Herbst Veterinary Hospital

Sorry that one sour apple with a comment about her goat (???, like did she call back and really no explanation or detail was given) as this is the complete opposite of the vets at Herbst, They and the staff as well are all extremely CARING. Your animal is of the utmost importance to them.



Herbst has a large animal facility, as well as the Main Street of Boerne location. These are a dedicated group of doctors, and one is always on call over the weekend and evening. I had to have a little dog put down after a surgery at the large specialty hospital in San Antonio, and he had been a patient of Herbst...they were soo caring after hearing about what happened to my little dog, and it was with total, honest sincerity. I, personally, have not had anything recommended for any of my dogs...which has amounted to five being taken there, that I ever felt was out of line, and not really a necessity. Now...do they want to try and do all they can to prevent illness and dental problems, yes they do, but they try and run specials every year for people that cannot afford this procedure.



I have lived in Houston, and I have used what a lot would consider the best vets "around"...none can compare, however, with those that practice at Herbst Veterinary Hospital in Boerne, Texas It is not too far..even if you live on I-10 or 1604 in San Antonio...they are worth the drive. I have never seen an animal turned away....that, my friends, says a lot.

If you want vets who don't care these are the guys. I had an emergency and they never bothered to come. I know this because I had a goat attacked by a dog and was told to meet the vet at the clinic, 15 min, from my house. I passed the vet on call's house on my way there. His truck was in the drive way. I waited at the clinic outside for over an hour, the goat died, and he never showed. I passed his house again on the way home and his truck was in the exact same spot in the driveway. I never recieved any calls from him or the answering service saying he was going to be late.



I have had other interactions with them that ended in a similar fassion. I stopped using them as soon as other vets moved into Boerne. I reccomend Morrison Vets on Main St.
