I brought all of my cats to Deerfield Veterinary for a routine checkup, and overall they were friendly, but I left feeling really dismissed as a pet owner. One of my cats, Kitty, had been itching her ears constantly and slinging water out of them for a long time. She's had an ear infection before, so I knew that's what it was. I mentioned it multiple times during the visit, but they brushed it off and told me her ears were just "a little dirty." I wasn't comfortable with that answer, so I took her to Galloway afterward. They immediately diagnosed her with an ear infection and gave her ear drops, and she's already doing better. It's frustrating when you trust a vet with your pets and feel like your concerns aren't taken seriously. I just expected more thorough care and attention, especially after specifically pointing out an ongoing issue. I won't be returning. read more

We lost Jesse to stage 4 kidney disease. Thank you for making an extremely painful experience less traumatic.

Got me in on very short notice while traveling with my 12-week old kittens and took very good care of them with vaccination updates and wellness check. read more

They ALWAYS take good care of me and my BFFF (beloved feline friend forever). They respond quickly and thoroughly. I am happy that I found a wonderful vet for my dear sweetpea kitten. read more

Deerfield Veterinary Hospital - Veterinarians Near Me - Springfield, Missouri

The veterinarian and vet tech who attended to me and my new pet were very nice and gentle with my cat. The veterinarian took her time to answer all my questions, and did a thorough exam. I selected this veterinary hospital because it had good reviews and a free wellness exam for "new healthy pets" is offered on the hospital's website. I had called to make an appointment for my newly adopted cat and was directed to the page for new clients with a large ad for a free wellness exam, to fill out a form, but when I went for my exam, was charged a regular fee. I was a little surprised, though the exam was worth it. When I went back home, I checked the website again to see if the offer had been taken down, or I had misunderstood it. It was still there, so I sent a message to the veterinary hospital to ask about the offer. I was told I would have had to bring the ad with me to be given the free wellness exam. So -- if you want to redeem this offer, make sure you print the page on the website and take it with you to your appointment, or you will not be given the free wellness exam for a new healthy pet. read more

I would NEVER go back to this place. I took my dog here, the vet had never met me or my dog. Before he examined my dog, he told me I should get rid of him due to his anxiety issues. I was appalled and let him know how I felt about his opinion. They also WON'T see any animal with anxiety unless they are drugged. I even had them cancel an appt when i got there because my dog wasn't drugged enough. DON'T GO HERE. They are awful and couldn't care less about your animals and will only deal with drugged animals because they clearly can't do their job. read more

My experience with the staff at Deerfield Vet Hospital has been outstanding. Very friendly and attentive staff and Vet Tech, and Dr Denise was very thorough, friendly and attentive as well. She answered all my questions at the clinic, as well as calling me back several times I've had questions since my cat's initial appointment. And since our appointment, my cat's eyes are doing better than they ever have before. As a new patient and new to the area I am fortunate to have chosen such a great place, and I highly recommend this clinic. read more

So since I've left Ned C the owner a bad review he has a page dedicated to bad reviews. I have found a good vet that has prescribed all medicine for my pet on my first visit and was able to check his neck which this vet couldn't even get near him and when I told her about this quack wanting me to move my dog under severe pain she said don't you dare move him you make him comfortable and quiet and give him the meds that this place 2 times wouldn't give. This new vet took all information down on paper unlike Deerfield they took no notes on my concern why I bring my pet in for care. Ned C doesn't no what he is doing having a conversation with him on the phone demanding I move my pet under pain when he has spells and denial of the reason I establish pet care at there facility. Warning inhumane service period. read more

We are thrilled to have discovered Dr. Denise and Deerfield Veterinary Hospital! Our kitty Tucker gets extraordinarily stressed out leaving home, but he had an infection and needed treatment. Dr. Denise was incredibly gentle and calming, and put Tucker at ease, as well as me! She clearly is an expert in both her medical knowledge and bedside manner. Rare is the vet who can make the whole family AND their pet feel lovingly cared for! I was pleasantly surprised by the reasonable price for the treatment, too. No sticker shock here! We are so pleased in every regard! The icing on the cake was when Dr. Denise was able to "walk" Tucker back into his cat carrier on his own free will. Since when do cats ever willingly go into their cat carriers? Mine never has...until she magically coaxed him to do it! Like I said, we were pleased in every regard! read more

As always, the staff and Doctor do a wonderful job of treating my sweet old girl. They complete a thorough work up, ask me a lot of questions, are kind and attentive with my dogs and do an outstanding job of treating the issue. They are great communicators and follow up to make sure things are going according to the treatment plan. I highly recommend them! read more

I am an otr truck driver and a few weeks ago I rescued Aries, a beautiful blue pit bull puppy from a puppy mill in Michigan. He was very malnourished and within a day or so I realized he was also very ill. I called several veterinary clinics in the Springfield area and seemed to encounter a lack of interest in seeing my new baby. At Deerfield that was the complete opposite. They immediately worked him in and began treating him for parvo. He had a 50/50 chance that he would pull through but the doctors and staff only ever expressed hope and love for him. They gave me updates several times a day, and three days later I took him home. He is a healthy, happy puppy now, and that is completely due to the incredible care he received at Deerfield. We plan on a long term relationship with Deerfield and I would encourage you to give yourself and your pets the gift of being part of the Deerfield family. read more

