Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care

Six years of jumping from one vet to another just to find the best doctor, and we finally found someone that we felt really cared about Cooper. Most vets provide a too aggressive of an approach to treatments and/​or exams — it was the opposite with Dr. Evergreen. He provided us with a lot of information that we didn’t know. He’s thorough, takes his time, and very pleasant both to us and Cooper. A holistic doctor that is a perfect complement to our holistic life for our Cooper. We just wish we found this clinic sooner.

There really aren’t many vets like Dr. Evergreen. He’s honest, thorough, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely cares. He’s seen us through losing pets and adding new pets to our family and during both highly emotional times, I wouldn’t want any other vet by our side. Can’t say enough about Dr. Evergreen. I wish he wasn’t so far from us but we’re willing to drive 30 miles for a vet like him.

I am writing this review having never stepped foot in this business. Here is my story.
My dog was not feeling well, he had a strange cough that had me a little freaked out.(understatement) I admit I am hyper-​sensitive about my dog. I called this vet on accident. I have never taken my dog to this vet but I was under the assumption I called my regular vet. I had not, so when they could not find the file on my dog, again because I have never been there I started to get upset. I am the jerk and I take full responsibility for this. The friendly and professional person on the phone (sweet young lady who’s name is can’t recall) did her best to help me, again I’m the one who made the mistake. After getting off the phone and being kind of upset (another understatement). I got a phone call back a few hours later, the same nice person called me back. She had found my regular vet office that had all my dogs files and history. I’m writing this as a Thank you for your professionalism and hard work.
I am sorry for being a jerk to the wrong person it was my fault and I personally learned a valuable lesson that day.
Thank You from Hyper-​sensitive dog owner. I hope this review helps your business. If I ever change vets it will be to this one.

My wife and I met with Dr. Evergreen yesterday about our female dog’s ongoing diarrhea. Another vet we saw last week said it was likely due to food allergies. Dr. Evergreen dismissed that notion, and correctly diagnosed the symptom as Giardia. In fact he saved us a few bucks by telling us we didn’t need to analyze our dog’s stool sample. We had submitted a sample the previous week to other vet which ruled out parasites. Dr. Evergreen prescribed a couple meds and a probiotic. Less than 24 hours later, our dog has a firm stool. Dr. also explained vaccinations, what was needed, what really wasn’t. Overall, just a wealth of information. We never felt rushed. Just a really nice man. In summary, we would highly recommend Dr. Evergreen and his staff to anyone seeking attentive, honest medical care for their pet.

My husband and I really like Dr. Evergreen. It’s taken us a while to find a vet we trust and we really trust him. He takes the time to go over everything with you and makes sure you understand. Other places they just do the treatment and expect a tech to explain it. Dr. Evergreen takes the time to with you to make sure you understand. We have been looking for such a vet. We now have all of our pets with Evergreen Holistic and couldn’t be happier. The office staff are awesome and remember us every time we call. I would highly recommend.

Our dog Chevy loves dr Evergreen. We look forward to the informative visits with him. I love his approach and the way he cares for our Pit Bull. He is a kind informative person and truly cares about the animals. That is evident in the way that he offers treatment options.
Eg; these are your options, this is what I would do and this is a good starting point. Would highly recommend

My daughter has taken our dogs and cat here for a couple of years. I recently brought our aging dog in for his annual checkup and I was very impressed. Very friendly staff, obvious animal lovers. Dr. Evergreen was extremely knowledgeable, and explained every element of our dog’s exam. I am very pleased, and highly recommend.

I was very impressed by my visit to Evergreen Holistic Veterinary Care!!! Dr. Evergreen does not just prescribe meds to cover symptoms. He took the time to find out what my dog’s, food, and supplement regimen was like before making a diagnosis. I was surprised to find out that my dog’s food may have actually been causing some of his chronic problems. Dr. Evergreen made some excellent suggestions for how to change my dog’s life for the better. I was impressed by the way that Dr. Evergreen explained the different options for treatment, but did not pressure me into doing anything unnecessary or harmful. My dog was also very comfortable with Dr. Evergreen, and he normally panics when he goes to the vet. I drove 45 minutes to go to Dr. Evergreen because he was very highly recommended by a coworker. I was not disappointed, and will be back.

Dr Evergreen is AMAZING! I love how kind and compassionate he is about my pup. He takes the time to listen and give suggestions. He is very open minded and takes time to understand my concern for my pet. He really makes you & your pet feel very important and not just a patient. Highly reccomend him!

