We LOVE Dr. Shams and the entire team at Pet Veterinary Clinic! Since we started seeing them for our dog babies, we have had only great experiences with them. They take such great care of our pets and are so kind! Highly recommend!

Everyone was super nice and knowledgeable. The vet was very informative on everything needed for the stray cat we found. The only thing Dr. Sham wasn't good at was telling me the prices as we went. I was only told the price of the initial exam and the two shots (first round of shots) which was around $70-$75 and went to the counter to find out it was a whopping $200. Everything included in the breakdown of the bill the cat needed which I understand. However he phrased everything like that was the only option. When I went back to return the $40 flea medicine because I could get it somewhere

My dog is a bit of a psycho when groomed so she always has to be sedated. Bethany the groomer did a great job on her and was very loving and patient with Maggie. We will definitely be going back!!

He saved my dogs life. Literally!! My dog, Lexus, had a tumor that had grown to the point it was blocking her from eliminating waste. When I brought her in, Dr. Shams, was so professional and caring. He removed the tumor which was almost a 1lb in a 10lb dog. She has thrived and is a completely new dog now. I'm beyond impressed with his care and dedication. After using several different vets over the years I would highly recommend Dr. Shams over any other!!! If your fur baby is important to you. He is the one to see!

I had the worst experience having my dog neutered. Avoid Dr. H. Shams, he lied about the price to do the procedure and overcharged me. I offered to send him the phone recording but of course he declined it. I supplied a recent copy of the blood work needed to perform the surgery from my other Vet and he agreed to use it but charged me for one he supposedly took but didn't offer the test results. This Vet is an Iranian with a really bad (fake) English accent and I can only assume they do business different over there. I'm filing a formal complaint with the Texas State Veterinary Board

Best veterinary! They have a customer for life. We came in with our sick puppy, and the doctor was very nice and took very good care of him. If I could give 10 stars I would. Thank everyone who helped us!
