We absolutely love this vet! It's fully staffed and they're all wonderful with animals. Dr. Carlson & Dr. Shannon are knowledgeable and friendly. The vet techs and assistants are welcoming and calm with our dogs. The The office and exams are always very clean. It's very clear this is a group of people who really get how important our pets are!

I needed to find a veterinarian clinic for our dogs since moving to Iowa for their health check up and immunizations and in order to have them stay at a kennel when I'm traveling out of town. I made an appointment at Veterinarian Associates in Iowa City as the waiting time for new customers wasn't too long.The clinic staff was excellent and very friendly, polite, and professional. The technician truly enjoys dogs and made our dogs feel very comfortable and at ease. The veterinarian was also great and had a great bedside manner while examining our dogs. In addition to getting updated vaccinations, the veterinarian completed a physical exam for both dogs.The costs for the physical exams and immunization was very reasonable and the clinic also sent the immunization records to the kennel I will be using for our dogs. Although Veterinarian Associates is a little further away from where we live and there are some clinics closer, I was very pleased with them and will continue to take our dogs to Veterinarian Associates in the future.

Veterinary Associates has provided my golden the best, affordable care in iowa city for 2 years now. He recently ingested some medicine he wasn’t supposed to and when I called to ask for advice they were so patient and helpful. They even called the next day to ask how he was doing. I really appreciate that any time my dog needs some type of medication or new food, they always walk me through all of the potential options, instead of just recommending the most expensive one like many vets do. I will continue to trust them with my fur baby.

Old building, but the people were very nice and caring for my pet. The male Veterinarian was awesome. He was very thorough and sensitive to my pets needs.

This place is amazing. My cat has had bladder issues twice this month, and with a new animal at a new vet, I was pretty nervous. Their staff was incredibly kind and welcoming. This morning I had to take him in, got him sorted with meds, but a few hours later he wasn't doing too well. After I called them with a million questions, they asked us to bring him back in just to double check. They answered all of my many questions about what to do for my cat and did not charge us for the second visit. You can tell that these folks go out of their way to make sure you are informed and that your animal has a calm experience. The level of service they have provided makes me feel as though my concerns about an animal I care so much about are genuinely their concerns as well. I cannot thank this staff enough for all the help they have given me with my little guy.

I was taking my dog to Tender Care in Coralville. They ran over $500 in diagnostic tests and told me she had stomach cancer. I got a second opinion at Vet Associates on the same day and they immediately diagnosed her with GERD without having to run any tests, put her on Pepcid for two days, and all of her issues went away. They saved my dog from a misdiagnosis and having to be put down.

The staff squeezed us in on short notice and were incredibly kind and informative. My cat loved them (was purring and flirting with them even while she got a shot!) and the doctor included my son in the exam. Afterward, he played vet for an hour with his toys in his room. Thank you to this wonderful clinic.

I could not have possibly had a worse experience -- when I moved to Iowa City, I already knew that my cat had thyroid disease, and it was increasingly obvious that her symptoms were getting worse. The Drs at Veterinary Associates refused to do anything about it, chalking it up to "old age" and nothing more. When I went to a new vet, they did the same bloodwork they did at VA and saw we needed to up her medicine dosage 5X! This was entirely a matter of neglect, and they didn't take action simply because she is an older cat. If you can go anywhere else, I would highly suggest that you do.

If I could give this place a zero I would. They went back to curbside pick up for office visit and the newest employee Abby came out and reached right for my dog without letting him sniff her to know it’s safe. Leo cried in fear. She wasn’t close enough to feel his fur yet and she lied and said he bit her. She stayed she was going to get a muzzle and I said” I don’t like that”. With a snooty voice she said “well I’m not getting bit”. I said “I will not be doing business here “and walked away. I called the vet office to tell them about my experience Tracy was wonderful and showed concern to my experience. The next lady who got on the phone stated that Abby said he bit her which again was not true. She no longer cared what I had to say. If you could go to any other vet I advice you to bc your pet is not safe with the newest staff.

The doctors and others who work on your pet are great! There is one receptionist who isn't the nicest and who forgot to put in an appointment I booked over the phone. I was put off a little by her rudeness, which is disappointing since I've loved their vet for the past year. I highly recommend this vet, but if you speak with this woman please know the rest of the staff isn't like that!

This is the only place I will take my dogs after trying several local vets. Dr. Carlson is very straightforward about pricing and has always worked with me to determine what's necessary vs precautionary before doing anything so I don't get charged for a bunch of random things I can't understand.

Great Team. I’ve called several vet clinics before being referred to them. I was nervous as a time dog owner. Heather made me feel so much better. While my Princesss Bee was being seeing, the doctor answered all my questions and was very patient.
