2222 Veterinary Clinic

2222 Veterinary Clinic

4.8(467)✓ Google-verified

Most owners see 2222 as their go-to clinic for the personalized care and clinical expertise they bring to routine visits, emergencies, and complex surgical cases. Dr. Frank Metzler's willingness to invest time in diagnosis, perform intricate procedures like internal stitching, and walk families through end-of-life decisions stands out. The team handles anxious cats and dogs with visible patience. Recent reviews show strain: a handful of owners report dropped follow-ups on serious concerns, front-desk scheduling slip-ups, and missed communication after procedures, though the clinic has addressed some staff issues. The clinic offers boarding, dental work, pain management, rehabilitation, and full pharmacy services across Austin and West Austin. Their 4.8 average across 467 reviews reflects strong technical reputation tempered by a small but vocal group frustrated by what they saw as missed diagnoses or dismissal of symptoms that later proved serious.

VCA Lakeline Animal Hospital

4.5(236)✓ Google-verified

VCA Lakeline earns consistent praise for compassionate care, especially during euthanasia and emergencies. Dr. Mong is frequently named as attentive and responsive. Staff remember clients and squeeze in walk-ins without judgment. A recent concern: some reviewers find technicians presenting optional services confusing, preferring clear vet recommendations instead. One flagged a $200 hyperthyroid panel as potentially overpriced.

Ace of Spays

Ace of Spays

5.0(162)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Ace of Spays earns consistent five-star reviews for surgical skill and affordability. Reviewers describe Dr. Helmueller's team as genuinely attentive, calming anxious pets, and keeping owners informed throughout procedures. Costs run one-third to one-half what emergency hospitals quote for the same work, with staff texting updates and checking in post-op. Recent reviews highlight same-day emergency intake (urinary blockages, closed pyometra) and complex mass removals that other vets decline. One one-star review raises a concern about post-operative protocols: after cystotomy and PU surgeries on a cat with urinary issues, the clinic did not recommend 24-hour monitoring, and the animal died four days later. Most recent reviews (the past month) do not reflect this concern, though it signals a gap some owners should know about before committing high-risk cases.
