There use to be a very rude lady that worked the desk that would never get u in thst day even if it was an emergency. I brought it up to Dr hodges and told him I was forced to bring lulu to a different vet that day and I asked him if he could be the vet that I needed in emergency or not. I know my dog better than anyone else and know if it's an emergency or not.

Its reassuring to be able to put your pet in the trust of such a wonderful staff.Chris W.Chris W. ★★★★★ The staff is efficient and friendly not only to myself but also to my precious pets!Mary Jean E.Mary Jean E. ★★★★★ I took my German Shepherd, who was expressing alarming behavior, to this recommended veterinarian. Upon hearing Max's history and after a thorough examination, Dr. Hodgson believed a series of x-rays would be helpful. We said yes. The x-rays showed what he already thought would be hip degeneration. However, what proved vital part is Max has a pericardial effusion and serious fluid build-up in the sac surrounding his heart. Dr. Hodgson recommended to go quickly to the University of Missouri or an acknowledged emergency vet here to prevent the real possibility of leakage into the peritoneal cavity and deadly sepsis. On a busy Saturday, his excellent staff took the time to call the opted emergency office in town, send all relevant records, and give a heads-up Max was coming. I am immensely grateful for the compassion and professalism shown by Antioch Hospital. We will be back with all our pets, not just Max.John Z.John Z. ★★★★★ Staff is very knowledgeable and empathetic when it was time for our dog to cross that rainbow bridge.Shari A.Shari A. ★★★★★ I have 3 cats that are my babies! I would do anything for them and choosing a place nearby, who priorities my animals and answering all my questions is what I value most. Pricing is always on a piece of paper to break things down and they tell you what absolutely needs done in the right order if you can’t afford all of it. Reasonable pricing! I have even brought my family’s pets here! (They trust my recommendations and haven’t been disappointed either!)Hannah KHannah K ★★★★★ I've tried multiple vets around the Gladstone area.
