the worst happen today, my parents were out of town and the lab we had for 13 years took a turn for…read morethe worst. Our family has used Waverly Vet Clinic since before I was born. This year we learned they transitioned to Avenue which was fine (at least we thought). I called the emergency number and was called back by a vet in Charles City. She let me know that there was nothing they could do also informed me that they haven't seen my parents dog in three years so again they would do nothing. I upset, let her know that my two dogs would no longer be needing their care, and hung up the phone. I was sitting with my parents dog, calling vet after vet asking for help, when I received a call back from Avenue. The woman on the phone stated she was a manager and wanted to talk about my "negative experience". This was 20 minutes after the last woman told me they haven't seen the pupper in three years so basically tough luck. Mind you I am sitting with a dying dog, and the "manager" just wanted to go through their new policies. She didn't call to try to help us at all or show any empathy or a solution just wanted to CYA. If you are considering this vet or currently using this vet, I recommend you look elsewhere. We were able to find a vet to come out and help our boy over the rainbow bridge, but not with Avenue. Their attitude, lack of empathy, and unprofessionalism made this experience so terrible. Just know that if it is not office hours they do not care at all. I will never let my puppers set foot in this place again. It's corporate now, so they wanted to let me know that if I could let our pet suffer until Tuesday (it's Sunday as I write this) that maybe someone could help him. Why even be a vet if you don't care about animals and are fine with them suffering for days?

So far, Compassionate Care has been absolutely fantastic - seriously - they are great. We care…read morevery much about our pets, want the best for them and are proactive with their health / vet care. Our family used another vet in town for over two decades, but they started to really decline. The vets wouldn't see patients anymore. Instead, unqualified "techs" pretending to be DVMs were doing all the exams, procedures, attempting to diagnose and treat "patients" - everything. We were paying for DVM care, but not getting it and our pets were painfully suffering the consequences. After many SERIOUS mistakes made by their "techs", that could have been disasterous-it became obvious that it was a matter of time before one of ours ended up seriously hurt, or WORSE. I was very worried about leaving that clinic after so many years of trusting them, but it was honestly the very BEST choice we could have made. Compassionate Care is absolutely awesome. They are responsive, attentive and the competency of the entire staff is clearly superior. One of our dogs had been suffering for years with ear infections and we had spent hundreds with the old vet clinic trying to get it cleared up - we were in every month with the same issue. Dr. K immediately identified the problem and for the first time in YEARS, that pooch is now happy, comfortable and has clean, HEALTHY ears - you can tell he has finally found relief. I just SOO wish I'd come here much, much sooner. Very happy with the CC team and we are all extremely appreciative of everything they do- and I would strongly recommend them.

I started going to Cedar Heights by chance. It was 4 days after I got my 8 week old puppy. She…read morestarted acting sick and lethargic. At that point, I hadn't even decided which vet I wanted her to regularly see yet. I was panicking because my normal vet office that I took my cats to was closed (it was a Sunday) and I didn't want to wait until Monday to take her in. Cedar Heights was the only clinic open that Sunday. My dog saw Dr. Belle and was treated within an hour of calling them. The price was very reasonable considering the emergency visit and my puppy was acting playful again by the end of that night. From that point on (2 years ago) I decided to use Cedar Heights pet clinic, and transferred my cats' records there from my old vet clinic. Now my dog primarily sees Dr. Schaul at Cedar Heights (I think Dr. Belle mainly works at Brookside, which is affiliated?) Dr. Schaul is so friendly and knowledgeable. He explains everything in simple, easy to understand terms and answers all my questions. Dr. Belle has answered all of my emergency calls since my dog was a puppy -- and she's gotten quite a few from me. She's patient and understanding of my worries. I never feel like she's bothered with my concerns. The rest of the staff at Cedar Heights is simply amazing. They greet us with a smile and always make a point to give my dog the attention she craves when new people are around. Overall, I would not go anywhere else. Their prices are reasonable, the staff and doctors are reliable, and everyone is so friendly. Couldn't ask for more.
