Uptown vet is by far the best vet clinic I have ever gone to. We moved an hour and a half away and make the trip back for our pets care. The Docs are true healers (no pun intended) and care as much about your companion as you do. The staff is amazing too. They still talk to us about our Dane that passed away years ago and remember him by name. To me that is amazing. Their rates are also very affordable. The atmosphere is a home setting. What is there not to love?

Best Vet My Pets Ever Had – I also had great experiences with Uptown Vet!! A home-like atmosphere, respectful staff, fantastic care!! You really know that these people care about animals! Whoever complained about money issues has no idea what they are talking about. I brought my older cat in as an emergency--he is diabetic and was suffering from diabetic ketoid acidosis (DKA is often fatal). Dr. Smith urged me to bring him to U of M's emergency vet ward. Not only that, they did not charge me for this visit--any other place w... read more

LOVE this clinic! – I have gone to several different clinics in the metro area and Uptown Vet is by far the one I like the most. The staff and doctors talk to me like I'm a real person; they take the time to explain things to me and are seem truly concernced about all my pets. I read some of the negative reviews on here and they made no sense to me because this vet does not look at your pet as a "cash cow". In fact, Dr Smith has made recommendations to me for cheaper medication alternatives (generics) and has never tried pus... read more

back when the uptown veterinarian was a holistic veterinary practice, there were some mean staff who were nice to the animals but snotty to the people. since it has changed hands, i've really liked the staff under dr. julie smith - until recently. there is now one veterinary assistant who is a real snot. i don't know her name, but she has long dyed red hair. she snubs you and makes sarcastic faces, which is not what you need when you are already upset because you have a sick dog. i don't know if the attitude problems stem fr... read more

Highly Recommend! – I have three cats, all over the age of 11, and they've been going to Uptown Vet their entire lives. From kitten to now geriatric cat, everyone has been helpful and compassionate. Our oldest cat has diabetes and hyperthyroidism. My husband and I were scared and upset and both Dr. Smith and Dr. Cartledge have been great. They're both compassionate and very thorough with explanations both in person and over the phone. I've never had a negative experience at all.

Please DO NOT use this vet clinic! – I am so very disappointed with everyone on this staff. Being close to my home I have taken my cats here for years, and I have endured their rude, heartless manner long enough! I called to simply get an antibiotic for my 18 year old fiv ridden cat as he has a tooth infection. Being too old for surgery I wanted to lighten his pain some. They not only refused rudely, when I asked if they could recommend alternatives they just kept repeating 'we cannot give advice without seeing him'. Guess t... read more

Not compassionate at all. – Our cat was diagnosed with kidney failure by this place. We followed all their recommendations, we had all the tests, we did the low protien food and thrice a week IV fluids. They told us that we need to plan for end of life for our cat. The day came when we knew he had no more quality of life left and we called to get a sedative for him so when we brought him in to be euthanized, his last hours wouldn't be terror stricken. The vet wouldn't even get on the phone. He relayed this message via the re... read more

The best vet in the city – I have been taking my animals (both cats and dogs) to this vet for over 11 years...they are caring, compassionate, and most importantly skilled in the care of animals. Each time I have brough my dog or cats into the clinic I have received a follow up call within a day or two to find out how my guys are doing. All of the staff are incredible with my animals and you just know that they really care about each one of them. I have been through all the life stages of my pets (from bringing them home as b... read more
