Very bad experience, never again would I go to this clinic. When doctor opened the door I saw the dog after surgery laying on the bare floor. He closed the door fast so I would not see it. Do not bring your pets there. He was not even able to take my dogs blood.

Absolutely horrible place! I can not believe anyone could write a good review on this vet. Where do I even start... The place was dirty and unsterile. This vet does not care about your animal! Horrible experience with a simple procedure. Never again. I was told one price and when I went in it was almost double. Pay the couple bucks more and GO TO ANOTHER VET! This vet is dishonest and are scammers!

Cannot manage their time or schedule. Had to wait for 1 hour or more which stressed our pet. No explanation was given. Save your time and money and find another vet.

What horrible people! My indoor cat was having issues eating/drinking and started getting thin. I took him to Sohal, who insisted on routine injections to see if he recovered. At the same time my mom tried feeding him medicine through a syringe but he would bite her. There was no way to medicate him other than going to the vet. After some time of no improvement, we had bloodwork done and realized there were strong signs of kidney issues. This whole time, Sohan showed NO SYMPATHY whatsoever. He just wanted our money. My mom called to ask what we should do because he is clearly in pain and THEN he says, weeks later, that he may have rabies even though HE KNEW THE CAT BIT HER! Then we had enough of seeing him suffering and crying for pain so we called to ask what we can do. He tried selling us all these different euthanasia packages and we said no we just want to put him down. Then he passed the phone to his secretary who said sorry we don't have time right now. He died the following day.

I have been going to Dr. Sohal for years, he is a great Doctor and offers some of the best prices I have seen. Being so affordable puts them in high demand and although waiting time has been lengthy on some of my visits, I know its because Dr. Sohal cares about all his clients giving each of us special attention. It's a very small clinic, with a small staff, but they are all very nice and friendly. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO DR.SOHAL! The kennel is dirty and reeks of urine. He did not clean the blood off my kitten after declawing her. This vet is always at least an hour behind and his secretaries are beyond stupid; they change their answers to a simple question at least three times. He is very cheap, but you get what you pay for. Use this vet if you want an unsanitary place and a vet who just doesn't care.

I have mixed reviews about writing this post. Dr. Sohal has been great to our pets in the past, but recently we had a horrible experience with him. Our cat was diagnosed with diabetes. To make a very long story short, he admitted to not keeping up with the scientific literature and refused to treat my cat unless treatment consisted of an insulin that has been proven ineffective against a newer medication. Needless to say, I switched vets immediately (would you allow a family member to be treated by someone who admittedly does not keep up with advances in medicine?). Our cat has been on treatment for 3 weeks and is on the road to remission. The staff at our new clinic are very supportive, kind and make the effort to keep up-to-date with advances in treatment. We will not go back to Dr. Sohal and urge him to update his knowledge base for the sake of his remaining patients.

If you want your pets to be at the threshold of hell this is the place to go. The vet is doesn't have a clue what he's talking about, doesn't want to explain anything to you without sighing. Treated my dog poorly. Can't even cut the nails properly, cut the nerve on every one and didn't expect my dog to get upset after hurting him continuously. Just after I thought this goof couldn't get any worse, he was fidgiting around and shot himself up with a rabies vaccination and then says, "It's ok its not harmful to humans." What a complete moron. I wouldn't let this vet examine a cockroach. My dog is now getting proper care at a much better vet. I would rather spend money and get good care than save a buck and throw my pets at uncaring, uneducated jerk. This guy shouldn't be practicing. Plus the staff likes to tell alot of owners that thier pets are bad. Sorry, but take a look in the mirror. YOU ARE BAD, PETS CAN SENSE THESE THINGS!!

It saddens me to read some of the negative reviews about this great clinic. So what if the place is next to an adult video store? It's not like there's**** leaking into the clinic. Anyway, I really like Dr. Sohol. Yes, the clinic isn't lavish but, it's not a dump. All my cats have had good experiences here for shots and surgeries. Sometimes, the wait time can be nuts but it goes to show you people will wait to see a good doctor. The prices are very reasonable and I am so thankful this clinic is nearby.

Cannot recommend this Doctor enough. Yes you may wait a bit for your appointment (sometimes), but it is without a doubt worth the wait. He is very thorough in his physical examinations and has always been extremely gentle and accommodating with both my cats. I have used his services for both vaccinations and surgeries and they all healed beautifully. The clinic doesn't look like a posh boutique, but thats not what Im there for anyways. His prices are fantastic for the job he performs so well. Again, I cannot recommend him enough. Long live this doctor, hes been a god sent.

