We've always had a great experience with Portland Animal Clinic and Dr. Castle is a great vet! She helped us with many different dog issues between allergies, anxiety, and infections. I'm happy to spend my money here and know we get quality checkups and great service from everyone you talk/work with. I've recommended to our friends with 3 cats and they love the clinic just as much!

I highly recommend Dr Castle and the entire team that works here. This is the first vet clinic where I really feel welcome with my dog. She is a 10 year old chihuahua so naturally feisty. Dr Castle knows how to care for her without having to sedate her every visit. My dog doesn't leave the vet traumatized like she did at previous clinics we have tried. Pricing is very fair and once established as a patient it is very easy to get in when needed.

Very kind. Dr. Castle was able to see me quickly for my kitty having an upset tummy and was very sweet about making sure he was okay. Little bit of fluids and nausea medicine and he was right as rain. Almost like he wasn't sick all night haha.

Love Dr Castle and her team. They always are so sweet and take the best care of my cats. We had an emergency with our cat Sponge and Dr Castle referred us to an emergency vet and called the next day to check on her. She truly cares for her patients.
