Dr. Barkley & team are THE cat's meow. I've followed Dr. B from her previous practicesand am so happy she has her own practice now. She took care of my grand old dame & my semi feral in their old age. After they went over the rainbow bridge, some orange boys came into my life. So I drive from sw Beaverton all the way out there. That should tell you something about the quality of care that is provided.

Excellent experience from start to finish. The staff were all very kind. The doctor was knowledgeable, described a number of care plan options, did an incredibly thorough exam and was wildly kind to my skittish baby. She had peed in her carrier on the way over and they bagged up the wet blanket and put fresh towels in her carrier for the ride home. The visit and medications were $159, an excellent price for the care provided. I highly recommended this clinic.
Price assessment: Reasonable price

I can't speak more highly of the care my cats received here. The team is friendly and fantastic and did their best to help my vet-averse kitties feel comfortable. I'm so glad Argay was recommended to me when I decided to change vets!

DO NOT USE! This company refused to serve me when I specified the standards of care I wanted for my cat. They don't want you, the owner, making decisions. It's their way or the highway. Don't give up control of your cat!

We are sorry that you had a negative experience trying to schedule an appointment. We sincerely hope your kitty finds the right fit for their needs.

I have been bringing my 3 kitties here for years, and I cant say enough about how amazing the vet and her staff are. They care for my kitties as if they were their own, and they leave no stone unturned when faced with an issue that has no obvious solution. I always feel my concerns are listened to with compassion, and their reminders about my cats needs (flea meds, vaccinations, etc) are prompt and come via text and email. I love bringing my kitties to a place where they will only be around other kitties so their stress is as low as possible. Im so lucky to have found them when we moved to the neighborhood.

Everyone at Argay has been so amazing with all of my cats. They were there with me through the treatment of my late cat Cohen. They are still my go-to with my current cats, Winnie and Stevie. Anyone that knows me, knows that my cats are my whole world, and I trust everyone at Argay to help me with everything cat-related that we need!

Took in my adopted stray after he was neutered and treated for a leg wound. Dr. Barkley is a wonderful practitioner and clearly loves animals and cats especially. Staff are very friendly and helpful. I would recommend this clinic to any cat owners.
