my dog and i have been seeing dr. slome for years and i can't see myself going anywhere else. Pricing is average for the area but great staff. I also get my dog groom there and they always do a great job! 5 star overall, can't complain.

Lots of concerns about this clinic. (Remember there are two sides to this clinic: the referral clinic and the emergency clinic.) I had a very tragic and nighmarish experience in January with the emergency part of the clinic, from which I have still not recovered. I am sure there are good people there who know their stuff but there is perhaps some inconsistency which needs to be improved. I have provided them with some suggestions for improvement so that what happened with my cat does not happen with anyone else's pet. If I can make a difference for the better in the life of someone else's pet then it will at least provide some meaning to what happened to my cat.
Also if anyone has had any terrible or tragic events then you might want to file a complaint of the College of Veterinarians of Ontario. If there are many complaints about the same place then it might result in making a difference for the better in the care and treatment of our pets. Not sure that it will, but hopefully it will. All we can do is try, and hope that we are heard.
I could say much more, but this is all for now.

I find the bad reviews are from those not aware of average animal care costs. I have 2 cats and a dog and have been going to Secord for about 4 years now. I've had numerous vets in the past and none have compared to the caring and compassionate staff at Secord. One time they even drove my parent's dog (that I was dog sitting) to the emergency vet clinic and didn't even charge me for the exam! They have always given me fair price quotes and they are very understanding of my student budget (sometimes even offering payment plans). If you are obvious about your love for your pet they will do everything they can to help you.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves their animals as much as i loved mine. I brought my dog in and the doctors and other staff were so honest and helpful. I wish i had brought my dog to them much sooner because i know my dog would've had a fighting chance with them. I would like to thank them for allowing me to say my final goodbyes with my dog and did not put a time limit on me. They had him placed in a room with the lighting just right. I know that my dog is watching over me and that he is no longer suffering. If and when i ever get another dog, i will be sure to return the business to them. Im forever thank full that they're so compassionate!

My cat was taken care of by Dr Miller. She is a very caring doctor and the other staff are very good.

Dr. Aziz is an amazing doctor. He loves your pets like his own, and he understands the fact that our pets are our families. When we took our cat, Maki, in for bladder stones, we thought it was hopeless, and that we had to put Maki down. But Dr. Aziz was very determined to save Maki, and reassured us that he would do everything he could for Maki. Our cat is fine now, all thanks to Dr. Aziz. I highly recommend this veterinary clinic, the quality of service is incomparable. You wont find another doctor out there that will love and care for your pets like Dr. Aziz and his staff do. Thank you Dr.! Juli and Carol

I am deeply saddened and stunned to hear about Dr. McGarragle's passing. For years I took my dog there and I credit his knowledge and expertise that he kept my dog living a wonderful life for 15 of them. My dog had to have extensive surgeries. I found this doctor compassionate and reasonable with his rates. He was always there for me when there was an emergency situation. I took another dog there because the owner couldn't find out what was wrong with her dog and Dr. McGarragle hit it on the nail within 5 minutes. My heartfelt condolences to his family. He will be sorely missed, but surrounded by so many of his patients!

I have 3 shelties. My dog amber had a deer tick in her chest and needed surgery to take it out. I left Amber with Dr Sohol to remove it. When I got home he phoned me and said amber was so scared they didn't want to scare her anymore and if I could come back and hold her why he did the surgery. When I got there I held Amber and she was totally a different dog she sat there so good did even move and let him freeze her and cut the deer tick out and stitch her up. I really appreciate that he didn't want to scare her and made a good choice calling me to make amber more secure. He is a great vet and has a good heart for the feelings of your dog. I highly recommend Dr Sohol.

We have been taking our various animals here for more than 25 years. I have never for a minute ever had a bad experience.
A few weeks ago my 9 year old cat was extremely ill. He was having great difficulty breathing and was in severe distress. From the moment I called them I knew they cared and got him in right away. Michelle at the desk, Dr. Walker and Dr. Culvert were amazing. He stayed for a week and every day I spoke to them they explained what was going on. One day it was pretty grim and the news was not good. Dr.Culvert told me they were doing everything they could to help him. He has been home now for almost 2 weeks and he is as good as he has ever been.
He actually owes his life to them and I will never forget all of them and what they did.
As far as expense goes I feel that anything I paid for was worth every penny. There are some things in life that you cannot put a price on.

I moved to the area last year and desperately needed a local vet to attend to my 6 month old German Shepherd. I was initially drawn to Front Street Animal Hospital for its convenience - the clinic is only 5 minutes from my house. However, after a few visits I've grown to appreciate the honesty and respect I've received from the front end staff and Dr.Juan.

I feel like they have the best interests of my pet in mind, but also consider the practical and financial implications of expensive vet bills. The options are always laid out on the table and there's no pressure or "upselling". Coming from a rather expensive vet in the East end this was a nice change. I've had a number of lengthy phone calls with the vet that have actually saved me from coming in....bonus.

