They are amazing !!! they care about the animals, they're not just about the Almighty dollar. My daughter who is having financial issues brought her Cat to this clinic and and they saved its life. He was literally about to pass away from urinary tract issue and these caring kind people did everything they could to help him and save her financial devastation. I would recommend this talented kind caring team for anyone that has a family member that happens to be an animal. read more

Our pets (cat and dog) have been patients of this office for the past 5 years. Every single time, we have been met with the highest level of compassion, empathy, and top notch care out of any vet office we have ever been to (and we are from NYC--the care there is some of the best in the country). Every front staff member, tech, and veterinarian has always gone above and beyond for our babies. It is clear that they care. Maui is BEYOND lucky to have Dr. Leaper and the rest of his staff. Many mahalos!! read more

Wonderful vet. Such nice and caring people. They always take good care of our fur baby.

I've been taking my babies here for years now. I absolutely love everyone who works there and i genuinely feel like they care about my fur babies. They call me back immediately Monday and get me in right away if I call over the weekend. They also call the next day to see how the babies are doing and I appreciate that very much. Highly recommend this place. It might not be the cheapest but definitely the best and worth every penny read more

I moved to Maui 2 weeks ago and brought my 6 month old Golden Retriever Maggie over with me from California. I only wanted to bring my puppy if I could do direct airport release (DAR) with no quarantine so I started the process 3 months out. Kihei Vet was one of the choices to meet my dog on arrival so I contacted Kim at KVC and she was amazing. Being a new dog owner and trusting my puppy to strangers was uncomfortable but Kim helped me through the whole process and it was easy! They did a great job and my puppy is now living in Maui thanks to their care and concern for her well being. I highly recommend them! read more

They are always happy to see my dogs, and everyone there seems to really love animals and they take their jobs seriously. With two dogs, we come frequently and have always been impressed with the service and outcome. read more

I'm literally sick over how this place has treated my family. The reviewer who stated "the place is run by a guy who will argue every point and only hires vets that will increase his profits" pretty much hit the nail on the head. After bringing our very sick dog in, the vet was extremely rude to us. After getting insulted and going through what felt like a "money grab", the actual care of our pet felt like the least important thing to them. Our Dog ended up dying and instead of taking any responsibility, they tried to turn it on us. They asked me to come in and I thought it was to apologize and compensate us in some way. Instead, the man berrated me for over a half hour and continuly tried to change the narrative, no matter how many times I corrected him. I left there sick and have felt sick about it since. I have called the office to speak to the manager again and she never returned my calls. This place is serious bad news. Don't take your pets to the awful place. After reading his long winded responses to every negative review, I'm not even going to go into anymore details and deal with anymore of his toxic hostility. We are grieving our dog dying and this man had the nerve to speak to me horribly. I can't even wrap my head around how traumatic this feels. Don't go here. read more

We researched Dr. Leaper before moving to Maui 8 years ago. We wanted a vet to provide routine care and anything else that might come up with our beloved French Bulldog. But we also needed a vet who saw us as a team in caring for our dog. Dr. Leaper stays current with constantly evolving science and often refers to current scientific studies in discussions of our dog's health. He is kind and respectful and he truly cares about his patients. There is no better veterinary care on Maui. read more

I had the chance recently to visit Kihei Veterinary Clinic. While I was there I was lucky enough to be given a tour by one of the owners who had some free time and I also got a glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes! Wow, as a client you mostly just get to see the lobby and the exam rooms but this time I was able to see their treatment areas, xray area, pharmacy and all the stuff you know must be there but you never get to see. I was impressed by the layout and how everything was organized as well as how busy and committed to their work everyone seemed to be. There were two really sick dogs there from the same family and everyone was heartsick over it and trying to do everything they could to make a difference. Sometimes when you talk to the staff you don't realize how much they care until you see them in action trying to save a life. As clients we don't always get to witness that. Dr. Leaper was there and getting ready to go out on a house call and his staff was so good about making sure he had everything he needed because who knows the situation will be when you get there? Anyway I really appreciated the tour and it gave me a deeper understanding of the practice and how dedicated they are to helping animals. I highly recommend Kihei Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Jerob Leaper! read more

