The Corner Vet

Great hours! Incredible care and staff! Reasonable rates for procedures and appointments! We LOVE Dr. A and her staff! Our boy started having seizures last year, and Dr. A has been so helpful in guiding us through this process. She is knowledgeable, professional and easy to communicate with. Haley at the front desk is always such a welcoming, warm presence and I love that she knows who our baby is! Every tech we’ve interacted with has been wonderful and patient, especially given the fact that our boy is always a little nervous in the vet’s office. We feel like we are getting personalized, quality care for our pup! This seizure stuff has been scary and anxiety inducing but having a great care team working with us has meant the world.

I’ve had a very good experience with this vet. The staff were non judgmental and very patient with me as I decided my elderly cat needed to be put down. I really appreciated the card they sent me afterwards as well signed by all the staff. It was a very difficult decision and the Corner Vet made the process go as well as it could have. Thank you

My cats were regular clients at The Corner Vet for the past 5 years, especially my older one needing frequent bloodwork. They were always flexible with appointments, able to fit us in quickly with a drop-off if their office visits were booked. Dr. Ahlquist was great - would call each time to walk through bloodwork/test results and took the time to answer any/all questions - I never felt rushed with her in exams or on the phone. They do seem to cycle vet techs frequently, but Dr. A and the receptionist have been there awhile. Prices jumped a lot for more basic services, but I doubt anyone at the office level has a say in that - just hope the majority of the increase goes to giving office staff raises. Regarding prices, I was always given a full written estimate before any services were provided so there were no surprises. They always explained the recommended plan, but never made me feel like a bad pet parent for declining a service or further expensive testing. Sadly I had to move out of state and I'm still trying to find a new vet I like as much as CV. Big thank you to all the staff for taking such good care of my cats over the past few years!

We were delightfully surprised by the expertise at this vet clinic. We have a dog that became very afraid of vet visits after the pandemic and we had been having a very tough time getting blood samples from him. The team at the corner vet took every step needed to comfort Duke and get the job done. They absolutely blew away my expectations. One of the best things of our visits was that they recommended a local pharmacy (Heights-Studewood on 11th street) for our pet med needs. Thanks for supporting other local businesses

The staff at this veterinary office is very nice. They are kind, patient, great with the pets, and have lovely personalities. Because they are lovely to talk to, I have continued bringing my dog here despite really inconsistent care. But at this point, niceness isn't enough and I need a vet for my dog that takes his health seriously. I've been bringing him in for 3 years at this location and often find myself leaving disappointed and frustrated that they don't seem to be able to provide basic timely care. An example is 2 years ago I brought him in for x-rays because he seemed to be in more pain than normal. Scout is a senior dog with arthritis who was injured before I adopted him. He has poorly healed fractures in his legs, hips, and pelvis from what was probably a car accident prior to him being rescued. Because of this, he has a permanent limp that has led to early arthritis, and he also has chronic pain that flares up when those old injuries are aggravated. If he jumps too hard or overexerts himself playing or just has a bad pain day, it's pretty hard to watch. So 2 years ago I brought him in with swelling in his knee and yelping, paid close to a thousand dollars in x-ray and medication and appointment charges, and I was told the x-rays would be sent out for reading and to bring him back in a week so we could review everything and come up with a treatment plan. I set the follow up appointment and showed up for it one week later, only to be told that they forgot to send out his x-rays and had no information or treatment plan or insight into his pain and injury. I spent the next three hours there waiting for them to get a hold of someone who could read the images and help Scout, which they were initially unwilling to do because they insisted it would take another week or two and I should just set another follow up appointment. It's ALWAYS something like this. Today I had a 4:00 appointment for a wellness exam, shots update, preventative care prescription (flea, tick, heartworm) renewal, and a gabapentin refill since he's running low. I arrived early, waited for twenty minutes before calling out to the back to even be noticed despite ringing the door bells on my way in, spent another 40 minutes waiting to be seen, had a tech come in to give me a care quote for +$300 but was unsure what services he needed despite me being very clear when making the appointment, telling me his pet insurance claim records would be insufficient and he'd need shots that I already told her we were there to receive, running through that broken record of conversation for about ten minutes of repeating myself over and over, and then wrapping the whole thing up with the tech saying she couldn't even give me an estimate on how much longer we'd have to wait for him to be seem at all. Almost an hour past the start time for an appointment to which I arrived early. I picked up my dog and left, without the gabapentin that he needs, because I couldn't take another hours long disorganized disappointing appointment of unprofessional and haphazard care. I feel like a bad dog owner for coming back over and over just because they're so nice when they are also so unbelievably incompetent at providing basic care. Scout has an appointment with a new vet on Tuesday and I'll ration out his pain meds until then so hopefully he's not too uncomfortable, but I can't trust this fiasco of a clinic with his health any longer. They are very sweet people who are flagrantly irresponsible with the health needs of the animals in their care. The front desk lady is a shining star of kindness and customer service who is quick to make appointments and send out records when requested, but everyone else is consistent only in their inconsistency and unreliability. If you love your pets, take them somewhere that will take their health seriously. Photo of Scout attached so the review doesn't get lost, hopefully it's visible enough to prevent someone else making the same mistake I've made by trusting this office with a furry loved ones.
