My three dogs have had some good vets in their lifetime, but hands down, Dr Mayo is GREATNESS! My first fur baby had stem cell surgery and a huge tumor on his shoulder removed, my 2nd fur baby had his broken hip repaired and a growth in his ear removed, and my 3rd fur baby had a mass removed from under his foot and plasma injection in his elbow... all performed by Dr Mayo. Their speedy recovery was amazing. The first time I called Dr Mayo's office, he immediately returned my call. His prompt response and ability to squeeze my dog into surgery for his medical emergency won over my trust and gave me a great peace of mind. What blew my mind was his call back after surgery... it wasn't a receptionist calling me back to let me know surgery went well... it was the Doctor himself! I was able to ask whatever questions I had left post surgery. To top it off, the surgery bill did not break the bank... not even close. I obtained quotes from other vets, Dr Mayo' surgery bill was more manageable than the vet they had insurance thru. I am thankful for Dr Mayo's skill, precision, dedication and compassion for my boys. He is a miracle! To the person in the previous review, who met him on an airplane, your review is unhelpful. If you haven't actually done business with the doctor or staff, leaving a review isn't helpful--it can be harmful to pet owners like us who rely on honest feedback to find quality veterinary care. veterinarians experience higher rates of suicide compared to the general population and even other healthcare professions. Every time I've dealt with Dr Mayo he's been nothing but professional. read more

Mayo Veterinary Services - Zor - Veterinarians Near Me

Dr. Mayo did a liver biopsy on my Yorkshire terrier at Parker Way Veterinarian in Mount Vernon, WA (04/08/2021) His practice is in Lynnwood, WA. I did not hear from this man prior to or after my dogs procedure. I'm a nurse and was thinking a liver biopsy is a small incision however, that was NOT the case with my poor dog. He was ripped wide open. Blood all over when I picked him up. There was NO COMMUNICATION from this man. The discharge paperwork said my dog has SUTURES when he clearly has STAPLES. NO PAIN OR NAUSEA MEDICATIONS were prescribed. No follow up appointments were made. I have left 3 voicemails ((425) 967-7999), a review on their website, and an email to Dr. Mayo (info@jeffmayodvm.com). It has now been 4 DAYS and no return email or call. I had to go to the emergency hospital vet for my dog to get pain and nausea medications. DO NOT GO TO THIS MAN. DR. MAYO IN LYNNWOOD, WA The review below is true as well. This man has NO Respect or communication skills. read more

Dr Mayo and Rachel were AMAZING! My fur baby had a grass stuck in her nasal passage and we had taken her to VCA. VCA told us they couldn't help us and didn't even bother to look in her nose or throat. Just gave us antibiotics, told us it was prob a cold and said to call someone else if it continues. Called Dr Mayo a few days after and he was able to get us in the next day. Such a relief. Thank you Dr Mayo for being so kind!! Great vet, HIGH RECOMMEND. read more

I'm extremely happy with the Veterinary services that Dr. Mayo performed for my dog Cookie. Cookie was a rescue from out of the county. She had surgeries on both knees in this country that didn't work. She was a 3 legged dog most of the time. My fear was that the "good" knee would start failing from over use and then we would be looking into a wheelchair for her. I took her to the Surgery Center in Lynnwood where they quoted for 1 knee a price of $4500-6,000. This seemed extremely high, so a friend recommended that I call Dr. Mayo. From the moment I met with him he has been extremely prompt at getting back to me with any questions I had. The surgery was a huge success! The cost was $2,000 and worth every penny. read more

Well-intentioned, but overconfident - at least with regard to my English Bulldog's breathing problems. Winston passed away due to surgical complications. read more

Dr. Mayo has treated both our dogs for musculo-skeletal problems and they are doing great! Most recently treated was our 7 yer old pit-bull for elbow dysplasia and severe arthritis. Though we are still early in the process of stem cell, platelet rich plasma, and hyaluronic acid injections we are already seeing that 'Wil' is feeling less pain. Dr. Mayo's in-depth knowledge, state of the art skill and extensive experience is beyond that of my greatest expectations. I would not recommend anyone else other than Dr. Mayo for providing the absolute best care for your animal's complex musculo-skeletal needs. Thank you Dr. Mayo.