I can't recommend Kihei Vet Clinic enough! All of our pets have been receiving trusted & reliable services here for about eight years. I end up coming in at least once a month as we have many fur babies! The way they interact with my animals, always assures me that my babies are in the BEST hands. We have had to go through almost everything with them, from leg amputations to eye surgeries, to sicknesses, you name it! Some situations had us stressed & concerned, but Kihei Vet ALWAYS takes the best care and takes all the worry away! They do anything they can to make any process/procedure smoother for myself and for our pets. What I love most about Kihei Vet Clinic: The compassion & knowledge of the staff. I don't have children of my own, so my pets are my family. Dr. Leaper & the staff have treated myself and my pets with the upmost respect & care, every time we come in. With all the changes throughout the years, we are so grateful that we can consistently rely on this vet clinic for my kiddos! We can't thank them enough for their quality & outstanding services! That's hard to find here on Maui, so look no further. read more

Dr. Leaper is the best. We have a special needs dog (very special needs...he was found in a ditch in Lahaina when he was a few months old and has several neurological abnormalities). Doc Leap NEVER suggests we do more than is indicated for the specific reason we brought him in, while at the same time never making us feel like he's rushing us out. He sits on the floor to treat our guy bc Houdini has difficulty standing for too long. He is thorough and kind and explains everything in detail. One time I was bringing in both of my dogs at the same time, and his front desk staff saw me struggling in the parking lot. They came outside and insisted on letting them help me. Keep up the good work in our South Maui community! read more

​​ I took my dog in for a small limp and when I picked him up he was worse than when I dropped him off when I called them they said that he has arthritis and that they were moving his limbs around he's probably just sore but he's progressively gotten worse since his visit and now he can barely walk and this happened just a week or two ago I really think something went wrong and they did something to hurt my dog now I have to take him to another vet to see what's really going on . Needless to say I'm very upset about the care he received at Kihei Veterinary Clinic I'll never take my dog back there. I was not recommend this vet to anyone anyone as my 14-year-old Chihuahua mix is now suffering extremely. Signed disgruntled dog mom read more

Let me begin with the answer to all you pet traveling concerns... KAREN HANNIE DVM!!! My husband, newborn daughter and I are planning to move to Maui in the next few months and will be traveling with our two little furballs, Bella and Delcie, both Morkies. Karen emailed me back and forth and even spoke with me over the phone multiple times to go over the process of how to move to Hawaii with pets. She has a wonderfully easy to understand checklist she emails and has all the necessary paperwork from the Hawaii Department of Agriculture needed, as well! The process can be a bit confusing but she answers her personal cell to answer all questions and walk you through it! She is absolutely wonderful!! She eased all my anxiety and was able to answer and guide me through all my questions and concerns! Karen Hannie saved us OVER $1,200 with her knowledge of the required Rabies Titer FAVN blood work needed to move to Hawaii! Every vet office I checked here in California in the Sacramento area wanted to charge me over $575 PER DOG for this test and Karen said, "NO, absolutely NOT! Do not pay that. They are taking advantage of you! They should not be allowed to charge that much!" She advised me to call back and ask how much each office would charge me to have "blood drawn and packaged" done and some vets said, "I've never heard of that service being requested before" so I kept calling different vet offices and finally found one that does not over charge and they knew exactly of that services I was asking about regarding moving to Hawaii and only charges $35 per dog for the blood work and packaging!!! This is so I can take the blood in a tube vial myself to Fedex and have it shipped to Kansas State Rabies clinic and pay them directly, which saves us over $600 per dog!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS!? I was so happy with her knowledge and help on how not to get raped and overcharged by these crazy vet offices! The vet office I found with these great prices is Orangevale Vet Hospital in Orangevale, California! Highly recommend them! THANK YOU KAREN SO MUCH FOR EVERYTHING! We look forward to meeting you in Maui and having you meet your newest patients, our little furballs Bella and Delcie. We can't wait to have you be our vet once we move! You're wonderful! read more

I can't count the number of times I've been helped by the employees at Kihei Veterinary Clinic (my dog is a doofus). They've always been very straightforward and sympathetic, laying out my options for whatever problem Max has gotten himself into this time - ranging from lacerations, porcupine quills, skunk odor, back injuries, cysts, you name it. In particular I'd like to give a shout-out to Jessica Blaney, as before she was the manager, she was a damn good vet tech - and she is the only reason my dog is alive after he decided to chug some anti-freeze. read more

