Report
Took my one year old cat in for vomiting, not eating and hiding. He was seen by Dr Voss and I paid $1300 for fluids, 3 day inpatient stay and X-rays. 4 weeks later he starts vomiting and not eating again. Also noticed a piece of thread hanging from his butt. I called Spirit talked to vet I asked if the thread could have been there one month ago and he said its possible but he didnt see it on The X-rays. I asked what I should do next next was told that he cant approve for my cat to be seen the next day because his schedule is full but maybe the two other doctors can see him but I would

HIGHLY disappointed. I have been going here for the last 12 years, and WILL NOT GO BACK. I had a scheduled appointment for the morning, they called me a few weeks prior to ask if I could change the time, which i did. Came in today, girl at the front desk couldn't find my appointment, had to go ask someone else, came back and did not acknowledge me, finally I asked if my appointment was found, (she thought someone else was helping me) We finally went into a room and proceeded to wait for over 30 min. What's the point of having an appointment, if they were running late, someone should have said something

We have been long time patients at Spirit of 76th for our dogs and cats. One of my daughter's cats had a tooth abscess/emergency extraction and needed to see the emergency vet. The emergency vet asked us to follow up with our vet within one week to make sure there isn't any infection. Spirit provided no options for us, didn't call us back regarding the appointment (we had to call multiple times) - no possibility to be seen before middle January. I'm now looking for a new vet. Loyalty means nothing!!!! I made the mistake of referring people to this vet!!!

I only called to get info. Staff was wonderful. Was not able to get in for new appointment for 3 months so I looked elsewhere. Prices were average compared to other clinics

Pros: Staff are friendly and vets ask questions without being condescending.
Cons: Expensive. They overcharged me and then put a credit on my account instead of my credit card; I notified the person immediately after receiving the receipt but he apparently was unable to credit my card. I overheard a staff member telling another staff member that they only slot in one appointment for a new patient per day. They'll keep moving out days until they have a "new patient" appointment available - even if that's months away (which I can confirm first hand from switching my animals there a year ago and

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. The wait times are a bit long on the phone, you can get a call back or set up appointments easier using their Pet Desk app.
