What recent reviews say

Belleview divides opinion sharply. Five-star reviewers praise Dr. Mike's personal attention, the clinic's expertise with exotic pets and holistic care, and fair pricing when communicated upfront. One-star reviewers cite sudden price jumps, billing confusion, poor follow-up communication, and frustration over missing diagnoses and pain management. Long-term loyal patients report genuine care; those hit with surprise fees or complex cases report feeling dismissed and financially burned.

UrgentVet

4.6(288)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers praise UrgentVet for fast, compassionate care and transparent pricing well below emergency vet costs. Staff communicate clearly, handle anxious pets with patience, and follow up by phone or mail. A handful of one-star complaints cite high x-ray fees ($415), medication costs, and inadequate exam depth, with one customer reporting a $250 quote error and another questioning the relevance of breed-focused advice for a young dog. Dr. May, Dr. Hoppe, Jessica, Sharla, and Lela appear by name in positive reviews. The clinic credits prior exam fees for follow-up visits and provides memorial cards. Fear Free Certification and online check-in are noted as strengths. Concerns cluster around pricing transparency for ancillary services and consistency in how thoroughly vets address owner concerns before treatment.

Most visitors describe staff who genuinely care about animals and their owners, answer questions thoroughly, and get appointments scheduled within days. Nervous or reactive dogs settle quickly under the team's care. Specific strengths include Dr. Jerry and Dr. Waznik, fast checkups with minimal wait, fair prices, and a clean facility. One isolated complaint alleged refusal to examine a dog, though this contrasts sharply with the overwhelming pattern.

Reviewers consistently praise the vets, techs, and front desk for genuine warmth and responsiveness. Dogs and cats arrive anxious or seriously ill and leave in confident hands: staff answer questions without rushing, vets kneel to examine nervous animals, and surgeons follow up the next day. Dental work, emergency trauma care, end-of-life appointments, and acupuncture all earn trust; long-term clients mention staying a decade or more.
