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 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.

Ballston Animal Hospital is Awesome Excellent!! I've been taking my dog to BAH for several years now and give Dr. Collins my highest recommendation. Recently my dog had surgery and Dr. Collins was excellent at explaining the procedure, possible outcome, and he even called me over the weekend to check up on my pet. He is knowledgeable, professional and really cares about his patients. Also, I love the new office decor! Thanks to BAH for taking great care of Cookie!

Very happy Ballston Animal Hospital has been taking care of my dog Cody for around 2 years now and I have been very happy with the staff, especially Dr. Collins. We've only had one emergency, but it was pretty scary and the schedule was booked solid. Dr. Collins suggested we leave Cody for a few hours and they managed to squeak him in between appointments within an hour. Cody was fine but the family was so relived that we were able to get him in that day. Dr. Collins called to check on Max several times to make sure all was ... read more

Was Reprimanded by the Receptionist First it was very difficult to actually get an appointment. When I showed up this morning with my sick dog I was 5 minutes late. After I filled out the page of paperwork I was told that I would have to reschedule because they didn't have enough time to see us. I was the only one in the waiting area. They offered to have me come in at a later time in the day, but eventually rescheduled for Monday. If my dog was really sick these 5 days in between could be very detrimental. The receptionist ... 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.

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

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

Ballston is the best! I've been going to Ballston Animal Hospital for 4 years and just brought in my new puppy and the stafff was wonderful. My pup really liked Dr. Collins who was extremely patient with all of the questions I had (and I had a lot of them!) even though the clinic was very busy. I will always recommend Ballston Animal Hospital to my friends.
