I recently took my female cat in for a wellness exam and vaccinations. Since she was a stray and hanging out in our neighborhood, I asked if Dr. Sargent could let me know how old she was and told him I didn't want her getting pregnant. He did a quick exam, unable to look at her teeth or determine her age but discussed his $500 fee for the spay surgery. The next day I made an appointment with another vet to get the spay surgery for $100. After dropping her off for the surgery, I was called and informed she had a green tattoo on her stomach which is a permanent maker that notifies all veterinarians and shelters that this cat has already had its spay surgery. I am disappointed this veterinarian did not take the time to check for the marking which is a standard set by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians. read more

Mountain View Veterinary Clinic - Tinker - Veterinarians Near Me - Mount Vernon, Washington

THE DOCTOR SAID THE CAT WENT OUT MY HOUSE IT IS MY FAULT. Also, when they gave me back my cat, and my cat was pee inside the case, they did not help me to clean up it. When I asked them to clean up the pee, they said they will not clean up it because they did not charge me the cleanup fee. Therefore, They will not will cleanup it. Even though before they gave me back my cat, and my cat was pee inside the case. Before you go there, plz be careful and plz thinking about that. I just want to tell you guys when your cat has pregnancy plz don't go to this clinic because the doctor is irresponsible. the story is my cat has pregnancy on June first might be I am not sure because I lost my cat in May, and I find her on June first, and at this time she did not have any signs of pregnancy. However, I was worry about that. Therefore, I sent her to this clinic on June 9. and I told the doctor my cat went out a month. Therefore, can you help me to check does she have a pregnancy? The first time the doctor said yes she has a pregnancy, but the kitty was too small. Therefore, he can not see how many inside. he said you might have to do again the X-ray. That I can understand because the kitty was too small. The second time after the doctor did the X-ray and somethings for my cat, he said she will birth the baby after 2 weeks. It should be on July 6. On July 8, my cat did not birth the baby yet, and I called the clinic and asked does she ok because the doctor said the cat should be birth the baby on the last two ago, and they told me waited until July 10. On July 10, the cat is still not birth baby yet, and I called the clinic again. At this time they told me the doctor said should be birth to the baby on July 20 to 21. Unfortunately, on this day my cat is still not birth to the baby yet. I called the clinic again, and they told me the doctor said he is don't know when the cat will be birth baby. Also, they said the doctor recommend your cat do the X-ray and check again. I said how can the doctor said he doesn't know when the birth baby. they just said up to you to do the X-ray and check again. I said ok because I don't want my cat to have any problems, and I don't want my cat will die. I can only compromise. Today(24/7/2020) after the doctor did the X-ray and check for my cat, he just said the kitty still alive. I asked him do you know she still will take how long to birth baby. He said he don't know. I said do you know how many time did the cat do the X-ray, and he said twice. I said she did the third time including this time. he was still debate. I said do you remember the first time the kitty was too small, therefore, you can not count how many inside the cat. At this time, he did not say something. he kept going to say I don't know when the cat will be birth baby. I said I do not respect the doctor will say that. He said how can I know when the cat will be birth baby because you did not give me the exact day when she is on the first day have the pregnancy. Therefore, I can not tell you when she is birth baby. I said when your first time to see her, you still can not know because you said the kitty was too small, therefore, you can not count how many inside the cat. I don't think how far between the first the pregnancy. Suddenly, he was pissed off and say it was your fault, you should not let your cat go outside, and I just can tell you when your cat has a pregnancy, she will between 60 to 70 to birth baby. I said google say that either. I sent the cat to the clinic because I want to know when the cat will be birth baby. He said If you upset with that you can send her to the other clinic. Also, when they gave me back my cat, and my cat was pee inside the case, they did not help me to clean up it. When I asked them to clean up the pee, they said they will not clean up it because they did not charge me the cleanup fee. Therefore, They will not will cleanup it. Even though before they gave me back my cat, and my cat was pee inside the case. when I said I will put it to the internet, the guy suddenly came off and help me to clean up. read more

