We have been clients at Bayview Village for a long time, and Dr Honest has seen a number of our pets. The other reviews are correct in that Dr Honest works a lot less now. We have seen Dr Marion twice now. She is very knowledgeable, and obviously loves the pets she sees. We know with that with time we will develop the same relationship with her that we have with Dr Honest.

Dr. Honest was my vet for many years and is very knowledgeable and empathetic. Will provide you will test results in an understandable matter and provide you with his expertise advice. Unfortunately, he's not around as much as he used to be. When dealing with Dr. Marion in regards to my senior pet she was cold, unempathetic and try to get you to do unnecessary tests and procedures for a money grab. I would never want a pet in her care.

Dr. Marion diagnosed my cat with cancer. It was horrible news, but Dr. Marion was so gentle when she told me. I wasn’t ready to say good-bye, so Dr. Marion did everything to keep my cat comfortable so that I could have more time with him. I was so lucky to get to get that extra time. When it was finally time to put him down, Dr. Marion was so supportive and sympathetic. When I am ready to get another cat, I will definitely be bringing him (or her) to see Dr. Marion.

Not sure why a previous reviewer used wording such "greedy" & "expensive". My vet costs went down by 30% when I changed to BVVC. As for unnecessary tests, in my experience, Dr. H. has endeavoured to minimize my costs by first doing the cheaper diagnostic test & if the results justify further tests, calls me to discuss options with associated benefits, costs & recommendations. As owner of a cat with a multitude of health issues over 19 yrs, I attribute her current good health to Dr. H.'s care. He has never hesitated to call me on his day off with test results so I wouldn't worry. With another cat that developed cancer, one of the staff dropped Meds off at my house when I was unable to make it to the clinic before closing. I should also mention that his diagnostic skills are superlative! My previous clinic charged me hundreds of $$ for 3 return visits & 3 wrong diagnoses. When I took my now quite ill cat to Dr. H., he immediately identified a hyperthyroid & kitty was soon good as new!

Does not have a clue what he is doing. Rip off. Went to another vet who was shocked at prices and treatment given to my dog. I am in process of writing to Ontario vet board to complain.

Location is super clean and staff is nice but they make me feel guilty every time I go when I refuse to all the extremelly expensive and unnecessary exams they try to push for the money. Dr. Honest is friendly yes, but very greedy

I love the staff at Bayview Village Vet clinic. They're wonderful, caring people who looked after my dog beautifully. Yes, they are expensive, but well worth it. Dr. Honest always took lots of time with my dog, Roxie. I hated to leave such a great vet when we moved away!

I'm surprised at the positive ratings. Facilities nice, but everyone I've talked to in the 'hood shared my experience that these folks are out for cash, and like to try to push un-necessary surgeries and treatment. I have had nothing but bad experiences with them, especially in emergency situations when I've had to do there due to distance. I don't doubt the competence, but I'm suspicious of the greed. Beware of expensive tests if you go there.

I brought my 3 year old dog to Dr. Honest and asked about the build up on her teeth, which I was concerned about. I was told I would have to get her teeth cleaned, which would cost about $3000 or try some of their special (and expensive) food. Of course we tried the food first and it didn't change a thing. Finally we did some research and switched her diet completely and the build up was gone within a month! They also keep prescribing 6 months of heart worm meds, to be started each June...apparently to go until November?? We spoke to other vets and were told this was unnecessary. We were paying hundreds of dollars for this medication.The tipping point was when we found a stray dog and brought her in. They couldn't have cared less and we went home with her. We found another stray a year later and took her to a different vet. They took her in, looked her over, kept her there and found her owner! Staff SEEMS nice, but a little deeper and the truth comes out. Just a big money grab!

The best caring vet professionals I have ever found in Toronto. As most veterinarians, their services aren't really cheap, but they are truly considerate in terms of treatments for your pet.In my case, Dr. Honest has been absolutely fabulous. What I like about this clinic is that you won't get charged for unnecessary treatments or studies. They treat your pet as if it was theirs, and the personalized attention reflects that they have passion for what they do. :) Honestly,... the best VETERINARIAN in TORONTO. :)
