Bayshore Animal Hospital & Avian Practice Reviews
learningcompassionatebirdquestionstrimofficevet techfurrymorninggreyhound
★ 5★ 4★ 3★ 2★ 1Everyone was amazing. They were very attentive to my concerns & worked to get me an earlier appointment. Dr. Learning was honestly probably the best vet I think I've ever seen & I've had animals my entire life. I came here specifically for my Bearded Dragon, but will probably transfer my dogs now that I've discovered this place. I even got a text the next day asking me how Sunny was doing. This vet's office hits all the right notes. Thanks so much for your attention & care.
April 19 · Justyn ArtigaSteve Sanders and staff are wonderful. From the receptionist, to our favorite Doctor for 9 years, Steve Sanders. While he has cut back in his semi-retirement, he is there on a limited terms as they train new and highly trained doctors in a practice that has been around for a long time. Steve is one of the most knowledgeable vets we have had over the years. He really knows his medicine. He is kind, and very observant, quietly checking the dog carefully while sitting on the floor with our English Setter, calming him and us if there's been an emergency, and checking so closely for things not noticed by us in a routine checkup. It is worth making sure we check in for his availability, but always can fit it in to our schedule. It's worth it. Those younger new Doctors, aside from their medical training, are lucky to be working under his guidance and knowledge. Kathi Grau, proud owner of Arrow!
June 28 · kathi grauI give Bayshore Animal Hospital a 5 star review. My sweet "Bella" needed surgery and I knew that Dr. Steven Sanders was the Veterinarian I wanted to perform it. He had taken wonderful care of my "Gracie" for 19 years until she passed away. Bella did great during and after surgery and is now at home recovering. My experience was met with a compassionate and kind staff and a clear communication of costs before her surgery. Dr. Sanders and his staff kept me informed during the day as well as checking in later in the day with me to see how she was doing at home.
August 23 · Nina SweetExtremely happy with their service. Had an emergency with my puppy. Turned out to be an eye infection. My normal vet doesn’t work on Thursday and I tried several other vets who turned me away since Bentley wasn’t one of their existing patients. Bayshore was the only one whom seemed to care and scheduled us for an appointment within an hour of our call. The doctor explained everything he was doing and why which put me at ease. After my appointment, I decided to make Bayshore my primary care provider for Bentley.
August 16 · Stephen GThis was my first visit to Bayshore animal Hospital and I gave it an excellent five star review. The receptionist was very polite attentive and acknowledged me right away. Dr. Sanders assistant came in was very friendly was gentle with my cat very personable. Dr. Sanders was excellent. I would highly recommend this practice to anyone.
