Super unhelpful whenever I’ve come into this location. Even to the extent of being too lazy to open the restroom which they were standing 10 ft away from. Customer service from Banfield is wildly lazy.

Banfield put my cat under anesthesia, then the vet called to tell me she did not have time to perform the procedure due to her busy schedule. This was despite having confirmed the plan with the front desk during scheduling, confirmed during drop-off, and reassured it would be done by the vet tech pre surgery.
After becoming (justifiably) upset the vet said she could do part of the procedure, but we would need to come back on a day when they had more time and pay again.
The manager then had the audacity to call me at 7 pm on a Saturday to harass me for payment for putting my cat under anesthesia even though they did not complete what was promised. I caught him in multiple lies-- he then threatened to send the bill to collections and refused to acknowledge it apologize for how misleading his staff was and that it was his branches poor scheduling that lead to my cat unnecessarily being put under anesthesia.
Do not use Banfield if you love your pet. Especially not the one on 9300 S Ih 35, Austin, TX 78748.

I have tried for 2 days now to make appointments. I have called three times and ignored once, and put on hold or over 5minutes the other two times I called. They are just too busy and overwhelmed. They need more doctors or assistants up front. I called another vet and got both my girls scheduled on Monday. Sorry Banfield - lost my business. Just too busy.

Great staff, and wonderful experience getting our puppy her first checkup. Also, the prices were about midrange for meds.
