Report
Dr. Richardson is very knowledgeable and personable. Unlike other vets that I've came across, he will sit down with you, without rushing and take his time to explain exactly what is going on with your dog, and you can tell that he actually cares. It's gonna be a long process for my little angel's recovery but at least I know that he's in good hands!

Report
This office came highly recommended by a neighbor of mine so after going to the same office for over 35 years, I made appointments for my dogs this past Friday. I received verbal confirmation and numerous emails confirming and then reminding me about the appointments. I took off a half a day from work (because finding a great vet is worth time off) and after driving 30 minutes from my home (again, the distance was not an issue if it meant finding a great vet), but when I arrived at my appointment I was told there was no appointment.
I offered to pull up the numerous emails I was sent by their office regarding the appointment, and miraculously the receptionist found my appointment. The receptionist went to the back office and came out to tell me it would be a long wait, an hour or two. I left because if the office can't keep track of a simple appointment, I don't have confidence that they could care for my pets in an efficient and correct manner. It's my understanding that the previous owner passed away. I am guessing the great service left with him.

The doctor lady and lab staff appear to be five star performers. Yet, someone at the front desk neglected to send a referral to the bluepearl specialty hospital for a needed procedure. I usually give five stars on a review as a common courtesy. The missing review star is for the failed service that I received upon my first visit to this business.

I've been taking our 9lb dog and a seriously overweight, diabetic 18 yr old cat to the Bulverde Animal Hospital for over 10 years now and have always been cheerfully greeted by the front desk folks (where I pick up insulin for the cat every month). They are always ready to help or check-in the pets for appointments. Wait time is always minimal and test results are shared as soon as possible. There's been a recent change-over of Vets, but service provided continues to be top-notch.

Dr. Woods was very personable, sensitive and non-judgemental when we took our 12 year old pug in for an overall health checkup. They presented the line item estimate and let us decide which services we could afford with no pressure for services/procedures that could wait. Dr. Woods personally called me to follow-up after our visit. I really appreciated her explaining health and wellness technical terms that i wouldn't have otherwise understood. I would definitely refer Bulverde Animal Hospital to friends and family.

I don't think it could have been any better. Dr. Woods returned my call personally and was able to fit me in the schedule right before lunch to see 8 puppies all at once. She was very thorough and explained everything. At the end of the visit the bill was brought in and discussed with me and I was asked if I wanted the additional labs and meds that she was recommending before being charged for them.
Do to financial reasons I had to decline the labs and was not made to feel pressured about getting them. Dr. Woods and the staff were very kind and I will continue to bring my fur babies to her when needed. Thanks so much for saving my puppies.
