My family & I have been taking our pets to Dr. Gray for over 30 years!!!! I would go no where else and highly recommend him to everyone I know who has pets - as for compassion, you will find no vet more compassionate than Dr. Gray - he and his staff have seen me through some very stressful situations with my pets - Dr. Gray even made a donation to VA Tech veterinarian school in my pet's name when she passed - I just got off the phone with the receptionist (must be new if previous accounts are correct) and she was VERY accommodating - made me an appointment with Dr. Gray this afternoon - no problems here!!!! Hope folks who wrote previous bad comments give them another try - they are truely worth it!

Pros: Great Staff, EXCELLENT Vet, very accommodating (did I mention) EXCELLENT Vet!!!!

Cons: none

The result of my visit with Boulevard Animal Hospital was a dead puppy. Don’t get me wrong I don’t blame BAH for what happen to my little Xavier, they just didn’t help in the situation like professional animal hospitals I’ve been too in the past. My Xavier was diagnosed with Parvovirus which is deadly for puppies anyway. The reason I am so displeased with there service is because they were not informative enough. I was given Three choices of treatment which were take him home and see if he makes it, pay $250 and do an out patient treatment in which I take him home and give the meds to treat the virus, or give a $400 deposit and hospitalize him at $100 dollars a day. When I asked what would be the difference between the out patient and hospitalization I was told “there is no difference besides the fact they would give him IV directly into his vain were I would be administering the IV into his skin.” “Beside he would probably do better at home where he would be more comfortable” So I took him home, and 22 hours later he was dead. After doing some research on my own about the virus I find out what they told me was untrue. There is A VERY BIG DIFFRENCE IN WHAT IS DONE IN THE HOSPITAL FOR PARVOVIRUS VERUS OUT PATINET. They failed to tell me things which might have helped in my decision making like most pups die within 72 hours of visible symptoms. As strong as the virus was in my Xavier there actually would be a slim chance of survival at home. In the hospital they give med intravenously where I was giving him pills which take longer to get into the system, and with this virus TIME IS EVERYTHING, which they failed to inform me. When I saw him getting worse I called back to BAH and informed them because of the $250 I spent the day before all I had was $300 at the time and could something be worked out for the additional $100 to get him admitted and I was coldly told no I have to have the entire amount. That was the first and last visit to BAH.

Pros: none

Cons: No passion or compassion

I will agree with the previous reviewer Dr. Gray is a great Vet! Unfortunately to get to the Vet you have to go through the receptionist. I have been going to the Boulervard Vet for over 12 years and I am now shopping for a new Vet. I have been to visit and to ask simply question 3 times in the past month and have been treated not rudely, but definitely indifferently. My dog had a brief nosebleed today while being groomed, the groomer had a Vet on site who looked at him and everything seemed OK but I thought maybe it would be a good idea to check in with my Vet for some advice. No go, no appointment, no talking to the Vet. Not even a "I'm sorry to hear that, is he OK" type of remark. She acted like she could care less and that's not the kind of person you want to have deal with when you are worried about your pet. I don't care how great the Vet is, if they are not accessible it doesn't do you much good. This is not the fault of the Vet but again that does not help me. So I will stop short of telling you not to go to the Blvd Vet, but don't expect any extra service if you don't make an appointment for it.

My husband has been taking his pets to Dr. Gray for 15+ years when we married, I have been taking our pets to him for almost 20 years. He reseaches what he recommends, he is kind and compassionate. He gives good advice for parents/owners as well as pets. He is the best verterinarian I have ever taken my pets to. Has good contacts in his field, such as the N.C. State Veterinary Hospital. This is extremely important.

Pros: Informed, up to date, Run tests,no guessing, Compassionate
