I was very happy with my experience at Sunnyside Veterinary Hospital yesterday. Dr Haveman and staff were great and he really knows a lot about chickens. Its hard to find a vet who will even see chickens. It was not expensive and he really spent a long time with my hen.

Not recommended. "Happy Valley Vet" is just down the road, and much better (so far, I've only been there once). The vets at Sunnyside are very pushy and have questionable advice. Specifically, one of my cats has had UI tract infections and so he has prescription food. These guys didn't want to fill it, they wanted him to go off it (which we've done before and he promptly developed another blockage which required surgery to save his life), and maybe would do a new prescription after a new evaluation (and thereby charging us money for that service). This same cat also happened to need a haircut, and although we negotiated around it, apparently their usual protocol is to completely anesthetise the cat before grooming. Seriously, what is up with that...?

Dr. Haveman and his staff provide top notch care and service. The environment is comfortable. The office is clean. No crazy smells. All the office animals were well behaved. Although I would agree the prices aren't the cheapest...you get what you pay for. SVH isn't the most expensive either. But, at SVH, it is worth the cost. Accommodating. Experienced. And I didn't feel like anything I was told was bogus. We priced the medicines online, and they were comparable to the office rates. I can't say enough good things about SVH and Dr. Haveman. 5 star care and service. On a separate note, we recommended SVH to a family memeber. Their dog had an allergy and it was out of control....for years. The dog had been taken to multiple vets to find the issue. Changed food. Changed beds. Cleaned everything. Even went to a vet that said they specialized in skin allergies. After multiple visits, medications....nothing worked. Until they went to see Dr. Haveman. His diagnosis and treatment was the cure. In a market that extorts people's emotional attachment to their animals for money, it's nice to have a doctor and staff at an animal hospital you can trust.

Do not recommend. Vet does not listen to your concerns and preferences. A bit arrogant and disrespectful. I think that you can do better by you and your animals! The front desk staff was rude and incompetent, too, which is a huge deal breaker for me!!

Very comfortable environment, kind of old school. I love the huge yard to walk the dog before our appointment. Staff is very informative and helpful, they really helped me with all the options i was looking at for my dog. The prices are not the cheapest (why i chose 4 instead of 5 stars), but i think the care is worth the price.
