Reviews of Sturgeon Animal Hospital (Hospital)

Susan Brown

We’ve been going to Sturgeon Animal Hospital for a few years now. Dr. Rory is great with all of my dogs. The girls that work in the front and the back are all amazing. I can’t explain how much their love and support meant to me last week when we had to put down our beloved 10 year fur baby. Thank you from the bottom of our heart for your compassion while she was here and in her last days.

My girlfriend says they are awesome with fair decent prices.

Best staff and vets

Shandy Newitt

After our vet retired from here we were very sad as she was incredible. We saw Dr Rory and he had amazing bedside manner. His knowledge was very helpful and we were very happy to see him. Would highly recommend this clinic!

Karen White

I cant even say enough good things about the ENTIRE team at Sturgeon Animal Hospital! They are always kind, caring and professional with each visit for our little dog. Dr Watts is amazing at his explanations, follow up and being so incredibly patient each time we see him. Thank you!!

Bobby Warring

Wouldn't go anywhere else. Staff is tremendous, and honest.

Kim Dorcas

They have been really great about upfront about costs but also really kind to my animal which is what I appreciate

Derrick H

We have taken two of our Bulldogs to Sturgeon Animal Hospital in the last seven years and the practice is exceptional. They are supportive, educate on concerns, and operate with a professional standard. Both our dogs walked right in the door, even after surgery. They also directly bill insurance providers.

I just edited my rating to 5 stars. ???????????????????? This place is so accommodating of my little guy (an energetic Morkie named Buddy) and other pets that I've seen when in and out. I trust them with my furkid and always find the front staff, vet technicians and doctors to be very thorough and helpful. I really appreciate the caring people at Sturgeon Animal Hospital and recommend them whenever someone is looking for a vet. Btw, they have moved to their new location (near Coscto) and curbside food pick-up worked well on my first visit. I'm hoping to tour the new facility (when #COVID19AB rules allow) but will continue to use them regardless. They are technically further from my home (driving distance) but I would have followed them anywhere! ???? #LoveThem ????

Best in St Albert

Doug Silvestri

Best vet you can see in St Albert hands down I have 3 pets and have had many others friends and family use this service and it's been nothing less then a blessing to have. So grateful we have you guys!

Derrick Meyer

I wouldn't trust my fur family with anyone else

Bradley

Extremely patient with our dog and finally won her over in the end. Very knowledgeable about what was going on. Will definitely be using them again whenever needed!

Dustin Bleker

My dog was having GI issues that had the potential to require surgery. Sturgeon didn’t have the equipment to do it non surgically, rather than just operating and taking my money sturgeon referred me to a vet with an endoscope. He was able to have the mass cleared with out being cut. Sturgeon put the needs of my dog ahead of profits, they are great people!

Dan Arquero

Rory has created and amazing vet clinic. He along with all of his staff and other vets are amazing, we will not take out animals anywhere else!

Kim Olson

Incredible vet. Very reassuring and knowledgeable. I definitely recommend it!

Jay Shep

The receptionist was very helpful! And knowledgeable.

Cindy Romanyshyn

I called here this afternoon frantic and in tears, as my dog was having a severe allergic reaction to vaccines she received this morning. Her whole face was swollen, her eyes were barely open, she was vomiting and lethargic. The lady on the phone simply said, we are closed in a half hour and all booked up. In any other circumstance, this would have been fine. It was urgent and every second counted. I feel like an appropriate response would have been to assist. I live five minutes from this clinic. Thankfully I was able to find another clinic in St. Albert that simply said, yes bring her in. We all love our pets and a little bit of flexibility can make all the difference.

Carol O'Kell

My 6.5 year old boxer had ACL surgery 2 weeks ago and Dr. Wien's and all the ladies were amazing. Thank you for always showing us compassion for Rooney. He loves you all so much. We have been dealing with this vet since Rooney was 10 weeks old and always been completely satisfied. I highly recommend Sturgeon Animal hospital for all your animal needs.

Chloe Thomas

Dr. Nancy Bruyere is great with our puppy!

