I had my differences with Dr. Washington. I took my Old English Sheepdog in for ear infection, paid $300.00 for an office visit, ear culture and ear drops and two rounds of it did not clear it up. I asked on more than one occasion that he be prescribed something PO and he refused. Instead he wanted me to bring Bentley back in to be sedated and have more cultures done. The first ones already showed we were dealing with a yeast infection and doing additional cultures wouldn't have accomplished a thing. But, this would have run my bill up another three or four hundred dollars. All he would have done was put him on something by mouth afterwards anyway. He must not have ever heard of multi factorial coverage. I was NOT paying $600 to $700 for a simple yeast infection. He should have been put on the proper medication to begin with. I saved Bentley from having to be sedated and put through undue pain and me an additional $400.00. There's no amount of money I wouldn't spend on my little buddies health and well being. But I'm not made of money nor was I going to be taken advantage of. And that's exactly what I feel Dr. Washington tried to do. I took Bentley to a reputable Vet and he prescribed a PO antibiotic and corticosteroid along with an anti-fungal topical solution (something else he refused to give me) and his ear was better within a few days. Something Dr. Washington should have done after two failed attempts with a topical solution. He just wanted to milk me for as much as he possibly could. One thing for sure is he didn't have mine or Bentley's best interest at heart and I will never use them again. He was at great risk of developing an aura hematoma from vigorous head shaking and this yeast infection needed cleared up asap. If you can relate and feel that you are being charged excessively chances are you're right. There are a lot of good Vets out there who aren't so gung ho when it comes to hitting you with excessive bills. Check around and do your homework. You just have to find them. Believe me, your pet will thank you and so will your wallet. Totally inexcusable.

They helped my sweet cat on his trip over the Rainbow Bridge. The vets and staff there couldn't have been nicer. It has been a hard loss but Standifer's made it as easy as possible. Many thanks to them!!!

The worst boarding experience I've ever had with my dog. We were referred here by our vet because they were full for the weekend. When I picked him up, he had dry urine and feces all over his paws and legs. They were unable to give him a bath (because he was being grumpy) which I completely understand. What they never told me is that he was only let out to use the restroom twice a day. They also didn't tell me that the "kennels" are separated by chainlink fences, meaning that

We really appreciate the efforts of going above and beyond by Dr Cooley with our cat Puff! She & staff amazingly worked with Puff on his grooming so he did not have to utilize anesthesia! This is a major accomplishment since we hesitate each time before bringing him in for a Lion Cut. We would like to maintain this fur style and bring him in for this 4 times a year, and now I feel that we can do this. I feel Dr Cooley’s talent and expertise with Cats makes this possible. Thanks Dr Cooley!

The techs and Dr. Cooley were very friendly and attentive with the care of my little blind guinea pig, Rey. I highly recommend if you have an exotic pet.

Standifer has been taking care of my doggos since I moved to Birmingham. They always do whatever I request for grooming and my girls get wonderful vet care as well. The curbside service is so convenient... hope it remains an option even after the pandemic.

A month ago this place was the greatest but I can't get anyone to call me back regarding my cat Fernando's procedures to let me know how we should proceed with his care. I have found that most vet's in Birmingham treat your pets care like an animal and not a member of the family even after all the money you spend.

Not sure what all these issues are with Dr Houston & Standifer, I left my old vet of 6 years bc I almost lost a tiny puppy and they made several mistakes , I knew to pick a reliable known vet ! my pup came straight from ER vet with IV bags to Standifer , Shana the office manager , was out exactly on time , was fast, courteous and professional! She arranged to get all my animals records so I did have to deal w the stress . Of talking to a vet I was disappointed in . Dr Houston was highly recommended to me by several people I trust and though it's my first visit she had been super kind! Called me 2 times to update me , she's had time for any questions or concerns even advice about his food ( puppy is recovery from Parvo & I almost lost him due too o incompetence if another vet I won't name - they let me go he w this tiny 5 lb puppy telling me he was ready , I then was up 36 hours w a vomiting diarrhea ( 12 x!!) I one night ) I thank God I had the emergency vet then Standifer ( I had used them for a day care a few times and liked them . ) I'm super pleased with everyone I've talked to from there and I have 4 dogs! I'm a helicopter "dog mom so I'm pretty picky !

Finding a new vet was super easy with Standifer's. They were recommended by many friends and I can see why! They offered curbside pickup/dropoff, Dr. Houston was friendly and clear in explaining everything, and my sweet pup did great.
