Reviews of Park Gate Animal & Bird Hospital (Veterinarian)

Corinne Reid

Parkgate is where I take my dog, and the service is always amazing. The vet is very friendly and personable, and my dog gets the best care possible. Highly recommend!

I take my cats and dogs here and the staff have always been very friendly and know how to treat and care for my beloved fur babies. My dog was promptly helped with intravenous fluids, etc. for a gastrointestinal issue and had his undescended testicle removed with no issue. Her husband is very good at helping to lift my large dog and help to the car. I have found that long as I do the blood & urine tests and ultrasounds, etc. that are recommended by a veterinarian, many issues can be much easier resolved.

Dr. Simk and all of the staff at Park Gate are absolutely amazing. It feels more like you are entering a home than a clinic. Well, a very organized and sanitized home! One of my cats is highly reactive but responds so well to all of the staff and Dr. Simk which is a big deal since she is usually very shy when first meeting/greeting someone. She adores Dr. Simk even though a physical check-up is not much fun so that's saying a lot. I always have lots of questions and Dr. Simk always takes the time to answer them all with great thought. I never feel rushed. Ocassionally we have had to wait a bit for our appointment time but the staff is so friendly and the waiting area so pleasant that it is never really an issue. Plus I always know we are waiting because some poor animal had a health emergency. Dr. Simk also always provides me with more than one option when it comes to treatment, etc. which is much appreciated. I really can't say enough wonderful things about Park Gate.

The condition of the hospital is very decent, always clean and tidy. Dr. Simk never loses her smile and gives her best to heal every patient. Her husband shows up sometimes for assisting, and he is also nice. It is definitely a good decision to bring your pets to this place!!

Dr. Manjit and her husband take great care with my newly diagnosed diabetic older dog Valllee. They have been helping me monitor my dogs insulin needs and are very good at making this transition to old age smooth and painless. BIG THANKS

I brought my dog here a bit ago after seeing countless vets for his limp and they all said he had a hip disease, but Dr. Mandy did an x-ray and found out it was a broken knee, and performed a flawless surgery. They made him very comfortable and monitored him after surgery to make sure everything went well. The staff here is super caring and genuinely love animals, and don't try to rip you off. They are like friends to you once they see you a few times. I highly suggest coming here if you're looking for a personable, caring and dedicated vet to care for your pet. She won't suggest trying every expensive test in the book, she tries to keep the experience affordable for all, which I think is awesome compared to some other hospitals I've seen. 5 stars!!!

Because facts matter, I need to write this. I was there when Ms Underhill had her kitty in the clinic. It is so hard when one's beloved pet is at their end. I have been there with my own sweet kitty, Miya, so I know. The vet who so compassionately cared for her and gave her (and me) such comfort when her time ran out, was Dr Mandy Simk. I can vouch for her caring and unselfish nature. And I know firsthand that she would not try to make money by needlessly letting an animal suffer. It is also not fair to expect that a vet should be on call 24/7. The fact that she even answers the phone after hours shows her caring attitude. The day Ms Underhill is referring to was a very busy Friday afternoon (4 days ago) in the clinic. There were patients in each consulting room and myself and another in the waiting room. Dr Mandy had just returned from picking up her daughter at pre-school (being a working mom is tough!) and was trying very hard to give all her patients and their owners the attention they needed. She was indeed “in the back” but actually very busy! My doggy, Bella, needed blood samples drawn at set times for a test - and not being very cooperative. I was helping to hold her so that Corinne, the VOA, could deal with Ms Underhill and other owners at the front desk. It’s easy to incorrectly assume people are uncaring when they are, in fact, doing their best to cope with a lot of demands. Since Ms Underhill was there to deal with an administrative matter, I much prefer that Dr Simk gave her attention to my distressed little doggy and allowed Corinne to attend to Ms Underhill as best she could. Another vet could not have handled it differently under the same circumstances. Ms Underhill, I am very sorry for your loss, but please be fair. All the best to you.

Dr. Mandy at Park gate Animal Hospital is the best Vet we've ever had. She is absolutely lovely and doesn't up sell as we have experienced from othe Veterinarian's. Highly recommend.

Dr. Mandy Simk and her staff are a pleasure to deal with. The care they gave my cat throughout her life was first class. Very gentle, caring and compassionate with both the animals and the owners. If you are looking for a kind, caring vet, Dr. Simk will take great care of your pet.

Our dog goes once a year but strides in like he owns the place and feels right at home.

Great services and great Doctor.

Thank you so much, Dr. Mandy Simk, for the consistently high level of care for Bella, our chocolate lab. From ensuring the correct diagnosis of ailments to management of arthritis pain, Bella had the best care right to the end.

I rescued rabbits and doctor fixed boy rabbit already and next month we will fix female. Female Masha didn’t feel good , she had infection and doctor prescribed medication and now Masha is doing fantastic. Very good hospital, doctor is very caring and knowledgeable. I feel safe there ????.

Having had my beautiful kitty for 16 years, I had to make a really hard decision to let him cross the rainbow bridge, but that wasn't until he had the very best care from Dr. Simk and the staff at Park Gate Animal & Bird Hospital. The expertise and the care that they showed him was beyond beautiful. The final day was tough, but the compassion from everyone was incredible. No words can really say how much I appreciate them, but I will be getting another fur baby, and there is no where else I'll take him but to Dr. Simk. 10 Star rating.

Very welcoming and professional.

DO NOT take a bird to this clinic under any circumstance. This was my first experience with this clinic and I assumed an Animal & BIRD hospital would be a safe place to take my bird. His wings were so badly clipped its hard to describe. I had to get him to an Avian Vet the next day and they were shocked and confused at what was done to his wings. They have no business offering this service to pet owners.

Mar MacKay

I would like to thank the Park Gate Animal & Bird Hospital for the kindness and compassion they showed to both myself and my pet at a very sad time. Thank you again for caring.

I've been bringing my animals here for quite some time now. I can't say enough good things about this clinic. Highly recommend!
