Client Testimonials
We're proud to share some of the remarkable stories of our clients and the compassionate care we've provided. Here's what some of our clients have said about their experiences:
- "We had a recent experience at a different vet's office where they had made me feel like I was overreacting to my dog's health, but then my dog ended up passing just over 24 hours later. I got a new puppy recently and decided to take her here to see Dr. Polk as I remembered him from years ago diagnosing and treating one of my mother's dogs with Lupus with extreme care. We just finished our puppy series of shots with him last week and I cannot recommend him enough. He has been kind and patient, taking the time to answer all of my questions and keep me at ease with the new puppy."
- "We are from South Carolina, and are both here in Lubbock finishing up school. We looked for the best vet in town when we first got our corgi puppy last year, and we couldn't have made a better decision. Our poor pup had to have hernia surgery and they did an excellent job and we have had no further problems."
- "My puppy afrodita has went twice for medical emergency, and they were the only vet in Lubbock that would take her in ASAP! They are great with animals, great staff and dr.s. thankyou!"
