What recent reviews say

Reviewers consistently experience warm, attentive care at prices that surprise them on the low side. Dr. Sara Wenkheimer and her team explain procedures clearly, send follow-up calls, and deliver polished results on spays, neuters, and dental work.

The clinic specializes in affordable dental and surgical care for dogs and cats. Multiple reviewers note transparency in pricing and the owner's genuine commitment to animal welfare. Three complaints surface: facility cleanliness, an alleged injury, and the requirement to schedule a separate pre-surgery wellness exam rather than combining it with the procedure.

  • affordable pricing
  • compassionate, caring vet and staff
  • transparent, honest communication
  • follow-up care calls
  • excellent spay/neuter and dental work

Broadview Animal Clinic

4.5(2750)✓ VerifiedPublishes prices

Broadview earns strong loyalty from long-term clients who value the knowledgeable staff, reasonable pricing, and caring approach to anxious pets. Recent concerns centre on one veterinarian's bedside manner, front desk service gaps, and unexpected medication cost hikes that outpace industry norms. The clinic handles routine care, surgery, and dental work reliably. A longstanding team (since 1969) and named staff like Tammy earn consistent praise, though recent vet turnover and one doctor's dismissive style have pushed some clients elsewhere.
