Guzman and Garza have performed surgery on our dogs, and Dr. Gowens has seen us for routine check ups. TWICE this team has come together to save two of our dog's lives. Some of my favorite things about them: - They aren't judgmental & won't make you feel worse than you already do. When our pups are sick or injured, we immediately go to feeling guilty and remorseful. The entire staff has great "bedside" manner and will help you find a solution vs. lecturing you. - They are fairly priced. Taking your pup to the vet can be costly, no matter where you go. Kings Highway isn't a discount vet, but they won't add on unnecessary items to your bill or make decisions without running the price tag by you. - They are flexible. Urgent issue? I've never had a problem calling, telling my story, and getting seen same day, if something is really wrong. All in all, Kings Highway is an amazing place and I don't think we're going to stop taking our dogs there, even though we've moved to San Antonio. THANK YOU!

My pets…read morehealth has always been the responsibility of my parent, but I have recently been living independently and decided to take initiative to ensure I get regular check ups for my cat. I was nervous and unsure of what to expect but the staff were all extremely welcoming and nice, and informed me of everything they were doing and confirmed with me before doing any tests. My only dissatisfaction is upon informing me my cat has gingivitis, the only solution they offered was a $1400 surgical procedure. I was not informed of any alternative treatments, or any measures I can take that could help my cat other than an major surgery. Other than that, they were all amazing and kind. Would recommend and will be going back!! :)

Was bringing in my cats for a weigh and medication, unfortunately my kitty poo'd himself and it got into his fur just before arriving. I asked for some supplies to clean him up with (I didn't ask them to clean him for me just like a dab of shampoo and a spray bottle or something to clean it up) and after some begging they gave me 5 sheets of paper towel... Mind you I wasn't just coming off the street I had been with them for 2 years, called ahead and paid over $200 for medicine today. If you know anything about cats they are absolute clean freaks and already stressed out enough being outside of the house and these people couldn't care in the slightest that he's covered in his own filth. Then they had the audacity to say well if you had an exam appointment we'd be happy to clean him up for you! Real good that does me plus I wasn't even asking them to clean him up I had zero problem doing it myself. If that doesn't scream "I don't care about your animals" then I don't know what does. Front office has always been rude and demeaning but the saving grace has always been that the actual vet was nice and knowledgeable. Not looking forward to vet shopping but I'll be damned if I ever go back here.

We didn't get seen again until almost 3pm. It was torture. My dog laying on my lap, staring up into my eyes, I'd made my peace of letting her go, but not this way. Not waiting almost 90 minutes for a 3 minute procedure. My son went out multiple times to ask, please put my mom out of this misery. They said, I'm sorry, the vet has a really difficult case right now. And I'm thinking, more difficult than death? Then to top it, a woman comes in with the bill, $550 ?!?, which my son paid. Finally the vet came in and ended it. I have nothing bad to say against the vets, but this I an awfully run business. Please avoid at all cost.

They are so accommodating and fairly priced. We recently lost Kilo to bone cancer and we had Dr. Wahl walk us through the very hard and emotional process. She was so amazing guiding us while being the best advocate for Kilo and what's best for him. The whole team was incredibly helpful and very empathic during this hard time. My 3 young sons wanted to be there for the process and the team were so helpful with providing snacks & coloring and activities to preoccupy my kiddos. I felt so supported even at this difficult moment. They also sent sympathy cards from the team with his sweet paw prints and a heart felt notes after his passing. I highly recommend Dr. Wahl and everyone on the team. The service went beyond just doing their job- it was heartfelt and sincere. A place that will look after you and your pet when life gets tough.

