Dr. Durkee and staff at West Palm Animal Clinic has been taking care of our pets for 20 years. We cannot say enough positive things about them. In good times and bad times they are the best. The care my pets received were always with live and affection. Dr. Durkee is not an alarmist nor is she money hungry. Her expertise, knowledge and compassion is over the top. In the 20 years we have been using them the original people have remained with the practice...Dr. Durkee, Christina and Karen and a few other techs.They have become part of my family even though my furry friends went over the Rainbow Bridge. I know when Im ready I can count on tem to help me find another dog.
We can’t thank the staff enough for the fantastic care and service we received for over the last 16.5 years. Sadly, we recently had to say good bye to our beloved Lexie.. Dr Durkee and staff were there for all of us, super understanding and compassionate through out the entire process. We tied up an exam room for at least 3 hours to say our good bye and never once was rushed by the staff. We will be forever greatful.
No matter what the problem or even if just a routine visit; Dr. Michelle Durkee & her staff, work tirelessly, compassionately & lovingly with your fur baby & their family, to give you the very best & least painless veterinary experience possible! And I do mean painless to your wallet as well! The office is clean, free of odors, separate entrances for felines & canines so as to keep them calm & comfortable. Professional, courteous, kind & always willing to go the extra mile for furry child & family. My precious little kitty Penny & I never felt safer, happier nor more cared for…Ever.
We have (through the years) taken at least 4 dogs and 3 cats to Dr. Durkee. She is an amazing and compassionate Dr. She is so caring! We have such respect for her well trained, as well. I cannot imagine EVER SWITCHING to another Veterinarian.
I moved to Florida 5 years ago and have been looking for a good veterinarian ever since - I was a Vet Tech for six years and know a little about the business, Dr. Durkee is very good and I am very glad that me and my dogs found her!
Dr. Durkee is a wonderful vet who provides excellent care and is compassionate and kind. Her staff is well trained and knowledgeable and are able to fit you into the busy schedule when an unexpected problem occurs. She was so accommodating recently when my 19 year old kitty took a turn for the worse and met us at her clinic . She was very comforting to us and I am so grateful that she has been able to care for my cat. I highly recommend her and it’s been a real privilege to have her as our vet.
I have been so blessed to have Dr Durkee caring for my various cats for over 20 years. She is so caring and kind, and excellent in every way. Our 3 cats all were adopted through her office. The staff is also professional and helpful. 5 star 🌟
Did a curbside version where I wait in the car they get my cat and give him back when done. Was quick and didnt take long at all. With my own cage/carry bag.
I have had many animals come through Dr. Durkees door over the years. I am a professional pet sitter and have referred clients as well. Everyone in the office is extremely compassionate and knowledgeable. Dr. Durkee goes out of her way to answer questions and is honest about whatever your baby is up against. Simply put they offer the very best care. Highly recommend.
Doctor Durkee took care of our French bulldog, Chanel, for 5 1/3 years. We were regulars at her office, always doing bloodwork and regular testing and examinations, while also bringing Chanel in on multiple occasions over the years for bouts of vomiting and diarrhea. The only response to these recurrences of sickness in our beloved dog was the administration of an anti-nausea pill and a stool hardening capsule. She treated the symptoms, not the disease, time and again. She never even considered the existence of a greater culprit behind these recurring bouts of illness. We recently had to put our beautiful little peanut to sleep. She was only five years old. Right before the end, doctor Durkee gave up on our little love and told us to take her to Veterinary Specialty Hospital. They did a blood test and an ultrasound and were able to determine that Chanel had severe liver cancer; a condition that takes years to advance to the extent that our beautiful little dog had developed. A condition that should have been noticed and diagnosed by any diligent, responsible, caring veterinarian. Sadly, due to her negligence, our precious little peanut is no longer with us. She called us when she received the results from VHS, only to say there was nothing that any body did wrong, these things just happen. This didn’t just happen, it happened over time. Had we caught it early, we could have treated our baby and she would still be with us. I advise you not to take your pets here. To do so would be a terrible mistake.
Dr. Durkee is a wonderful caring veterinarian and her staff is great. All take the time to explain things about your animal.
