Reviews of Island Veterinary Clinic consistently highlight the warmth and attentiveness of the team. One long-time client described bringing her Yorkie in for acupuncture on her vet's recommendation, as an alternative to medications that would strain the dog's already weak liver, and found the doctors and staff patient and caring throughout. Another reviewer, a long-time cat owner who also cares for community cats, specifically praised Dr. Poon's professional expertise handling a wide range of feline symptoms and injuries, describing her as gentle, patient, and genuinely caring, often suggesting alternative treatments where appropriate. A family with four dogs described the clinic as their go-to vet for years, praising the clarity and patience of the entire team, from doctors to nurses to front counter staff.