Just a lovely veterinary clinic ... I couldn't be happier with the care they have given to all my menagerie of beloved pets. just can't say enough great things about Dr Leper and his outstanding, professional and top notch staff! It's obvious that they not only care for our animals, but take excellent care of their people as well. Everyone is ALWAYS courteous, kind, professional and caring. Running a business in hawaii is never easy - I give these folks five stars for excellent customer service and superb compassionate care Personally, I prefer to deal with a Maui family run business ... not a mainland corporation. This is a Maui family run business that cares about our pets and our community. read more

I've been taking my dog to Kihei Veterinary Clinic since 2016. After my recent experience, I felt it was my duty to leave a review of my complete experience, past & present, to inform the public. I took my dog in a couple years back for dental cleaning and when I went to pick him up, they told me that they had to pull some teeth, this was without contacting me, and they wouldn't show me the teeth they pulled, just the invoice. Strike One! Even though I was disappointed, I believe in second chances so I stayed with them but kept in mind what they did so that I could let them know that I want to be notified with any changes to the treatment in the future. About a year ago, I had an emergency and needed to get in, my dog couldn't walk and was in extreme pain, but they said that they were short staffed, and I would have to take him somewhere else. UGH! Strike Two! Well, this week, I thought I would give them another chance since they are close, I called them on Tuesday to see if I could get my dog in for a nail trim, and they were able to schedule him in pretty much any day this week, I guess their schedule is very open these days even with their minimal staff. I made the appointment for Thursday morning, and as I parked, I noticed multiple signs posted all over their wall and on their windows and doors stating their policy for entry, which I had No Problem with. So, as I opened their door, I notified them, and made a joke while doing so, that I didn't have with me the item to comply, and the item was brought to me by a nice receptionist, I made a light comment about the item that I was handed of what I was informed by my Doctor and many others. This is where things changed, I guess it was the vet, he started raising his voice at me from far across the room stating, "I'm a Doctor" "I'm a Doctor" and on and on! This is when I left because I didn't feel comfortable leaving my dog with him. Strike Three! It got even worse; within about an hour, this "Dr" started emailing me long rants from the clinics email address to my personal email address. I'm hoping his patients weren't being neglected during this time. This was just weird. I definitely made the right decision to walk out and not have them perform a simple nail trim, who knows how my pet would be treated if pet owners are treated in such a disrespectful manner. I would Never Recommend Kihei Veterinary Clinic or any other Clinic this "Dr" may work within. This review was revised to comply with Yelps Guidelines, see attached pic for the Truth on why. Also, read another long rant similar to the ones he emailed to me with Lies and Exaggerations below. Jarob is a very dishonest person! Hate Speech? Never, unless I unknowingly use the wrong pronoun for you! Extremely Unprofessional Jarob! read more

We've had nothing but issues with their vet clinic. It's run by someone who argues every point and employs only vets that will increase his profits. From dogs to cats I'd steer clear. Also if something goes wrong or you request additional information on procedures be prepared for them to tell you to go somewhere else. Was about to spend $1000+ on a procedure and all we wanted was to speak to the vet before hand to get a vibe check and make sure everything was necessary. Instead after multiple attempts to contact her we received an email. Here's some free business advice. If someone is going to spend a lot of hard earned money on a surgery have the decency and respect to return their calls, so that you can address everyone's concerns. We already had the appointment just needed some reassurance. I had other bad experiences with this vet but after this last one I'll never go here. UNQUALIFIED and UNPROFESSIONAL! read more

Always have the worst experience when I come in. The receptionist is the rudest and acts like they don't like animals. Always have to wait 15-20 minutes. I NEED to find another local vet if anyone has recommendations. Update- after posting my review I was able to speak to the Doctor and was assured that my feedback was helpful I feel confident that my review, though not 5 stars, will get the attention it deserves. Thank you for a more positive ending to my dogs appointment. read more