Its been a few months now since my beloved Snickers has joined the many other angels scampering around in heaven and given the fact that I am over my grief I am able to write this simple, yet thoughtful review ... one that is not disparaging or angry.Dr. Durkee and the entire staff at West Palm Animal clinic need to do better. They collectively dropped the ball, they know it and Im embarrassed for them .. all. Do better Dr Durkee. Please.
This is truly the best veterinarian I have ever been to. I have never had difficulty making an appointment, never had to wait long once Ive arrived and always had the most courteous caring, detailed, explanatory service. This office is reasonable and does not take advantage, or up-charge for frivolous or unnecessary medical costs. I started by bringing my chihuahua, and since then have added two cats and even in an emergency Dr. Durkee was able to see our pet rat. If I could give this office more stars I would. Highly, highly recommended.
Dr. Durkee and her staff are amazing. Their love of our 4 legged family members is reflected in everything they say and do. I love to go thereWe are so fortunate to have such a wonderfulPresence in our communityAdriana
NOTE: This is an edit/update to my prior review:I have used West Palm Animal Clinic for a number of years for a total of eight cats (I now have five). I always recommend Dr. Durkee to anyone I meet who needs a new vet. I am involved in the rescue community as a volunteer, and I always happily recommend West Palm Animal Clinic by sharing how compassionate the entire staff is. I have had to have two elderly cats put to sleep through Dr. Durkees office. They couldnt be any more caring than they are. Both times, they could see how destroyed I was with my loss and they did everything they could to soften the blow. They patiently let me stay with my kitties long after they were gone and they followed up with condolence cards and provided me with foot imprints to remember them by. When I had to go out of town for two weeks due to my brothers funeral, I boarded the two cats I had at the time. They were well taken care of and were treated to a large screen monitor running videos of relaxing music and fish and birds, etc. It helped me during a difficult time to know they were well care for. I continue to use and recommend Dr. Durkee. They continued serving patients throughout the Covid-19 epidemic by adhering to CDC best practices of curbside drop off and pick up, although I believe that depending on the circumstances, one-on-one in person appointments were available. Dr. Durkee is the best vet around. Her reviews tell the story. I dont know any other vet who could get this percentage of five star reviews. You and your pets will love Dr. Durkee and her staff!
Dr. Durkee and the wonderful staff at West Palm Animal Clinic have provided the most efficient, compassionate care to my rescue companion Sadie. Sadie gets very anxious during her well kitty exams but the staff is very professional at making her feel at ease as well as keeping me informed of her progress and status. I cannot say enough about this staff. They respect the relationship we have with our fur companions and provide the best care possible. I am so thankful to have them as part of my family wellness program.
I was originally referred to Dr.Durkee through friends who sang Dr. Durkees praises and I quickly realized why! The staff is so kind and helpful and they always put your animals care first. I never felt like I was being sold into products/services. My dog, Zuzu, had many emergencies and the staff was always accommodating during these times. The follow-up and aftercare speaks for itself as to how much they truly care about the animals. Thanks so much Dr. Durkee & staff! Well miss you!
Apart from the Covid-19 precautions, everything was great and affordable. Ill be bringing both my older dogs here from now on.
They take great care of my 20 year old beagle. Everyone is super friendly and helpful!
We are so very great full that we found a new Vet for our little Lacey. Amanda our neighbor works there as a tech so I felt very comfortable going there. The doctor’s are both wonderful and take time with you even though it is curb side only now due to Covid. Everyone is kind and caring from the person answering the phone to the tech that explain your dog’s care.Thank you all for a good experience at a hard time with a sick little Yorkie❤️
Caring and considerate!! Great place for your pet health.
Very satisfied with this doc .And her helpers.My dog he doing much better.Thanks to the west palm animal clinic. 🤗
Dr Durkee and her staff have taken care of my dogs for years, I wouldnt go anywhere else. Recently had urgent need, they got our boy right in, treated the problem & even called next day to check on him. Curbside service is so well handled & techs are great. Such a caring office.
The Vet and entire staff are compassionate towards our pets. They are given love and care. I highly recommend this team of pet caregivers.