They are wonderful! I drive 40 mins to get there. Doesn’t try to cost me an arm and a leg. The vet spent 30+ minutes talking about the pets health and options. My cat feeling better immediately. I am not going anywhere else I have finally found a great vet!

It saddens me to have to write a fairly negative review about this facility.
First, I do think Dr. Brad Evergreen is a great vet, and I appreciate the time and thoughtfulness he has given my dogs for the past 2 ½ years.
However, his front-​desk staff has significantly gone downhill in the last year or so. Rude, incompetent, disrespectful.
In one day, it took me 45 minutes to place a simple med renewal because they had a new receptionist. That was frustrating enough.
But when I hired someone to drive to Monroe l to pick it up, it wasn’t there, and they refused to address it that night. This is something I’ve done for the past 2 ½ years — hired someone to pick up the meds, as their office is almost 40 minutes away.
Because of this error, my dog went without his meds that day, even though I informed the receptionist that I was OUT and I needed to pick it up that day. When I ordered it, I was told it would be ready by 2 and the messenger arrived at 4:30.
Fortunately it is for thyroid and not too harmful to skip. But I wonder, as one of my dogs enters his senior years, whether front office staff will keep me from getting the proper care for when there is a much higher risk?
When I brought that up, I was told that I was «silly and ridiculous.»
For complete disclosure, the person I sent did mess up and didn’t bring my name or my dog’s name with her. However, that information was available online (I hired her through TaskRabbit) and she offered to go to a library, look up the information and return.
They refused, told her not to bother, they were NOT going to give her any medications because I hadn’t given them the messenger’s name. The fact that the order was missing and no one asked me for her name was irrelevant to them. I still don’t understand why they wouldn’t let her return with my name so they could call me and clear it up that night..
I have been doing this for 2 ½ years — sending a messenger to pick up the meds, and have had no issues.
When I pointed out how it could have been handled better, and my frustration, I was told that there was a new receptionist and therefore I should expect that there would be problems while he learned. I was chastised for complaining.
I asked that Dr. Evergreen contact me if he was interested in us remaining his patients and she said to come at 9:30 to pick up the meds and she would make sure he was available to talk to me face-​to-​face and then she hung up as I was explaining I would not be the person coming and I was trying to give her the information required for the pick-​up the next day to go okay.
I left a message with the receptionist and the other front office staff member (the one who was rude and hostile) and Dr. Evergreen never called. He may not even be aware that his front desk is ruining his reputation.
If I had gone at 9:30, he would have been in surgery. This front office just doesn’t care, is rude and disrespectful of the patients in this practice. I’ve had some previous abrupt and snappish encounters with them over the last year, but it hadn’t previously cost me so much in time and money, and potentially put my dog at risk before. Now that it has, and I haven’t heard from Dr. Evergreen, I have no other option but to find another vet.
As much as I value the care that Dr. Evergreen gave, up to 90% of my interactions with his office is with his front office staff. I can’t risk the health and life of my dogs to his office staff, so I will be switching vets. Really sad when a great professional’s reputation is getting ruined by his staff.

Dr. Evergreen is the best vet me and my kitties have ever had. He’s so compassionate towards animals and has been so helpful.

I’d give both Dr. Brad Evergreen + Dr. Hannah Evergreen, and the staff at Evergreen Holistic Vet Clinic more than 5 stars if I were allowed.
I have taken all of my dogs, and numerous foster dogs, to EHVC since they first opened their doors and will continue to go as long as I have dogs in my life.
My dogs are healthier and happier thanks to the wonderful care they receive at Evergreen Holistic Vet Clinic where the bottom line is the patient’s well being.

I can’t say enough good things about this vet.
1. For the price conscious, their prices are quite reasonable. (Edit 2016: His prices have gone up. He’s now on par with the more expensive clinics in the area. He’s still a wonderful vet — just don’t go there expecting to pay less for your pet’s care.)
2. They are able to do a lot of the testing in-​house which not only makes it less expensive but gets you results much faster.
3. You can tell they actually love animals. How many vets get down on the floor and play with your pet to make her feel comfortable? They are very gentle, take things slow, talk soothing to the animals, and make it as pleasant as they can for them.
4. The vet took over an hour with my two cats. He explained everything in detail. He didn’t try to sell me anything I didn’t need, was very positive and upbeat without being unrealistic. I had left my current vet with really no real information, an attitude of «let’s wait until they get sick before we take any action,» and a sense of doom. I’m so glad I went to see Dr. Evergeen because he allayed my fears, gave me the information I needed, ran another test to get a little more information, and told me what I could do to help prevent future problems.
I’ve been to another holistic vet who charged 5 times as much as Dr. Evergreen, wasn’t as personable, didn’t run any tests, and had an office that you left covered in animal hair because animals were lounging all over the furniture. He did nothing for me but make sure I knew how great he was and how he was consulted from all over the country. Oh, and I had to wait in the waiting room for two hours to see him. Dr. Evergreen had us in the exam room within 2 minutes!
We are transferring our records for our other cats here. We liked our other vet and he’s closer to our house, but Dr. Evergreen is amazing.
I wouldn’t suggest trying Google maps or a GPS to get there. We had both and each sent us in different directions, neither in the right direction. Just turn onto Freyland’s Blvd. and watch for them on the left. They’re easy to spot at the end of a little strip mall.

