★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I felt compelled to write after reading one bizarre review on here.
We have seen Dr Vicki Lim with our cat and 3 dogs (a German shepherd, Beardie/Huntaway and Weimaraner) She is the best vet we have ever come across. She treats the animals as if they are her own and we have found her pleasant to deal with. Her advice is always based on best practice but tailored to the individual animal. She explains things clearly and is very compassionate.
We had a terrible experience with another vet at a different practice that left us with an incredibly sick dog that we were then advised to euthanise. Thankfully we came across Dr Vicki Lim for a second opinion and she successfully operated and saved our much loved family dog. It was not an easy surgery but she tailored the procedure to the dogs needs rather than treating generically.
We love Auckland Pet Hospital in particular Dr Vicki
Lim!
Dr John Perry and Anna Perry

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Probably the most expensive vets in Auckland, and not necessarily the best.
We have been taking our pets here for many years (they were previously trading as Ponsonby Vets). But the fees are now excissve and out of keeping with most other vets in Auckland (e.g. carprive $11 a tablet vs $1.40 elsewhere, 10kg+ dog 3 view x-rays $930, between $300 and $600 elsewhere).
They are always very pleasant and friendly but I get the feeling they are milking their clients as most are probably insured and don't care about the fees. But charging such high fees just pushes up the price of insurance for everybody. Our pets are insured but that doesn't justify the prices they charge.
My advice, ring around. Most vets can give you a ball park figure over the phone for standard procedures (neutering, x-rays, vaccinations etc.). You'll be surprised at the wide variation. These guys are definately in the 95th percentile in terms of fees.
And while they may rebut with reasons for this and that the reality is they are expensive. We will be changing vets.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Why does a review say that about Dr.Vicki Lim? You can't judge a person's accomplishments because of one bad experience. She is my pet's doctor, and my dog is a very naughty Maltese boy. From ear mites as a toddler, then going swimming in the ocean in the summer with skin allergies from saltwater, then going to the park and jumping in mud puddles with bacterial infections in his eyes, like to stealing through garbage cans in the middle of the night and eating chicken bones and having to have x-rays, and most recently coughing and fever from seasonal flu. Dr.Vicki Lim treated all these. The fastest my dog got better on the same day, the slowest was just a week to heal. My special request at every appointment is to make an appointment with Dr.Vicki Lim. One time the appointment was full, and I had to go to another hospital, but by the fifth day, my dog showed no signs of improvement, and I ended up going back to this hospital for treatment. I am very grateful to Auckland pet hospital. Everyone
is so kindful and lovely. I trust her entirely to Dr.Vicki Lim, and she gives me peace of mind. Thanks a lot for Dr.Vicki Lim, she is very outstanding and professional.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Do not visit the vet Dr Vicki Lim. She is the most arrogant and condescending vet I have had the experience of meeting in my many years of having furry friends. She refused to listen, and seemed to get pleasure out of making me feel less than. It was most unpleasant meeting her and my pet has suffered because of her. Do go here, as the other vets are fantastic, just request to not have her. What an awful experience under her care.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dr Demi is the reason we came to this clinic with our three dogs. She is an absolute professional and I would highly recommend her and her caring nature towards animals. She treats our pets like her own and gives great advice. Dr Alex and Dr Eva did surgeries on one of my dogs’ ear to a great result. In my brief time as a client we have only encountered one bad experience with a vet who was quite condescending - named Vicki. It was evident no matter what I said she wouldn’t take my concern seriously… the next day he was seen for the same issue (as it had gotten worse) by a different vet and booked in for an immediate surgery as she was clearly mistaken.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The best vets I've ever had. Compassionate and thorough, I have had several pets with the team here, and we've been treated with kindness and dignity through every stage of their lives. Can't say enough good things about everyone here.
