I can't believe I've actually found a vet my girls like! You can tell the dr actually cares about his work and the staff genuinely enjoy coming to work every day. Maybe my dogs could sense the tension before but normally they don't even want to walk thru the doorway of the groomers/vet and I couldn't believe my Lilly let the dr touch her ears and she didn't flinch once! I just moved to the area and needed a same day appointment a couple of months ago. Since then we've gone back several times and I intend to come more often since he's so affordable and goes thru the price of each item while you're in the room (instead of being shocked at the counter after your appointment). And he works with me and my budget and tells me what needs to be done in order of priority which really puts me at ease. My father and ex husband dropped off and picked up our girls the first few times due to my work scheduled and I can't believe he knew who I was even before walking in the door. I've always been able to make same day appointments with Dr. Spellman even at 5pm they were able to get me in and didn't rush me at all. The dr actually showed me how to use the medication he prescribed and went over instructions step by step! He even asked simple questions about their diet and allergies and gave me advice on when to feed them etc. I'm so glad someone finally told me!! I was just going thru the motions for years not knowing how my girls could have had a better quality of life all the while! I'm so glad we found Dr Spellman and his staff. With everything going on in my busy life it's such a relief knowing my girls don't hate going to the vet now and it's very comforting knowing I can actually afford to take them.
As a new customer (moved from Round Rock and needed new Vet for my 4 year old Lab), I wanted to write a review. While scanning other reviews, I found this one from 1 year ago. It is spot on: "No nonsense, direct, and practical advice, treatment, and service. He could take out a mortgage to build a beautiful facility, etc. but why? To up his rates and be forced to up-sell you on every possible treatment, procedure, Rx, etc? No thanks. I'll take Dr. Spellman's practical advice for the great value he's offering. Glad we found him! Treated us with respect and handled our pets wonderfully during all visits. Thanks Doc." That sums up Dr. Spellman's service: Direct (he is a really nice guy, but serious when doing his work), "Old School" (paper and no computers means he listens and explains things to you), and Competent (he has done this a long time). Staff is also friendly and, more importantly, your pet will be cared for with professionalism. If you need a vet and are in the area, look up North Lamar Vet Clinic.
I've been taking my pup here for a couple of years now. It is definitely a no-frills clinic but I don't feel like his care has suffered due to lack of tech/style. I have previously taken him to fancy vets with the newest Macs and trendy furniture and I feel like the quality of care is exactly the same here without the premium prices. I trust Dr. Spellman's experience and diagnoses. He always lays out the price points for different options and doesn't guilt trip you if you can't afford to get the works. This week I brought my 11 year-old shepherd in because he was crying in pain constantly and could barely walk. Dr. Spellman found he had a fever and treated him accordingly. I honestly thought it had to be something more based on how dramatic my pup was acting, but 3 days later he's back at 115%. Like, dude, dial it back a little. Senior dog is racing around my house like he pays his own vet bills. But I'm so glad he's doing better and, obviously, the vet knew best. Thank you!!!
I have been so happy with Dr. Spellman and the staff at North Lamar Veterinary Clinic. Our puppy ended up with us after his original family had to re-home him because their older family dog was extremely aggressive towards him. Because of the quick re-homing, Biscuit didn't come with any paperwork, so we immediately took him in to get his vaccines started. Dr. Spellman also found out that he had hookworm and treated him for that. Vaccines are now underway, and we've been in once for an emergency visit after Biscuit developed a belly rash and started vomiting. I have really appreciated that Dr. Spellman and the staff are so sweet to Biscuit, and that the pricing is both low and transparent. It has allowed me to budget for all of his vaccines, vitamins, and flea/heart worm medications. I have also never had to wait for my appointment time, even for same-day appointments. They are always ready for us when we get there!
