Welcome Our purpose is to provide your pet with the most professional and highest quality medical and surgical care that is available, with individual attention to your pet's needs.About Our NameThe beloved 'Gentle Doctor' statue stands in the Veterinary Court at Iowa State University where Dr. Pribyl graduated from Veterinary school. The statue was sculpted by Christian Petersen who came to Iowa State in 1934. The statue was made in the likeness of Charles H. Stange, then Dean of the Veterinary College. The statue of the 'Gentle Doctor' has become a member and a symbol of the Veterinary Profession.

Gentle Doctor is the only Vet that I trust with my cat, Gigi. They are always friendly and informative, especially with upcoming vaccines or check ups. In the event that I have had to board Gigi for the weekend due to last minute circumstances or emergencies they are very accommodating, and they always help to ease my anxiousness of leaving her overnight. They are very attentive to her needs and she can be quite needy at times. I will never take Gigi anywhere else because I trust Gentle Doctor to care for her, and they always go above and beyond what is necessary!

This place is absolutely amazing. They are very polite, professional, and knowledgeable. They not only deal with your every day household pets, but they also deal with exotic animals. I bring all of my animals to this office. Dr. Fujikala is very helpful, experienced, and compassionate towards your pets.

My wife and I brought our rabbit Holly because she wasn't feeling well.It was on a sunday, so the staff seemed like they couldnt wait to get out of there for the day. They ran tests on Holly and when she came out from the test she looked worse than when we broguht her in. They promised that they would force feed her, but they didn't do that. If the doctors cared they would have nursed her back to health, but all they wanted to do is go home. After all of that and $500. We brought her home and she died 10 minutes later. Before she died I called the office and they said that he behavior was normal. Then she died. I called back after she died. and they sent me right to Voicemail. A caring vet would have nursed Holly back to health. Me and my wife are hearthbroken about our little girl.

It has been my pleasure to be a client of Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital for over 25 years. Dr. Pribyl and his staff have been there for me and my family with care and compassion for all of our family pets. Even helping with the care of pets that weren't ours. Some of our pets have had some very challenging issues and he has been right there to help and to guide us.



Years ago my children would bring every single wounded (sometimes beyond wounded) bird, rabbit, or squirrel they found to Dr. Pribyl's office. They were Always so kind to try to help. I'm sure the office staff is relieved that we don't do that anymore. We are blessed to have such amazing people to take care of our pets.