Lynn Phan

My senior shih tzu had surgery done on her eye back in june by Dr. Rory, we were referred by our regular vet and i only have great things to say!! Coco had an ulcer in her eye, we went to two other vets before we got an appointment at sturgeon animal hospital and the other places had told us that we should remove her eye. after having a consultation with dr rory he told us that he can save her vision and her eye! I was so relieved..she is healing great, shes usually grumpy but seems like a completely different dog now after her surgery. i’m so grateful to all the staff at Sturgeon animal hospital

Ela Stelck

We love the caring service here.

Ishvinder Singh

Doctor was really friendly..

Christine Hoskins

The staff made me feel understood and they were compassionate. They gave me a quote in the spot without an appointment for my dogs teeth cleaning and their pricing was competitive.

Katie Mustafayeva

Dr. Joel is a very gentle and thoughtful vet. He will go the extra mile to ensure all your questions are answered and will even respond to email inquiries about possible ailments. Katie (reception) is so kind and patient. I don’t live in St Albert but I go here because I trust Dr. Joel completely.

Meagan Hazlewood

Dr. Rory is amazing! He loves animals and is patient and kind with all of them; even my high anxiety rescue dog that is afraid of men is happy to be treated by Dr. Rory. The technicians and support staff are also amazing and take time to get to know their cli note. Dr Rory accommodates us and provides special care for our unique circumstances. Additionally he supported our local rescue with offering discounts for treating a litter of puppies.

Justin Christian

Quick and knowledgeable staff. Great experience.

Leanne Dewolfe

Dr.Weins and the staff here are totally amazing. Dr.Weins was great with helping us figure out what was wrong with our girl's eye. He explained to us in great detain on how to help her cope with her new blindness and assured us she would adapt. He recommended some ideas and reading material. They sure care about the pets here.and I would highly recommend you see them.

Klint Kolach

Everybody there was so helpful and friendly. They were able to answer all my questions. I will definitely be coming back.

Javier

Friendly and took the time to answer all questions. Didn't try to push any products etc

K Fresh

My kitty had injured herself on a Thursday night. i was able to call Sturgeon first thing Friday monring and they were able to accomodate me. The receptionist was very polite and caring as I was under alot of stress. I have seen 2 different vets at the clinic and they are nothing but professional. I fully expected to have to pay lab fees and xrays, but they tried to fix my kitty without racking up a huge bill. i would recommend this clinic to any one who wants the best for their pet.

Randy Horan

Good experience nice staff

Marjorie Corcora

Very caring atmosphere. Highly professional staff. The vets here are just amazing..love them all!

Scott Snaden

My Shih Tzu had a reoccurring eye ulcer that failed to heal properly for a year and a half.My local vet recommended Dr Wiens and I am so happy that she did.I'm glad to say that Amy's eye has finally healed.The staff are friendly and were very kind and gentle in their handling of my pet.Dr Wiens was very thorough and explained everything in a easy to understand manner.Top notch clinic for your pets eyes.Couldn't be happier with their service.

Kim Denman

We would like to thank Dr. Watts and Sturgeon Animal Hospital for the service we received today. We brought out dog in as he had an ear infection which we knew was a secondary issue to an allergy and Dr. Watts took the time to go over all the details WITHOUT saying that the only way to help was running an exhaustive list of tests. For the first time in a year and half we feel like we actually have a plan to try and determine Rolo's allergies. Thank you!!

Melissa Mackay

She was so caring! Took her time to make my dog feel comfortable being there for the 1st time. Front desk girls were very sweet. They have multiple foods, treats and shake toppers inside

Dan Lovelace

Great staff to take care of my pet after being to another vet who couldnt diagnose my dog these guys are great!!!!!!!

Heather Middleton

All the staff are very friendly, helpful and understanding. My kitten passed away post-surgery to no fault of their own, and they were very kind and answered all my questions. They made a devastating moment as easy for me as possible. Would 100% recommend.

Kevin H

This has been my vet since I moved to St. Albert 4 years ago. Dr. Rory is amazing and I’m glad I found him. It’s tough selecting a new vet you can trust and count on for the little fury family members but this place is great. All the staff are awesome, helpful and nice. I’ve appreciated them at every visit. I would recommend the Sturgeon Animal Hospital and staff to anyone that’s asks.

