Cloverdale Veterinary Hospital

Today was my first visit and the doctor helping us was Dr. Tamara Skocylak. Her bedside manner was excellence and she was very thorough in her explaining what the issues were. I will definitely return!

I have found this clinic to be the best in the city. Dr. Skocylak is so help and caring! My cats seem to melt in her hands. She is very thorough and explains all options and expectations with patience and compassion. Highly recommend her and Cloverdale Vet Hospital. Percy says thx for all your help!

Very personable service and staff that cares! Highly recommend for your pets. Clean clinic and very professional

I've been coming here for years and it's because the staff and the doctors truly do care about your your pet. They treat them like they're a member of their family and they don't charge you an arm and a leg. It really is pet-first

Prices are fair and they have quick appointment availability, also Christian is really cute and good with my dog

We took our 10 month old kitten to Cloverdale Veterinary Hospital. Our experience was horrible and resulted in us taking our kitten to an Emergency Vet. Our kitty was happy and healthy. We were taking him in to prepare him to be neutered. We were not allowed to enter the clinic because of Covid which we understood. A day after getting our kitten back it was clear that he was sick. His energy was low, he stopped eating, he had diarrhea and had lost weight. He is an indoor cat that had no interaction with another animal after visiting Cloverdale. The owner refused to admit that the clinic could have done anything wrong even though they had not investigated the matter. When I asked if he had spoken to the technician or assistant responsible for cleaning the crate that my kitten was kept in, he said that "it did not matter. " I write this review as I'm waiting for the Emergency Vet to assess my kitty. Hopefully, he is okay. It would be easier if the vet provided more details of what happened but we have been left in the dark. For an expensive service you should expect more then what Cloverdale provides.

Dr. Bala and his associates are amazing. They go above and beyond for the pets they treat and their owners. Dr. Bala sat down and explained everything to me as well as different courses of action I could take with my cat and his condition. Prices are very reasonable and within range. Thanks so much Dr. Bala, Christian, and everyone at Cloverdale Veterinary Hospital for taking amazing care of my cat and me.

We have been so happy to have Dr. Tamara as our vet. She is so great at explaining treatments, tests, and what's going on with our kitten. She always makes sure to get back to us when we have questions (even calling after hours), and you can tell that she really cares about her patients. Christian at the front is also always so kind and helpful!

We cannot express our gratitude for this clinic enough! Christian, Dr Bala and Dr Tamara have been amazing since day 1. We came to this clinic at the suggestion of our friend and we do not regret it! Their prices are reasonable, their service is impeccable, and its obvious they really care about your pet. I would give them 10 stars if I could! They go above and beyond for our dog, and its obvious she loves going to the vet as well. Thank you!

Dr Bala has been my vet for over 10 years now and there is no one more trustworthy, caring or invested in your pet’s well-being. He is knowledgeable, kind and empathetic. I cannot recommend him enough!

***UPDATE: Received an email a couple of hours after I posted this review. Stated they never received any notice about my dog's death. If this was the case, I should have gotten a call for the yearly appointment last year but I never did. Leaving the review as 1 star, it shouldn't take a bad review to get a response. ***

Used Dr. Bala for my last dog (he was seeing this vet prior to me getting him so I figure I will keep the same vet).

My dog died 2 years ago and they were advised as his yearly check up was due around the same time. They called me this year (what happened to last year) to say my dog (that has been dead for 2 years) is due for his annual appointment. I left a voicemail message AND sent an email regarding this and received ZERO response. They have the nerve to call me 2 years after my boy died (even though they were advised) and when I respond, they don't even acknowledge that they made this error or to even apologize? Thanks for reminding me that my boy is dead and showing me that I did the right thing by using a different vet all together for my new boy.

As for Dr. Bala, he seems like he knows what he is doing but is only nice to you if you don't ask questions. If you ask anything remotely medical (i.e. You work in a medical field so you ask something specific related to a disease etc) he will not respond, he shuts down and just talks around the topic.

I recommend you go elsewhere if 1.you want a vet clinic that can keep their files organized enough to note that a patient is dead, therefore no longer requires an annual exam reminder phone call or 2.you want a vet that is able and willing to answer harder (more medical) questions.

Very friendly and amazing staffs. My first time to have a dog and I take this place because appointments so conveniently. The doctors so friendly and nice to answer all of the questions. The receptionists also very very nice and respectful. The most important is the price this place so practical and not over charge. I suggest peoplr who have pets and anyone know this place should refer friends to come here. With my thankyou and appreciates of of your work I post this review for people who choose the right place for their lovely pets

These guys are amazing. My dogs teeth were badly infected. They spent several hours on tooth extraction (like 5+). They explained the process in clear detail in a way I could understand. They are well priced and don't gouge you on costs. They answered all my questions and provided excellent care. When i brought my dog home Dr. Bala called after an hour to check on him. They took very good care of my boy.

I can't say enough good things about Cloverdale Vet. Most recently my cats have been cared for there by Dr. Yogo. She is kind and compassionate, and has recommended evidence-based, effective treatments. My cat needed an overnight stay and she sent me updates and even a picture of my kitty looking happy and content. The entire team is lovely - I recommend them wholeheartedly.

Over the past 10 years I've been bringing various cats to Dr. Bala for care, and just realized that I've never posted a review! I've consider myself so lucky to have found Cloverdale and Dr. Bala those many years ago. He and his staff have been highly expert, professional, compassionate and humane during all their treatments of my cats.

I've used other clinics and hospitals before discovering Cloverdale and although they did a fair job, the treatment and care was no where near the standard of care my furry felines have received from Dr. Bala, his staff and his associate Vets.

They take the time to listen, to discuss results/diagnoses and treatment plans to make sure you're fully aware of what is happening every step of the way.

Thank you Dr. Bala and everyone at Cloverdale for wonderful veterinary services.

Poor service. Booked an appointment a week in advance and and 2 hours before the appointment they called looking for records of past vet visits. I brought all documents for any previous vet visits. It wasn't good enough and when we arrived the vet said it was before a long weekend and there isn't much he could do and wouldn't see us. This would have been our first visit. If you're looking for a vet keep looking.

Dr. Bala takes the time to thoroughly assess my dog and explains his diagnosis and treatment options clearly.

I love Cloverdale Veterinarian hospital so much. The staff and Dr. Bala are so friendly and always go above and beyond. During this global pandemic I moved in with my sister in Windsor, completely forgetting about heartworm, tick and flea medication. I reached out to the clinic and asked if there was any way they could mail me the medication, and without hesitation they did. I had the medication within 2 days of my sending the payment. Such incredible service, and care. I would highly recommend this clinic for anyone looking for a new vet.

Dr Bala has always been great I was one of his first customers when other dr retired and dr Bala took over. Best dr in world.

$30 for a quick nail clipping. Ridiculous.
Receptionist very sweet & caring. 5 stars for the reception.

Dr Bala is great. He will spend time explaining what is wrong and why a certain course of treatmemt is recommended. We worked through some issues with my dog and his skin and Dr Bala spent an exceptional amount of time trying to get to the source of the problem. Very caring.

Fairly priced, super friendly and helpful staff and I can’t say enough great things about this place! 5 stars and 2 very big thumbs up! ️
