" My fiancé and I were on vacation in Taos when our dog developed an eye infection. We were able to get into this clinic the same day. Dr. Tidwell was super thorough and informative. The front desk was very friendly, even called several days later to check up on our dog. His eyes cleared within a couple of days after he visit.
The price was fair - comparable to our vet at home. "

" While visiting the area, one of our dogs developed a case of diarrhea which hung on for four days. I was hesitant to call this vet due to poor reviews, but other vets in the area had no openings. Taos clinic was able to see our dog that day. We saw the Veterinarian within 5 minutes of the appointment, after examination he was clear and concise giving an excellent overview of the issue and course of action required. As he estimated our dog was feeling better that evening and the diarrhea cleared. Charge for the exam, injection and medication was quite reasonable, much less than anticipated. I highly recommend this clinic. "

" Very good experience. my dog has a severe chronic condition. Taos vet gave us the RIGHT course of meds & were very understanding & forthcoming, very knowledgeable about her condition.
i did not feel JUDGED- as has been the case at another vet in town. the meds were very expensive & i have very little money. the doctor generously gave us a discount on our office visit I have now changed vets "

" Would've given this vet a zero if possible. I'm referring to Dr. Schumer(?). I called him clearly upset because my cats nails are overgrown and piercing her pads.
I have called vets and groomers in taos but they refuse to cut her nails because I do not have proof of her vaccinations. She has NEVER bitten or scratched ANYONE. Due to the fact that she has a big personality and let's people know when she is upset or doesn't like something, they refuse to clip her nails.
When I tried to explain this to him he hung up on me! Will NEVER take my cat to this horrible person. What would He have me do? Put my cat down because she has a big personality. Will NEVER recommend this vet for your beloved family members. "

" I took my dog Luna here a few years ago for a broken pelvis also took her in the middle of the night because she was in pain and lethargic but she just ate something that upset her stomach. Took Nova today and although very busy the vet staff was very friendly to me and my kids. They were also very sweet to my big pitbull who was also very happy to meet them. The appointment cost $50.50, medications about $25 each. Yes vet bills can be pricy but so can doctor bills if you're paying cash. I'm feeling hopeful that Novas treatment will help her skin condition. We shall see. Thanks again for the good service. "

" My family has been using this veterinarian clinic for 30 years. When I was a young child, we had to put down our horse. He came out to our house at the Pueblo and we all said a sweet blessing for the horse. Another time, our black lab was protecting our chickens from porcupines. His mouth and throat had been covered with porcupine needles. Again, Dr. Schubach drove out to our Taos Pueblo house and held my had as he comforted me. He sat with me and my dog as I said goodbyes. Over the years my relatives and I have used his services. He hasn't ever been anything but kind and willing to help our animals. I have tremendous gratitude to Dr. Schubach for his service to our community animals. Will always be my first choice. "

" To clarify: the person complained about rudeness, was a new client who was given services without any payment. When he came back for additional services for another animal, and still did not have any funds to pay. When he was asked how he would be paying, he became angry. "

" I'm really surprised at the number of poor reviews. I have used Taos Vet for about 6 years for my dog and cat, and the service could not possibly be better. Never had a problem with front desk personnel either. Dr Schupbach is great and all of the assistants who have treated my pets have been great as well. "

" Never made it in to see a doctor, experience with receptionist trying to make appointment was unpleasant. Argued with me on the proper care for my exotic animal before the appointment was even made. Not very good experience for a prospective new client. Advice given by the receptionist was contrary to known professional standards on my breed and I could sense that they would not provide adequate care for my animal, possibly even be detrimental to him.

" Being new to the Taos area I called several different veterinary clinics to make an appointment for a very ill barn cat who resides on the property I have recently rented.
Due to the lack of kindness and empathy by many of the community concerning feral cats they have been left to their own survival instincts. If they are inconvenient they are either killed inhumanely or relocated to become someone else's problem.
This cat has never been neutered which has caused him to constantly fight because of his uncontrollable biological urges. I came across him suffering with a purulent wound on his neck. I immediately called the numbers I found on-line hoping to find a compassionate response for this poor creature. I left a message on your message machine to make an appointment to have the wound seen and to schedule to have him neutered.
I was told my call would be returned. To no avail!
The wound is now badly infected and the cat is very ill. I drained the abscess as best I could and applied topical antibiotics to the area. I kept him hydrated and fed but he needs professional help I cannot give him.
Due to him being semi-feral I need an appointed time to be able to catch him. His appearance on the property is erratic. He usually appears very late into the evening.
The earliest appointment I could get from another clinic is 2 weeks away! I have a commitment out of town and have to leave this weekend. No one else here cares about this poor creature and will not take any responsibility for him.
Please do not say on your telephone message that someone will call back if you do not intend to do so, or hire receptionists with at least have some level of compassion and integrity...I fear this cat will die due totally to lack of human compassion. "