Thank you Dr.Hana and staff for being so caring, compasionate, and always being there day or night for my pets. your pet cannot get better care than Dr. Hanna and his team!
I simply cannot thank you enough.

Very clean, Reasonable pricingm experienced vet

I have used Dr. Belovich and the Yonge Street Animal Hospital for over 20 years and have always been very, very happy with their care. To date, over 13 cats and 3 dogs have been patients and from big emergencies (broken legs, renal failure, heart failure) to routine check-ups, when you consult with Dr. Belovich, you know you will get an honest and fair answer for both you and your pet.

They're not cheap but there is never any doubt about the quality of their care, the equipment, and their many years of experience. If you are looking to establish a relationship with a vet that you can depend on, Michael Belovich is an excellent choice.

And no, this is not a paid endorsement. He's just been a great vet for me. I tried a few cheaper vets - you get what you pay for!

Like I said, dont' do it.

Completely agree with former comment, this clinic is very, very DIRTY and Rapaport is rude, so is one of her PART-TIME receptionists who really thinks she is a vet herself and knows just about everything there is to know about animal issues and concerns, SO why on earth is she she working as a receptionist? Would never use them again. Veterinary clinics need to be regulated and inspected!!

After fifteen years Dr Mudrick and his staff continue to to provide excellent service and care for my dog. My first dog had surgeries to repair torn ligaments when she was young. As she aged she was given all the care she needed to live a healthy life. My current dog has a gastric condition that was difficult to diagnose and treat but he's now doing great thanks to the skill and concern of all at this clinic. I trust them completely and can say honestly that I wouldn't go anywhere else.

I take all my dogs to see Dr Serge and he is really wonderful with them. The rest of the staff at the hospital are also excellent, very friendly, and make you feel like your animal is the one and only! I highly recommend this vet to anyone who appreciates good service and a caring environment for animals.

Wow I have never been so unhappy with a veterinarian. Dr Smith examined my dog for what seemed like 60 seconds before giving her her shots. How can he justify charging an exam fee is he doesn't examine the animals?

A neighbour of mine recommeded this clinic for neutering my dog, as they are a lot cheaper then my regular clinic. I called to see how much neutering my dog would be as he has a retained testicle and my regular vet quoted about $600, over the phone the receptionist was nice and said the doctor would have to see my dog for an accurate quote, so I said okay and booked an appointment. I arrive for my appointment 10min early and I was the first appointment as they just opened for the day, the receptionist didn't greet me or say a word when I walked in. I said I was there for an appointment and she said, literally, "sit down and wait". In my head I was thinking this isn't a good first impression when I actually had every intention of switching to them for a regular vet. So I sat and waited, 10min..20min..25min... there were no appointments there, they were not busy, the phone was not ringing off the hook. I could hear the staff members sitting in the back chatting about their previous nights and what they wanted to do later that day. So they finally called me in, the doctor wasn't very friendly and basically looked at him (did not touch him at all) and said "yeah he's ok for surgery" I said excuse me, I know he's ok for surgery, he has no health problems whatsoever. I am here for a quote on the neuter. She then said "oh it will be between 300-600" And I told her thats what the receptionist said to me on the phone, but I was told I could get an actual estimate, not a range. She said she wasn't the doctor that does surgeries and that he wasn't in today... I just about flipped out. Then why the hell was my appointment booked with you?? The receptionist knew what I needed the appointment for and she screwed it up big time. No one cared, no one even acknowledged the issue. The issue is you want me to pay $50 for telling me what the receptionist told me for free on the phone! I definitely don't recommend this place whatsoever. My regular vet is richview animal hospital and they are terrific, surgery was a bit too expensive but they actually care about the owner and the animal. These people don't give a sh*t about you or your time or money!

I am so pleased, thrilled, amazed, happy and any other positive word you can use to describe this animal clinic. Where I am from our vet was very hands on and knew everyones pet by name. You get that here.
I had just moved here and my little Moolah was having stomach issues. My husband and I researched vets in Toronto and we decided to give West Hill a try. We were not disappointed. Not only did they take VERY good care of Moolah but called and checked up on her. In my book that is way above typical standards. Not to many will do that anymore.
Just recently Moolah was having stomach issues again and was also showing visible signs of an infection. We went to the Emergency Hospital and they faxed the results over to West Hill. I got a call the next day from her vet Dr. Thompson asking how Moolah was and explained that she had Pyometra and in such a way we understood the risk and what exactly it was. Over a 3 day period it got worse and we had to do surgery.
Dr. Wood did an amazing job on her surgery. She had the proceedure done yesterday and today she is laying here on the bed with her baby heavily guarded. (Like her 2.5lb body is going to really protect it from me).
The staff is caring and amazing all around and I could not have found a better vet anywhere. We LOVE this place and are very happy to have them as our vet. They remind me of the vets we had at home.