Sandy M

Rory and his staff are all very caring, knowledgeable and accommodating. Best of all you don’t get bent over ever time you walk through the door. If you have a pet with any kind of eye issues, this is the place to go.

tera imrie

Amazing staff and doctors

jjkh marit

Professional and very dedicated . Highly recommend

Zoe Majeau

Just had one of the most wonderful experiences here with Dr Miller, which is saying a lot considering the circumstances. The staff was very pleasant and kind to my dog, I had no concerns with them taking her in alone. I will be changing over to Sturgeon Animal Hospital permanently for my fur babies!

Kyla Dupuis-nabholz

Amazing staff very friendly and informative.

Lori Howden

My cats Moshiba and Dexter have been coming to Dr. Nancy for years and we love her! Hesitant Moshiba feels very comfortable with Dr. Nancy, and sociable Dexter likes to flirt with Dr. Nancy and lay across her paperwork!

Sherry C.

Thank you, Dr. Rory Wiens and the staff of Sturgeon Animal Hospital for ensuring that my most beloved pet, Stella, was well taken care of until the last moments of her life. It was a devastating and utterly heartbreaking moment for me and my husband but they helped us get through the tragedy with their small acts of kindness and compassion. They went above and beyond even if Stella was not their regular patient. Our own regular vet clinic turned Stella away, blundered in not processing the tests previously conducted, and refused to reimburse us as promised by the staff. The card and Stella's paw prints that Sturgeon Animal Hospital sent were very thoughtful and sincere and somehow helped to ease our pain. We really appreciate everything they had done for us. I just wished we came here much sooner instead of going to the other vet clinic whom Stella had a preventative care plan (which they utterly failed to warn us of any signs and symptoms of a serious health problem). It was too late and our baby could no longer be saved... Perhaps my dog would still be alive. We highly recommend this vet clinic. They love animals and they care for them deeply. They are in this business for the right reasons and profit maximization is not their primary motivation. Any pets would be very lucky to have Dr. Rory Wiens as their vet. Comaniuk Family

Cassandra Bauer

Yeah I wouldn't take any animal I love here.

Fiona Jakielaszek

Have had all my pets go here, staff are knowlegable and kind. Rory is a fantastic vet, and Frannie liked Jessica????

Stacy and Peter White

When your dog's are so excited that you pulled into the parking lot, you know your vet is amazing! I can't find anything bad to say about Dr Rory Weins and the crew. They treat us and the fur kids so amazingly well. Rory is honest, ethical snd will never push anything on a patient/2 legged that is unnecessary. I tell everyone about Sturgeon animal hospital.

Wito Jakielaszek

Exceptional service, took care of our doggo problems.

Craig Callihoo

Very friendly and professional staff

George Patsicakis

Very happy with the evaluation and treatment

Dylan Corcoran

Dr. Watts is a very knowledgeable, and treats all my pets (cats and dogs) with incredible kindness. Would highly recommend Dr. Watts to anyone in the St. Albert / Edmonton Area.

Bryan Mroz

We use Dr.Wiens since our dog was puppy. Always able to get a quick appointment and deal with any concern with knowledgeable advice.

Teagan Shipka

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Rory and the staff at Sturgeon Animal Hospital. My dog, Banks, required "emergency" eye surgery as he had a very bad cornea ulcer. Rory and his staff accommodated us and changed their schedule so Banks could be seen immediately for surgery. During our follow-up appointment, Rory determined that Banks needed to have a second procedure - which again he was taken in immediately, after hours to tend to his eye. After his two surgeries, I called and popped by numerous times as I had a million questions and concerns for the vet techs - they were always happy and more than willing to provide support. I will absolutely be coming to Sturgeon Animal Hospital for all my vet care needs, moving forward. :)

Vitaly Shapovalov

Good and knowledgeable veterinarian, friendly staff

Elize Erasmus

We got excellent service here and Dr. Rory Wiens was awesome! I brought my dog here from South Edmonton for an eye exam only, but I'm seriously considering taking both my dogs there for normal checkups too as I was so impressed with him.

