th, and June 1st. Dr. Polasek treated my dog for one issue "only." She ran the same diagnostic tests over and over. She neglected to truly give my dog a thorough physical examination. 2) My dog's health was getting worse and Dr. Polasek did nothing to address it. 3) Barbara in the office had the audacity to yell at me, in front of other clients, for not keeping my sick dog in a crate. A) Barbara should have minded her own business! B) I do not believe in crates "Doggie Jail" 4) My dog saw Dr. Vanderford on July 1st and he immediately noticed my dog had Jaundice. New and different diagnostic tests indicated; Liver Disease, Pancreatitis, Bilirubin, Gallbladder, Red Blood Cell Count (Extremely Low) & White Blood Cell Count (Extremely High). My dog was immediately given IV Fluids, Cerenia Shot, and four Appetite Stimulates. 《Even Dr. Vanderford questioned why Dr. Polasek ran the same diagnostic tests over and over!》 5) This states a lot about Dr. Polasek and her qualifications for not noticing my dog was that sick. 6) Dr. Vanderford was contemplating back and forth; "Should I send home a combo cocktail of medications (his words exactly) for the 4th of July weekend or a 24/7 emergency clinic?" 7) Dr. Vanderford suggested the 24/7 emergency clinic because he also works there and based on his schedule he could check-in on my dog. 8) Dr. Polasek was supposed to expedite the paperwork. Dr. Polasek dropped the ball on getting the paperwork to the emergency clinic. 9) I spoke with Silvia at the front desk who made every excuse in the world for Dr. Polasek. 10) Silvia had also dropped the ball three times regarding various issues. (Two times were basic appointments.) Per Silvia; "I'm multitasking." 11) Dr. Clark performed an ultrasound on my dog. Dr. Clark also dropped the ball because she did not send the ultrasound nor the report to the emergency clinic. (Per, Dr. Coffey at 24/7 emergency clinic) 12) My dog was admitted to the 24/7 emergency clinic on the evening of July 3rd and released on July 6th at 10pm by Dr. Vanderford. (A cost of $10k and to no avail) 13) Needless to say, Dr. Vanderford's decision for the 24/7 emergency clinic was an extremely gross error in judgment! 14) Within 12 hours my dog passed away at home in my arms and surrounded by the entire family. 15) On July 7th, my dog was brought to Parkwood to be cremated and in our family's moment of pure grief and sorrow, Dr. Clark was unprincipled in lecturing us about feeding my dog inappropriate foods, such as bacon. A) Dr. Clark had absolutely no right to be so disingenuous. B) My dog(s) only receive the very best of everything in life. 16) On July 16th, I picked up my dogs urn at Parkwood with the standard response of; "I'm so sorry for your loss and my condolences" which was beyond empty hearted. The response was scripted and completely apathetic. 17) On Tuesday, August 4th I received an amateurish text message (YES, TEXT MESSAGE) from Amy Swift, Office Practitioner. Client, After careful consideration, Parkwood Animal Hospital has decided to end our veterinary-client-patient relationship. Effective 8/4/2026, we will no longer provide veterinary services for you or your pets. Please establish care with another veterinary practice. Upon your written request by text, email, or from your new veterinarian, we will promptly provide your pets' medical records. This decision is final. We wish you and your pets all the best. Sincerely, Amy Swift 18) I spoke with Amy Swift, Office Practitioner, to inquire about this amateurish text message but Amy literally talked in circles, a pure prevarication to answering my direct questions. She could not give me one legitimate answer for this decision. That speaks volumes about her lack of character and scruples. 19) Let me be clear and concise: that I never blamed anyone for my dog being sick nor the fact my dog passed away. However, I absolutely do blame those who dropped the ball in my dogs time of need and did not live up to their Veterinarian's Oath. Between the way my dog and I were treated and the amateurish text message it truly shows lack of morality, principles, and standards within Parkwood and "I WANT NO PART OF IT!" Parkwood is not about customer service satisfaction nor the overall health and well-being of a beloved pet. Parkwood is all about money!!! This negative review is 100% based on the truth and pure facts that I and my sick dog endured in the "very small" amount of time at Parkwood. Any response is 100% superfluous as it means nothing to me. I know the stats-quo at Parkwood and it will be mendacity. BELOVED PET OWNER'S BEWARE ATTENTION PARKWOOD: THIS NEGATIVE REVIEW WAS NOT POSTED OUT OF GRIEF NOR SORROW! IT WAS POSTED OUT OF DISGUST & PURE DISDAIN!!! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU AT PARKWOOD

We've taken 2 of our pets here for treatment. Unfortunately our pets were advanced in age and both…read moreultimately required EOL services. The staff was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and compassionate during the process. We will definitely be taking all of our future pets here and I highly recommend ABVH. Another fact to consider is that this is a privately owned business...not bought out by private equity, whose primary concern is profit, not pet care. We found them to be reasonably priced and felt our pets' health and comfort was their main concern.

Having moved further south we have been in need of a new PCV (Primary Care Veterinarian,…read moretrademarked). It's rare that we have to go to the doctor outside of our annual vaccination visits, but as my kids are aging, it's important to get periodic checkups. After looking at reviews from nearby locations, we decided to give above and beyond a try. We brought Phoebe in for a split toenail that started bleeding a little bit. They took of care of her, and got her fixed up quickly. No fuss. Dalé (Dahl-ay) went in for a suspicious scab on her chin and an old dog checkup. And she came back with perfect test results and no lasting issues. At 13 my girl is doing fantastic. Throughout our visits, the staff have been fantastic from the front desk to the technicians to the veterinarians. Everyone has been very welcoming. The dogs have been very comfortable and everything was done with such great care. In addition to bail triage we've had shots, fine needle aspirations, and urine tests. There wasn't so much as a whimper out of them. Treats and cheese make them compliant. As we were going through questions and treatment options and things like that that we discussed cost so nothing was surprising as it came through. Very appreciative of the time taken to teach and understand everything. Highly recommend this practice. Check them out.
