Your staff is very cold and not emphatic at all. It’s sad that people in customer service get to that point. If they don’t like the atmosphere they are in get other people in there 

Business response:

Hello Rick Guajardo, first off we would like to apologize to you for not having a good experience during your visit. We were unable to locate you in our system under this name. Would your account be under another name? We would like to discuss your concerns from your visit, could you please provide a good contact number where you can be reached? You can also call us here at the hospital at (956) 968-3858. We hope to hear from you soon so that we can make this right. Thank you, Border Animal Hospital

They rarely answer the phone. When they do you will be placed on hold for at least 5-10 minutes. When you book your appointment you will wait no less than an hour PAST your scheduled appointment time. Once you get in they are good however the process to book an appointment and be seen in a timely manner needs major improvement. My first appointment we waited an hour and half past our appointment time. I’ve been here for an hour past my appointment time today and I’m still waiting. Oh, and I’m still on hold too trying to get... read more

Hi McKenzie, we apologize for the long wait on hold with the phones we have seen a large increase in call volume and do our best to answer the phones while also assisting clients in the office. We also apologize for the long wait for your appointment, with renovation starting this week in the clinic we are working to adjust our appointment schedule accordingly to avoid this issue in the future. Thank you for your feedback, Border Animal Hospital

My mom’s dog, an established patient at this clinic was denied service (the dog saved my mom from a pitbull attack and was bitten) after she was told she could go in as a walk-in. My three pets *were* also patients here, but we’ll have to find another clinic that we can rely upon when we need them most.

I honestly hate this place. I’ve been coming here on and off again for about three years for my pets and the front office staff is always rude. If you can go to another vet please do and save yourself the trouble. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone unless it was their last choice!

Have been coming to Border Animal Hospital for years. Dr. Bhakta has been amazing but the appointment schedule is a joke. Even if you have an appointment, walk-ins can get priority. Appointment today was scheduled for 4:10 for blood work and it is now 7:16 and we are waiting for techs to fill meds. Dr. Bhakta is the only reason we’ve stayed for so long but the techs and one receptionist in particular have hurt the business. Sad to say but we will be finding another vet.
