Dr. Clark, Donna and the rest of the staff are very caring! Highly recommended! We feel very comfortable knowing that our fur babies will be well taken care of. read more

The most amazing Vet I've ever met. If human cloning becomes a thing, Dr. Clark should be a first consideration. God bless his tireless bear big heart. The people who know him know, so you will wait, and wait, and wait. But there is no better care I've accessed in this valley and I've seen six different Vets between Indio, La Quinta and Palm Desert. read more

Best vet in the desert. From the office staff, technicians, to the doctor this place is the best. They are kind and helpful. They understand animals weird quirks and help to make everyone feel comfortable and calm. read more

We were there yesterday, and honestly, will never go back! We got there prior to our 3:15 appt, waited an hour for them to take our dog in (you can't go in with your dog!!) An hour later our dog was finally seen and the doctor came out to talk to us. Forty five minutes after that, I told them to give me my anxious dog while they deal with all their disorganization and over bookings, and prepare the meds we needed...my dog was in their long enough, unnecessarily! And no, there were no pet emergencies, just too many of us! Our whole first experience was three hours of waiting outside, not even in a waiting room that was too small! We should have read the reviews, and between the lines. Lots of people recommend him...I and the other new customers there said never again! This guy is busy based on hype only! Please don't put your dog through what our dog and others went through read more

This vet is the best !! I drive 2 hours to see him. He's not about the $ he's about the animals! read more

Dr Clark and his staff are amazing. Dr Clark answers the phone even at 8 p.m. He's incredible.

Dr Clark was so kind and compassionate. He genuinely cares for your pet. Thank Dr Clark and staff

We just took our puppy to get his puppy shots. When I walked in, the doctor was at the front desk and greeted me kindly. Our appointment was at 1:15pm and waited an hour to be seen. I honestly would of waited as long as needed because both the doctor and office staff are working hard and endlessly to see everyone. During our visit there were 2 gentleman that came with a very sick weak looking dog. I witnessed the doctor come outside to them so they didn't have to keep moving the sick dog. I could tell he was genuine and showed concern. Back inside the waiting room i sat amongst regular patients and their owners. They had nothing but great things to say about the doctor and from everything I witnessed, i could confirm their positive feedback. This is a super personable office that really has your pets best interest. They've gained our business and trust! Just remember when visiting Dr.Clarks office that he also takes emergency appointments so your wait time will vary but he's honestly worth the wait! :) read more

Excellent Service , every time I call , Dr Clark talks to me , and he made an appointment for my GS Odin right away ! I really recommend him , don't go to VCA hospital it's a rip off Eddy read more

Dr. Clark has saved 2 of my dogs that were on the brink of death. He knows his animals and doesn't upsell unnecessary procedures. If the pet needs it, he will tell you. But lots of times he can diagnose & treat without. Dianne C read more

Highly recommend Dr Clark. He is a good old fashioned vet, who is still independent from the VAC Corporate System. He takes care of all my pets for many years now. He has never failed me or them read more

Dr. Clark is amazing! Kind, compassionate and always available. He has taken care of our little Retta for a year and tonight, he helped our little Retta cross over the rainbow. He was so compassionate and sensitive to our needs. He relaxed her first and allowed us as much time as we needed before putting her to sleep. I am so grateful for him. read more

I can't tell you just how much I LOVE Dr. James Clark!! The first time I met him w/ my puggle Costello he sat down next to me & Costello jumped right on his lap! He is so personable, caring, informative & a Veterinarian who cares not only for your fur baby but it's owner as well! His office visits are around 60 bucks, and all else including monthly meds he is spot on with competitors pricing! I can't recommend a BETTER VET in the desert!! Thank you James Clark your THE BEST!! read more

