Animal Medical Center of Austin

4.7(390)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Most reviewers praise the clinic's experienced veterinarians-particularly Drs. Gregg and Loretta Farmer-for thorough exams, clear explanations, and genuine compassion with both anxious pets and grieving owners. Staff are consistently described as patient and warm, and the remodeled facility includes dedicated cat rooms and stays clean. Online scheduling is straightforward, and many note that prices remain competitive for the quality offered. However, recent reviews surface friction: one long-time client saw prices triple after new ownership took over; another faced a medication authorization caught in the AI phone system and was told a temporary vet's case couldn't be managed by other staff. These suggest growing pains as the clinic scales. End-of-life care draws repeated five-star praise, and senior pet management under Dr. Farmer's care has earned devoted followers.