See all

Mountain View Vet in Mount Vernon did an excellent job caring for my 12 year old dog. Several other vets in the area were booked out 1-3 weeks. Mountain View allows a few "emergency appointments" per day. Thank goodness we took this option ASAP, as our older dog ended up having a large mass in his paw. The Dr. at Mountain View was very efficient and communicated clearly our options and his recommendation. Our dog needed his toe removed ASAP due to the growing mass, and the Mountain View team did an excellent job caring for him and communicating with us throughout the process of surgery and recovery. I will continue to use them for future vet needs, and recommend them for urgent situations. read more

love the vet and vet techs. however their front staff is very disorganized. if you call in, you will be put on hold and forgot about. they definitely need to revamp their office help. read more

I love this vet! I moved to Mount Vernon 2 years ago and had to find a new local vet as I had a dog with epilepsy. The staff is consistently the same and the vets are awesome and really take their time with you! Sadly my two corgis passed and now they're caring for my new puppy! They're always able to fit me in for "emergencies" which I really appreciate. I also feel like their prices are very fair read more

We used to love this place and respect them very much but as time has passed, they have changed and not for the good. They charge soooo much more compared to before, they make you wait a lot longer to get in than before and Dr. Sargent hasn't been the same for a few years with us at least. The last straw was losing my dog earlier than we would have if Dr. Sargent would not have dismissed what I was telling him about my dog's symptoms. My dog passed because of it. Don't get me wrong I am grateful for what he has done for us in the past, but we just don't feel we can trust them with our fur babies anymore. To many negatives for us to ignore. My dog had many symptoms of heart failure, the same as his nephew who had heart failure and died from it a while before him. So I let Dr. Sargent know but I don't know why he didn't respond or do any test knowing this but there you go. I tried to get him back in after he got worse, but they had a very long waiting time and he died. There is more good and bad ofc but still we won't be going there anymore. read more

Dr. Ken Baber is by far the best veterinarian ever. He is calm, patient and really listens to pet owners. He is compassionate and honest. All Skagitonians should take their pets to Dr. Baber. read more

5 star exemplary service, kindness, responsiveness, and all other 'ness's. We've utilized just about every vet in the surrounding area and found this one to be the best. Prices are also very reasonable. The grounds surrounding the building are even inviting. Very clean and kept up. The service is fast and on time. Walk ins for nail clipping and butt squeezing are welcome and the least expensive. Fast and courteous, this is our go to place for vet care! read more

I have always taken my pets to Mountain View Vet Clinic. Ken Baber, the origin veterinarian and owner, was like part of my family. Many dogs and cats saw their time in the honest, caring and affordable hands of Dr. Baber and his friendly staff. Fast forward a couple years... I take my dog back for an annual checkup, shots and flea meds as well as some usually cheap steroids for his autoimmune disease. I also take my two kittens for the usual shots, deworming and flea meds. Nothing special. Just the usual routine vet checkup for all three animals. I was approached by staff to consider purchasing TWO $500 cat plans for my kittens, which would cover the next round of shots as well as neuters. Although in the end this may be more affordable at their clinic than paying for each service individually, I declined. Christmas was around the corner, so there was no way I could drop a grand on two free kittens (who could very likely get eaten by a coyote the next day!). After taking care of all three pets in their ROUTINE appointments, I was absolutely shocked to get a bill for $750. Jaw dropped, I paid the bill and walked away, vowing to never return to that slimy vet clinic that would take that much money from me for simple pet services. To illustrate a comparable economic situation, past owner/vet Dr. Baber and his friendly staff kept my same dog with the autoimmune disease for a whole week 3 years back when he had an infection in his leg that burst and needed serious surgery, anesthesia, suturing, binding and immobility in order to heal. We were so worried about the price tag for all of this, and Dr. Baber understood our worries. He was able to provide all of those medical services for only $800. Yes, basically the same price that today will only get you some shots, parasite meds, and a vial of steroids for your dog and kitties. Unbelievable. I encourage you to find some place more affordable. Although pets are super special to us, their medical bills should not be more expensive than services for humans. read more