My smooth fox terrier, Flare, thought eating my tennis shoes insert was fun....until she became very ill. Her case ended up being complicated. Dr.Mayo checked on her daily...there was A LOT of texting going on ... Jeff even made house calls in a snow storm! He works with quality clinics in the area who are dedicated to providing superior care. Flare is doing well and I am very pleased. read more

Dr. Mayo did knee surgery on my dog less than a year ago. After paying almost $1500 i never heard from him again. There were no follow up visits or phone calls. The vet office he did the surgery out if couldnt be bothered to do follow up either . My dogs knee if worse off than it was before surgery and all im told is that happens. I have messaged dr.mayo many times with no response. This man is a fraud who just wants your money and couldnt care less about your pet. read more

Okay, let me start by saying I love my pets more than anything in the world so I was sick to my stomach for about a week after finding out that our pit bull, Layla, had torn BOTH ACL's and needed surgery. It didn't help when we found out how much it was going to cost and how long of a recovery it would take. My boyfriend took her to one clinic who wouldn't be able to perform the surgery for like 2 weeks out. Layla could barely walk, as you could imagine having two torn knees. I couldn't bear the thought of her being in pain for two more weeks, so we went to another place that was recommended by someone I was randomly talking to at the bank who's dog also had to have that surgery. The doctor I had originally been referred to was actually busy doing an emergency surgery at the time, so we were sent to Dr. Mayo. He travels from clinic to clinic- I think he said he works out of like 12 or something. Let me be honest, my first impression of the guy was that he was a total weirdo. He seemed extremely beyond unprofessional and went off topic about a million different things. BUT, he took one look at Layla and knew she had severely torn both ACL's (the other clinic thought she'd only torn one) and he was able to squeeze her in for surgery at a different clinic in 2 days. I went home and worried and worried and worried. First of all, I thought it was weird that the first place had missed the fact that she tore both ACL's, and after doing research, I thought it was weird that he wanted to repair both ACL's in the same surgery. Everything I read said that you should only do one, and let it heal and then get the other knee repaired. However, Layla had severely torn both and couldn't really walk on either, so he explained that if we only do one, her other knee would be shot and she'd be in a lot of pain because she wouldn't really be able to walk on either. So he suggested we do both at once, and we knew it would be a hard and long recovery, but since she is technically my boyfriend's dog, I let him make the decision and he wanted to do what Dr. Mayo recommended. Dr. Mayo performed TTA surgery on both Layla's knees the first week of June and also did stem cell work on her (he pulled stem cells from her belly and put them in her knees). She stayed at one of the clinics he works out of (Emerald City Emergency Hospital) for 3 nights, which was actually awesome because it is a 24 hour care facility so she had around the clock support. They were awesome there too - by the way - she got her own room and they gave us lots of updates and we could go see her anytime we wanted. Anyways, it's now been just over 2 full months and Layla is doing GREAT! I couldn't be more surprised and relieved by how fast she recovered. She isn't totally recovered yet, but for having two ACL's repaired she is doing great. She walks around just fine and is back to jumping up on the couch and being her crazy self. We haven't done any extensive exercise with her, just up to 30 minute walks and up hills to build the muscle back. Even in the very beginning, she used the support harness we got her great and ate well and everything! The only issue we ran into was that she started picking at her stitches so we had to keep a cone on her when we weren't around. At one point she actually tore the stitches completely out, but Dr Mayo had done such a great job that the wounds didn't even come apart. This was in like the first or beginning of the second week! Her stitches had already healed up! I'm not sure if it was the stem cell work or what, but Layla recovered unbelievably well and unbelievably fast. She was ahead of schedule for recovery for dogs that have had just ONE ACL repaired, and she had BOTH! Long story short, Dr. Mayo has an interesting personality and may not SEEM the most professional, but this guy really knows exactly what he's doing. Take my word for it, if this ever happened again (God forbid it does) I would definitely use Dr. Mayo again. Another note- I had posted about Layla needing surgery on Facebook to see if any of my friends had any recommendations of where to go/etc. A girl I know messaged me saying her dog had to have TPLO surgery and that she wanted to give me some advice. To my surprise, she used Dr. Mayo as well! She went on and on and on about how great of a job he did on her dog and how she would HIGHLY recommend him. This made me feel a million times better about my decision as well :) Ps- I'm happy to talk to anyone going through similar situations if anyone has questions! I was so stressed out trying to research all of this when it happened, knowing absolutely nothing about any of it. Message me if interested in more details! read more

