I had an emergency and my vet was closed last Saturday. I took my dog around the corner to Dr Parker. Let’s say this— he’s my new vet! Love and trust him. His staff is very nice also!!

We love Dr Parker and his friendly staff at Montevallo Animal Clinic! We rescued a little puppy and didn’t hesitate on choosing a vet. I trusted Dr Parker to help us make sure little Rea would stay healthy and grow. Prices are reasonable, convenient hours and location. I feel like family every time she comes in!

Our 7-year old cat began having problems the week before last. It started out as hacking and vomiting as with hairballs, but by Thursday night she was not eating at all, and if she did drink a small amount of water, she'd immediately vomit it back up. She became a bit lethargic and was obviously losing weight. I called Friday morning, but our normal vet could not see her until the next Monday. I found that MAC could see her immediately because they are walk-in only. The doctor saw her quickly and after an exam, gave us a very reasonable quote for suggested procedures (bloodwork, IV fluids, hospitalization). We left her there for treatment over the weekend. The staff did call with updates. On Monday, a technician called to say they had no good news but were going to run more bloodwork. I asked if they had done an x-ray to check for an obstruction and she said no, and acted like that was a strange request. Later in the afternoon, the doctor called to say things were not good. He told use she had FIV (feline AIDS). That was news to us, and a very unusual disease for an indoor cat to have. He said her inability to keep anything down was likely due to a GI infection she could not fight off. He said there was nothing they could do for her and that she would probably not live much longer without eating or drinking. He said this is common with FIV cats. While he did not suggest euthanasia, when I brought that up, he seemed to think that was a good option. We went that evening, expecting to see our cat on her deathbed and to say goodbye. When we got there, she was fairly active and seemed fairly normal. After some discussion, we decided to take her home, fully expecting to be back in a few days when she began to go downhill. When we checked out, we were charged some additional fees for more bloodwork, but it was still very reasonable. For the next few days, she was still fairly lethargic, and vomited a few times after drinking. Once or twice, she did eat a few morsels and keep them down. She sis not seem to be in any pain and did not seem to be getting worse, but she needed to eat. On Thursday, we called our regular vet and got her in there. I brought all the bloodwork records from MAC. Oddly enough, none of that included the FIV test results, and when our vet did the test, it came back negative! Our doctor said that the test is very accurate. She did an x-ray, and saw what might have be a soft object in her stomach, so we had an endoscope done. That shows nothing - no tumors, no foreign objects, all was good. Since the, she has slowly started easting again and has been less lethargic. It remains to be seen what is (was) wrong, but at least she seems to be improving. I think MAC does a good job, but I question the validity of their FIV test (especially since it was not listed on their bloodwork results). I also question the doctor almost letting us euthanize our dear pet. I just believe they could have been more diligent in doing more diagnostic work (x-rays).

We tried this vet clinic for the first time earlier this month. My husband and I, along with our 2 young children, took our dog in to have his ears checked for infection and to have a lump on his leg looked at. We filled out the paperwork and they took us back to a tiny room where we waited an hour and a half for our dog to be seen by a doctor! We had to call the front desk to find out if anyone was still there since it was close to closing time. We had to shout "hello?" from our claustrophobic room to get someone to come in and tell us what was going on. The vet finally came in and said they had an emergency, but said it like we were supposed to just be understanding and ok with waiting 1.5 hours with 2 young kids in a tiny cell with a tiny corner bench that they had to squeeze together on! We were angry by this point. If it wasn't for the fact that we desperately needed meds for our dog's ears, we would've walked out 45 minutes earlier. She looked at the lump on his leg and said it needed to be removed and biopsied immediately. The doctor, along with a vet tech, printed out a quote for the surgery. We were told it included everything. I asked if the price included the bloodwork and biopsy as well. We were told "yes, it includes everything". So, we scheduled the surgery for yesterday. My husband went to drop him off on his way to work and the front desk ladies couldn't find our dog's paperwork. My husband had to fill it all out again. That was very frustrating and unprofessional. Then when we picked him up later that day, they charged us $130 more than what was quoted. My husband tried to fight it, but ultimately left so he could get our dog home to rest. We looked back over the quote and saw that they left off the charge of having the lump biopsied. This feels very deceitful. The doctor and tech looked over that quote, even adding things and reprinting it. We asked specifically if the biopsy fee was on there and we were told, "yes". The cost seemed reasonable, so we went with it. Had we known it was going to cost over $100 more, we would've taken him to another vet. I really don't understand how this vet has so many 5 star reviews when our entire experience was just awful! We will absolutely not return to this place!

We have used Montevallo Animal Clinic for years for all of our pets. The staff are so very kind. When we brought in one of cats that they were unfortunately unable to save, they made an impression of her paw and gave it along with a sweet handwritten note to my heartbroken daughter. Anytime she has come along, the vets have encouraged her curiosity and explained what they were doing as they took care of our animals. And, their prices are very reasonable compared to other area vets.
