Parkside Veterinary Hospital

My dear boy Banjo (1 year and 9 months old) was seen for about a year and a half at Parkside. We were told that he was a healthy boy, despite his weird quirks and swollen lymph nodes. We went to Parkside with concerns about his lymph nodes, got several hundred dollars worth of testing done, and were told that Banjo would be fine. They told us not to get any more tests because it would be an extra expense on top of the lymphocyte test, which would be “unnecessary” because he was “fine”. In November of 2025, we noticed Banjo was not himself. He was lethargic and not eating and had lost significant weight in the span of a week. We took him to a Pet Urgent Care in the area, and they told us that he was dying of kidney failure as a result of lymphoma. I cannot even describe how it felt to hear

Dr. Meyer is fantastic, as is the rest of the team at Parkside. I have been going to Parkside for nearly 12 years (11 years with my previous dog and this last year with my new pup). In my experience, Dr. Meyer is a superbly competent veterinarian, extremely thorough in her examinations, and an excellent diagnostician. As an example, Dr. Meyer discovered an irregularity in my dog’s intestines – after I had taken him to the ER at Upstate Vet, paid $683, and been told he was just fine (which he was not). Dr. Meyer is also an outstanding communicator. She always explains what she is doing (and why) in real time. She listens attentively when I have any concerns (compared to doctors we’ve all encountered who dismiss your concerns by interrupting you mid-explanation). AND, Dr. Meyer always take

Enzo, our male pure bred shitzu, has been seeing Parkside since he was born. They are extremely competent, efficient, and accommodating (busy work schedules). Enzo is 13 now and living strong and healthy. We have our yearly set with a call or email. Highly recommend, great people, top tier doctors.

Dr. Meyer and her team are very thorough, efficient, and kind. She does not rush and takes the time to ask the right questions. I think she’s one of the most knowledgeable vets I’ve had and I’ve had a fair number over the years. I’ve also seen Dr. Anderson at this clinic and he was quite good as well although his exam was more brief. I like that the clinic is timely with appointments and they show you right into the treatment room instead of having a chaotic waiting room environment that can cause added stress for your pet (especially cats). They do all payments and follow up right in the treatment room as well. Online booking for appointments is also convenient. Overall highly recommended.

They were very patient with Lila wven when she was clearly afraid, I was seen exactly right on time, they were so sweet and nice to my dog…. Everyone from the vet to the tech to the receptionist was amazing and patient.
