Parkway Veterinary Clinic

An institution is only as good as its people: Parkway Veterinary has outstanding staff. These folks believe in what they do.

I had a sick 16-year-old kitty. He, like most cats, hates going to the vet. It had been two years since his last visit. The night before I took him in, he was vomiting every 2 hours. I called Parkway and they had an appointment at 3:00 in the afternoon. I spent the whole day cuddling and loving my precious baby boy. When they weighed him, he had lost 5 pounds. The vet examined him and stated that the muscle mass in his legs was weak. She said, based on these two factors, she suspected cancer or kidney disease. I burst into tears. She explained they could do tests, x-rays and probably give him some meds to prolong his life and I would have to bring him back for bi-weekly visits. At 16 years old, I decided against that. I didn't want to put him through that kind of trauma. I decided to put him down. The staff was very compassionate and loving. They gave me time with him to cuddle and say goodbye. They let me hold him, during the injection and he died peacefully in my arms.
I left the office heartbroken. Pet's are family. He was family. I am grieving. I checked my mail the other day and it it was a beautifully written sympathy card for me. I touched me deeply.
My experience with other vet's is that they play on your emotions and do needless tests, to jack up the bill. Not Parkway. I will be forever grateful for their kindness.
RIP Salvatore.

I have been going to Parkway close to 20 years. They treat my animals and I as if we were family. I have recommended all of my family, friends and even people I dont know to take their animals here. I mostly see Dr. Bares he treats my animals as if they were his own. But if he is not there I am completely fine to see any other doctor. To the whole staff thanks so much for being so caring and kind.

Having now worked for 3 veterinary clinics, I have to say that Parkway was by far the friendliest environment for both employees and for the customer. They provide great all-around care for your pets at a very fair price. All of the Doctors there are both friendly and experienced, and in my observation are especially skilled with ultrasound imaging, something that many veterinary clinics are reluctant to adopt as a routine practice. Parkway maintains a full staff of licensed veterinary technicians that go the extra mile to ensure your questions answered thoroughly, and that you understand your pet’s condition and treatment options. I miss working with the doctors and staff at Parkway, and if I had not left for college out of state, I most certainly would have continued working there.
