I can't say enough about IVAH and DR Spence. We have been taking our pet family to see Dr Spence pretty much since she opened, we have 1 dog and have brought 4 cats to see her and every visit has been wonderful. The staff is fabulous, knowledgeable and helpful and Dr Spence is amazing. She is caring, never rushes us (I ask tons of questions) and also never pushes any products or procedures that. She gives us plenty of info and helps us make informed choices. She is the first vet who has never tried to "upsell" our food choices or made us feel "bad" about considering our financial resources when considering options for our pets' care. We love going there and truly feel she is the best vet we have ever met. Thank you to everyone at IVAH!!!

I went to the emergecy clinic with my sick dog. When we say the doctor, she look over him, then left to bring me a price list and a $1400 bill. I felt I was buying a car. She told me she wanted to do a number of blood tests and ultrasounds to determine not what the problem is. And that he had to stay overnight. When I said, no to this, and just wanted the medications and that if he got worse I would take him to my vet in the morning. She said that he might go down hill quickly, and she pressured me to keep him over night. I went to pay the bill. It came to $611. Wow, I thought that was a lot, but it was an emergency clinic. They proceeded to charge to my VISA. When I was still there I looked at the bill i discovered a $325 fee on it for an ultrasound that he didn't have. I told the receptionist about this, and she said it was for the X-ray, I said he didn't have a X-ray. She went back and asked an assistant or vet, who credited my creditcard, wile the receptionist wanted to shred the b

Dr. Spence is quiet - lowkey - which is so great for my dog and me as there isn't a lot of hype and no pushyness. She lets you ask questions and make your own decisions. She knows her stuff and seems to be plugged into the vet world beyond her clinic. Staff is interested and motivated. They are pet people. The place is spotless. It has a family kind of place feel. You wouldn't mind your kids crawling on the floor. Best of all is her dog which she brings to the clinic. It's a true pet not a showpiece of neurotic perfection. He's big, he's good-natured and full of friendly energy. My dog who is about one third of his size loves him. There's a white cat, too, which sometimes lies stretched out on the front desk counter. Yeah, I like this vet. It's not a chore to take my dog here. My son drives in all the way from Waterloo to bring his dog here. She's our idea of what a vet should be - trained in veterinarian care - not a high yield salesperson on commission.

I needed to find a new vet after having a horrible experience with my dog at a previous clinic. I was so happy to find Islington Village animal hospital because Dr.Spence and her staff are so amazing.I was nervous about trusting a vet again after what happened at my previous cinic but I was so impressed with Dr.Spence and the way she treated my dog.I was so happy that she did not pressure me into getting any unnecessary tests or shots done. This clinic is great and I would definately recommend it to anybody with a pet.

Dr. Erin is absolutly wonderful! I brought in my adorable newfie puppy Panda for a check up because he had diarrhea and she was excellent! She listened, gave me a number of options, answered all my questions thoroughly and followed up personally the next day to see how he was feeling! For antibiotics, a check up and testing his stool she only charged me 130$! She is just wonderful, I highly recommend! The rest of the staff are courteous and friendly, it is a clean, welcoming environment!
