Dr. Casey Talbot is by far the worst Vet I have ever even heard of. He was not even my pets actual…read moredoctor at the clinic, I was told to call back when the prescription ran out, I called and asked what the next steps would be and simply asked the front desk why we would need another examination if one was conduced last time. I got no response, just immediately placed on hold until Dr. Talbot who isn't even our doctor, answered completely unprofessionally and told me if I had questions about why another exam would be needed, that he would then be refusing my services and also wouldn't let me speak to another doctor or just use our Original doctor when she returned from vacation. Forcing myself and my sick dog to have to start all over on a search for another vet. A truly sick person and even worse Vet.

Years ago I had this wonderful doctor and assistant come help send my dog to heaven. They are…read morepatient and very compassionate. I'm sure she'll remember my Charlie. A 13 year old coonhound mix born with a huge lump/bone on the top of his head. I fed Char Char his peanut butter and then waited for his angels.

It all happened so fast. Fine on Monday, Tuesday felt large irregular hard lump, made vet…read moreappointment for tomorrow. Wednesday lump was mushy and large. Dr Robinson was pretty sure it was cancer but when the needle aspirant went onto glass slide it looked like pus. Under microscope saw only a few bacteria, otherwise just dead WBCs. Home with antibiotic and anti inflammatory. She's had no fever. Thursday lump is much bigger. Chest X-rays ruled out pneumonia or some such. Home with another antibiotic. Friday she had a loud swallow, I knew that ment breathing would be next. Decided with Dr. Robinson to go ahead with surgical investigation and lance it somewhere. Dr Robinson put BB under but had to use a much smaller tube for intubation than with dental last year. When she saw the tonsil, it was much bigger on the inside, it was obvious cancer. Weighing quality of life--being newly deaf, blind in one eye, foggy in the other, aching with joint pains, or left to die trying to breathe?!!--Oh, no. We went in to say goodbye, then my BB went on to sleep on some really good drugs. Dr. Robinson was near tears, very tender and caring, still made it no easier. It all happened so fast. It was so hard. My little Black Beauty Tomato is much happier now, she can see with both eyes, hear as good as ever, and is running easy-fast keeping up with her siblings she just met!!! ‍ All the staff at Healing Paws Veterinary Hospital were so kind dealing with us all week. Drs Robinson, Beatty, and McFarland were so gentle and supportive with 'BB'. So respectful and kind. I can't say enough. Thank you, thank you.

Stay far away from this clinic. Sterilization is not done properly during dental procedures. My dog…read morewas diagnosed with phlebitis from the IV test at a new clinic. I went to healing paws per a recommendation from a friend. The phlebitis occurred during a dental cleaning (that Dr Betty pushed hard for income). Initially went in for a broken tooth which she decided not to pull. I received care from a better vet in a different zip code and I'm so glad I did. My dog has a serious infection caused by incompetence from a vet clinic who will gladly fire you as a client once they're under fire with the law. Be cautious.

It is easy to make appointments here, and the office keeps us up to date on what our animals are…read moredue for: vaccines, etc. Also, they are very understanding when you have trouble getting large dogs to their appointments!  (Let's just say our Great Dane had issues.) Their boarding services are wonderful and very reasonably priced. We felt very comfortable having them take care of our Great Dane after he got neutered knowing he would receive his medication on time and eat quality food. Now to the vet: Dr. Scott Peters has been our family veterinarian for close to two decades. He's maintained the health of our donkeys, horse, dogs, and cats (yes, it gets noisy sometimes out here!). He saw us thru two donkey pregnancies, has a great after-hour emergency service (which we have used more than once), and helped us keep the feral cat population down in our area by spraying/neutering the ferals my mom would trap and bring in (I think most vets would have told her that was crazy to do). If you need veterinarian services in the Ava area, I recommend the Animal Clinic of Ava.

He is very knowledgeable, caring and calming (to us) and always takes as much time as we need to understand everything that is going on.