Preface this with: my cat is VERY cat reactive and does not typically like the vet. I initially went here one year ago when we needed a new vet for routine vaccines after moving to Austin. I tried a different vet for a check up and she did not like that place at all - they gave me gabapentin that I would have to give her anytime we went back there, and then they claimed she had fleas and tried to sell us flea medication that we already give her! When it came time for vaccines again, I came back to North Lamar and my cat had no stress and 10 minutes later has already forgiven me for taking her to the vet. Really nice staff, doctor is to the point. They do not try to sell you unnecessary treatments. Definitely recommend if your cat has anxiety going to the vet. So happy to have a place I can take her where she feels comfortable.
Very happy to have found a place like this for my kitten. The doctor is very knowledgeable and handles our little baby very carefully. The rest of the staff has been amazing and nice, they seem more like a little family than a group of people working at a clinic. Very reasonably priced, and have been able to schedule same day appointments in cases of small emergencies. The doctor has a very 'Ron Swanson' feel to him, very direct in his approach, but you can tell he truly cares about his practice, pets, and pet owners. Shout out to his assistant (Sergio?) who is just as gentle and caring, and the wonderfully nice lady at the front desk with whom we shared each others cute kitten pictures with as my payment was being processed. If you're looking for a great local vet, I highly recommend trying out North Lamar Veterinary Clinic!
I've been coming to Dr. Spellman for over 4 years now and I could not be more happy. He has been the only veterinarian to be able to work with my 130lb Great Dane - Walter, who admittedly is a bit difficult to work with when it comes to meeting strangers. I've tried taking my pets (Great Dane + 2 cats) to a number of different clinics and all have complained or acted as if they've never worked with an anxious dog before. He and his staff are extremely patient and accommodating. Most importantly for me, Dr. Spellman has always been a refreshingly honest source of information on the best way to care for my pets, even in difficult circumstances. He speaks from experience and always makes great recommendations. On top of all of this, they are extremely affordable.
Finding a vet can be hard, especially being in a different state than where I grew up. The whole staff has made Kuma and me feel comfortable and heard. Not only are they very friendly and loving toward Kuma, they are also very professional and respectful and always give a confirmation call the day before (which is especially nice when we just had a snow storm!). In the first two weeks of having him i must have called half a dozen times, and i either got a helpful response right away or a call back very shortly after :) ... And above all take great care of Kuma when treating him, and now at 13 weeks old, he's super healthy and happy!
Doc, as always you have taken care of one of our sweethearts with great care and expertise!! When our sweet Pom needed a large tumor removed, Doc talked us through it, our options and then got him in quickly to get situation taken care of!! Options were also given for treatment and utmost care taken, as always, with our Beau!! We prayed and God Lead Doc in removing what ended up being a fist sized tumor and he has been healing nicely, thank God!! Thank you, once again, Dr. Spellman for doing what you do best and providing excellent care to another of our fur babies!! Thank you for your many years of help and care!!
First I'd like to thank everyone at North lamar veterinary clinic. My dog was recently involved in a fight with another dog I called them and they had him in to be seen with in the hour same day. Luckily there was no serious damage and was all mostly scratches. The doctor looked over my dog and gave us antibiotics and an ear solution to help prevent infection and even called me a day or 2 later to check up on my dogs progress. They are a very caring vet office and the price is unmatched and very affordable an fast. no long waits from over booking like most vets I've visited. All in all 10/10 experience every visit.
Our lil man, Wes Montgomery, has been getting check-ups since he was 3 months old. He is one healthy corgi thanks to the advice and care of Dr. Spellman and his supporting staff. The advice given is straight to the point with no prancing around the specifics and important facts. Sergio is also very warm and welcoming alongside Wes while administering shots and medicine with Dr. Spellman. Looking at all the antiques and photographs of other furry friends on his wall gives a feeling of years of experience and honest interest in caring for furry friends. Wes will be a longterm friend of Dr. Spellmans' office!
We recently moved back to this neighborhood after a 25 year absence, and needed a new vet. Decided to try North Lamar Vet based on good reviews here and NextDoor and am glad we did. My bluetick coonhound is getting up in years and had slowed down and gained a lot of weight. Dr. Spellman did some blood work and found he had a low thyroid. We got his meds adjusted and Elwood has lost weight and is back to his perky old self. The staff is super friendly and they always give you a choice of options for treatment. The picture is Elwood doing a run on the treadmill back in his younger days!
