Locke A. Taylor DVM and Associates

I always enjoy the front desk Ladies, the vet techs And the doctors! It is always surprising when I leave that my bill is not overwhelmingly high in fact it’s overly low. Today Elsie had her nails Clipped -They fit me right in As soon as possible the same day and it was only $14 where as other places might have been about four times as much as about the pricing of the veterinary services. Also, they’re so much lower than those places and the quality is always Amazing. I feel horrible that Dr. Taylor passed away But he is well loved and Very, very missed! His legacy will live on

I brought my cat Batman to the doctor because he was having problems vomiting his food. All the staff were very friendly and very kind, but very relaxed. The doctor gave him Prescriptive kibble to alleviate his digestive issue. She was very caring and concerned about us. I would recommend this Veterinary practice Toni one when I was young I took my pet to Dr. Taylor. And was amazed at his Caring demeanor with the animals. It appears the practice has continued in the next generation.

If I could give Dr Sydnor 0 stars I WOULD !!!! Back in November my dogs ear was almost bit off… she put 3 stitches in that looked like i could untie with my fingers, and a 6 inch drainage tube in my dogs head and within 3 days she had wiggled the loose stitches out and busted the ear open again. Needless to say, my dog had to go through another surgery where a vet LISTENED to us about how active our dog is… and he stiched her with dissolvable sitches, glue and sent us with a cap to keep her from shaking her torn ear when she moved her head. Fast forward to February and I had another appointment with her (should have cancelled and went with someone else but we gave her the benefit of doubt…..), She proceeded to highly recommend $300 worth of lab work on my dog…. Then proceeded to call back with negative fecal results (which she said could be “false negative”)… she also asked to re-test my dogs urine because it was concerning for KIDNEY FAILURE, however the $172 worth of BLOOD WORK said that my dogs kidneys were FINE. And she could not explain to me the rationale behind rechecking her urine other than the timeframe it sat around…. And recommended i bring it back again to sit around for 2 hours…. She kept talking herself in circles about needing to REPEAT LABS ON MY DOG THAT IS ACTING MOSTLY NORMAL… with no perception of a full picture of what could possibly be going on. And deaf ears to what was coming out of my mouth about what my dog has going on at home. I spent 10 minutes talking to another vet at the Staples Mill location, who in 10 minutes and without seeing my dog… SIMPLY BY LISTENING TO ME, she was able to come up with a possible resolution for my dogs hacking cough (that Dr Sydnor INSISTED WAS VOMITING FROM A PARASITE INFECTION DESPITE NEGATIVE RESULTS) Dr Sydnor… a lesson here is you don’t always know better than your patients humans….. DO BETTER AT LISTENING TO PEOPLE…. The doc doesn’t always know better than the people.. that’s true in any type of healthcare. For us, we will avoid your care at all costs !

We are so very happy that we found Locke Taylor. Before we moved to midlo we even drove to them from Nottoway County. Dr. Morgan and all of the staff are wonderful. All of our animals get the best care and the price is about 1/3 of what we were charged at our rural vet. Never do we feel pressured to do expensive treatments, but are always given options. At this practice my mobility service dog is treated for free which is appreciated more than they know. Being physically disabled is expensive (lots of expensive equipment) and my dog works extra hard so her health and well being are extremely important. It's refreshing to see how much this practice gives back to the community. We wouldn't go anywhere else.
