Found a dog in the neighborhood and they quickly helped me with finding her chip and getting in contact with the owners.
We have been so lucky to take our dogs to Buckman Vet. They are all skilled and patient with our reactive dog (after other vet offices weren't) and have always been there to answer questions. We finally feel like we have a team who truly cares for our pets.
Always the best!
This veterinary office is a gem! A caring, thoughtful, and patient staff can make all the difference when taking your frightened pet to the doctor. Every person here does what they can to make every experience stress free for both the animals and their care-takers. Top quality medical care practiced by understanding and compassionate veterinarians and support staff is what you will receive when you bring your fur family to Buckman. 100% recommend.
Best vet! Plan extra time to park!
Can’t say enough good things about Buckman Vet!!! We’ve been going for 2.5 years and when we started with Buckman Vet, we had what we thought a previous vet told us was just a “low energy puppy” but Dr. Lord was able to spot and diagnose our pup with an underactive thyroid, getting this addressed and treated has been a game changer for his quality of life. They are always kind and accommodating with my questions or concerns, prompt to get back to us, and I truly feel they will always do what is best for our dogs. Even when we move out of the Buckman area, we will continue with Buckman Vet! Appreciate each and every employee!!
Great Dr.'s, nurses, and staff all around!
We are here waiting for our appointment. To see the nice doctor.
I moved to Portland a couple of years ago and did tons of research before choosing a vet for my senior cat, Sir Dudess Louise VonLichtenstein. I landed at Buckman Veterinary Clinic based on the glowing reviews. They are certainly not the cheapest vet in town, but I truly believe in my heart that you get what you pay for. I would go hungry before taking my baby to a different vet. Everyone on their staff is kind, caring, and a joy to interact with. Dr. Johnson is an angel, and Em is incredibly gentle and patient with my dramatic little Dude. Their responsiveness and follow-ups are impeccable, and they explain everything in so much detail that I never have follow-up questions. I have been a pet parent for over 20 years, and this is by far the best veterinary practice I have ever visited. Do not let the few negative reviews scare you away. If you want the best care for your fur babies, this is the place to go.
They were good for my cat. That's exactly what I would expect from a good veterinary clinic.