I took a rescue bearded dragon there and they were great with her. The Dr read my notes (we obviously couldn't go in because of Covid) and came out and answered all my questions. He did surgery and took excellent care of her. I wouldn't hesitate to take her back if she needed. read more

This clinic is amazing! They have excellent customer service, Dr Sargent is incredibly knowledgeable and patient, and their service despite COVID still feels very personal and worth the price! I admit I'm not the easiest client to deal with because I have worked in vet clinics and have dedicated the past 7yrs to training dogs so I'm knowledgeable enough to be difficult and have really high standards. I also have 4 Australian Cattle Dogs so they themselves aren't always the best patients as they are very sensitive and quirky about strangers handling them. Dr Sargent (and the vet assistants/techs) approached them with calm confidence which was so nice because I've had people in the past act skittish and fearful, expecting them to be nippy, which has caused my sensitive dogs to be nervous. I know the breed can be difficult in a vet clinic setting (I've experienced it during my time as a vet assistant) so I don't blame people for being cautious but it has negatively effected my dogs experience at the clinic but that's a thing of the past now that we found Mountain View! If you are passionate about your pets emotional well being and overall health, you have got to try this vet! read more

Dr Baber is the greatest. He is so kind and caring, Lulu has been seeing him for 7 years now. Even when we lived in Seattle we would drive to Mt Vernon because he is worth it. She has been there for 2 surgeries and an infection that kept her overnight for 4 days. Knowing how precious she is to me, he called each day with updates. The costs at the clinic are probably 1/2 price of what you may pay in a big city. A 4 day stay with multiple IV's was less than $400. I would recommend him to anyone, a truly loving and genuine Vet. read more

My husband and I took our cats here once (only because our cats tend to be quite healthy). Our experience was nothing short of perfect. Out of all of the vets that I have ever met, I think Dr. Baber is by far the most knowledgeable and obviously experienced. He really made us feel welcome because he truly listened to our concerns and helped us understand. I felt like I was talking to a family friend or neighbor. He does not have a condescending tone whatsoever either. While I would not say that he is the cheapest vet, if you are looking for quality and professionalism, look no further. I would rather pay a little more and know that my animals are healthy and happy. I highly recommend him and his clinic. read more

Thank you Dr Baber and the rest of the staff at Mountain View. We drove from Kirkland to have a laparoscopic spay on our goldendoodle. Dr Barber gave us a tour of the facility and gave us a very detailed explanation of the procedure along with risks and benefits associated with this surgery. The incisions healed up wonderfully and the office staff called the next day to ensure our puppy was back to her usual self. I would recommended this vet to everyone looking for laparoscopic spay or all other care. The only down side I can see is that we cannot make Dr Baber our regular vet due to our distance! read more

We just had a really good experience at Mtn View Vererinary Clinic. The doctor and staff obviously care al lot about their patients. We were refered to Dr Baber because our 15 year old cat (TW) needed specialized care. I think the advice we got concerning care for our elderly cat was right on. Dr Baber and his staff did surgery to remove an ugly skin cancer tumor, TW is now healing, and I think she will have several happy years thanks to them and their care. read more

Dr. Baber went above and beyond the call of duty in the care for our pet. His prices are very reasonable which leads me to believe that he is in his trade more for the love of the animal than for the money. He is an excellent diagnostician and offered alternatives for the treatment of our dog. We opted for surgery, and Dr. Baber took and x-ray for his own peace of mind that he did not charge us for because it was not quoted in the price. The quality of care was great and he offered advice on what to look out for in our specific breed of dog. read more