My rescue agency cat was supposed to have been spayed by Bloor/Kipling Animal Clinic. But she went into heat a few weeks after I adopted her. So I was told to take her to Bloor/Kipling Animal Clinic to get her spayed for free. The vet said my cat was PREGNANT! This would have been impossible. They tried to charge an extra $50 for spaying a pregnant cat. I believe this vet is dishonest, and at any rate the clinic looked dirty and unappealing. Luckily my cat survived the spaying and wasnt pregnant after all.

The vet and staff are very nice. I would recommend the vet for vaccinations as they are fairly inexpensive at this location however, I would not recommend this vet for surgeries or other serious matters. I got my dog fixed there; not only did it look sloppy, but it it created over $1000 worth of complications over the last 2 months following my dogs surgery. 2 months later and I'm on my way to a different location to remove a random stitch that is sticking out of my dogs fully healed abdomen. In the middle of all these complications, not once did the staff return my calls. The trust I had for this location is completely gone.

Dr. Sohal has been great with our cats who all have kidney issues largely due to the melamine tainted food of 2007. I truly feel like he does care about our kitties as do the staff. I think it's really great that he takes the time needed to talk with you about your pet and isn't rushing you through the door. I guess that's why there's sometimes a bit of a wait. He wants to make sure you understand what is going on with your pet. He even keeps the price of prescription food significantly lower than I've seen at other clinics. We are very, very satisfied with the service here. It's not the ritziest looking clinic in town but I'd rather be paying for good service than location and posh interior design as I've seen at other clinics. Keep up the good work, Dr. Sohal!

Dr Sohal is by far the best vet I have come across in years. He is kind and compassionate, and truly loves his patients. Yes, you may have to wait to see him, but that is testament to how many people trust and use him. He spent major time with me teaching me how to correctly inject my diabetic cat with insulin and would not let me leave until he was satisfied I knew what I was doing. He answers all questions honestly and we have the utmost faith in him.

Dr. Sohal is a highly qualified vet. I recommend him to everyone with pets. He's very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and he loves his patients. He will personally call his clients at home to check on his patients. When my cat Lassie has had urgent situations, I have been given a same day appointment despite of the crowd in his waiting room. This waiting room is never without patients and this is the best indicator how famous is he. I trust him so much!

Dr. Sohal is a wonderful vet. The person who wrote he is more concerned with the welfare of your pets than his bottom line is absolutely correct. Although you may have to wait for your appointment, the wait is well worth it. Dr. Sohal is a caring and selfless person - I am happy I found his clinic!

Dr Sohal is profesional, provides quality care, is caring, supportive and affordable. You need some patience with appoitment times, but is because he takes time to do a complete diagnostic sometimes delay appointmes. Really I don't mind the wait as I know the care his patients are recwiving is the best in town. He is close to subway station and his hours are flexible. Our doggie was bitten late in the afternoon during weekday; we didin't have an appointment just ruch in to his clinic. He was about to closewhen we arrived with Salma injure and bleeding, he didn't hesitate to provide her inmediate medical care (stiches, antibiotics, etc). We left late at night after all stiches and wound care was done. I am grateful with Dr Sohal is awesome with Salma (mini-schnauzer), he always greets her by her name and she is not scare of him> Dr. Sohal is Salma's Vet in her short 3 year (he is seen her since she is 3 months old). Thank you Dr Sohal and your staff at Bloor-Kipling Animal Clinic.

I have been coming here since Dr.Sohal opened, I have found him to be very good with my pets. I feel it is worth the wait considering the rates that he charges. In the beginning I thought that it was because he was new, yet he is still much less then ANYONE in the GTA. Keep up the great work Dr.Sohal & please keep the prices down.

I found this little vet clinic after being totally hosed by Toronto vets that only care about their bottom line. I would highly recommend Dr. Sohal. As for the person who said he doesnt seem to like bigger aggressive dogs, you are jumping to conclusions. I had a pitbull and Dr. Sohal always had a big smile when we showed up. He knew my dogs name and even if I brought my cat in, he would always ask "how is Spirit doing?" He was so good with my dog and he pegged some serious medical issues with my dog that no other vet did. Please people, look past the little things like the wait times and the state of the office. Clearly Dr Sohal is in this because he cares about the animals. He isn't out to empty your wallet. I take both my animals there and will continue to do so. For those of you who think the office isn't up to your standards, please feel free to go elsewhere and pay double or triple for the same advice/services.

