What recent reviews say

Modern Animal South Lamar earns trust through unhurried, clear communication and genuine attention to nervous animals. Reviewers consistently praise named vets Dr. Mo, Dr. Reeves, and Dr. Weaver for explaining care step-by-step without pushing extra services, and for calming even the most skittish pets. Staff follow up after procedures and remember regulars by name.

One sharp complaint from a month ago flagged refusal to see an uninsured pet with a raw skin wound in apparent distress. Recent reviews (past two weeks) show no recurrence of access concerns, focusing instead on membership affordability, the app's ease of use, and dedicated care pathways like a back entrance for anxious cats.

Honnas Veterinary

Individual staff members earn consistent praise for patience, attentiveness, and authentic care that puts nervous pets at ease. Reviewers highlight cleanliness, quick appointment access, and transparent billing; several note that management rigidly applies charges and pricing that competes poorly against low-cost alternatives like City Vet and Chewy. The clinic's website claims AAHA accreditation, Fear Free certification, and female ownership; newer reviews emphasize veterinarians (Dr. Honnas, Dr. Valdez, Dr. Wang, Dr. Thornley) and technicians (Sean, Nick, Sky, Atziri) who go beyond standard care. Older complaints about medication markup remain current; one recent two-star review cited a $145 medication available elsewhere for $45.