I am extremely disappointed with how Bastrop Veterinary Hospital handled my dog's appointment…read moretoday. My dog is a Great Dane with advanced dilated cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and congestive heart failure. He is essentially on hospice care and takes more than 30 medications a day. Because of his severe heart condition, his cardiologist has instructed that he cannot be vaccinated due to the risk to his heart. Bastrop Veterinary Hospital already knows this. My dog has been treated there before, including earlier this year when they performed tests that were ordered by his cardiologist. They have our account, his medical history, and all of this information on file. I scheduled a nail trim appointment because my dog is in pain from overgrown nails and he will not allow me to trim them at home. I explained his medical condition in the appointment notes and that he is reactive and would need to be handled carefully. Before the appointment, the clinic even called and left a voicemail reminding me to give him anxiety medication before coming in. I still had trazodone from a previous visit, so I medicated him 90 minutes before the appointment exactly as instructed. Getting him to the clinic is not easy. Car rides are extremely stressful for him because of his advanced heart disease. I specifically chose this clinic because it is close to my home and minimizes that stress. When we arrived, I told them I would wait in the car because he does not do well around other dogs. They initially agreed. However, they then brought me inside and had me wait in the lobby anyway while they prepared a room, which immediately put him into a stressful situation I had asked to avoid. When they finally took him to the back, I placed a muzzle on him and tightened it to make sure he could not get it off so that staff would be safe. They told me it would only take a moment. Six minutes later, someone came out with a clipboard and told me they could not perform the nail trim because he is not vaccinated. This was shocking and extremely frustrating. They already knew my dog's medical history. They had treated him previously without vaccinations because of his severe heart condition. They had just called me beforehand to ensure he was medicated for the visit. Yet no one bothered to mention that they would refuse treatment once I arrived. Instead, they let me go through the process of medicating a critically ill dog, putting him through the stress of a car ride, muzzling him, and waiting, only to tell me after the fact that they wouldn't help him. My dog is in pain because his nails cannot be trimmed safely at home, which is exactly why I brought him to professionals. If the clinic had simply called ahead of time and said they could not perform the service, that would have been understandable. Instead, they put a very sick dog through unnecessary stress and wasted our time. It was incredibly disappointing and frankly unacceptable.

They said nothing was wrong with him, he looks great, no issues every single time. He ended up passing away due to a tumor in his stomach that another vet found. Our other vet stated that it appears that it had been in his stomach for a long time. My poor sick boy was puking and pooping bl**d all over when I took him to Animal Medical Center. They gave us some antibiotics and told us everything will be fine. On our last visit to them, they stated that they marked their fecal test as done, but said they must have "misplaced it" and that the test was never done. Rest in peace my little Mika :( Additionally, the wait times here are insanely long, no matter how long you have been a patient. Multiple times, over the last 10 years or so, my pet and I have had to wait well over an hour to be seen. Having an appointment does not matter to these people. I wrote a 1 star review in the past and the called my MOTHER. Their reasoning for calling my mother was that she is the account owner for our pets, stating they know their patients so well that they know who is leaving a review. My mother was harassed by these people for days, receiving at least 3 phone calls from someone that works here regarding MY review. They lied and said my mother was happy with their services. My mother's name is on the account, however I am the one that takes our pets to their appointments. If they know us so well, they should have known that my mother is not the one who takes them to the vet. It is extremely unprofessional to harass my mother regarding MY review. My mother was NOT happy with their services either. This establishment sent an urgent letter to MY SISTER, not OUR address, to fire us as a client, even though we had already cancelled everything with them and told them we would not be returning. They have admitted that they forgot about my pets and me while we were sitting right in their lobby. Leave a bad review and they'll call your mom. What a horrible, horrible experience. DO NOT TRUST THIS PLACE. They will report and remove your Google review if you leave a 1 star.

Dr. Burke, Dr. Stange, and staff offer an extraordinarily high level of medical care & caring, and I feel so fortunate to have them in the local area. I had been with my previous Vets for a VERY long time- they couldn't have been better with me or my pets, but after hearing great things about Cornerstone from a professional dog handler/breeder and from another dog lover like myself, I decided to give them a try when we adopted a new puppy. I was so blown away by the entire process - from initial appointment, to the length of time he spent with my new pup, the technician's expertise, follow-up phone calls, etc..., that I transferred my 3 other dogs from my prior vet to Cornerstone. Since then, I've had dogs in for their yearly checkup AND two emergency situations - a possible slipped disc and severe anaphylactic reaction - with each visit I've been more impressed. There has not been a single issue that could be improved upon. Spotlessly clean clinic, top of the line and up to date equipment, appointments run on time, PLUS their fees are beyond reasonable. Awesome place all around.