James Jackson

One day last week I found my dog Oliver a chihuahua dachshund cross, licking, what looked to be a cyst and bleeding. I called this clinic in the morning and had an appointment booked for that afternoon no problem. It was a curbside appointment which I felt a little uneasy about at first but it went very smoothly. I called the office upon arrival gave the vet tech all of our information and she came out almost immediately to take Oliver in for his appointment. I then waited in my car for the Dr.'s phone call to give me the prognosis. He explained that it was a cyst that needed draining and was infected. He said that he drained it and offered to drain two other cysts as well with only local freezing. The Dr. then brought Oliver out in about 20 mins and explained the whole procedure and how to care for Oliver's wounds and said that I could bring Oliver back in a couple weeks to have the stiches removed for free. A few minutes later the vet tech came out with medications and the remote credit car device, explained everything that I needed to do for the next 14 days and asked me again if I had any questions. This was probably the most probably the most relaxing non stressful vet visit that I have ever experienced. Oliver did not seemed upset in any way. I would definitely recommend this clinic to any one and will continue bringing my dog to this clinic without a doubt.

Dave SonOfThor

Kind and conscientious all along the way, I would recommend them to anyone.

Darlene Rodriguez

Since moving here from Ont. 4 years ago, I was concerned with finding veterinary care for my 2 senior dogs. Dr. Rory, Dr. Nancy and the team at Sturgeon have been amazing. Sensitive, kind, and compassionate. And I know my dog(s) receive the best care

Lisa P.

Had an excellent experience today at Sturgeon Animal Hospital. We were referred to Dr Weins by our regular vet in Stony Plain to further investigate our pup’s eye. Surprisingly, we got an appointment within a day or two. We drove almost 40 minutes for our appointment; he came highly recommended by our vet. SAH Reception staff were not only helpful but very friendly and attentive. Dr Weins was super patient with our anxious pup and made the eye exam as smooth as possible. The exam room was very clean and Dr Weins had all the tools necessary to complete a very thorough eye exam and a skin sample/scrape. The appointment included a battery of tests which in the end, required three prescriptions. I was expecting a huge bill but was pleasantly surprised. I would recommend Sturgeon Animal Hospital to anyone.

Alexander Jedrasik

Deanna Correia

I have been taking my dogs to Dr. Weins for over 7 years. He is very thorough and treats my dogs with so much kindness. I was originally referred to him when my pup had eye problems. He is so knowledgebale in pet optometry. The staff is always amazing and friendly. The office is very clean in the lobby, exam rooms and even in the surgical room in the back. I have referred many of my friends to this office and will continue to????

Aleksandar Milic

Amazing service. Fairly priced

Orlene Phelan

Outstanding Customer Service and Pet Care! We have used several other Vets Clinics in the past but the excellent service, care and pricing we receive from Sturgeon Animal Hospital cannot be beat!

Tanis Pangburn

Very compassionate and thorough! I can tell the staff is genuinely happy to help my dog. We went to Dr. Rory after my dog's leg surgery for follow up. They were efficient yet thorough. He is an excellent veterinarian is very attentive to me and my dog. He answered any questions I had and made sure I had no anxiety when I left. 10/10 would recommend

Sheila Robinson

They took very good care of my puppy who got neutered and chipped. Everyone was helpful and kind

Madison Marano

Dr. Wiens is incompetent and caused the death of our beloved dog. Doesn't even deserve 1 star.

Nicole Broadhurst

The staff was so kind and very knowledgeable. Dr Joel was so helpful and kind. Both him and the staff took the time to thoroughly check my kitten and give me lots of good information. He handled my kitten so well. Would highly recommend. Had a very good experience all around.

D. L.

Dr. Weins demonstrates knowledge and confidence of animal medicine and is recommended for eye issues. 2nd dog treated for eye ulcer by Dr. Weins. One success, hoping for a second. Facility very well kept, staff very professional and pleasant. Definitely recommended.

Nancy Bruyere

Robbie loved his visit!! Beautiful new clinic.!! Congrats to Rory and all the great people working there!!

Mike Drahanchuk

Fast friendly service. Took in my dog on short notice. Thank you to all the staff who helped my dog Herbie when he needed it.

Josee Miller

5 stars isn't enough for this animal hospital. I am a new cat mom, just adopted back around Christmas and all the staff here have been absolutely fabulous. I've gotten Dexter all of his shots and got him neutered at the beginning of March, you all went above and beyond to make me feel at ease with all the processes. Thank you katy, destiney and both of the incredible doctors that have taken such good care of my boy. (I am sure I'm missing a couple people) You are all fabulous.

Tim Lukaniuk

Love the team at the sturgeon animal hospital. Fair prices and they've taken great care our my dogs.