I absolutely love Dr. Clark. My dog developed hemorrhagic gastroenteritis. I thought my dog was going to die. I called him, bawling my eyes out and he took my dog in quickly. he kept him for four days and gave him fluids and antibiotics and by the time I got my dog, he was much better eating and drinking fluids. Prior to that I had gotten a quote from another big name, corporate veterinarian, who shall remain nameless, who quoted me close to three grand to have my dogs teeth cleaned, but when I went to Dr. Clark he only charged me a third of that for sedation cleaning, rabies vaccine, clipping his nails and expressing anal glands! Be forewarned, there is often times a long wait, but definitely worth it for a great care without a large price tag! read more

Dr. Clark and his staff are caring, compassionate people who take wonderful care of your pet. I recently had to take my beautiful 15 year old dachshund, Kona, to see Dr. Clark. He was very sick but I didn't know how bad it was. Dr. Clark cared for my boy for 48 hours but there was little to do. I took him home to spend time with him and so his sister could see him one last time. I could not have asked for any better experience under the circumstances. Dr. Clark gave me a private environment to facilitate my Kona crossing the rainbow bridge. He was so caring and compassionate to all of us. I cannot recommend Dr. Clark and his amazing staff highly enough. This wonderful doctor answers his own phone if necessary. Who does that anymore? Thank you, Dr. Clark, for everything. read more

Dr. Clark and his staff were amazing. I was traveling through and had an emergency with my dog and they took me right away. He was reasonably priced unlike corporate clinics. Highly recommend! read more

Dr. James Clark loves animals. For this reason I love taking my Boston terriers to him for their care. He takes his time in answers everyone of your questions thoroughly. I feel that my animals are in the best hands with him! I also own a horse which he gives great advice as he tackles his health issues. Thank you Dr. Clark for being really well priced and a amazing doctor for all animals! read more

Run away from this place. Firstly, this is run from a person's home, so if you are looking for a professional building this definitely is NOT the place for you. Let me give you a visual of my experience and you can judge for yourself.... Upon entering you see a yard with numerous people with their dogs waiting outside. During the summer this is insane and incredibly inhumane. I'm the immensely small and horridly smelling indoor reception room where one checks in there is maybe 10 x 10 area on the floor, which when full the dogs are on top of one another, which does not help a dog's anxiety which is already high from going to the vet. Upon registering I was informed ( as this was my first time here) that I was not allowed to go back with my dog. I have never heard of such a thing. The real kicker is that I was told that if I wanted to go back with my dog it would be a much longer wait. How does this even make sense? It makes me think that clearly the veterinarian does not actually see these dogs. As I shared, it is run from a home so who knows, maybe there is only a facade front area and the diogs are not even treated in a proper treatment room? Finally, both myself and my dog felt extremely uneasy there. Something is simply off. It did not smell nor look clean and the fact that I could not go with my dog the first time he is being seen is extremely strange to me, especially after I was told if I wanted to go back with my dog that it would be a longer wait. After sitting and waiting outside for 40 minutes, I began asking around to fellow dog owners who waiting how long it usually takes. According to them it usually takes 2 hours to be seen. With an appointment. Which I had. That was enough. I chose to leave. My dog was beyond anxious, it was dirty there and something simply felt off. read more

Absolutely amazing! Incredible doctor and staff. They are so kind and patient and work their tails off. This is like your old-school, hometown veterinarian. They were able to get us in the day I called. The other vet we worked with said it would take 2 weeks to get an appointment. What???!!! 2 weeks! Not Dr Clark. He took us the same day and fixed my baby right up! Incredible. Thank you, Dr Clark and team for all you do for our community. You are soooo appreciated. read more

Dr Clark is amazing always there when your pet is in need HES not 24 hours but sometimes seems like he works 24 hours very caring smart man Very greatful to have someone in the area giving affordable amazing care I'm always recommending him in puppy parks for a reason! read more

I am sorry to have to provide an update to this review. While Dr Clark and his staff remain as concerned about their patients' care, the experience of bringing a pet in for a scheduled appointment is absolutely terrible. For quite some time now it has been a regular occurrence to show up on time/early for an appointment and to not have your pet brought in even after two hours of waiting. And the waiting area is outdoors, so you end up spending hours in the heat with no indication as to when your pet will be seen. We are sad to say that after yet another appointment that requires a multi-hour wait (and taking over 3.5 hours total between scheduled appointment time and be departure), we are going to have to find another veterinarian. It's very disappointing. I'm happy to see that Dr Clark is busy and has a thriving practice, but his affordable fees aren't attractive enough to justify the incredible inconvenience and frustration that their delays cause. read more

