What recent reviews say

Most visits feel unhurried and attentive. Staff and vets (particularly Dr. Leach) take time to understand each pet's needs, answer questions without pressure to buy unnecessary services, and conduct thorough exams. Recent five-star reviews consistently praise the team's warmth and expertise with multi-pet households and long-term care. A small number of older complaints describe missed diagnoses and rough handling; the clinic's recent direction under current leadership drew one long-term client's concerns, though recent visits continue to earn five-star ratings.

Reviewers across ages and pet types find the clinic thorough but accessible. Dr. Leach and Dr. Naylor (retired) have each built strong followings. Many clients mention staying for years or returning after moves away. The clinic performs its own radiographs, ultrasound imaging, and dental procedures on site, so referrals out are less common than some alternatives.

Common questions

Does Brushy Creek handle anxious pets?
Yes; staff and Dr. Leach are described as making nervous pets comfortable during exams. A very old complaint (2015-2021) described rough handling by one technician, but this does not appear in recent reviews. Ask about their approach when you call.
Do I need to go elsewhere for X-rays or dental work?
No. The clinic performs dental radiographs, full-body radiographs (chest, abdomen, spine, limbs), and offers comprehensive oral health assessment and treatment on site.
Does the clinic push unnecessary treatments?
Reviewers consistently note that staff and vets answer questions without pressure to buy non-essentials. Multiple clients mention this as a strength.

4.3(12)

Dr. Grimm and Dr. Kingston earn strong praise for patience with nervous animals and careful treatment, but recent reviews flag front desk problems: unauthorized charges delayed days after appointments, and confusing phone scheduling that frustrated at least one paying client. Staff attitudes toward patient questions have also drawn complaint.