I adore my dog and appreciate all the kindness and wisdom of Dr. Durkee and her staff. Her clinic is not a big, stylish affair but a place for healing animals and making worried parents more confident. This is because of her astute diagnoses and insight. Her practice is more like a family and I like everyone there very much. I vote for WPB Animal Clinic!
This is an amazing place to take your animals. Feel pretty good we feel that Dr.Durkee is the best vet in town. She has an amazing staff and it is an amazing experience to go there. I recommend West Palm Beach Animal Clinic very highly.
We Have going to Dr. Durkee for many years. My son lives in Tampa and he sometimes brings his dogs to Dr. Durkee. because he has so must trust for her and her staff. Last year and a half was bad. I lost my two precious shelties and my son lost his two also and my brother lost his precious Frankie ( they at Dr. Durkee called him a mircle dog) with Dr. Durkee and her staff he lived another five extra years. Dr. Durkee came in many times on her time off and vocations just to keep the dogs comfortable. She was their for three of them passing. My son as I said lived in Tampa he would keep in touch with her for their final days. You could never find a vet so caring and understanding of all of these dogs.. I never thought I would get over such a loss. She checked on us she sent cards after all of their passing. She felt as bad as we did. She is an extrodinary person.
Everyone at West Palm Animal Clinic are all so kind and caring. I can’t imagine taking my cat anywhere else. They even have a cool app so you can have all your pets info, make appointments, view reward points, etc. They were also so great when my dog passed away last year.
All my animals come to see Doc and have been for 15+ years. Nobody cares for them more, has more compassion, love and consideration than the amazing people here. Through tough times losing our old ones, to crazy times with new kittens....from our sweet ones to our little terrors...they all are cared for deeply and treated like family members (even the nutty ones).
My husband and I have been taking our dogs to West Palm Animal Clinic for over 12 years. Dr. Durkee and her staff are caring and very professional. I also like this clinic because it is so high tech.
They all treat my dog like family. Amazing practice
I have gone to this caring vet for several years. The office has separate waiting rooms for cats and dogs which is great. The vet is very nice and knowledgeable and seems to love animals. I have had my dogs teeth cleaned there twice, and have gone for regular checkups. So far so good!
Always a wonderful experience. We recently brought our new pup, she was retrieved from the car. We were not allowed into the building but we knew she was in good hands. We spoke about all our concerns from inside the car, and made our payment over the phone. It all went very smoothly and we were very happy with our visit.
Courteous and knowledgeable staff. Ive brought my pets here for almost 15 years.
All the staff and Dr at the West Palm Beach Animal Clinic are above the best. They helped us transition with two of our fur childrens passing. They were extremely compassionate and caring They answered all of our questions and addressed our concerns. I would recommend this Animal Hospital to anyone at anytime for normal domestic animal care. There is a front entrance for cats and a front entrance for dogs. The building grounds and inside are always spotless and very well maintained. The side that baths cats and dogs is simply wonderful. Please consider them for all your pet care need . Thanks
I have used West Palm Animal Clinic now for 21 years and will use them as long as I have dogs. They are the best in caring for the animals, helping the owners with any problrm or question. Never use unnecessary tests just to make money. Very reasonable prices. Friendly and helpful staff. Just love the place
Quite simply, Dr. Durkee and her dedicated and professional staff are the best. Their team work, love of animals and rock solid commitment to providing the highest level of care makes West Palm Animal Clinic the best choice for you and your pets quality of life!!!!
Dr. Durkee fit us in immediately and even took the time to call me late one night. She was thorough, helpful, professional and kind...everything you would want in someone who takes care of your loved fur ball. Shes still all about fixing your dog- you are not a dollar sign when you walk into her office. I would recommend her and her compassionate staff with 50 stars! Woof!
A great place. Always very attentive. I would not go anywhere else.
I get an appointment as soon as I need it, and the tech meets me in the parking lot for Covid safety reasons, takes my dog, and returns her to me with a complete report. I really love this clinic!