I've seen a friend's pet die in an emergency. Dr. Baber stayed an hour past closing so he could let the family take the time they needed to grieve. He repaired my dog's ACL at half the cost a friend paid elsewhere, and did it with such skill the dog was up and around quicker than hers. Dr. Baber is as honest as they come and his gentle expertise is a real comfort. I would trust him without hesitation. The reviewer who criticized him must be unreasonable, because he has gone well beyond the call of duty for us and our pets for almost 20 years and even when I call him with a dumb question he is an unfailingly kind professional. read more

Dr Baber is great with my dogs! I can always make a prompt appointment, and he never tries to sell me anything I don't need. I would trust Baber with my children :P read more

Dr. Baber and staff are really good and caring. I have 5 cats and 2 dogs that they take care of. I used a woman Vet there one time when he wasn't there. She did not cure my cat and paid for medicine that did not work. I had to go to Baber when he was there and he gave me the right medicine and she was cured. Would not go to anybody but Baber.. He is kind and very good at his diagnosis and curing the problem. I gave it a 4 star instead of a 5 because of that one time with that different vet that was there. read more

We have been taking our dogs to Dr. B. for the past 6 years, the cat for another 10 yrs. prior. I have used several vets in the past, even the emergency vet clinic. I have to say I have very much liked Dr. Baber's bedside manner! If he isn't familiar immediately with something, he finds out and calls you. He is calm, patient. I never feel rushed or like I'm on the clock. He makes sure your questions are answered before you leave. The only thing I wish is that his hours were more expanded...we have had a few emergency situations, like on a Saturday, and we had to take our dog to another vet who was opened. Since Dr. Baber's practice is just him alone, I do understand his hours and will continue to use him. read more

I've been a client of this clinic for about ten years. Dr. Baber is compassionate, kind, and is an excellent vet. Everyone who works for him is top notch. Dr. Baber is very good about taking the time to explain things in a way that non professionals can understand. He is honest and wants to make sure you are well informed. I recently had my cat in for surgery to remove a tumor from her small intestine. While he was explaining what he had done and what her recovery would be like, he held her in his arms, petted her and even kissed the top of her head. He really cares. That kind of caring and concern means a lot to me. My cat loves him, even after major surgery. I trust him, and I know my pets are in good hands with Dr. Baber. Another thing I appreciate about this clinic is the adoption suite built into the corner of the lobby to showcase healthy adoptable cats. Many cats have found wonderful homes because of that kindness. read more

vet super rude and unwilling to assist with transferring pet to Hawaii - terrible attitude over the phone - I am shocked someone can stay in business who has little passion for his line of work read more

Had a bad experience with this clinic. I dont think they have the pets wellfare at heart, lack compassion for the owner and pets and its all about the money. After knee surgery which cost close to $3000 they gave some credit card option which didnt work out so subsequently after they wouldnt give me dog back i made every effort to come up with the money which i did through a lot of work and putting a lot of people out to help me. There stance in the midst of this was to detain my dog who would have obviously been in stress with the sugery and is little over 1 year old probably anxious and distressed not being able to see her. My wife was very upset but they just smiled and and patronized me that you should have the money offering no solution or advice to a visibly distressed dog owner as they become part of your family. The girl technician seemed to find it very funny and was just smiling. After getting the funds put in my bank from work through check and showing them the transaction i returned to give them the check we again had problems the lady at the front desk didnt have the intellectual capacity to process that when someone gives you a check it takes a day or two to show up to be available in your account but instead of taking my check she just replied im sorry about 10 times to a distressed dog owner and prevented me from having or even seeing my dog. Detaining the dog without my will. Venting my frustration and after being patronized again by an arrogant vet they made me get a cashiers check which i had to get. They treated me appaulingly and were not sensitive to us at all. Couldnt care less about the dog or us just wanted there money and were embarrasing themselves through it. After they got there money there was no apology for sending me everywhere not trusting me. Money grabbing Vet with a horrible staff. Stay away read more