We needed a new vet after feeling very pressured to get a dangerous treatment for our senior dog and we’re so glad we stumbled upon this bet. Dr. Spellman was extremely upfront with everything, understanding, funny, and kind. Sergio (I believe that was the vet tech’s name) also handled our pup with great care. The receptionists are very friendly as well and got us in quite quickly. After going to a corporate location, we were very happy with the local small town feel this clinic has and it reminded me of my old one in upstate NY. We will be taking all future animals to this clinic.
I am so pleased with Dr. Spellman and his staff and my cats don't fear going to the vet at all!! My kitten just had her spay there and I was so nervous about the procedure, but she was completely fine and had a speedy recovery without any issues! I highly recommend coming here as Dr. Spellman and his staff are friendly, informative, and understanding. Prices are very reasonable in comparison to other places and Dr. Spellman will always be transparent with you about what your pet actually NEEDS, which I greatly appreciate. I will only be going to North Lamar Veterinary Clinic.
I highly recommend the vet clinic of Dr. Spellman and his wonderful staff. I've been taking my new kitten there ever since she was found in a very sick and malnourished state a couple months ago. Spellman and every single member of his team have been so helpful and compassionate. Everyone at this office has a lot of heart and professionalism. They have been clear every step of the way and treat little Coco kitten like a rockstar. Scheduling has been convenient as well and I've been able to schedule same-day appointments when Coco was ill. I am grateful for their care.
I stumbled across this Vet clinic due to my poor Sweet Harper Girl getting an eye wound. Boy I'm glad I did!! They took the best care of our sweet girl when she was scared of her Dr's visit. Well~Me and Harper girl got lucky because the Dr Here is awesome!!~No bull~just straight good old professional Vet care at its best!! From the pet care~to the customer service ~to his staff(outstanding)~ from the after care to the follow up calls~ to my bill all just wonderful...They care! This is definitely our regular Vet from here on outo.Thank you North Lamar Vet clinic.
Dr. Spellman has helped both of our cats tremendously! We adopted 2 former strays: One had terrible gingivitis (and dragon breath like you wouldn't believe). Dr. Spellman cleaned his teeth and extracted some that were beyond repair, and our cat has been much happier ever since, and has gained some much needed weight. Then, the other cat got a bad abscess. Dr. Spellman cleaned the wound, administered antibiotics, and Bob the Cat was obviously feeling better within just a few hours. Dr. Spellman and his team are the best, and I can't recommend them highly enough!
I love this place! The office feels homey and welcoming. Dr. Spellman is kind and understanding while also being practical and no nonsense at the same time. It's a winning combination in a vet. The techs and office staff are lovely as well and very helpful. They schedule appropriately so there's never a crowd, and so they manage to make the whole thing feel like almost like a bespoke experience just for you. Despite that the prices are very reasonable and no one there will try to upsell you for stuff you don't need. I really just can't recommend them enough!
After 3 different vet locations canceled my appointments for my 9 week old Shih Tzu for whatever reasons, I’m glad I came across Dr Spellmans clinic. It was so easy to get an appointment booked with him the day after. I loved how clean and friendly everyone in the office was. I was also seen right away. He let me know the prices of everything before hand. The prices were very reasonable. He handled my little Mia with care during examination and answered all questions I had. He also took the time to explain all medication options I could chose from.
This clinic is so much better than the one we were using. So far, we’ve had 3 appts. Each time they were ready for us so we didn’t have to wait, not even a second! They haven’t over-charged us, a rarity in ATX these days. The doctor is kind, knowledgeable, & calm -good for my dog! I had to bring my very loud & energetic 4 yr old son to our last visit. He had a hard time being quiet, (uh, he’s still loud as I write this!!) but they were all very patient & sweet to him. I feel lucky that we found this spot!
