My dog was being treated here for parvo. I brought him in the first day he showed signs, so there was a high chance of survival. I opted to do inpatient treatment because I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to sufficiently care for him, and in the morning the vet said I was good to take him home. However, that night, he started vomiting. I rushed him to the emergency 24/7 vet, where he stayed another three days before passing away. I can't help but think that if he had stayed and fought the virus at van crest that he would've been okay, as he was up and walking around when I brought him home. The vets at the emergency clinic agreed that 24 hours is not anywhere near the amount of time a dog needs to be treated for parvo. He was only seven weeks old.
This was my first time at Van Crest and I couldn't have asked for a betterrible experience. The techs are very friendly and great at communicating. The Vet was very efficient, but not so quick that I felt he was just blowing through the appointment. Pricing was fair. Both my cats will be taken here anytime veterinary care is needed.
Very professional, very knowledgeable, gives most cost-effective treatment depending on diagnosis. I have taken several of my dogs to Van Crest. I had a situation with one of my female beagles having problems giving birth. After 2 hours of contractions and no puppies, I contacted Dr Chambers on a Saturday night around 9pm. He asked a few questions and then asked me to meet him at his office. I arrived at his office about 10 p.m.. He evaluated, took x-rays and gave her a shot to increasing contractions. Needless to say she deliver six healthy puppies. This was a weekend after hours call at a very reasonable fee. I'm sure you can't find that kind of service anywhere in town. I have known Dr. Chambers and his wife, who is also a veterinarian for over 13 years and have nothing but the utmost respect for them.
I absolutely love Van Crest! When we first moved to town in Aug 2016, my dog and randomly visited and asked for a tour. The staff were very welcoming and the facilities were very clean. My poodle had his first visit in Feb 2017, and Dr.(Mrs.) Chambers and the vet techs were so nice, gentle, and thorough. Dr. Chambers answered all of my questions and cleared up all concerns that I brought up about my dog's care. A few weeks later, my dog was ill and had an emergency appt. After a few tests and treatment, my pup was back to normal in a few hours. One thing I love about Van Crest is that they review the cost of services before they do anything and make sure that you agree with the services! I've moved around quite a bit and have visited many vets, and this type practice is a gem! Also, once you're a patient, Van Crest will price match supplies, including flea/tick meds. I would recommend Van Crest to anyone seeking vet care!
Brought my cat in because he was urinating and defecating uncontrollably. Both visits cost me over $500, they treated him with pain meds saying that his back hurt him. They didn't do any blood or urine testing. Took him to another vet and turns out he had a bladder infection and pancreatitis. The staff was nice and caring but I question their knowledge and whether they actually want to help vs take your money.
