Provided by SuperpagesDr Walker is an amazingly compassionate vet. I had a very sick cat who was not getting better with his meds. I called the clinic for Dr Walker and said I was rushing in as an emergency. Sadly my cat died on the way. Dr Walker was waiting for me and took my cat and then asked if the staff had been ready for me when I got there(which they were). He knows his patients and is always asking how they are. He is also familiar with CH which is a condition 2 of my cats have. He is my vet of choice at the clinic! A wonderful vet and a super nice person.

Provided by YP.comGreat veterinary clinic for your fur babies. We really like the staff. We have good times and sad times, but they are always caring and compassionate.

Provided by YP.comI have taken my dogs to Dr. Dykes for years but lately the staff in the front is just rude. Especially the tall slender built older women with the long pepper black hair. I do not feel my dogs has been getting the one on one treatment that they did before. I personally have changed vets.

Provided by YP.comI love Dr. Schriber, he is very competent and caring. This practice is so overcrowded for the facility. The staff cannot keep up with the demands of the appointed patients. They appear to be very caring but so hurried because of the work load. The facility is very outdated and has not been taken care of. Every room I have been in looks like it has not been cleaned in a long time. The wait time before you are put in a room and before you see a vet is unusually long. I will be looking for another vet.

Provided by YP.comI used this vet for many years and he is good but very money hungry, he has changed from a caring friendly neighborhood vet into a money grubber and has a very unfriendly staff.

FEB2015 I was visiting at my parents and took my parents dog in and treated her to a good bath, trimming etc. (They've been clients for 5 years there).They had absolutely no problem taking my out of state form of pay. Now; Nov2015, We relocated here in Oct. and I woke to find my Chihuahua girl with blood in her urine. I suspected a U.T.I. She had one before at about 9wks old. So with my parents reference and my own experience with them in Feb. I called to see if they would see my baby. Now I would expect from a Vet who didn't know me or my family what I experienced but I was blown away. (After an expensive move and deposits, one Parent hospitalized, our Granddaughter hospitalized, all of us getting the FLU & my husband starting his new Job whew!, I asked the receptionist if they'd allow me to post date a...Local Regions Bank, right down the road Home Address Check to our next payday which was in 2wks), The receptionist was really nice and the only part of my experience that was!, She said she'd have to ask the Vets and call me back. She did indeed call back in about 10min's. She said, "the Vets said they wouldn't authorize it but for her to ask the Book-Keeper. The Book-K, told her "No, but mentioned if I could borrow the money from family or a friend I could do that and then pay them in 2wks". I was humiliated to ask in the 1st place. My husband and I have rescued many Dogs/Cats and Love animals! but if I could borrow from anyone before asking to hold my check I would. In both of my experiences it was all about the Money, and this very Lucrative Veterinarians Office could've helped my little girl for very little effort and cost to them for a 2wk wait. My husband tells his customers, If you're never short on cash they'll always get your baby in, but if you're human you can forget them even recognizing you have a animal in your life that's your baby.

Provided by SuperpagesCalled at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night. Apparently woke him up because he got really sassy with me and was not happy being woken up even though he was apparently the emergency vet on call for TWO vets in Foley. My girlfriend was calling another vet and ended up getting directed to Doctor Walker who told her he "had an effing job", he did not say effing, and he would see the damn cat but it would be $150. I work nights and weekends mostly which is why I was calling an emergency number in the first place and was prepared to pay the cost for it. My advice to Doctor Walker is to not be on the call list for multiple vets' emergency numbers if he doesn't like being awakened for emergencies. Most unprofessional person I've dealt with in the veterinary field.

