The most wonderful Vets!!! – I feel so lucky to have found this clinic. Both Dr. Wood sr. and Dr. Wood Jr. are truly wonderful, compassionate, caring, personable, knowledgable, available and overall just fabulous. I feel so lucky to have them as my vet. I actually live on the opposite side of town toward southwest austin and nevertheless drive all the way north just to be able to see them. Everytime I have called with an issue the staff has had the doctors call me and talk to me personally and this has happened numerous time... read more

You Can Stop Searching...This is The Place – I had a dog for 12 years. Had him through High School, College and a few years after. He was my baby pie! I started taking him to Balcones during the "golden years" of his life and the treatment they provided was beyond excellent. He had gone blind with glaucoma and had an eye removed at one point. These folks were there every step of the way. When it came time to let my Jake go, I couldn't imagine another vet in the room when that had to happen. They were so caring and supportive... read more

I would never take my pet anywhere else – We've been taking our boston terrier to Dr. Woods since 2003. They always find time to squeeze her in and I know that I'll be given options, and not just forced into the most expensive treatment. They are always affordable even without the coupons other clinics send you in the mail. Because of my satisfaction with Balcones Animal Hospital, I have referred my mom there for her cat and one of my best friends there for her two min pins.

Great service for dogs and people. – We chose Dr. Wood on the recommendation of a friend and have had a great experience so far. All the staff (vets and techs) are genuinely caring, kind and gentle toward animals, and really respectful towards their customers too. Their services are affordable, and they'll be honest if you don't really need to buy a product or service (he told us we could actually wait another 6 mos to clean our dog's teeth). Dr. Wood is kind of "old school" -- he spends as much time as needed with each cust... read more

Great Vet – Dr. Wood is great. He has been helping me ship my animal internationally and has made great recommendations for a smooth transfer. Dr Wood is very patient and answered all questions I had about my cat even though I was a new and inexperienced pet owner. I will miss the Balcones Animal Hospital when I move. I definitely recommend Dr. Wood.

Great vet clinic – After having several negative experiences with another vet clinic in my area, I tried Balcones Animal Hospital based on City Search reviews. Wow, very impressive. I thought my dog might need her teeth cleaned but Dr. Wood recommended waiting and said they were in better shape than I thought. He told the truth instead of taking advantage of an opportunity to make money on unnecessary services. They weren't pushy, didn't recommend extra products or services, and were very friendly. I will definitely be back.

Awesome Vet!! – I've taken my puppy there twice. Once just for his checkup and while there Dr. Wood and his techs were very professional but at the same time very personal. He allowed me the time to answer the several questions I had as a new puppy owner. He's also not opposed to doing new things. What I mean by that is the new Titers testing which allows your dog fewer vaccinations throughout their lifetime (yeah, that's good for me). Some vets will NOT go by this new protocol. He has a genuine concern for the health and we... read more

The best in Texas - for real – I have been clients of these guys for years. Today I get home, look through my mail, and see that I have my August 2006 Texas Monthly copy. As I skim through it, I come across the "Best Veterinary Hospitals in Texas" list on p. 153. Sure enough, Balcones Animal Hospital was the only Austin vet office listed! Looks like many others agree that I've been going to the right vets all along.

Terrific Vet! – We have been taking our pets to this vet for several years. One dog is very old, and thus high-maintenance medically but the staff helps us to keep the cost down on his medications as much as possible. The father/son vets are very knowledgeable and you can tell they really care as much as we do about our pet's health. I don't know about the previous comment on getting a dog neutered, but our experiences with getting our dogs and cats fixed there was very good. The preventative and follow-up care is terrific, ... read more