I'm thrilled to share my amazing experience with Dr. Spellman and his exceptional team, who take care of my four beloved cats. Dr. Spellman's expertise, humor, and quick assistance make him an outstanding vet. Sergio, the staff member, deserves praise for keeping my cats calm. The clinic provides top-notch care, creating a joyful and stress-free environment. Highly recommended for exceptional veterinary care with a personal touch for all your furry friends.
Dr. Spellman is the best out there. He takes immense proud of his job and takes great care of our dog. Surprisingly, our loves to go his office... weird right? He loves the Dr. staff. Our dog doesn't complains when the doc is examining him or whines when they vaccinated him. He truly is the dog whisperer. I'm really happy about the care our dog receives in this clinic and also happy how the doc and his staff treats us like we are family when we are there.
Dr. Spellman and his staff are beyond amazing. I literally walked in without an appointment because my cat was VERY ill. I had never been there before and they could have turned me away and said they had no openings. Instead, Dr. Spellman saw my cat and he is now completely healthy. The place I took my cat to the previous day tried to charge me $1500 and they were anything but compassionate. Dr. Spellman charged me 1/4 of that. I can't thank you enough.
We took our 3 large dogs there for the first time today. We loved Dr Spellman. He was willing to work with us to make sure we got the best service even though we were working with a budget and couldn’t do everything. The tech and receptionists were also wonderful with our dogs and us. They are a small clinic, and it was a great calm atmosphere for our dogs. We will definitely be going back and making Dr Spellman our official full service veterinarian!!
I didn’t have a primary vet when I moved here, and was recommended to Dr. Spellman by a family member. He has always been kind, knowledgeable, and straightforward with every evaluation and appointment I’ve ever had with him. From the first time we met, I always knew he had my dog and my own interests at heart. His staff is wonderful, and they are all supportive and friendly. If you need a vet in the Austin area, look no further. You found him.
Dr. Spellman is very knowledgeable and cares about both you and your pets. My family has been going to him for 40 years! The facility has seen better years, but I’ve found they have everything you need. Dr. Spellman doesn’t sugarcoat things and will let you know all options for care, while giving you his honest opinion. Prices are very competitive and he is conscious that money can be an issue when making decisions about care for your pet.
I have had nothing but good experiences when taking our puppy into Dr. Spellman for his routine visits/vaccines. He has always been efficient, clear and concise with his advice, and willing to answer any questions I have. His staff is well trained and does a great job at helping the appointment run smoothly. I would highly recommend this clinic and Dr. Spellman to anyone looking for a competent, no nonsense veterinarian for their animal.
I will be forever grateful to find this place. You can see how Dr Spellman genuinely cares for the animals. He fixed up our Bear. Now Bear is looking healthier and happier. The other vet gave us the run around and nothing help our dog. They were charging us a lot of money if anything it made our Bear worse. Dr Spellman saved our Bear from having to have surgery. All Thanks to this vet I will never go to another place besides this place.
Dr. Spellman is a great doctor. He is so knowledgeable and has been doing what he does for many years. My kitten had a spray surgery done by him. She has been doing great since day one. I appreciate him and his staff for squeezing me in. He is not there to chitchat and I can appreciate his direct approach. In addition it’s a great place to have a great veterinarian that you can actually afford. I glad I found him. Thanks Dr. Spellman!
Dr Spellman and his staff are AWESOME! I love how Dr Spellman tells you exactly what needs to be done and helps save you money anyway he can, if possible. He is blunt and straightforward. I have never seen a vet so good and gentle with animals. He has made all my cats and dogs feel comfortable despite their nervousness and/or their condition. I used to dread taking animals to the vet but Dr Spellman takes away all my worry. Thank you!
Amazing veterinary service where they actually listen to what pet owners are seeing and experiencing with their pets and provide treatment as needed without pushing tests or other services. Tremendously appreciate the amazing support this clinic provided, especially as one of the only open vet clinics during the ice storms accepting new appointments. affordable and down to earth service that provides great care and treatment for pets.