Provided by YP.comCalled at 1 a.m. on a Saturday night. I work evenings and had just gotten home from work. I have eight cats, three just inherited when my mother passed away a few months ago. Her three year old female has suddenly stopped eating and is very lethargic. I have a lot of experience with cats and usually things like that pass. I was worried enough to call the emergency person on call for this clinic and apparently woke him up. He asked me why I had waited so late to call and seemed very irritated that I had roused him. Didn't ask anything about symptoms or anything else about the cat. Didn't try to call back after I hung up on him. If this is the level of professionalism I could expect from this vet then I'll take my problems elsewhere. Make sure you call about emergencies when convenient for this guy.

Provided by YPmobileUsually this is a decent vet clinic, until my visit today. I came in because my dog hasn't been eating regularly and has been throwing up. They tell me nobody can see my dog. Kind of in shock due to the moderate seriousness of my dogs condition. "Come back later." No thanks.

Provided by YP.comI have been taking my two cats to Dr Schreiber at Dr Dykes Vet Clinic for two years now. Dr. Schreiber is fantastic and genuine. One of my kitties got very sick and almost died last year. He treated him and tried to keep everything as reasonably priced as possible which I appreciated, because the Emergency Care Vet in Pensacola took advantage of me. He then called a week later on his own time to check on Henry. Excellent customer service and would highly recommend Dr. Schreiber!

Provided by YP.comWe have used Doctor Dykes and his staff for thirty years, and have never had a problem. Dogs, cats, and exotic birds, this staff has treated all kinds of animals without issue. I have no problem recommending them to anyone who loves their pets, and needs help.

Provided by YP.comI need to let everyone know that my chihuahua-dachshund mix died because I took her to Dykes Animal Hospital on Friday, August 31, because of swelling on the side of her mouth, and they prescribed an antiibiotic that killed her. When I took her to the vet's office, she was happy and rambunctious. We went to this veterinarian because we were forced to evacuate to a friend's house because of Hurricane Isaac. By using a syringe to drain the swollen place, the veterinarian noticed a little blood at the end of the syringe, and declared it an abscess, even though she was not running fever. I told him she had been given Clavamox for months before getting her teeth pulled, because of a kidney infection. He prescribed SMZ-TMP and Clindamycin. She spit out her first dose of the SMZ-TMP on Friday, so Saturday morning, I put it on wet food. She had five doses (two per day) before I realized something was wrong on Monday, so I discontinued her meds and rushed her to my regular veterinarian in New Orleans first thing Tuesday morning. They told me that not only did she not have an abscess, but a swollen gland, that she was now in renal failure, and put her on an IV. By the afternoon, she was much better, able to stand and walk again, and even eating at the end of the day. She died in the night of renal failure. I have tried to contact the vet in Foley. asked them to call my vet for more information, so that this does not happen to another baby, but no response or even acknowledgement that they have received my messages. My dog was elderly and incontinent, but she was in no way sick when she went to that vet's office. SMZ-TMP kills older dogs with kidney issues. I want someone to learn from what happened to my baby girl. I know the veterinarian, Dr. Shriver, didn't mean to kill my dog, but his prescription did. RIP Cleopatra. I would give them zero stars if it was an option. This review won't bring my baby back, but maybe it will help someone else, or maybe some veterinarian will read this and learn from it. That's all that I can ask for at this point.

Provided by YP.comWe have used Dr. Dykes and his associates for over 10 years, and have never had rude or un-professional treatment. So have several of our close friends. But, then again, we aren't snowbirds or yankees......

Provided by YP.comI was very - surprisingly - DISPLEASED with the Doctor that treated my Cane Corso. He was very impatient and rough with our dog and had no compassion for him as an animal. He seemed ultimately displeased with having to deal with a difficult puppy and more or less told me I should put him down. Our puppy is extraordinarily large for a 6 month old. At 70 lbs. he takes a little more patience, in that he doesn't like to be appraoched quickly where he feels threatened. I feel the dr. was "too busy" and "to hurried" to be bothered. They charged me $96 dollars and didn't even take care of the issue we went in for. They charged me to sedate him and fecal clean up but did nothing about the lump on his head. I will not be returning.