We brought in our bulldog for his check up before we set off to fly him back to the mainland after 10 months on the island. We were seen right away and all the techs and vet were absolutely lovely and treated our mildly stubborn boy with nothing but patience and kindness. Our paperwork was ready promptly and we set off to enjoy our last day at beach. Thank you Kīhei vet clinic team read more

We moved to this vet clinic after reading the great online reviews. We were at another place, closer to our house, but this place felt more welcoming. We brought our dog in, for a health check-up and some concerns about her biting or chewing herself. The vet explained to us about some dog behavior and even went so far to kindly give my husband advice about lowering "his yang" so that the dog, who seemed more on the "yin" side, would feel less threatened by his boisterous, happy go lucky personality. She also educated us on the heartworm issue here on Maui. We had no idea! It is imperative that all dog owners give their dogs monthly heartworm medicine due to the prevalence of the disease here on island. Poor doggies. It might sound spooky-hooky to some people but I thought her professional manner and theory about the on-again, off-again relationship between the dog and my husband was spot-on. "Lower your yang" became a funny joke for us, for a while. ;) Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience and plan to return, and add our cat to their clinic. read more

When we needed a new vet, friends recommended Kihei Veterinarian Clinic. Dr Christie is so sweet gentle, patient and thorough. She puts everyone at ease, humans and animals alike and makes difficult situations a little more bearable. The rest of the staff is equally helpful. Expect to wait a bit, but know it's because good care is being giving and they work hard to squeeze everyone in, for urgent needs. read more

I wanted to commend Dr. Helman and every technician/reception/staff person I've encountered here since I started with them a ack in August.Today she got her teeth cleaned, which marks our third visit since we got to the island. I've been all over the country and have had many vets over the years, all of them with pluses and minuses. But I have to say that Kihei Vet Clinic is simply a class act, all around. They actually love animals (which hasn't always been my experience), and everyone -- reception, techs, assistants, and Dr Helman -- is kind, informed, and attentive to what is going on with my dog. I've been to vet offices that barely seem to keep track of who's on the appointment list for the day, let alone have everyone in the chain know my dog by name and exactly what she's there for. As a practical matter, they tell me what I need without throwing in stuff I don't. They are straight up, transparent about costs, and clear about potential contingencies. They educate without condescension, and they offer alternatives based on various factors -- urgency, costs, timing, holistic approaches when applicable, etc. They're professional, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. So glad I found you guys!!! read more

Brought two cats from the mainland to MAUI. Not only did Karen Hannie help us through the paperwork to get our cats here she also followed up with the State of Hawaii to make sure everything was done correctly. Karen was very patient dealing with my 91 year old mother and her prized Pershion cat that it removed all her stress and made the transition go very smooth. I will be using Your Vet Kihei Clinic for both of our cats needs. Thanks again Karen, great job. read more

Very friendly vet. Definitely love animals. Unlike other vets I have been to, I did not feel like they were trying to sell me on other services. Just examined my pet and provided the care she needed. Made recommendations on her diet and did not try and sell me on any special food. The price was comparable to other vets. Covid makes it a bit challenging as you have to wait outside. My dog didn't mind, she had plenty of thing to sniff. They do have cold water available with disposable cups and gloves available read more

Everything that Jerob has written about what transpired if totally fabricated. Though i agree with safety protocols, the vet did require 5 tests which is ludicrous for spaying. The test required were not 3 the 5 were -CBC -Chemistry panel -PT/INR -Liver bio -heart worm. The quoted amount for 2 tests was $360 but the receptionist said would increase once we figured the cost of additional testing. When I called and spoke to the receptionist I gave my direct line and asked for a call back. When I didn't receive one, I called again and asked for another call back. So I guess some time after they decided to send an email to a email that hasn't been used in 5 years. This is highly unprofessional. I would expect more from a vet that has 20 years of experience. Some things are understandable but what was quoted as $600ish quickly turned into $1100+. This is for a spaying $1100+ insane! All this clinic did was waste everyone's time by pulling the whole bait and switch routine. SCAMMERS... read more