The staff was awesome . Very friendly .. I just moved here to Florida. And been looking for a reputable veterinarian for my service dog.. well WEST PALM ANIMAL CLINIC is now my service dogs place to go. I know she will be very well taken care of. The DR. IS AWESOME.
Bet vet ever! I highly recommend West Palm Animal Clinic for all your pets needs. Theyve been keeping my cat healthy for 14 years.
Dr Durkee and her staff are very professional, compassionate and assertive,, I trust the care of all my fury children to Dr Durkees expertise and knowledge 5/5
The best most caring vets and staff. Down to earth, not out just to make money. They sincerely care about your pet and your pocket book! I would never go elsewhere. :)
Thank you for being there for our pets! Seamless visit with the team, I feel confident with my new little puppy that he is going to have a life time of quality care here!
Quite simply, Dr. Durkee and her dedicated and professional staff are the best. Their team work, love of animals and rock solid commitment to providing the highest level of care makes West Palm Animal Clinic the best choice for you and your pets quality of life!!!!
Dr Durkee is amazing! She has always given my pets the best attention and treats them as if they are her own. She’s not afraid to give you facts and will tell you what is truly best for your pet to live a long heathy life. No sugar coating. Because of that, all 4 of my pets are doing amazing and are the healthiest they’ve ever been!
Excellent facility and my first choice when one of my Family members need medical attention. I highly recommend West Palm Animal Clinic when it comes to the complete and knowledgeable care of my loved ones.
My goodness! Loved The Veterinarian and the Staff! Very patient and caring!!!
Dr. Durkee and her staff are very caring, thoughtful, and conscientious. I brought my cat for his yearly check and took advantage of their curbside care. I know he is well taken care of and loved while in their care.
These people are absolutely the best. Dr. Durkee and her awesome assistant Christine are amazing. They truly care for your pet and take the time to explain everything to you. They have no problem answering any questions that you might have. We love this place and we are so comfortable having them care for our dogs. Thank you West Palm Animal Clinic.
Theyre great people to deal with they take good care of my dogsThey care about your animals and thats what makes the difference
Love Dr. Durkee and her staff. Wouldnt go anywhere else.
Very friendly staff and always treat my dog well.
Warm and caring doctors and staff! Their attention and patience helped make one of the hardest moments of our lives a bit easier, specially for our sweet dog. Thank you
Friendly doctors who care. Good communication. Super convenient with drop off and pick up around my work schedule. Doctor is very knowledgeable. Follow up emails as my cat recovered were also great!
Been coming here for 20 years great staff and service
Everyone is friendly and very knowledgeable they make going to the vet a comfortable experience.
Dr. Durkee and her staff are amazing! They take care of all our pets and we have recommended them to many friends and family members as well!
During the recent hurricane Dorian scare, my little one boarded at West Palm Animal Clinic. I cant explain the peace of mind I had knowing my dog was safe, even if I didnt know if I was. He loves it there is well taken care of and loved by the staff. I cant thank them enough.
They always take care of my boy. The tech was especially helpful trimming the hair around his eyes, backside, and clipping his nails. the entire staff really cares about the animals they treat, as well as some animals who need new homes. .
Its no wonder this facility has such good ratings. The staff is friendly and very helpful. My dog felt very comfortable with everyone. And I cant say enough wonderful things about Dr. Durkee. She is so thorough. So informative. So very compassionate. So patient. So phenomenal!!!
Very knowledgeable and professional but will super friendly. Made me feel like I wasn’t a brand new patient with my dog after a big move
We were very impressed. The staff went above and beyond in assisting us in getting all the proper documents for our international flight that morning. Thanks to them our fur baby had a very pleasant air ride and all our docs were in order.
Great place for emergency pet issues. Professional friendly staff.
Great caring exceptional vet and wonderful office staff.
Anytime I called, the always accommodate my babies. Also the take care my babies extra well. I recommend this veterinarian 100%. Thank you for love my babies.
