I had been taking my Shih Tzu to different Vets concerning an eye problem and ear problem. Dr Balinger just saw her once and her ears cleared up and her eyes are doing much better. I only wish he were in Amarillo. Even though I have to travel to Canyon I'm going to continue taking my dogs to him. Only one complaint if you may. I had an appointment with him and some other Vet came out to take care of the appointment. It's not that I had any complaints with the Vet that saw my dog but if I'm going to travel from Amarillo to Canyon to see Dr Ballinger I want him to take care of my dogs.

We were on the road when our dog developed an infection. They worked us in that day, which has never happened with our regular vet at home. Everyone was friendly and kind. As an aside, the office is lovely.

One of our Siberian Huskies almost tore one of his dew claws off at the dog park. We called and I explained we were passing through town.
Even though they were extremely busy, they worked us in and took care of our boy. The staff was amazing.
From the phone staff, the young lady that came to pick up Tucker and bring him back to the truck and incredible doctor that called us while we waited in the truck.... everyone was incredible!
If we lived in the area this would be our primary care for all of our animals!

We will never take our pets here again. I took our cat in back in November to get checked out because he was displaying lethargic behavior and refusing to eat. Couldn’t go inside with him because of Covid and was told to wait in my car. I got a call less than 5 mins later saying there was nothing wrong and that he was a happy and healthy kitty. The next day, his behavior had not changed and he passed away after having multiple seizures. We had to take our other kitten into the vet the next day for scheduled shots. We told the attendant what had happened to our older cat, and no apology was offered

My baby boy went with my boyfriend to Palo Duro for a bike race, sadly peanut was under the weather and had to see a vet.
From Dallas i googled vets near Palo duro and saw this clinic got good reviews, so directed them here
They were seen very quick, it was very fairly priced and the vet was super good and efficient and put my boyfriend's mind at ease.
Thank you so much for helping my boys!!

On time with my scheduled appointment. Everyone was intuitive with the of the pets and their owners. I’ve been a patient of Dr. Ballinger’s for 33 years.