This is a great veterinary clinic! I took my puppy here to get her shots and ticks resolved, but I was anxious about "fixing" my first dog ever. In the end it was a great decision. The doctor did an amazing job with her spay surgery and I was told by friends that what I paid was very reasonable. His assistants are awesome and obviously learning alot from him. The receptionist is also friendly. I will continue taking my pup here.
No nonsense, direct, and practical advice, treatment, and service. He could take out a mortgage to build a beautiful facility, etc. but why? To up his rates and be forced to up-sell you on every possible treatment, procedure, Rx, etc? No thanks. I'll take Dr. Spellman's practical advice for the great value he's offering. Glad we found him! Treated us with respect and handled our pets wonderfully during all visits. Thanks Doc.
Dr. Spellman is a wonderful doctor with several decades of experience under his belt. My puppies felt very comfortable with him. He doesn't have the cold professionalism that younger vets might have. He's just open and sincere. His prices are on the higher end, however, and I'm not sure the value is justified. I would clarify beforehand with the office how much you will be expected to pay and then compare with other places.
This is the only vet I have used since moving to Austin a year ago. I take my cat here for all of his care needs. What I really appreciate about Dr. Spellman's office is how efficient it is. I like being able to make an appointment usually next day if it's urgent. I also enjoy being able to talk with Dr. Spellman over the phone directly if I have a question about at home care, or instructions. Highly recommend this place!
Dr. Spellman and his team did an amazing job with my puppy. They gave him his vaccinations so fast that my puppy didn’t even whine, and pet him the entire time to ensure he was comfortable and happy on the table. I am very also very happy with the way Dr. Spellman explained everything he was doing and everything my puppy needed. I will definitely be bringing my puppy back for anything he needs!
My cat was sick and I couldn’t find a vet that had any availability. My friend recommended this clinic. I am so happy I came here. The vet was so knowledgeable and friendly. He made me feel at ease, even though I was so worried about my cat. He had lots of jokes too! He worked with our budget and I didn’t feel pressured to get anything extra. My cat is feeling so much better. Thank you!
Highly recommend! My dog had been suffering from allergies and a skin infection for months, and our previous vet never managed to get it under control. When we came here everything that was recommended and prescribed worked perfectly and my dog is doing the best that he’s ever done! My dog is also extremely fearful and reactive at the vet and they were very accommodating with him!
We've been taking our puppy here since we got her and everything has been great. Appointments are easily made and the staff is wonderful. We needed to take her in last minute today due to a broken nail and I was able to get in right away to get her checked out. We are so incredibly grateful for Dr. Spellman and his team for taking time at the end of their day to treat our puppy.
I’ve been taking my cat to Dr. Spellman for about a year now. His staff is friendly and efficient. He is straightforward and really considerate of cost. He definitely doesn’t try to overprescribe things and lays out what every treatment will cost. He has a calmness that I think really just comes with years of experience that helps put me at ease when I’m worried about my cat.
I’ve been going to this clinic for the last 1.5 years. Everyone’s very nice there. Doctor Spellman is transparent around costs, patient with questions, and has a great sense of humor to boot. He’s been operating this clinic for 52 years and loves doing what he does. I just got my dog spayed there a week ago and the experience was really smooth, everything went perfectly.
Despite initial apprearances, Dr. Johnny is a friendly, intelligent veterinarian with technical expertise. He is well-liked by me. One suggestion would be to upgrade the clinic's website, if Dr. Johnny reads this review I would like to improve his vet's website upgraded. The assistant Tiffiny and another gentleman assistant also provided good service (always smiling)
I'm new to the area and was looking for somewhere reasonably priced with exceptional care for my fur babies. Glad I went to this clinic and will use them for my pets care. They were able to see all 5 of my babies on the same day and were quick and efficient while also being thorough. Great doctor and staff with experience in providing the best care possible
We take our fur baby to this office. Today was the first time I met Dr. Spellman and he was very professional. Him and his staff were excellent with my high energy dog. We were in and out of the office very quickly which I greatly appreciated and he gave me very clear instructions for after care. Will absolutely continue taking my fur baby to his office!
