Me and my dog are unfriendly, and everyone there at the clinic was so nice and friendly that this was a very pleasant experience getting the care my dog needed at great price! Thank all of you at Southside Vet.!
Dr. Kilpatrick treated my chronically ill cat for several years, always clearly explaining options and never making me feel pressured into unnecessary, expensive work-ups or treatments.
When the time came to put the cat to rest, Dr. Kilpatrick’s staff was extremely accommodating. The doctor himself was a great comfort during that difficult appointment.
Staff is always friendly and helpful. They helped me find a vet to care for my goats. Dr Kilpatrick always takes the time to sit down and explain Sadie's condition as well as optional treatments. I trust Southside and their care. They don't try to sell you anything and help to keep treatment within my budget.
