Great Healthcare for my dog Moose. I feel confident in these people looking after my best friend's life. I wish healthcare for humans could be this good. Cost effective to boot. 5/5.
I had a concern about my dog and called to book in an appointment. While the clinic was booking well into late September / early October (to be expected, given the pandemic) the technician on the phone was very knowledgeable and advised me to check around to get my pup seen sooner. She was perfectly professional, compassionate, and genuinely concerned about my dog's well being. While I didn't end up booking with Downtown Veterinary, if the level of service I recieved through a short phone call is any indication of the overall service and care provided here, I would recommend this clinic to anyone.
Awesome quality service for a great value. The docs are pragmatic, the vet techs and front desk are always friendly and very helpful. I find that they're very well priced for a downtown/metropolitan vet clinic. Stay independent!
One thing to be aware of if you drive is that the parking lot is pretty tight. If you can park on the street outside and walk over, you might have less of an issue. But it's free parking downtown so it's still not really that bad.
Excellent veterinary experience at the Downtown Veterinary Clinic. Our Pug always receives the best treatment possible from the vet and the assistants. Every time I call in for an appointment I can book in quickly. They offer email reminders on keeping your pet up to date on vaccinations. And best of all prices are definitely better than other vets that I have used in Victoria.
Excellent veterinarians, very knowledgeable with Frenchies. Always able to get us in when we need, my dogs actually enjoy visiting 🐶
Gentle with my dog, thorough, and happy to explain things. He tugs me toward the door like I'm taking him to the park, which is enough endorsement for me.
Exceptional staff, very prepared!they were amazing with our cats!
We took our dog in to have her checked out due to a potential disc issue in her back. The vet answered all of our questions and even followed up with an email the next day to see how our pup was doing. As this was our first real issue with a pet, the service was above and beyond our expectations and really helped put our minds at ease.
I've had the best veterinary experience. Took my dog in with a mystery illness. The care he received was amazing. Doctor and Staff were super friendly and empathetic.
Like it so far
Just started going, but everyone is very nice and the prices are acceptable
Dr. Degi is an incredible doctor. It's not surprising that his staff is also top-notch. If he wants to order blood and / or other tests for your pet - please know he does not do it lightly. Follow his advice.
He worked closely with us when our cat had an acute attack of pancreatitis; our kitty would have died without his guidance. Dr. Degi and I communicated almost daily to discuss kitty's status and what to do, and he would answer questions and listen to what I had to say. Weeks after the crisis, I received an email from Dr. Degi asking how kitty was doing - talk about follow-up! I sent a happy report back to him.
We also have a semi-feral cat who loves our daughter, but absolutely hates all other humans and cats. She has a mean streak and will lash out with her claws and teeth if we try to pet her, or even if we just walk by. I told Dr. Degi, "You get 2 minutes with her, at most, then she will start hissing and get violent" because this is what she's done with 2 vets before him. Dr. Degi spoke to her and stroked her, and she changed into this calm sweet cat who was rubbing all over him. She didn't want to leave him. Now she loves our daughter *and* Dr. Degi (but that's it).
I also appreciate that testing is done right there, at the office. It is difficult to pack up and go to yet another hospital / doctor to have x-rays or urine samples taken. One office visit here and it's all taken care of.
Dr. Degi is a caring, wonderful doctor for your furry family members. It took me 12 years living here to find such a great vet. I wish all the cats in my life had had such great medical care.
Love the staff, and love the quality of care I received there. My shiba in has a lot of allergies which were addressed by the staff. Very comforting and helpful!
Best vet you could possibly ask for. Every staff member is welcoming, understanding and patient - they all go above and beyond in every way. I never experienced any issues bringing my cat in last minute if I had to, and I felt comfortable leaving my cat with them for as long as needed. I was in the clinic quite frequently caring for a cat, who fell in love with Dr. Degi and his staff. They are truly an incredible team and are reliable, consistent, and extremely reasonable with everything right up to costs. I could never thank them enough for their help and support.
