Professional and courteous from start to finish.sh I.sh I. ★★★★★ Dr Johnson is thorough and has EXCELLENT bedside manner with pets. He cared for my elderly diabetic cat, doing all he could to ease her pain. The staff is equally supportive. I had to eventually let her go which was devastating but made easier with the caring team at Willowbend Animal Hospital.JuneJune ★★★★★ Willowbend has the most dedicated staff and takes great care of my dogs. They go above and beyond to call in and check on my dogs after they’ve been seen or have started a new medication. I can always count on friendly and fast customer service from the front desk and vet techs here. They provide estimates for treatments which is super helpful when preparing for a treatment. Dr. Johnson is a very thorough vet and will find out what is the root cause of your animal’s pain/discomfort. He is also very thorough in explaining what is going on and will take his time to walk you through the problem and his suggested treatment. I cannot recommend Willowbend enough.Lori C.Lori C. ★★★★★ I can't say enough, how great all the staff are towards our pets and us.

Best vet we’ve ever been to and we will never go anywhere else.Ryan ARyan A ★★★★★ Flexible, thorough and handled my dog wellChris P.Chris P. ★★★★★ After my previous vet was unable to see my dog urgently and a noticeable declining quality of care, I was recommended Willowbend by a friend. Dr. Johnson and his staff are amazing, kind, and extremely knowledgeable. They were able to see my dog the day I called based on her symptoms without ever having saw her before. It's safe to say that Willowbend is a facility you can trust and will be my new vet going forward!Ryan N.Ryan N. ★★★★★ The super friendly people there have helped my animals immensely!Chelsea C E.Chelsea C E. ★★★★★ I don’t usually write reviews, but Dr. Johnson and all of the Vet Tech’s at Willowbend are so kind, attentive, and loving towards our pups! We have never had a bad experience and the visits are always filled with laughs. They are also a saving grace with their costs. We wasted a lot of money going to “money hungry” Vets over the years with no results, so it is refreshing to have a Vet that cares more about the dogs than the bottom line. We’re so grateful for this team!Dariel P.Dariel P. ★★★★★ Hands down one of the best vets I've ever been to.John D.John D. ★★★★★ I took my dog in for a second opinion only, Dr. Johnson is so thorough and really was helpful. He later called to check and see how my dog was doing even knowing he was only a second opinion. long story short we have now changed vet's and Dr, Johnson is now our full time vet. He has always called me personally to check on my pets and to give me any test results. The girls on his staff are also so friendly and do their best to help with anything they can. We are so happy with the service we get there. We are new have been using them only about 5 months now and we are really happy with them. We do have a dog who has chronic bronchitis so we have visited many times in the short time we have been using them. All together we have three dogs who are now treated there. I highly highly recommend Dr. Johnson. He is a very caring vet I have never gotten the feeling it is just about money, he really cares and it shows. We have had one experience there that was not to my satisfaction. One of my dogs needed blood work drawn for a test, the girl tried the neck and could not hit the vein, she said the vein was rolling on her. she then tried the hind leg and again could not hit a vein, she said he had small veins and there was to much hair. I decided not to let her try a third time, so I asked if Dr. Johnson was in she said he was and she would take our dog to him if I wanted him to try. I wanted Dr. Johnson to try however I wanted him to come to the room and do it, when I asked her to have him come to the room she said he was to busy. I said then we will pass as I was not sure what the difference in him coming to the room and her taking the dog to him was it is a small place and either way he would be drawing the blood. I will call to get another appointment for his blood work as we need the results for the test. Other than that this place has always been great and we have never experienced a problem.Sandra S.Sandra S. ★★★★★ Just called them to set up an appointment. I’ve had many dogs and calling vets offices you often get poor customer service, sometimes i can understand it. Sometimes people just seem really unfriendly, even in person. Like they don’t even like animals. They lady I just spoke with has great energy, was helpful, and efficient. Thank you a ton! I will update about service but keeping this 5 star cause that employee. Sometimes setting appointments is the toughest part, being greeted by someone friendly makes it feel safe to give you animal to them.m hm h ★★★★★ So thankful for Dr. Johnson and his team. Our poor Greyhound had an emergency where his toenail had come off (because we haven’t been walking him as much in the HEAT). They showed great care and consideration for a very nervous dog!Aaron F.Aaron F. ★★★★★ I’m grateful for Dr Johnson and staff. They demonstrated care, patience and understanding towards our dear Bubbles and family during a difficult time. They even called to check in to see how Bubbles was doing while we waited for a diagnosis.Christina P.Christina P. ★★★★★ Dr. Johnson and his staff saved my cats life! We came in with an emergency and they were able to immediately get us in and save his life - they said they suspected he had minutes. They gave us new medication and have consistently called to check in on his status and see how WE are also doing. I'm going to continue visiting. they've gained a permanent patient.eniienii ★★★★★ Great staff and VERY affordable! Great placeJames K.James K. ★★★★★ Good service for our pets!Ivan S.Ivan S. ★★★★★ Shout out to the two ladies working at 6pm on May 15th, 2023. My hamster had a stroke and needed to be put down. They immediately read our faces when we came in and were super sweet. They promised to make sure my hamster was held and loved before she passed. I was offered to stay during the euthanasia or visit her after, but I opted out. The ladies were very comforting and promised to take good care of my sweet baby.Erin W.Erin W. ★★★★★ Super friendly staff and my dogs love these guys!!Chelsea R.Chelsea R. ★★★★★ Doctor Johnson and his staff are very thorough, kind and caring in their treatment for my dog.

