What recent reviews say

UrgentVet earns consistent praise for same-day access, attentive vets who listen and explain treatment clearly, and staff who remain kind even with difficult patients. Several reviewers noted follow-up calls and sympathy during euthanasia. However, a handful report inflated pricing (some procedures and medications cost more than they expected urgent care to charge), missing written records, and missed diagnoses when vets did not fully examine pets during the first visit.

The business claims Fear Free Certification and operates on evening and extended hours. Their typical experience is in-and-out within 30 minutes for routine urgent cases. Noted staff include Dr. Hoppe, Dr. May, Jessica, Lela, and Sharla. Prices mentioned range from $40 to $415 per service, with strong variance in what reviewers consider fair value for urgent care.

Common questions

How quickly can I get an appointment?
Reviewers report same-day access when calling ahead, with online check-in available. One reviewer reserved a 3 p.m. spot on the day of the visit and was seen immediately.
What are the evening hours?
The business states they have operating hours later in the day, allowing help if you are at work all day, but specific closing times are not stated in the reviews.
Do you send follow-up care information?
One reviewer received a follow-up phone call the next day. However, another reviewer reported receiving no written exam paperwork or post-care instructions, so written documentation appears inconsistent.

Belleview draws loyal clients who value Dr. Mike's hands-on care and willingness to try natural approaches first. But multiple reviewers report quoted prices that jump sharply at check-in, missed diagnoses, poor post-care communication, and a front desk that dismisses complaints rather than resolving them. The gap between positive and negative experiences turns on whether basic practise operations-clear quoting, follow-up calls, staff alignment-hold up under pressure.

Most visits feel straightforward and warm. Staff know pets by name, get large or anxious animals comfortable, and get people in within days. Doctors explain options before jumping to surgery and listen to questions. But two serious concerns stand out: one dog owner reports being turned away without their animal being seen, and another describes a major surgery where post-op instructions were dangerously sparse, the dog was sent home rather than kept overnight despite complexity, and the vet dismissed signs that later may have mattered. These are isolated but sobering.

Reviewers consistently experience attentive, unhurried care from vets and staff who take time to explain treatments and follow up after appointments. Named vets (Dr. Begin, Dr. Sartori, Dr. Spadaro, Dr. Etheridge) are praised for compassion and skill across general exams, dental surgery, emergency trauma, and acupuncture, with low wait times and a calm facility atmosphere.
