South County Veterinary Hospital

I took my Cat here yesterday for congestion and balance issues. Dr. H didn't do a full exam, didn't listen to her lungs, or look in her ears at all. I found a growth behind her ear while I was there and he argued with me that it wasn't there, then my husband felt it last night, and the vet I took her to today for a second opinion felt it. She also looked deeper into her ear and found tissue which could be just swelling from inflammation or cancer, which is what she thinks it is. This vet also noticed she's not blinking her left eye which means the growth is putting pressure on the nerves behind her ear. Dr. H just looked at the surface and didn't see an infection, but didn't use any tools to see deeper in like the one today. I'm not a vet, just a long time pet parent, and I knew it was something in the ear because of the balance and congestion. This is just negligence. I'm suspicious he felt it and just didn't want to deal with it, or just wasn't even trying. Makes me wonder how many pets die and suffer from his negligence when potentially serious illnesses are missed and go untreated.

PW has no room to complain. Yes the 10am goes before you because you are a walk in and they had an appt. They fit the walk-ins in the best they can. Great service by the staff and affordable. Dr. is brilliant. I can patiently wait because I know I am receiving the best service without being gouged.

Walkin not first come first serve mex receiptiinist can go in order, you can be there at 8 and people at 10 are served, Idiots waste your time, go elsewhere!!!!

The only vet in the area who would help our puppy on Saturday morning. I called several in Visalia, Hanford, and Tulare but no answer or they would not take walk ins.

So very upset and disappointed with the lack of service we received today! Took my puppy in after he was attacked by another dog at the dog park. They said they were no longer seeing patients. They suggested I take my puppy to Reedley or Kingsburg. When I asked for the name and number for the vet in Kingsburg, they couldn't provide it!! Luckily another pet parent was able to provide me with the name. Come Monday morning I will be requesting a copy of my puppy's record and making Dr. Gaheer at Kingsburg Veterinary Clinic his primary vet. I WILL NEVER RETURN TO SOUTH COUNTY VETERINARY HOSPITAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have taken my baby girl to this office for several reasons the staff is great and the doctor is excellent! They saved my baby's life the last time I took her she stayed 5 days and I didn't have to pay thousands I will never take her any place else I have had nothing but good experiences there this place is truly a blesssing.

Dr. Dolittle of SELMA - busy office (maybe a little unorganized with the paperwork because they try to help everyone). Your patiences is worth using. YES, it smells like animals - it's a busy vet office. what else should it smell like? THEY ARE Caring, concerned, compassionate and excellent vets. I've been going there off and on for 25 years. When I moved away, the other vets never compared to South Valley.

I called them when may cat got electricuted on a power line. They saw him right away, began treating him with steriods and kept him for a few days. He recovered and did well after that. Another cat I had had been mauled by a dog and was paralyzed. Again they saw him right away and treated him. When he wouldn't eat, they let us come to see him, and when he saw us he began eating. He recovered again was able to walk. They have always tried to see my pets right away when I call.

It was an emergency when I took my kitty here. ( I usually go to the Kingsburg vet) But didn't want to drive and just needed a vet to see her asap! (She had gone paralyzed in her hind legs) It was such a mistake, I regret to this day.

As soon as I walked in I should have left. They were not friendly. I heard the vet complain about how many animals he had to check out. They looked at me like I was a kid who would not be able to pay the vet fee. They charged me around 100 dollars and took my kitty into a room. I left my kitty of ten years there and the next morning they called to tell me she had passed away. They told me they would refund me back $30 and gave me no reason for what she died from! They still owe me $30 but I don't even want to step foot there ever again!