The staff was caring and attentive to my dogs needs. The doctor and her technicians were able to answer any of my questions regarding some of their products and other products I have researched. It was an in and out process. The place is clean with separate waiting areas for antsy dogs and I find the seperate entrances for dog and cat quite clever. :)
My wife & I were a little hesitant to switch vet Drs. However, my little boy (dog), has consistence licking & scratching.I thought we would get a second opinion. But before I make changes, I did my research and online reviews. I am very picky about details. My concerns are office staff, professionalism & the Drs approach of care & listening. They hit all 5 cylinders. Including, the place is clean, friendly environment & high tech. No store front. Stand alone. Its been 1 week. All of the recommendations and instructions given so far, has ceased my little poochs itching. Thank you West Palm Animal Clinic.
The Staff at West Palm Animal Clinic is AWESOME, and Dr. Durkee is the BEST. They are professional, prompt, responsive and bend over backward to be of assistance. I cannot say enough positive things about this vet!!
Dr Durkee and staff have been treating my cats for 12 years. They are the most compassionate clinic and truly care about their furry patients. They are the BEST!!
I accidentally cut skin off my Cat and the Vet and staff stitched her back up and it didnt cost an arm and a leg. I am appreciative to the staff as my Cat is 20yrs old And a main part of my life.
I took my new puppy to Dr. Durkee and her fantastic staff for a round of shots and exam. I was immediately impressed with how calm and knowledgeable everyone was. They answered my numerous questions and did not try to up sell me on insurances or products. I feel very comfortable with my pet under their care.
Everyone is very friendly and they are the most caring animal clinic in Florida.
Loving, caring and professional staff. Will never forget how much compassion was shown during the grieving process of my Daughter’s loss of her 1st pet.(Sparks) Thank you Dr. Durkee and staff.
Dr. Durkee and her staff are extremely caring, helpful, and kind. Owners and pets are treated like family, and my pets have always been treated and cared-for like they were their own. They always make time for questions and concerns, and in an emergency they will get you in almost immediately. Love visiting the office!
We have been bringing our pups, Lucy & Linus, to Dr. Durkee and her team ever since we moved here from NJ 6 years ago. The are the BEST!In the midst of this horrid pandemic we needed to bring Linus in because of a rash he developed. They were able to fit us in the same day. When we arrived, we phoned to check-in and the staff came out (in the pouring rain) and brought Linus in to see the doc. 20 minutes, a shot and two Rxs later and Linus was brought back to the car. He was much less itchy by the end of the day and continues with the meds.Again, much praise for West Palm Animal Clinic and the caring and kind staff!
Wonderful! Dr. Durkee was very kind and knowledgeable. She was very patient with my dog Benji who is super dramatic when it comes to cutting his nails. Also, the vet tech was very nice with Benji. The waiting was a bit long (45 minutes to be exact). Other than that, I loved this animal clinic and I will be going to this one from now on.
I JUST HAVE BIN AT WEST PALM ANIMAL CLINIC AGAN.AND I HAVE TO SAY,AFTER HAVING 3 DOGS,THIS IS THE BEST DOCTOR I HAVE EVER MET.
Dr Durkee is the best knowledgeable, kind, vet around! Etc etc
The staff have always been professional and compassionate. It is always a pleasure too see the same technicians over the years. Each one is loving and caring to my dog and patient with me as I often ask many questions. Dr. Durkee and staff are amazing - highly recommend.
I have been a client for years and wouldn’t think of going anywhere elseThe level of care and CARING is unmatched. Dr Durkee is compassionate and dedicated. The staff is efficient, courteous and knowledgeableI have called them several times while out of town for advice and they have always helped meTwo thumbs up
I consider myself a picky consumer. The staff is always so prompt with any request we make. They are always here for us and dont mind explaining things in detail until we fully understand. Their pricing is a little out there but the quality is definitely there. Once, I booked a trip out of the country last minute and needed my dogs health certificate for travel. They were so happy to help me and sent me 2 documents just to be on the safe side directly to my email just like that ! What a great customer service and empathy for our little pouches that we love so much ! They are animal lovers ! Thank you all for all that you do and know that you are appreciated and Milo loves you ! And I like the picture they take of the pet and print it on a card with all the vaccine dates. They are also very good at reminding customers to refill trifexis. Very efficient and organized.
