What recent reviews say

Staff and vets are consistently praised for gentleness, knowledge, and treating pets like family, with several reviewers citing affordability as a key draw. A serious misreading of X-rays sent one cat to emergency care at added cost, and scheduling times sometimes don't match booking confirmations, so expect to arrive early.

Praised for
  • knowledgeable-and-honest vets
  • gentle and caring staff
  • affordable pricing
  • thorough diagnostic care
Watch-outs
  • X-ray misinterpretation led to costly ER visit
  • appointment time discrepancies

Most clients credit Broadview's front desk staff and reasonable pricing for keeping them loyal through multi-decade relationships. However, a persistent subset reports one or more vets as rushed, dismissive, or indifferent to anxious pets, and recent medication price hikes have raised transparency concerns among long-time customers. The clinic handles emergencies competently (rock ingestion surgery same-day) and earns consistent praise for technician warmth. Staff turnover and vet availability have tightened recently; online scheduling is smooth when appointments exist, but front desk errors and waits can frustrate those with confirmed bookings.

Strong clinical care from select vets-especially in specialty, emergency, and internal medicine work-but marred by steep pricing, aggressive testing recommendations, and inconsistent customer service. Some reviewers report transformative outcomes under doctors like Mason, Malishkin, and Emch; others describe being charged significantly more than competitor quotes for identical or simpler procedures, left waiting hours without updates, or pressured into expensive diagnostics. Billing errors and mishandled payment arrangements have left long-time clients without refunds. The hospital shines when the clinical team takes time to listen and plan carefully; it stumbles on transparency, operational efficiency, and treating cost-conscious or elderly clients with the same dignity afforded wealthier ones. Named vets praised: Dr. Mason (Internal Medicine), Dr. Malishkin (ER), Dr. Oliver, Dr. Fitzgerald, Dr. Raj, Dr. Yeager, Dr. Emch, Dr. Erin Miller, Drs. Millar, Giannasi, Deitschel. A minority of appointments feel rushed or dismissive, and several accounts suggest the facility uses insurance coverage as a trigger to recommend higher-cost procedures. Emergency care quality is inconsistent: some patients receive close, compassionate attention; others endure multi-hour waits in a poorly air-conditioned intensive care room.