Dr. Hanna is the best! I used her 6+ years ago for acupuncture on my Dalmatian. Now she is providing chiropractic and acupuncture for my horse Sis. She spends as much time as necessary to give the best care possible. She is so calm and good with the animals.
I am very interested to try her new horse Yoga program. So progressive!

Outstanding! I was referred to this clinic when my Mastiff/​Pit Bull mix, Buford, needed some acupuncture for his arthritis. Dr. Brad was thorough, caring and very good about letting me know what was going on. Dr. Hannah does the acupuncture and chiropractic and she was wonderful. No one was scared of my big dog and conversely Buford loved all of the staff! He even fell asleep in the middle of his treatment.
The clinic itself is easy to get to, clean and attractive. They are also very rescue friendly and offer discounts for my foster dogs. If you are looking for a new vet or a combination of Eastern and Western veterinary care, please check them out!

I’ve been taking my three dogs (ages 4 through 7) to Dr. Evergreen almost since he opened his business, starting with one dog when I couldn’t get into our old vet then transferring the other two after just two appointments with him — he was that good! I like his opinions, options & ideas — his ability to educate you and make you an active participant in their health care is great and the amount of research he does (his background knowledge on various topics of health care) is wonderful. We no longer vaccinate but titer our dogs thanks to his recommendations (and we spent a lot of time ourselves researching after his recommendation as this was such a foreign concept to us) and medications that we use when needed tend to be homeopathic and much easier on our dogs.
I also love his staff (I think Keir is the correct spelling!) — they’ve gone out of their way to fit us in at different times, faxed & emailed copies of records as we’ve needed them & ensured that we most always get in on time as well.
We drive 45 minutes one way just to ensure he’s the guy who take care of our pups health. I think you will truly like him, his office and his staff!

I just converted from a passive Unilocal readership to an active membership to post about the wonderful Dr. Evergreen!
We have two dogs we rescued when they were puppies and they are now between 4 and 5 years old. We have traveled extensively with our pets and lived in at least three different locations around the country. In all these years, we have never come across a better vet — he is attentive, non-​judgmental and genuinely compassionate. After reading the Evergreen’s bio on their clinic website my husband and I are really humbled by the rich and conscientious life the Evergreens live. What an example for all of us. We hope they will remain untarnished as they become more successful — as they are bound to be…
Here are some of the reasons I love them:
— more time than my own doctor for my dogs!
— detailed explanation — not just ‘well you won’t understand anyway’ summaries
— acknowledges the sentient nature of beings rather than just an ‘animal’ — who mostly according to vets: don’t feel any pain. I can’ start ranting on that last clause, but that’s for another post.
— believe it or not: really and truly reasonably priced!

Dr. Evergreen is incredibly patient and thoughtful when it comes to taking care of my aging dog. He is very knowledgeable pet nutrition and healthy options that work within allergy restrictions. He found non-​invasive ways to correct a severe GI problem, and also treat his stage 3 arthritis as well. My old boy is as comfortable as he can be for now, thanks to Dr. Evergreen and his wonderful staff. It’s worth the drive!

This is the first «Woohoo» rating I have given in all of my reviews thus far. We adopted a Shepperd mix from Homeward Pets and Dr. Evergreen was on the list of vets who honored the free first exam coupon. He and his wife also volunteer their services at the shelter.
I was amazed that we spent 45 minutes during our first exam. That’s more time than I spend with my own physician! His approach is a holistic approach and to minimize unnecessary vaccines and medication.
He is very knowledgeable about pet health and writes articles on the subject which is available in the reception area.
When we first moved to Monroe we thought about not only cost but as well as service level and went to a couple different veterinarians. However, after this recent experience with Evergreen we have decided to take our brood of 4 dogs and 1 cat to Dr. Evergreen. His prices are very reasonable, which is a big consideration when you have many companions to care for.
