They are GREAT! Both of my dogs are rescues & one of them is VERY timid around new people especially males. However, the male vet that helped us was very patient, understanding and kind to her. All of the female staff that helped her were amazing too. They were all patient even though they probably had a full schedule that day. Never once felt rushed. My dog had something going on with her skin and within a day of using the prescription they gave her, her coat was 100x better. She has never looked so good and she is finally enjoying her life without being itchy.

We've been going here since our dog was a puppy (3 years now) ! and when we added our cat to the family she started going here as well ! They provide excellent care for both of our fur babies and are usually very prompt. The only instance that they didn't see us on time, they were very busy and ended up discounting our visit as an apology! We love Deschutes. They're not incredibly expensive (i'm in college so i have a tight budget), but i will say that their spays and neuters are out of our price range so we ended up taking them to the spay and neuter clinic in tacoma.

For years my dog received vet services from this clinic. In September 2020, our 14 year old dog passed away due to old age with the assistance of a veterinarian we had never met before.

Two months later, I called to ask about the paw print and was told I could pick it up anytime. My discontent about this clinic is that no one from the clinic ever called us after we made the heartbreaking decision to let our beloved pet pass in a humane way. I also called in February 2021 to and left a message for someone to call me back about the dog...read full review
