Simard, Caroline, Dvm - Point Breeze Veterinary Clinic

My parents and I have been going to PBVC for about 20 years. They have 5 cats and I have 3. The staff is friendly and helpful, always willing to squeeze you in if you have an emergency. I am a poor student and the vet always remembers and makes sure not to charge me for the office visit, only for the medicines and vaccinations. Over the years, yes, some of the vets are not people people, but they do know what they are doing and they care for their work. We've had to put down 2 cats over the years and they always are sympathetic and send nice notes after. Give them a chance, they are good vets. Pros: Good location. Cons: Small waiting room more

I have visited this clinic 5 times and have had appointments with 2 different vets, and I have had a bad experience every time. The people who sit at the front desk are friendly, but the vets are not at all. They act impatient and flustered if you ask questions, as if they do not have time for you or as if you are questioning their competence when you are really just concerned about your animal. Even if you are intimidated into not asking any questions and only listen, they don't explain anything clearly. They seem to assume you should already know everything and rush you out the door. Every time I visited this clinic in the past year, I left feeling uncertain about how to care for my cats and feeling bad about my experience there. Then when I made a mistake with one of my cats because of the lack of clarity, I was blamed for it at my next visit. I love my cats like I love my children and would follow every instruction to the tee if I were given any clear ones. The vets at this clinic do not seem to understand that people's animals are family members who are loved dearly. People skills are certainly lacking. No where else have I ever been treated as badly or felt as minimized. more

The vet that I saw didnt seem to even like animals. I gave this clinic a few opportunities to prove this initial impression wrong, but they did not. The vet was late to work one day that I had an appointment and seemed completely out of it. If you love your animals like part of your family, dont bother with this place. I was extremely turned off by this vets demeanor. more

We have been using Point Breeze for over 20 years and have no complaints. The doctors and staff know their animals, explain things to you and are friendly. They're terrific. more

This is the first time I haven't felt overcharged at a vet's office. They were really great about not charging me for unnecessary items. (in part because I am a student and I just rescued my cat) But everyone there was so nice and very well informed. They caught my cat's Tape Worm when a lot of places wouldn't have. Both vets that I have dealt with have been very nice. Pros: Good Value, Freindly more
