What Vickery Place Clients Have to Say...

Our fam loves this place! My wife’s been bringing our pup here since before I knew her & always raved about Dr. Martin & the excellent vet techs working alongside him. Today we brought our 9 year old bunny, Gus, to Dr. Martin for a routine check-up. The staff was amazing with what is considered an “exotic animal”. They were knowledgeable, made Gus comfortable, & appreciated the way we’ve been loving him & taking care of him. Appointments are always fairly priced, efficient, & a pleasant experience. I know there are some great vets in Dallas but I truly think this place is the best of them all.

I highly recommend Vickery Place Animal Hospital! Despite having other practices closer to our home, our pugs get all their veterinary care at VPAH because of the quality care they receive there. We always receive good communication from the veterinarians and vet techs, who have treated some serious conditions over the years. VPAH is the only place we feel comfortable leaving any of our pets on the rare occasion when we need to board. They also have good relationships with some of the rescue groups in town.

Fantastic vet that is knowledgeable with ferrets. The entire staff really seem to care about the animals and are very patient with the pet owners as well. Highly recommend them for all fur babies!

The staff has taken wonderful care of my two orange tabby cats for years. The particular vets and techs have changed over time but the care and service are always top notch.

Thank you for a comfortable environment to take my very nervous cat. Brooke made sure to relay my message on how to best handle my cat so I appreciate her very much. Your staff is much appreciated!