Thank you Dr Clark, I was here in La Quinta on vacation when my dog got sick. I had been dealing with my vet at home but had concerns about my 9 year old cavapoo. Dr Clark took the time to personally get on the phone and discuss with me how best to handle my sick dog. I haven't personally met with Dr Clark but he must truly love animals since he took the time to get on the phone. Thanks you Dr Clark read more

The best !!! Dr.Clark is one in a million, kind, caring and knowledgeable. Took exceptional care of our cat "Norman".

When down in the desert area, I usually use Dr. Clark as a veterinarian. I have gone to his clinic for years but every time I go and have an appointment I need to add a three hour block of time because that's how much time it usually takes to actually get in for my appointment. I also have had a rude receptionist to deal with. Although I really like Dr. Clark as a veterinarian, I probably won't be going back unless I have nothing to do or if I can make an appointment as the first one of the day or the last one of the day however, I've heard from other people that they've been there till 10 o'clock trying to get in for their 6pm appointment. That hasn't been my experience but yesterday my appointment was at 4:30 and I did not see him until 730. I understand when there's an emergency and maybe that affects the time of appointments but I don't think there's an emergency every time that I've gone there. I guess I just have to decide whether it's worth it to sit for three hours in order to get in to see Dr.Clark. Does anyone else have a recommendation for a veterinarian? read more

Dr. Clark has been my families vet for over 20 years, and has always given our animals quality care. Now that I have pets of my own, my senior intact dog had a uterine infection after a heat, and Dr. Clark was willing to see her in an emergency when just about every other VCA clinic and Animal Samaritans could not be of help. He took care of her during his clinic being closed and I think it's amazing to have a vet who cares much more about the animal health than a lot of others in the valley. read more

I called this office when my Doxie hurt her leg. Out of 18 Vet's I called that day that couldn't get me in for at least two weeks this was the only office that offer to work with me and try to get me in to see the doctor. The receptionist was really great and gave me good advice no one else bothered to even hear what was wrong. Yes this is my Vet from this point on I can't say enough read more

First, Dr Clark has treated all our pets with the last of them being our beloved Roger. Today we had to say goodbye. Dr Clark did all he could for him, but Roger was 17 and it was just his time. Dr Clark and staff were very compassionate and always have been. Thank you Dr Clark and staff for the loving services you have provided for all of our pets. I highly recommend Dr Clark. read more

Clark James H DVM - Our two Dogues who love their vet!!! - Veterinarians Near Me - Indio, California

I'm leaving a 3 stars solely because of the wait. You will wait a minimum of 3 hours after your appointed time. I've waited 4 hours last time. 2 outside and 2 in my car since it was raining FOR AN ALLERGY SHOT. The pro is the vet is excellent with animals. And once your dog is in you only wait 30mins. read more

We moved here one a year ago, but due to Covid restrictions, we had to wait for the government to loosen restrictions for vets to allow new patients. Thankfully, when things opened up, Dr. James Clark allowed our beloved cat, Socks, to be established as his new patient. Socks had a great first exam and vaccination. Less than three weeks later, Socks developed a health issue. Dr. Clark didn't have any openings for two weeks, but since our boy was ill and an established patient, Dr. Clark said to bring him in the following day as an emergency, and he will fit Socks in. Again, we are lucky to have Dr. Clark as our vet. His staff are extremely compassionate and helpful. We highly recommend Dr. Clark. read more

Dr. Clark loves your pets as much as you do. He shows care for them in how he talks to you. I trust him with my three dogs. He is decently priced, long hours, and tries to work you into his schedule if your furry family members get sick. Very compassionate when the time comes to make the difficult decision of having to put down your loved ones. Even during COVID he ensures that you are able to hold your loved one as long as you want. read more

