The staff are very professional and kind. Making appointments is so easy and they took great care of our dog. Reasonably priced and they got us in so very quickly.

Every employee I encountered was kind, helpful, and professional. I appreciated all the options that were presented to me regarding the care of my cat. So glad I found this practice!

After being a client under previous ownership Dr Hastings, we began services with Dr Johnston with our new puppy. From the first visit, a mix up in scheduling occurred. The office manager Is less than cooperative and extremely confrontational. We only continued as a client because of the groomer, Kelly. She is excellent. After a recent visit with again a scheduling conflict the office manager became confrontational. We decided our puppy would be a better served elsewhere.

It is easy to make an appointment as a new client and the desk staff are very friendly and efficient. It is usually so hard to get an appointment these days, but they managed to get us in a week out from my call. The vet-tech made my Sammie feel relaxed enough to come out of his kennel and sniff around. A few days after our visit we got a follow-up post card and an email checking in to make sure that our experience was a good one. I highly recommend this neighborhood vet!

I took my 12 year old pitbull to another veterinarian location who I will not name, and they prescribed him some antibiotics because they thought he had a respiratory infection. That was in April, 2023. I took him to this vet when I saw my dog not laying down. I heard crackling in his voice and knew there was fluid in his lungs. Within 3 days they made an appointment and sadly, after an X-ray they doc told me my dog had terminal cancer with a life expectancy of 1-2 weeks. I broke down crying of course but the doc was patient and understanding. He prescribed some steroids and I was on my way. I put my dog down the very next day via an at home euthenasia service. I think about my dog everyday and wish he had gotten an x ray months prior. Needless to say the experience at this vet was good all things considered. I haven't gotten a new dog yet, but when I do, I will bring them here.

This was my first visit to Independence Veterinary Hospital & I am very happy with how personable, professional, & dedicated the staff is to their patients. I took my dog in because he was not feeling well, eating & not being his typical upbeat self for a few days. After evaluations & running labs with Noah & Dr. Kier; I really appreciated how gentle they were with Brutus & how they really listened to everything we had to say. We ran over possible routes to take for Brutus recovery journey & I love how thorough he was throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend this vet to anyone who has a pet of their own. I intend to take Brutus & my cat (Captain) to this hospital from now on.

Dr. Smithwick is the best! Maggie and Daisy are fortunate to have the care she continually provides. Her professionalism and knowledge is only superseded by her bedside manner for our girls. Daisy would not be alive today if it weren't for her.

The staff was exceptionally kind and knowledgeable, they take the time to get to know you and your pet to ensure that you get the appropriate care. The doctors are also awesome, very caring and make sure you understand what they are doing and why. I have four fur babies and they take excellent care of them.

My normal vet was unable to see my dog Achilles, who wasn't feeling well. I started calling every veterinarian in the area trying to get him seen. I ended up calling Independence Veterinarian Hospital, and was able to be seen right away. Dr. Johnston was so caring and knowledgeable, he personally followed up on Achilles the next day! He took his time, I never once felt rushed. After receiving such extraordinary care,I have decided to make him our new veterinarian.

I can be neurotic when it comes to my little baby Moses. A friend of mine recommended this place to me when my previous vet tried to charge me too much money for a surgery and I will never forget the phone call I made to this place. I spoke with Janise who is a part of their front desk team and she had not left my side from the beginning. The effort she puts in to show how much she cared about not only my baby but the effort she showed that she cares about me too and that’s important. The rest of the staff including the doctor are caring and they take their time. I highly recommend to everyone who appreciates hospitality. I am forever grateful for Janise, the doctors and the entire staff. Thank you for saving my Moses.

I cannot say enough good things about Independence Vet!! I came with my 1 year old son & our very timid dog. The nurse was so accommodating and let us wait in our car and then came and helped us get our dog out of the car, she was super sweet! Dr. Kier was so nice and knowledgeable. He sat down on the floor with my dog to make him feel more comfortable. Everything is 10x harder with a toddler and they just made my experience so much less stressful & super pleasant! I will be bringing all of our animals here!