Get what you pay for. Cheap but horrible service. Sleazy location - right beside adult video store! I will never go back. Vet was very rough with my cat. Staff don't know what they are doing. Very disorganized. Much better clinics around. Better to pay a little more and get a good vet.

Dr. Sohal is kind to the animals and very reasonable around costs. The staff are amazing. The exam room is clean and fairly reasonable but has anyone been in the operating room? I don't think it is up to par in terms of infection control; it seems dirty and unsterile, ie. operating room has plastic cover with duct tape on it to keep it in place, table top where meds are looks dirty and mouldy. Ask to see it before you agree to your pet undergoing any surgery. I also question Dr. Sohal's skill at surgery. I think he is great at routine exams and needles but question his skill around more complicated surgical matters. Just being honest.

i always take my little one since day one and so far i really like him.. as soon as he sees her he remembers her name right away,... that makes me feel like he really care...the clinic, is not very modern or pretty , but it doesn;t really matter.. what it counts is the service and off course what u pay doesn't compare anywhere else.. i love that clinic..

The facilities got a so so review due to the fact that there was no ventilation in the examination room. Waiting 30 minutes in a small room where the floor was just bleached was quite annoying. Which brings me to the poorest score... I waited 1 hour after my scheduled appointment before I was led into the bleach soaked room. Then waited another 30 minutes. 90 minute wait time for a scheduled appointment is ridiculous! The doctor was knowledgeable and friendly, but the lady working at the front was very disorganized. She wrote the wrong information from the doctors notes, she didn't schedule a follow up appointment (although was instructed to by the doctor) and she showed favoritism to walk-ins over scheduled appointments. The price was good. I understand that not every appointment can be on time, but it seems like long wait times are the running theme for this place from other reviews. I'd only go back if they get more organized.

Excellent vet. Very reasonable prices. And, if Dr. Sohal thinks a pet problem is beyond his expertise he refers to someone else. He saved my dog's life. The only drawback is that appointments tend to be late b/c he's so busy.

By, far this is the most exquistie Clinic that I have ever visited, and believe me when I say that! The Vet and Staff are wonderful people, who really do show a sense of caring and appreciation for your best friend. They are truly remarkable people. They saved the life of my dog from the grasps of death. Thank You. I highly reccommend this clinic for everyone who wants the best for this little friend!

I would absolutely recommend this vet. However, you have to understand the appointment will rarely be on time, but this is because he takes as much time as is necessary with each animal. He does not prescribe uneccessary medication nor demand that tests be done at the drop of the hat. Very professional. I agree that he can be a bit skittish with agressive dogs, but who isn't afraid of a dog biting them?! Excellent value for money. I wish I would have known about this vet sooner. The facilities are not extravagent but this does not affect the service offered.

The only person who was nice at this clinic is the receptionist. The vet is a complete moron who is insensitive and rude. If he has a problem treating bigger dogs, because they are playful 'puppies' ie: puppys between 9 and 12mos... then maybe veterinary work is not his calling. I ended up spending an ADDITIONAL $300 after I left this clinic for medication for my dog after his surgery that other clinics provide but this vet didn't even suggest it. I wouldn't advise anyone to take their pets to this uneducated fool.

These people are amazing, after being quoted 500-700 dollars to have my cat spayed in various West Toronto vets, I heard about Dr. Sohol. Thank God. Since he did her surgery, I have had to visit for an emergency.He kept his clinic open after hours, did a thorough exam, administered fluids all in a professional, unhurried manner. Great staff, friendly and SO reasonably priced. You pay for the services, not the vet's rent costs like others in T.O

This vet saved my dogs life! My Feefee had Gardia ( worm desease ) and he gave her the right medication, she got curded very quicky. She had an ear infection, it was better after a couple of days, he also spayed my dog, and he did a very good job. But he does have alot of coustomers...and we once waited 3 hours even though we came right on time. His office could be a tid bit cleaner. But over all. Id give him a 5 out of 5. : ]

i think this place is great, the facility is basic, but the service is great! sataff if wonderful and the price is right :D to the person with the kitten who was roughly handled, was it given shots before? i took my kitten a few days ago and she was a little terror to vaccinate, i had to help hold her down, i couldn't imagine having her nails clipped too, next time do it at home, where there's less stress for her.

Great, unrushed service. Dr. Mohal and his assistant take the time to listen to concerns and to answer questions - that's why they're always behind schedule! They don't recommend unnecessary tests and procedures and the prices are amazing. Our animals and our budget love this place.