Called for an emergency with my dog hade 3 seizures within 24 hrs after never having seizures and was told on the phone by dr clark that he didn't want to start anything before his long weekend. Definitely wont be taking any of my dogs here. read more

Dr. Clark has been our go to vet for 10 years. He's a straight shooter, and my partner and I appreciate his honesty and no bs way of doing. Things. I've heard from a few accounts that he's lacks empathy and a bed side manner, and if I were a bit more of a sensitive person, I could easily see this. However, I'd much prefer someone who doesn't sugar coat things, so I personally don't mind. One suggestion to Dr Clark and his team: Jim, you're spread too thin and need to delegate to your staff! It's sometimes frustrating waiting for a call that never comes when he personally says he'll call regarding a medical outcome/diagnosis/etc. I eventually will harass his office until I get a hold of him, but this can be tiring. Other than that, we're clients for life! read more

Great vet if your willing to wait for longevity periods to be seen after your appointment time.

My review was erased, because it wasn't positive. The business lacks seriously in customer service ,knowledge and empathy. I had an appointment at 10:00 AM and my dog was the last dog to be seen I'm still scratching my head on this one. The manager refused to see me when I asked, saying she was too busy. I'm so glad people can read review positive and negative. I'm not sure how my comments got erased . It's like the better business bureau. Do they have our best interest first or the people that pay them. So, anyway, I would tell people to pick another veterinarian business . I know there isn't a lot of quality and few veterinarians in the desert. Good luck. read more

We were visiting the area, when our dog started having some issues so I started calling around. The man that answered the phone was extremely unhelpful, and told me I needed to call back later. This place is listed online under MANY different names/phone numbers, so as I continue to try to find the help I need I unintentionally get this place again. SHADY - why so many names and numbers for the same place? When I explain the situation with my dog he snapped "you already called here!" and then, he slammed down the phone. I'm just looking for a vet that can help my poor dog, and he HANGS UP ON ME? If you read the reviews you will see I am far from the only person who has been treated like this, this is clearly not a calm or caring place place, that wants to help animals. I would never bring my pets here. read more

Dr. Clark is awesome. He is very caring and always takes great care of our fur child.

If I could have given a zero star rating, I would have. Long story short, DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS PLACE!!! If you want to take the time to know why, please keep reading Shady "business" from the start. Made an appointment to have my pet checked out. First one available was a week and a half out, but I booked it. On the day of my 1:15 appointment I went to the address given and could hardly find it as there are not Signs for the business at all. Apparently it is run out of the home of the Vet. Got there and people were sitting in plastic chair outside with their pets in the yard. Checked in and had to fill out my infor and my dogs info. After waiting an hour, they finally took my dog back. 2 hours later I finally got pissed and asked what is going on. Then the doctor said he checked him out and wanted to "squeeze" me in to have x-rays done (like he was doing me a favor after taking 3 hours to make this decision. Then 45 minutes later the Vet wanted to go over the x-ray results. He knew I was upset and kept saying he was doing me a favor to even have done the x-ray because he had to "squeeze" me in and became combative with me. He went over the results and said he should do blood work. I asked him where my dog has been for the last 3.5 hours and what was happening with him. He said he has been fine in some type of box in the back. A BOX??? Then after a little over 4 hours i was given my $700 invoice to pay and told to call back after 9:00am he next morning for blood test results. Called and said call back after 11:00. Gave them more time and didn't call back unitl 1:00. Was put on a 15 minute hold and finally hung up and tried calling back 10 times and got nothing but a busy signal. I sent an email since they would not answer the phone requesting the blood test results and well as x-ray images. The following morning I got an email with two pages of test results with no explanation of what they meant. I still have not received the x-ray images. This Vet purposely over books his appointments and gets behind early in the day which just gets worse as the day goes on. Gets people there, registered and then the wait begins. If you don't believe me, read the other reviews or ask other legitimate Veterinarians in the area about this Dr's reputation. I wish I had before experiencing this for myself. read more
