Smith is the best! We had been looking for a new regular vet for our dogs for several years since the vet we used to love went out of business. We tried a couple other places in town over those few years, but had some trouble with both of them. I'm so happy that we found Smith Veterinary Hospital because they have been fantastic! The vet we saw, Kelsey Dobesh, really seemed to care about our dogs and she addressed all of our concerns. Both she and the vet tech, Marisol, were really kind and thorough. The prices seemed about the same as what I've paid at other places. I feel so much better knowing that my dogs are healthy and that I have somewhere really great to take...read full review
Our cat Remi had a respiratory infection that turned into an asthma attack and a secondary infection — he was in real danger. We brought him into urgent care and he had to spend the night. Dr. Dobesh and everyone else at Smith's was fantastic that night and the coming week, repeatedly following up with us and supervising Remi's care. He is back to his old self now. Thank you so much!
I just moved to Santa Fe a couple of weeks ago and my schnauzer mix needed to see a vet. Smith’s veterinary Hospital got an appointment for her the same day I called and now I have now signed up for them to be her Santa Fe vet. I was very pleased with the doctor and with the veterinary technicians.
