I was unable to make an appt due to clinic availability, but I have to give kudos to your receptionist who couldn't have been more helpful and kind over the phone! If all in your employ are like her, this must be a very fine business indeed! I have been to many vets in Tacoma over the years and Dr. Self at Columbia Veterinary Hospital is the most knowledgeable and caring person who has ever helped me with my dog.
Many pet owners are terrified by the thought of their pet undergoing anesthesia. In some cases, this fear and uncertainty can prevent pets from receiving the medical care they need and deserve. Rest assured that your pet will receive safe, comprehensive, advanced anesthesia care from our staff of caring professionals.

Today I had an appointment for our kitten at Columbia Vet where we have been seen for the last 20 years. I was told that my appointment had been cancelled, at my request. I was told that at my request my care there was terminated since I was getting care somewhere else. I explained I did not cancel our care, and had no idea what she was talking about. She further informed me that records for all our pets had been transferred to another clinic. She could not recall who that might be. She declined to check her records. And the clinic has twice more declined to even attempt to resolve this issue.

We brought our 13 year old pitbull here for a quality of life assessment. (It was our first time here) He has never been a good patient, he was terrified of the vet, but Dr. Self didn't seem to mind, she snuggled and loved on him and fed him all the treats! Today I opened my mailbox to find a sympathy card for our family from Dr. Self and all of the people at Columbia Vet Hospital, after only meeting us one time! Their compassion means the world to us!

To the receptionist who cant do her job or is just getting too complacent. Everyone knew about the snow storm in Washington. We had days to prepare for this. we show up for the second time (first time we had to reschedule because the doctor called in sick?? on a Friday... but they were still taking appointments all around us. what if our cat was dying?) with our sick cat only to find a sign that says powers out and phones out. Don't you guys have solar panels??? on top of that the receptionist didn't even contact each individual client to remind them of the situation today. THAT'S YOUR JOB! instead