We luckily found Dr. Spellman when looking for a reasonably priced spaying for our calico kittie, "Kemosabe the Killer Kat"! Dr. Spellman has been taking care of Kemo, and our two puppies, "Roxy the Wonder Dog" and "Dixie Doodle", for over three years now! Thankful to have found such a wonderful veterinarian, and person! His staff is pretty great, too!
I have known Dr. Spellman since 1974.He took great care of both my German Shephards for several years. My wife and I left Austin for many years and returned to the area in 2019 and retired. He now takes care of both our dogs. He is very knowledgeable, thorough and truly care about animals. I highly recommend him and his entire staff. Steve Smith
Dr. Spellman and his staff are the best. I took my newly adopted kitten here and he was so quick to diagnose and treat her issues as well as educate me! Everyone at the clinic has been so compassionate and helpful. I’m so glad I found a vet that takes such good care of my baby. Thank you Dr. Spellman and your staff, y’all are awesome.
I had a great experience with Dr. Spellman and his staff. They made my cat feel very comfortable in what I'm sure was a scary experience for her. Dr. Spellman gave me a straightforward and simple plan of action and that is something I really appreciated. I highly recommend this place and will definitely use them again in the future!
Amazing experience here, one of my dogs had some gland issues, I called in and they had me in the next day. Took all of 15 mins in and out and my dog was feeling 100% better the next day! Great customer service, very helpful and fast and very up front about what needed to be done. Very much appreciate everyone there that helped!
Dr. Gianfranco Spellman and his team are very professional, kind and truly care about your pet. I’m glad I found this vet clinic where I know I’m getting great care for my animals and isn’t expensive at all. Great clinic and even greater people here. I will continue to come here and recommend people to bring their pets as well.
Have visited twice with our 2 months old pup, and the staffs are great with phone call reminders! The vet is professional and funny! We have to fly with the pup in a month, and he made sure to make time for our pup to get all of her parvo vaccinations! Great experience and will continue going back with all future appointments!
Old school care at an affordable price. Doctor is the best and has helped my dog Toby through two bouts of HGE. He now has him on a special diet that has remedied the problem. They give you options and don't shame or pressure you when you can't afford the best option. Techs are sweet and helpful. My favorite vet in Austin.
I've been coming here for years. Doc has always taken good care of my pets, and he and his staff are always great! I actually think they enjoy Apollo and I when we visit, and are honestly concerned for his health and give several options for care. (Having a Doberman is kind of a pain...lol) Thanks y'all for being awesome!!
This is a brand new facility with a sizable waiting room (important when sitting with a nervous animal). The clinic is always busy, I'd mistake it for a train station if I didn't know better. The staff does their best to greet everyone as they come through the door. Thank you LVC for your generous care for my Charlie.
This vet is awesome! Dr. Spellman is straightforward and super helpful. He has has been helping my fiancé and I with our new kitten! We got her shots and spayed here. I love that this place is affordable and low stress. The vet techs have also done a great job gently holding down and calming our skittish older cat.
Love this place. I'll be bringing my buddy Saint here from now on. Definitely consider bringing your animal to them if you're looking for a place. The Seasoned gentleman that helped me was AWESOME, was very informative, funny, and was smooth as silk. They sure know their stuff, over 40 years in business I was told.
Been going to Dr. Spellman for the past year and he has been so patient and supportive with my dog Jackson as he’s gotten older. We had an emergency last week and the doctor was able to squeeze him in between appointments to check him out and give Jackson the care he needs. Thanks so much for all you do!
Dr. Spellman is the *nicest* to my cat. He makes each visit as quick and painless for my little guy as possible while being gentle, thorough, and making sure all is well. Everyone who works here is super sweet as well, and their pricing is definitely reasonable. Smokey and I give them 5 stars all day.
I finally found a vet that I felt comfortable returning to with our boy, Legend! I appreciated that Dr. Spellman explained everything before he did it, and why he was doing it and allowed me to observe it all. The staff as a whole are top notch. I would recommend this clinic to absolutely anyone.
