Highly recommend Countryside veterinary clinic!!! Right before the holidays my 13 year old lab mix became ill. My regular vet was out of town with no coverage. A human answered the phone, got us in that morning, the assistant and veterinarian were wonderful with my furry lab. Sent us home with treatment plan. I was so impressed. Ill be changing to their practice. Bonus I had no wait time and the whole place was so clean!

I had a great experience. Dr. Alyssa Fenton is always helpful and knowledgeable. They allow me to pay in the room which is very helpful so I don't have to go back out through the lobby.

I've brought my German Shepherd mix, Trigger, to Countryside twice since we moved to the area during the pandemic. The first time was for an emergency issue, when he had an aural hematoma and most recently, we brought him in to get his vaccines up to date. I've seen both Dr. Dyer and Dr. Duval here and both are amazingly friendly, courteous, and respectful vets. I have never had a service pressured on me, plenty of literature was printed out and provided for all the services I have gotten, and everyone here treats my dog like their own. For as long as I have pets, I'll happily bring them to Countryside!

The visit was good. The Vet was polite and she seamed to know a good bit about animals. She gave good advice about my new dog. He was coughing and sneezing. She told if I needed an antibiotic I could call her back and she would call it in to my Phamacy. I left feeling good. But then when I tried calling her back to get meds, I had to leave a message and she never returned my call and did not call in an antibiotic.
So I am not happy with the Country side Vet. I do not recommend them them because they do not follow through with what they say. Now I have to find another Vet that hopefully That I can trust to do what they say.
