Waite Park Veterinary Hospital

This vet clinic is the absolute best place to bring your baby! The staff is incredibly kind and compassionate in everyway shape or form. When we brought our dog there who was aggresive towards strangers to get fixed and they let us be there the entire procedure! From the moment he was placed on the procedure table to when he was waking up, we were there for almost all of it. I'll always recommend this place as everything about it is so wonderful! The vet is also straight up and honest to you about everything which is an amazing plus. He clearly cares about animals and will take the best care of your baby. (Heres our handsome baby boy)

Honestly.. I would not recommend bringing your pet here. I brought my cat here due to him having what I assumed to be an upper respiratory infection and instantly was scolded that my cat was an indoor and outdoor boy. He made me bring him back in for drop off the next morning to run tests on him which ended up being $725. The only thing he could say was it was bad news bears for Meeko and that it appeared he had heart failure with a couple of weeks to a few months to live. No factual proof of any of this. He said I needed to get an echocardiogram to confirm this and of course, I'm in panic and want to do anything and everything I can for my boy and order the echo. To then, almost a week goes by, and he gets the echo. And the vet says, his heart appears perfectly fine, but he has asthma (wh

I will never stop praising this DR. I refer everyone I know here. I brought my cat here due to a mystery sickness, she was so sick I was worried she would pass. The techs and vet here took her as a patient immediately and treated her. They showed me compassion and treated my baby with love. I highly recommend this clinic; prices are fair, and the staff are amazing. My cat is back home recovering now after being cared for for 4 days. *updated 8/15/25* Dr Neilson has once again saved my babies from an infection in their respiratory systems. His care was quick, to the point, and not overly priced. I will always go here for care ❤️❤️ the staff are so kind, they let you visit your pets if they ate held for treatment, and they always return calls. Thank you so so much for saving my girl and not

I brought my cat in the day after a traumatic experience. She was hiding, not eating or drinking, and just laying down. When they went to take her temperature, it was 95°F. Dr. Nielsen told me if it had been 1° lower, she would be dead. He comforted me in the best possible way: prepared me for the possibility she might be leaving me and "going to heaven." But that didn't happen. They fed and nurtured her, diagnosed her with liver failure, prescribed medications for her, and kept her at the hospital while I visited daily. Finally, she had begun to respond! The entire team works very hard and deliver such excellent care. Five stars!

The Vet there is probably the most honest man when it comes to animals. You'd have to me him to understand what I mean. He's just old school and it gives you a sense of comfort, knowing he sticks to the facts.
