What recent reviews say

Most reviews praise Dr. Engle's knowledge and genuine care, noting he takes time with each animal and avoids pushing unnecessary tests. Staff earn consistent mention for calm, friendly service even during emergencies. Pricing stands out as far cheaper than competitor urgent-care clinics.

Named technician Heather helped calm a nervous first-time patient. The clinic has fitted emergency walk-ins within minutes on surgery days. Reviewers familiar with other vets or medical professionals specifically attest to this clinic's standard. One older complaint alleged unsafe boarding; recent reviews do not mention boarding issues.

Reviewers consistently praise Dr. Cassens for her patience, knowledge, and ability to calm anxious animals. The practice builds trust through gentle handling, thorough communication, and willingness to explore creative solutions for serious illness. Staff reach out after visits to check on pets, which reviewers note is uncommon. Their North Park clinic is open 7 days a week and serves the greater Round Rock and North Austin area. Specific strengths include dental work, exotic pet care (rabbit, crested gecko experience noted), and weekend emergency response for acute cases. Patients travel from Georgetown and elsewhere to see Dr. Cassens.

Animal Care Clinic

Reviewers consistently describe feeling welcomed as family, with staff and vets who take time to explain care options without rushing. Multiple customers span 8 to 20 years of loyalty, praising Dr. Hensley, Dr. King, and staff member Ashley O. for compassion during routine visits, emergencies, and end-of-life care. One recent complaint raises concern about new ownership limiting direct communication with the vet and canceling appointments to avoid feedback, which contrasts sharply with the clinic's historic reputation for openness. The clinic earns praise for easy appointment access, clean facilities, and reasonable pricing advice; many customers mention the Thrive pet insurance partnership as a financial help. Pets reportedly feel at home during visits. A small percentage of newer reviews suggest internal changes may be affecting the experience some long-term customers had come to expect.
