East Side Animal Hospital

My husband and I are new to the Evansville area. We have a one year old German Shorthaired Pointer named Booker. We had heard about several good vets in the area, and after a disastrous experience at Village East, decided to try here. I am very pleased to say that we have found all we could have asked for in East Side Animal Hospital!
Now be warned, the only drawback is that it is a little pricey. On point with our high end vet in Indianapolis (Broad Ripple Animal Clinic). BUT if you value customer service and personal attention it is worth EVERY penny. Every single person I met or even observed in the clinic was pleasant, professional, and went above and beyond. One of the ladies at the front desk went and got Booker a bowl of water while we were waiting because he was hot. It was very sweet.
We saw Dr. Stewart and Rachel the vet tech and loved them both! Booker needed rabies and bordatella vaccines updated as well as flea/​tick and heartworm medications. My husband used to be a vet tech and has preferences on these kinds of things, and Rachel very patiently explained to me all of their options for topical, pill, and collar flea/​tick meds so that we could make the decision best for us.
We got two estimates. One for the check up, vaccines, meds, and pre neuter bloodwork and urinalysis, the other for a neuter and microchip. Both were reasonable and were easy to understand line by line.
Dr. Stewart was awesome. It’s easy to love a place with people who genuinely love your dog. Whether yours is the first or the last dog of the day (our appointment was 4pm on a Friday) the enthusiasm and compassion is clearly apparent. Dr Stewart and Rachel had fun running through all of Booker’s commands like sit, stay, down, and shake while feeding him Zuke’s treats.
All in all, I’m very excited we chose East Side Animal Hospital and look forward to seeing them again soon!

I was looking around the region for a canine cardiologist. I called East Side Animal Hospital and I left my name and number and a few questions for Dr. Thompson. He promptly called me back. Although he could have done the procedure I needed he instead recommended I head somewhere else (specifically Purdue vet hospital) because they would be able to provide a lower price and likely better experience for my dog’s particular issue. Turning away potential business because it is in the best interest of the pet and pet owner is to my mind the hallmark of a great vet. In addition, Dr. Thompson provided me with useful information I had trouble finding elsewhere. If I lived in Evansville I would go to this vet.
