Ballston Animal Hospital is terrific! I've had to call them for routine appointmnts and emergency appointments for my cats, and they have always tried to fit me in. I've never been told that they do not have space when there is an emergency situation. An office visit costs $68, which may seem a little pricey, but I appreciate their care and expertise. They have taken excellent care of my cat before, during, and after a surgery.
Amber R. I can't believe some of the negative reviews written about Ballston Animal Hospital. Dr. Gretchen Tripp is an exceptional doctor and treats her patients and their families with the utmost compassion and dignity. After my fifteen year old dog lost her battle with renal failure and cancer, Dr. Tripp came to our home to euthanize her. I am so grateful that she offered to do this, so my dear, sweet dog didn't have to suffer or be afraid. The vet techs are wonderful, especially Tony and all of the staff including the rec... read more
Ballston Animal Hospital I took my cat here recently after the cat contracted an illness. I was able to get an appointment that day which really surprised me. The doctor and their staff were great. They prescribed some medication that restored my pets health. The bill was very pricey and that might prevent me from going here again but the service overall was spectacular.
DON"T TAKE YOUR PETS HERE! Ballston Animal Hospital is not a place for your pet! If you can schedule your pets illness, than this place is ok. However, if your pet suddenly becomes ill, they will never, I mean NEVER fit you in! This has happened now to me twice! What kind of vet doesn't take sick pets? Also, once I stopped taking my pet to Ballston Animal Hospital I now know they charge 3X as much as other vets. BEWARE OF THIS PLACE, DON'T TAKE YOUR PETS HERE! PROS: CONS: 3x as much as other vets....will not fit your sick pe... read more
Not good for an emergency I had taken my dog to Ballston Animal hospital for years and was always satisfied with the care. A few months ago my dog became ill suddenly and I called them for an emergency. I begged because I live right right down the block -- they said no no no no there were no more appointmentst that day, even though I called at 11am. I was very clear that this was critical. I finally found another VET to take my dog in. The vet worked valiently but because of the time delay in trying to find another vet, my d... read more
Un-proffessionial management and staff They will persuade you to run all type of bloodwork and other tests on your animals, then refer you to emergency care, when they should have in the first place. Not one of their veterinary technicians is licscenced and management is constantly changing to someone with less experience, who does not treat all employees the same. They constantly are changing staff and will terminate an employee at the drop of a hat. In the past they have terminated employees because of medical reasons and ... read more
very happy I've taken my dog to Ballston Animal Hospital for a few years and am very pleased with the care that the staff have given my pet. I have noticed a change in staff at the front desk but it seems to me like the new people hired on are knowledgeable about pet care and really excel at customer service. They have also made some improvements to the exterior and interior of the clinic and the place looks great.
Good care I've had excellent success with Ballston Animal Hospital for all the regular vet needs for my dogs. The vets and staff are professional and thorough. They've even gone above and beyond to diagnose rare conditions for both dogs. Understand, however, that they are not set up to handle emergencies. If you have an emergency, ask them for an immediate referral to the Hope Center (Vienna) or South Paws. Both of those vet hospitals are set up for 24 hour emergency care and both have excellent vets and staff. The Ballston ... read more
chinaca We love Dr. Gretchen Tripp. I found the staff there professional and helpful. Our sweet cat, Annie had to go in for a dental. Dr. Tripp was gentle with her and called us back right after the work was done. She also called us to follow up on Annie. The technicians were very caring and thorough. We will definitely stick with BAH.