If you're looking for a vet who 1) tries to fit you in between appointments as he's preparing for surgery and does a 10 min examination (particularly for hip dysplasia), 2) who forgets to call to remind you of your surgery appointment (he's a one-man show - and yes, I remembered the date of the surgery but given the money I'm paying would expect a call) 3) who, after the surgery is complete, doesn't even stick around to talk to you about how the surgery went or do any follow up calls 4) Who cheats you out of money when he said he was going to do procedures discussed (sending extra stem cells to Houston for later use) 5) who won't return emails to find out how we can get reuse the frozen stem cells (I don't think he even sent them to Houston to be frozen), 6) who handles his own business/calls and can't seem to manage his time or appointments - THEN THIS IS THE VET FOR YOU! However, given the fact, we paid $3500 for the stem cell therapy procedure for our dog Mally for her hips and shoulders, we would have expected a lot more. Furthermore, I did a lot of research on stem cell therapy prior to her surgery but a month later, have seen no improvement whatsoever, (I read that 80% of dogs take to it and 20% don't - so perhaps we're the 20%) . I had a prior appointment with Seattle Veterinary Associates in Kirkland, and decided to go with Mayo because he was a bit less expensive and because he could do the stem cells in one shot (same day, instead of sending them down to CA and then having to put her under again). While I don't doubt Dr. Mayo's expertise or skills, his veterinary customer service is something to be desired. OH - and when he gives you a "ball park" figure of $3000 - $3500 - you can expect it's going to be on the high end. He desperately needs a tech assistant to manage his schedule. He had one who I previously spoke with, but the day of the surgery found out his "assistant" was also his live-in girlfriend and she left. (she was very knowledgeable though). Also on the day of the surgery, we were told to bring Mally in at 9:00am at Greenwood Animal Hospital but when I called at 3:00 to see how Mally was doing thiking I was going to pick her up in an hour or so, was shocked to hear that she had just gone into surgery At 3:00pm I guess some "walkins'" drop in, and happened to be more important than Mally's surgery so he had to accommodate, hence we didn't pick her up until 6:30pm that night. read more

Dr. Mayo was amazing for our dog Jax. Spent over an hour on the initial examination after our vet recommended our 2 year old beagle get his luxating patella repaired and we needed to find an orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Mayo KNOWS HIS SH**, and fixed our beagle less than 1 week later and at an extremely reasonable price compared to what other "emergency/surgical clinics" were quoting us....which by the way, they were calling him in to do the surgery anyways! He called us and let us know how the surgery went right when our lil guy woke up and was extremely informative. We never felt rushed, was highly recommended by all the vets in the area, and even gave his personal cell number so we can call him at anytime with concerns regarding our pups recovery. We consider ourselves lucky we found Dr. Mayo. read more