I just want to thank Everyone at Kihei Vet Clinic, Dr Leaper, the vet techs and staff. Everyone is always kind and today my senior dog, Lucy, received special care for her treatment as she was especially nervous since it was her 3rd visit this week and they just made sure she was extra comfortable, so gentle, and I was so grateful for how it went. It gives me great comfort knowing how much they care. My 2 dogs have been going here for the last 3 years and we are there frequently for allergy shots, senior dog issues, etc. I have nothing but good things to say. I am baffled by a couple of these negative reviews but once you read the review it's quite clear the reviewer lives in a world of their own. Arguing about masks or demanding they take a walk-in?? Really?? read more

5 stars aren't enough! From taking care of my pets to being there to help us reunite with our daughter, spouse,and three kitties all the way from Toronto...and during a pandemic! Karen Hannie, I cannot ever repay you! Anyone needing to import a pet? This is the gal to get it done!! Thank you!!!! read more

We relocated to Kihei during the pandemic from Missouri, we spent total 20 hrs trying to get to Maui with a small dog and 4 year old. All I could worry about was We werent going to make it before the quarantine office closed. karen from Kihei Vet Office assured me that no matter what time we arrived she'd be there waiting for us at gate. She greeted us with a big smile and the process took a few minutes and we were done! If you ever want to get your pet to Maui, Karen at Kihei Vet is the person to call it will make you trip with your pet so much more relaxing and that friendly smile from Karen at the end of a long trip to greet you is worth it all!!!! read more

I just moved to Kihei this week from Seattle Washington with my rescue dog Fern. Fern is an anxious dog and im also an anxious person!!! This vet and Karen Hannie made this experience seamless. The process of bringing your animals over to the island can appear daunting, and karen made it soooooo easy on me. I'm looking forward to our vet appts and I highly recommend this veterinary clinic! read more

Still after 3 years I am still giving this place a 5 star review. Dr. Leaper is very up to date on his practices and has the animals best interest in mind. I am also a breeder and have sent lots of my puppies to him so that they could continue their future care here at this clinic. If you are looking for a new place to go, if I am a breeder and I am recommending i hope this means something to you. read more

The staff is amazing. If you want a place that loves and care about your animal this is the place.

The staff and techs and doctors at this wonderful place are completely amazing they are super busy , but realized that my 17 year old cat needed to be put down , they accommodated us as fast as possible and explained the whole process they were and are super empathetic . Nice place ! If get another animal I will go here !!! Thank you ! read more

I just moved to Maui and Dr. Hannie at Kīhei Vet Clinic handled my direct release at the airport of my fur babies. She was awesome, super friendly and kept me updated on what was going on as the plane was landing, and their progress to us at the agriculture center. I was super nervous but she calmed my fears and once the pets were with us she was super quick to do what was needed and loaded everything in the truck so we could get going to our new home. I plan to use Kīhei Vet Clinic for all my vet appointments going forward. Highly recommended! read more

SAUL of DAWGBARBER is Professional, experienced groomer. He used to groom show dogs in Los Angeles before coming to Maui. We are more than lucky have him here! Unlike other groomers he keeps the dogs about an hour, so they are not stuck in cages waiting on their turn. He is compassionate, excellent at his craft and is pleasant and professional to deal with. I brought my 2 poodles here several times ( after having an awful experience with Nichole at Pet Waggles, formally Salty dogs of Wailuku-read my review if curious) My poodles were returned happy, in about an hour. They looked fantastic and his prices were very reasonable. He is a particulary, experienced poodle groomer, among being superb at all dog breeds. I am so happy I found him working out of Dr. Kiehlers Kihei Veterinary Clinic in North Kihei( I also recommend him-see review) . The drive is only 15-25 minutes from Wailuku and 18 minutes from Kahului he is definitely worth the drive and you can do errands or walk on the beach until they are done. He also does boarding and doggie daycare. I haven't tried that but my friend recommends. Call 879-5777 for an appoitnment and contact me if you need more information. Thank you Saul for being such a great groomer to my 2 dogs! read more

As unfortunate as it is, it is rare to see someone humble and compassionate, the type of person that truly cares. Our animals are not just pets, they are a part of our family. Whether for a wellness visit or for a visit because someone isn't feeling well it helps so much to feel as if you matter and to feel as if the furry members of your family are important. I am so impressed by Kihei Veterinary Clinic and by the family feeling that surrounds it. read more

I am thankful for Kihei Vet Clinic this Thanksgiving 2019 for helping me bring my two cats home to Maui.