Easy to schedule appointments and change based on your schedule.Brooke B.Brooke B. ★★★★★ Dr Johnson is such a calming presence to me and my cats every time I come in. Even when sometimes there are hard conversations to be had about my cats health. He’s very thorough in his assessments and answer any questions I have. He’s very gentle with my cats & patient when they’re scared. The techs and other team members there are also amazing. They’re always so friendly and remember me and my pets. They always provide an invoice and approval before doing anything going forward so we’re not surprised by the cost and they accept CareCredit which has been so helpful. I am so grateful for this place and trust my pets life with him and his team.Tori D.Tori D. ★★★★★ Friendly staff.Brett D.Brett D. ★★★★★ The vet took his time and thoroughly examined my dog which made me feel good to see a vet not rush through and examination.Shon S.Shon S. ★★★★★ Have been going to willowbend animal hosp for several years.

Everyone was super bubbly and helpful! I'll definitely be making willow bend my primary vet. Thank you!Kamryyn M.Kamryyn M. ★★★★★ My 6 year old Goldendoodle has had allergies and very constant itching for 5+ years. The vet listened intently to what I said. He did not prescribe another RX like other vets had done in the past. He recommended I try a Hydrolyzed-1 protein only food to see if that may reduce my dogs itching. Wow, how things have changed. My dog now has NO more itching and he loves his new food.Bill J.Bill J. ★★★★★ HIGHLY recommend for any and all pet and furry friendly needs!

I like that they do testing on my dogs frequent ear infections so he's getting the right medications. My dog is also accident prone and they always call me to check on him after a vet ER visit. They were also so kind when my geriatric cat had to be put to sleep. If you're looking for a vet I have only positive things to say about these people.---- ★★★★★ Always wonderful! The Staff is professional- caring. Dr. Johnson is the best. Highly recommend it.Karen W.Karen W. ★★★★★ They really care about your pets!! They have been amazing to work with!!Zachary C.Zachary C. ★★★★☆ The staff and vet were very nice and was able to answer all my questions. They handled my two cats very well (even when 1 hissed). Pricing seems to be on-par with other vets in the area.Rated 4, not 5, stars because the vet wasn't sure if he could handle a condition 1 cat has in-house and may need to refer me to the emergency vet (something I am attempting to avoid and should not need to use an emergency vet for based on previous vet interactions). Also, while everyone was nice and helpful, there was something a little off about my visit; I'm not sure what, but I didn't get the same "warm fuzzies" as I have at my previous vets, whom I'm no longer able to use due to moving too far away.Teague D.Teague D.js_loader
