What reviewers say

88% Positive sentiment
based on 320 reviews

Johnston Animal Hospital is a well-regarded veterinary practice offering comprehensive medical, surgical, and wellness care for dogs, cats, and other pets. The facility features a modern, clean, and spacious environment equipped for in-house procedures, supported by specialized cat exam rooms with calming pheromones and soothing music. The veterinary team is widely recognized for exceptional medical knowledge, thoroughness, gentle handling of anxious or difficult animals, and strong personal follow-up on patient health. Services span routine wellness exams, dentistry, laser surgery, and coordinated oncology care, though advanced imaging like MRI and CT are referred out. While the practice receives overwhelming praise for its compassionate patient handling and detailed client communication, some clients note that fees can be on the higher side and that wait times can occasionally be lengthy.