We have been taking our 18 week old Germans Shephard here for his shots. Dr. Spellman is very informative and great with our puppy. Visits are quick, the clinic is clean, and his staff are always very friendly. They answer any questions we may have when we are there and are very accommodating!
We moved out of state, and unfortunately could no longer see Dr. Spellman and we definitely miss him! We still have not found another vet with the same level of care, honesty, and competence for our dogs. If you live in Texas, in the Austin area, I highly recommend him and his whole staff.
Dr. Spellman has been our vet for 19 years and we wouldn't go to anyone else. He is the best in town! Our pets love him because he is very gentle and attentive. He always checks our fur babies from stem to stern. We trust him and his judgement. Dr. S is simply the best! He's funny, too.
These folks are incredible to work with. Always reliable, responsive, incredibly knowledgeable and really care for your pet. Originally went for an emergency visit - they fit me in the next day, had my cats meds on hand, and the whole appointment was quick and painless. Thank you!
I'm very happy with the care my cat received at North Lamar Vet Clinic. Dr. Spellman is thorough and I really appreciate his no nonsense approach. He is also very transparent with pricing of his services, which is refreshing. My kitty was in such capable hands. I am so relieved!
Thank you so much for all the information, Im also very happy i got the appointment fast and they took great care of My Baby Nala. Shes super happy now she got her shots made an appointment for her second round of shots she even got a free bag of food. She loved it by the way.
My dog needed emergency care and I was extremely grateful Dr. Spellman was able to see her right away. My dog was well taken care of and is already feeling better. Thank you so much for your taking care of my fur baby especially during this freeze storm Austin is having.
Fantastic experience! Not only do I appreciate that their pricing is listed online, Dr. Spellman is super easy to work with and is transparent with you. Their staff was super friendly, professional and had all 3 of our animals fully taken care of in less than an hour!
When I found an abandoned puppy they were able to squeeze me in on short notice. They took great care of my pup and got him all hits shots and meds. Highly recommend if you're needing a vet! Great vet with a great sense of humor and a very friendly helpful staff.
These guys care!! They make the extra effort to put you at ease no matter the situation. They explain things in a way any pet owner can understand. They helped bring my baby boy back from the edge! Will continue to go there and hope you all choose these guys too!
Dr. Spellman and his staff are attentive and thorough with our cats’ visits, and always helpful to make sure they get the care they need. They are upfront with us and gentle with animals, the environment is not chaotic. plus no hidden fees or pushing products.
Recently took my puppy Arlo here really loved it! Arlo is my first dog and I’ve had a hard time finding a vet I trust! Doctor Spellman and his team are awesome! They remind of the vet that I grew up taking our family pets to! We are definitely going back.
I called about my cat and doc was able to see me within the hour. Super easy quick visit and he really knows what he’s doing. He’s able to chat with on the phone afterwards and has been super helpful. My cat is doing much better, thank you Dr. Spellman!
Respond to concerns or questions by phone or doctor’s visit, provide quality, relevant and timely assessment and check-up of our new puppy-Panda GSD and care for the overall well being of our new puppy (with the North Lamar vet clinic since August 2021)
I highly recommend Dr Spellman and the entire staff at North Lamar Veterinary Clinic. They handle my pets (I have multiple cats) professionally, properly, and gently. I have been bringing my pets here for over 25 years and always receive the best care.
Switched from a competitor due to pricing and location. Great and friendly staff. The vet was upfront and broke down the details. Surgery went smooth and our boy couldn’t be happier. 10/10. Do your pets a favor and choose North Lamar Veterinary Clinic.
North Lamar Veterinary clinic squeezed me in on a Saturday for a initial checkup on our new puppy Bulleit. Dr. Spellman and his staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. I will continue to use to use North Lamar Veterinary Clinic for my Pug.