I found Dr. Jeff Mayo on Google while researching TPLO surgery as my Chocolate Lab had a lame rear leg and the local vet said he would need to have TPLO. My local vet told me I would have to wait 3 weeks to get surgery done. That is a whole different conversation and review. I came upon Dr, Mayo's site while looking for a surgeon that could get my dog in immediately. Dr. Mayo not only answered my email at 10pm on a Saturday night, but he was able to get me in for surgery the following Tuesday. He was totally booked up but made sure he made time to get my lab taken care of. I also decided to go with the TTA surgery rather than the TPLO based on Dr. Mayo's recommendation. He explained the procedure to me thoroughly and also explained the TPLO to me and gave me pros and cons of each. He did not push me one way or the other. Based on the positive things I found about the TTA and the confidence that Dr. Mayo not only performed the procedure, but he also taught the procedure to other surgeons, I went with the TTA procedure. The morning of the surgery, I met with Dr. Mayo at the Emerald City Emergency Clinic (see my review on them) and he gave my dog an exam to confirm the injury and also found that his other tendon was at the very least ruptured, if not torn. This is when I received the bad news that poor Thumper would need two surgeries. My local vet completely missed this and even tried to dispute the fact when I informed them. Fast forward 6 weeks and Thumper has now had both of his TTA surgeries and is doing fantastic! He recovered quickly, as Dr. Mayo said he would from the first TTA. Thumper is recovering from surgery #2 right now, but already doing better than expected. I can't recommend Dr. Mayo enough. He was always responsive to my questions, even at odd times of day, and even with his busy schedule. He is a strait shooter and will give you his actual opinion with no fluff. I am in hopes our paths will never have to cross again, but in the event one of my dogs needs a surgical procedure, Dr. Mayo will be my first and only call. Thanks Dr. Mayo for everything! Thumper is doing wonderful! read more

I'm not sure if you remember my big, cranky, cat Stan and I probably should have written this letter sooner. You did two Femoral Head Osteotomies for him one in April 2014 and one in December 2014. I wanted to say thank you. When Stan first injured his hip I thought I had run out of options. It was heartbreaking to know that my baby kitty was in pain and there was nothing I could do about it. When I first called to get pricing for surgery it was so far out of reach that I thought I would have no other choice but to euthanize him. Your flexibility and reasonable prices are the reason Stanley is still with me. I won't ever find the words to eloquently express my appreciation for saving his life. I never expected his recovery to be as good as it is. It's hard to remember that he had major surgery on both of his hips. He is running and jumping better than he had the year before the surgery. read more

Dr. Mayo and Nicole are a great team. We wouldn't trust anyone else with our pets. They are very attentive and thorough. Prices are very reasonable for what they are capable of. read more

Jeff Mayo and his team have been excellent in supporting my dog (and me) during her surgery process. From helping me understand the choices for her surgery, sitting down with me during the day of exam, and providing clear, easy to use post-surgery instruction, I have been reassured the whole time that Dr.Mayo had a strong knowledge of how to care for my dog. My dog had a TTA by Dr.Mayo. After the surgery I was able to follow all the rehab instruction with videos and a week-by-week recovery guide. Dr.Mayo and his team have personally answered my continued questions when I need further guidance post-surgery to help me feel reassured my dog is on the right track to recovery. The reassurance has been so helpful to me so that I know my investment in her surgery is met by my continued care for my best friend. My dog is healing really well and I am so glad I choose Dr.Mayo for her surgery. read more

I am truly shocked not to see about 100 5 star reviews for Dr. Mayo. At first I was skeptical when I called him because I wasn't sure what to think about a mobile vet service, but after reading his website and all the accreditations he has and after speaking with him over the phone all of my doubts were erased. My dog, Lucy, is an 8 year old german shepard mix who tore her ACL in February 2014. Unfortunately she had to have two surgeries because she tore her meniscus a couple months after the ACL. Dr Mayo was not only the most affordable option, but the absolute friendliest and most qualified. He teaches surgeons around the world to do this exact surgery. I had multiple follow up appointments with doctor Mayo and he made it as convenient as possible for me to meet him so that he can check her out. He truly cares about your dog and his assistant is remarkable as well; a true dog lover. He was also very prompt in responding to the multiple emails that I sent him.....I mean a lot. Always very patient with me and told me exactly what I needed to do. I cannot over emphasize how impressed I was with Dr. Mayo. You are in truly safe and well qualified hands. read more
