Went in for an appointment at 10.30am and was finally seen about 11. As well the doctor looked like a hippy reject from the country fair. Bad teeth and just an overall poor presentation of what a professional doctor should look like. All of that aside, I went in to have my dogs toe looked at. It had a growth under the toe nail that would not heal. I wanted to see what it would cost to get it fixed. The Dr. looked at the toe nail and stated quite flatly that the toe nail needed to be removed. I asked if that was a little extreme and the Dr. said "he will be fine with 3 toe nails" I also wanted to know how much to get the dogs teeth cleaned. After a brief 5 minute exam I was told that if I had both services performed at the same time it would cost right around $900 dollars. Really? Thinking that this was a bit much I took my dog to the Vista Pet hospital in SW Portland. This place actually took the dog and looked at his toes under a magnifier and determined that it was a growth that could be removed. Cost for the service was $160. Cleaning of the teeth was another $175. As well the appointment was started when it was set. On time. In closing my dog still has ALL of his toe nails and I saved $600. Don't waste your time or money at this place.

Great place, friendly staff. Been going there for years with all my dogs and never had one complaint.

Do not come here. Have only had very bad experiences with this place. They will tell you one thing, then they will tell you another thing completely opposite of what they origionally told you. Poor customer service and the lady started impatiently raising her voice on the phone with me when I called to ask a question. Would not advise you to go here, you will have better luck with another vet near by.

Verdict is out still- I have gone there twice. I knew my cat needed amoxicillian for a really bad cold and upper respitory infection. But the vet, though nice, tried to sell me all these weird tests that I didnt want. Talking about allergies, fur in his upper throat....I got the amoxicillan the next day when BASIC lab tests confirmed what I knew. But my kitty had to suffer another day waiting. Hmmmm. Nice people- not understanding their mission statement.

Damascus Vet is well worth driving to Damascus. The staff is extremely helpful and just by walking in you can tell how much they love animals. You get in quickly and hardly seem to have to wait at all in the waiting room. My kitten had a cold and they day I called I got in and walked out with medicine, without the vet having to do costly blood tests. They know animals so well they will not do unnecessary tests like the other, more expensive clinics. A day after seeing the vets and two doses of meds later, my little one is already starting to feel better! I recommend this clinic to anyone who loves their pets because Damascus Veterinary Clinic loves them as much as you do!!!
