What recent reviews say

Strong personal connections with certain staff members, especially Dr. Aiko and technician Yairis, drive the highest praise. However, systemic failures in follow-up care, coordination between locations, and office management accountability undermine confidence. Several reviewers report being turned away late, waiting 40+ minutes for exams, or receiving expensive treatment recommendations before seeing a vet in person.

The clinic's low-cost positioning is offset by surprise charges, prescription errors, and a lack of accountability when mistakes happen. Front-desk communication varies dramatically by staff member. Those who see Dr. Aiko consistently praise her detail and openness to options, while complaints centre on office manager conduct and the feeling that problems are avoided rather than resolved.

Praised for
  • Dr. Aiko's thorough approach and communication
  • Yairis and front-desk staff compassion and attention
  • Supportive care during end-of-life services
  • Affordable pricing and promotions
Watch-outs
  • Long waits and scheduling issues through app
  • Expensive treatment recommendations before in-person exam
  • Poor follow-up care and communication failures
  • Rude or dismissive office manager
  • Inconsistent care quality and staff turnover

Best for: Owners of healthy pets due for routine care with Dr. Aiko or Yairis.
Think twice if: You need reliable follow-up care, coordination with multiple locations, or a same-day resolution to prescription or billing errors. Office manager responsiveness has been a recurring friction point.

Strengths

  • Dr. Aiko's thorough exams and clear communication of options
  • Technician Yairis and supportive staff for anxious pets
  • Affordable pricing tier within the low-cost category

Worth knowing

  • Dr. Aiko: praised for thorough exams, direct communication, and willingness to discuss options
  • Yairis (technician): named repeatedly for genuine care and patient handling
  • Location manager Jenn: appeared in negative reviews regarding defensive communication and scheduling explanation
  • Automated scheduling system: blamed in one review for booking routine visits incorrectly during emergencies
  • Wait times of 40+ minutes reported when emergencies delayed routine appointments
  • Prescription errors and unfilled compound orders documented; unclear follow-up protocols
  • Staff turnover noted as a concern in one review (no consistent vet)

Clear Creek delivers attentive, thorough care that earns high marks for handling anxious or special-needs pets.
