Northwest Veterinary

I have never been happier with a Veterinarian or there office then I was at NW Vet Hospital

I have had a lot of experience with vet clinics since my 15 year old cat Monk has been diabetic for 6 years and must receive constant care at home and by a Dr's office. In addition to my cat i also have a 3 year old dog that needs basic care. I've lived a few different places in my adult life and have had to find Vets in each new location. It took some trying but overall I have been fairly happy with the vets i chose.

"Fairly happy" is not at all how i would describe my feelings for NW Vet Hospital. This office, Dr Phillips and the rest of the staff are AMAZING. I have never felt like my animals were receiving better care nor had i trusted anyone with my animals as much as i did them. Everyone there is wonderful to work with no matter what the situation. My animals were treated with love and compassion making their experiences pleasant. I was also treated well. I was welcomed by name in the clinic every time I entered, as were my animals. People would hear my cats name and come out front just to say hi, pet him, or hold him. When i came in with just one animal they would ask about the pet at home. The staff always made fallow up calls to check on my pets after a visit. If the visit was for something more serious Dr Phillips would call as well. He showed true care for my animals. NW Vet Hospitals costs are fair and you can always get an apt within a very reasonable amount of time. Dr Phillips has proven to be a skilled Veterinarian whom I trust completely. The assistants have also surprised me with their skill and way with animals. I loved working with a single Vet instead of anyone who is available. Dr Phillips got to know me and my pet well making working together a pleasant experience and more effective.
I cannot say enough about how great I think this clinic is or Dr Phillips himself. No matter where I lived in the Austin area I would still make the drive to their office. Even if their prices were hi (which there not) the exemplary service they provide would be well worth it.

Not just for your benifit but your pets as well you should give NW Veterinary Clinic a try.

Dr. Julianne Phillips is an Angel!

I brought my puppy in after I was horrified to find one tick after another. We had just gotten her from a breeder. They were able to get me in right away and Dr. Phillips patiently pulled out about 17! I was mortified. Because she had so many on her, he prescribed some medication just in case.

He is very calm, gentle, and patient. He has become her regular vet and I have brought her back for all her vaccinations and spay surgery. I had a lot of questions for him and he so patiently answered all of them and made me feel like I was right to have concerns. She did very well after the surgery and you can barely see the scar. With any concerns we had, he was very responsive. We have also boarded her there as well. I am comforted that he keeps an eye on them. For instance, I didn't know that I was overfeeding her (a common mistake), and he was able to give me some advice so that she does not develop a weight problem which brings with it other health complications.

My dog may not like the experience of going to vet. (Who does like being poked and proded?), but she loves Dr. Phillips. I am very touched to see that he is affectionate with her as well. This is really nice for a dog owner to see. I would recommend him in a heartbeat!

These five stars go directly to Dr Robert Rhyne. I cannot vouch for the other vets in this office.

I have had the pleasure of taking all of my animals to Dr Rhyne for 8 years. He is consistently diligent, gentle, compassionate, informative, and most importantly he truly cares. He speaks in laymen terms and is never impatient with the 10,001 questions I ask just about every time I take my animal in. He is always available for questions - even outside of office visits. I still remember the time my Jesse was beginning a treatment that was intensive and it required extremely close monitoring - Dr Rhyne gave me his home number to call in case there were any problems. I am convinced I will not ever encounter another vet quite like this. He is the kind of person that exudes warmth and comfort, yet he seems to find a way for soft humor that even in the worst times bring a smile.

Dr Rhyne is honestly one of the most wonderful vets, men and people I know. I think I'd ask him to marry me ... if he wasn't already married ..... and if I was straight.