If you can't stand great reviews...just pass this one now. I have never come across ANY vet clinic/doctor group that comes anywhere near this one! All the doctors are top-notch and really delightful to have as part of our animal family.And the staff? Just impossible to match -- especially Kristin. We have two cats and the fact that they are easily more comfortable in this facility than they have been anywhere else also says a lot. Our animals were already fixed when we moved to Springfield, so we have no surgery experience with them. However, my husband's mother and sister have both needed surgery for their animals (dogs and cats) and everyone has been completely happy with the procedures. We had heard so much about Deerfield before we moved here, in fact, that we were a bit hesitant to automatically take them on their recommendations. Now, we've seen for ourselves that all we had been told is true and we will always recommend them to anyone we know for any kind of vet concerns. We will always be pet owners, so we rest assured that we will be part of their family for life! read more

Took my new puppy there a few weeks ago and were well taken care of!! They made sure to explain everything to us and talked us through what the next steps would be and their recommendations. We felt heard and also very comfortable taking our puppy there. They did a great job and we will definitely be regular customers. read more

I've been going to this vet for 15 years and never have I been treated like I was this last time. There are new vets there that need to not talk to you like your stupid! read more

The place is very clean and the staff is very nice. The doctors take their time with your pet and are willing to spend time answering questions. I think my dog gets better care here than most humans can expect from their doctor. I boarded my dog here for a week and he came home looking happy and healthy. This is the best vet's office I have ever used. read more

Dr. Denise is an incredible Vet. She is so loving and caring towards my dog Lucky. You want your vet to love your dog just as much as you do and I truly believe she does! The staff over at Deerfield are just as amazing as she is! They are always so friendly and kind even when I ask them ten million questions because I am an over protective dog mom. Lucky has pretty bad anxiety and they are so accommodating and let Lucky stay on my lap the entire visit. They try to make him as comfortable as possible and that means a lot. If you are looking for a thorough, down to earth, animal loving vet, then I recommend you check at Deerfield and Dr. Denise! read more

My family and I have been going to Deerfield for over 20 years. Each time we are there they are so friendly and so excited to see our pets. But they were like this from the beginning. They have always shown genuine concern for us and our pets. read more

By far the best veterinarian office I have been to, hands down! It's less expensive than most in town, offer a $15 discount on first visit and the people there are incredible! I had 45 mins worth of questions and they answered every single one of them AND printed off information and answers for me! They were awesome and I highly recommend this to anyone looking for amazing services! read more

The staff, each one, at Deerfield is very caring to both the patient and the parent! We received exceptional care, and very prompt and caring customer service! Dr. Denise! I've never had a doctor that was more caring, kind, compassionate, and communicative than Dr. Denise. Dr. Denise took care of my furry child, cat, with so much care. She called me multiple times a day as needed to keep me updated to how he was doing, when he stayed a few nights at the clinic. She was absolutely a God send. She knew we spent a ridiculous amount at the emergency clinic before we brought him to to Deerfield (and we still had no idea what was wrong other than, he survived the night at the emergency clinic, we didn't even speak to the emergency vet because she sent the tech to check us out, pay the bill and leave). Once we brought him to Deerfield, super early as soon as the clinic opened, Dr. Denise called to let us know how he was doing, and she kept us updated while we could not see him (we went to work). I recommend Dr. Denise to any caring pet parent. I've never felt like a vet was so in tune with the cat as well as the parents. After our baby got a little better, he was released and even though we didn't always see Dr. Denise (do to our work schedule) I use to call her with questions and she would spend as much time as we needed to answer our questions- sometimes 20 minutes. She consulted us over the phone without charging us a dime. The meds he received, we purchased from the vet, were very reasonably priced. The visit prices were very reasonable as well. read more

We have went back and forth on posting this review, but decided to after much thought. My wife is very knowledgeable on the health of our schnauzer, and reads constantly on the subject. We decided to give this vet a try after moving to the area. We had called ahead and talked to the front desk, followed by a personal visit, before setting up the appointment. We explained that she was needing a three year rabies shot. On the day of the appointment, we checked in and was shown to a room. The tech came in and verified that she needed a blood draw for senior wellness as well as a three year rabies shot. He took her to the back and drew the blood and returned. A short time later the vet, Dr Caldwell came in with the syringe for the shot. Please note that we said all along that we were wanting a three year rabies shot only to find out that he gave her a one year shot. When we pointed out that the protocol is three years. He then accused us of not saying what we wanted, he did not have a good defense. He then threw the tech under the bus for not relaying the info properly. The vaccines are identical in duration, but he would only issue a one year certificate. At this point he was pretty pissed with us because we know more than the average dog owner. He then proceeded to examine her teeth and then gave us a ridiculous bid, double what most vets charge. We felt that he was trying to get rid of us. Also, we cook for our dog, and he didn't like that. He also didn't like our heartworm protocol which is based on research by professionals in California. After all of this, he flat out said that we should find another vet and basically don't come back. We suggest that you pet owners find a different vet if you genuinely care about the health of your pet. read more