Dr. Spellman is great, as are his tech and receptionist. They run a very smooth operation, and I love that Doc has been open since 1971. That's an amazing wealth of knowledge and experience that's benefitting my sweet boy Bowie, aka Beau Bow. :)
My pup and I had a great first experience here. Dr. Spellman was very reassuring and smooth with my pup. On top of that, he didn’t charge for a UV Light test (which runs for $55), so I am very grateful for that and will definitely be returning!
I found this vet based on their great reviews and they definitely lived up to each one of them! The staff is so accommodating and they don’t try to upsell or up-charge you. I’m so glad we finally found a vet who actually cares about our dog.
The vet doctors and nurses are very kind and helpful. They were able to help two of my cats who were sick. Honestly, this veterinary clinic is one of the best places to go if your pet is sick, and I will recommend it to family and friends.
Love my neighborhood vet! Dr Spellman is very thorough and informative, knowledgeable and personable. I take all of my pets to him and they have received great care. He is a proponent of preventative care and I am all for that! Thanks doc!
I've brought my shih tzu twice and they're always nice and helpful. Dr. is very honest about the options and prices so you can decide depending on your budget. Good at providing detailed instructions on how to resolve any pet issues.
Been bringing our two very large dogs here for years. We have always had good experiences. One of our dogs had serious aggression issues, and they were very good at making the visits work safely and with as little trauma as possible.
We've had his annual checkup and vaccinations here two years in a row, it has been a great experience. The vet and staff are nice and helpful. It is a quiet office, which our anxious dog appreciates. We will be back again next year.
Dr. Spellman and his staff are very experienced and I trust them with my dog, Sadie! Sadie has anxiety no matter what clinic she goes to, so I appreciate that they are always quick and efficient, but also gentle and kind with her.
Dr. Spellman is the best. He and his staff are always so friendly. He is very straightforward which I appreciate! His office feels like a small town vet clinic which I just love. I will always come to him and ALWAYS recommend him!
First vet I went to for my pup! He’s very affordable, no-nonsense, punctual, and funny. This is a real down to earth place with a great reputation in Austin, and they’ve been in business a long time and it shows. Thanks doc!
I didn't care for the vets in South Austin! Trust me, it's worth the drive to go to his clinic. The techs were remarkably caring! Dr.Spellman is very caring and has 46 yrs of experience. You want him to be your pet's vet!!!
Great experience! Staff and Veterinarian are down to earth and personable. I felt comfortable with the care my pet received. They were understanding and handled business. Even when business is handling a crazy cat!
I've been taking my two cats here for three years now, and Dr. Spellman is one of the best vets around! he's extremely caring and incredibly patient even when working with my more temperamental and vet-hating cat.
Dr Spellman and his team are very professional but also personable. My dog has only been there twice but so far I’ve been impressed. Dr Spellman has a great sense of humor and makes you and your dog feel relaxed.
The vet really takes the time to examine each patient. I took my dog in really bad shape and the vet was able to get my dog back on track in a week after he was very weak. This place I highly recommend!!!
Very friendly front desk each time! I will say it only has 2 rooms so it is not a place you can board, nor do they have X-Rays as far as i know. Other than that, it’s a great vet clinic and all you need!
The vets here are amazing. They make my dog feel at home and he enjoys going to the vet. The pricing is economical. Glad i found these guys. I would never take my dog to any other vet. Highly recommend
My baby had a bad yeast infection and allergies and Dr.Gianfranco was able to cure my baby. She eats more now and has more energy and is a much happier doggy. Thanks so much to Dr.G and the staff!!
Brought our recent rescue in for a same day appt. Our usual vet was out of town, but I’m very happy to have discovered this practice! Dr. Spellman is straightforward and his team is very caring.
This is a great place. I loved the experience. The staff is really friendly they provide all the necessary information, they are bilingual as well. Definitely, this is my favorite veterinary
Dr. Spellman has been great taking care of our pup since the day we brought her home! The office is super friendly and can usually see us the same day if needed too. Definitely recommend!
We love going to Dr. Spellman! As a first time dog owner, I learned a lot in each visit. He’s kind and funny and knows his stuff. The prices are fair and our pup is well taken care of