From beginning to end, experience was superb. The staff was very professional and they cared for my little princess they way we do. The Vets expertise was impressive and her bed side manner was great. She treated my dog better than some doctors have treated me. Bottom line, great facility, great staff, great Vet and reasonable fees!
Dr.Durkee and staff have always been friendly and caring.
Great place to take your pet. Very friendly environment and a vet who really cares. Dr. Durkee is such a wonderful person and she treats your pets like they are her own. It is great that they can do blood tests right in their office and give you feedback right away rather than having to send blood out and you have to wait several days.
New to the area and had canine emergency. Called in the AM, got an afternoon appointment even though they never saw Jasper previously. Pleasantly surprised at the courteous, friendly and professional way that we were treated. Katie at the front desk was so helpful and reassuring. Bethany was a great Tech. Dr. Durkee was thorough and put us at ease as she examined our senior canine. Left with medication and ease of mind knowing that we found a place to bring our fur baby.Also inquired about boarding and was given a delightful tour by another Tech. Unfortunately, did not get her name. Left there feeling good about our choice in a new place. Thank you!🐶 Ed, Lynne & Jasper
Dr. Durkee and all the staff are simply AMAZING!! They are all so compassionate and truly caring for your babies. She’s stayed with me and laid on the floor with me when I had to put our babies down. I have been going to her for 10 years now since I moved down here and would never go anywhere else! I can give her 2-3 symptoms and she’ll tell me exactly what the diagnosis is - and she’s always right :)! I trust when she tells me something she’s helping me make the right decision even if it’s not the one I want. I can’t say enough good things about everyone there! If you’re looking for a caring and compassionate vet this is the place!! And the costs are very reasonable!
We were just ‘passing through’ and needed a Bahamas Pet Permit but we were treated like valued clients! Thank you for the great service everyone.
Angel had her 6 month check up plus we picked up her food.. Dr Durkee-Vet and techs were helpful and attentive.
Ashley and the other staff have always been helpful and personable.
This vet is awesome. I have an elderly dog who had a mass removed that quickly grew back and became an issue (within 6 months from the previous surgery at another vet). I read reviews and decided to try this place since it is very close to where I live. I was able to get an appointment within a day of my request, the staff was friendly and helpful and they were able to remove the mass on my dog that very same day. The process they use is unlike normal anesthesia and when I came back to pick up my pet she was very awake and responsive and did not appear to be in any pain. We are a few days post op and she is doing great. They checked on her the next day and loaded all her appointment info/lab results to a pet portal online that I can access. The surgery was also extremely affordable given the scenario. I will definitely be coming here for my dogs in the future! An update to this existing review, my baby ended up needing to be helped across the rainbow bridge this past Thursday, about a year or so after this original review was written. This was the hardest thing I have ever been through in my life and Dr. Durkee and her staff were beyond compassionate and accommodating. I was very worried I was going to have issues being with her for the procedure due to covid, but I was able to be with my girl the entire time. Not only were they so nice and caring but they sent me home with a little clay paw print of my girl and sent a sympathy card within days of her passing that has a little something inside to plant in honor of your pet. They could not have handled the situation any better and made me feel as comforted as I possibly could on the worst day.
I called for Skye needing her nails cut. I was given a prompt appt. I arrived a little early, and was taken right away. They are so good, gentle, and know their jobs!
They are the best!!!! Took for his annual shots to renew Maxs license and they gave me his new license right there. They are also great at record keeping of your animals health and are also kind and understanding.
All the staff are amazing and pleasant. They were great with my cat. Dr. Durke is wonderful and cares very much about the animals she sees. I definately found the right vet for my cats.
Dr. Durkee and her staff are incredibly kind, caring and compassionate. They treat our pets as if they were their own pets. I could not be more pleased with their services, and every staff member.
As always the staff are friendly, polite and helpful. Kelsey was terrific helping me get the 3 carriers to the exam room. These 3 of my 5 cats are large and heavy (aka FAT) but are very healthy which I attribute to Dr. Durkee. She tells it like is such as these guys need to lose weight, but it is done nicely. I have been going to this clinic for 5 years. If you really care for your fur kids take them to West Palm Animal Clinic.P.S. Kelsey helped me get my kids to the car.
