About Smith Veterinary Hospital, A Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner

Smith Veterinary Hospital, a Thrive Pet Healthcare Partner, has been providing professional animal care to Santa Fe area pets since 1946. The hospital offers walk-in service and is open daily, with a brief closure for patient intake. The staff, including doctors and nurses, are highly praised for their attention to detail, valuable advice, and compassionate care. Despite a large case load, the hospital provides quality care and emergency treatment for pets. Clients appreciate the hospital's willingness to accommodate critically ill animals and provide emotional support.

The hospital's doctors are described as wonderful practitioners, educators, and caregivers. Vet techs and Dr. Hunter were very attentive and caring, taking time to explain procedures and care plans. Dr. Dobesh provides excellent care, and Dr. De La Torre took great care of a dog during a wellness check, diagnosing an issue that could be easily treated with early care. The staff is very kind and caring, and the check-in process is easy with brief wait times.

Smith vet was highly recommended. I was able to get in right away and have the dental surgery. Dr. Kelsey was empathetic and very competent. My cat came home in good spirits. I had a nice follow up call the next day. My cat was diagnosed properly and taken care of.

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!
