Atlas Animal Hospital

I'm a new resident to Vancouver. Since the wildlife and other things is much different than where I'm from I was worried that something was wrong with my dog due to rashes. The doctor was very good at quickly being able to diagnose the problem, was very gentle with my dog and all around had amazing service. He was great at explaining everything. I ended up getting all her shots up to date the same day and was very informative as to which one was used for. I was very impressed with the price, service and office. This will be my new vet as long as I'm in Vancouver I totally recommend this hospital.

I recently had to take my dog to this hospital. The service was first class as well as the after surgery care. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks.

Thank you for the most thorough and informative assessment. Your attentiveness, kindness and time spent with our Wylie was much appreciated. I was most impressed with your professionalism and knowledge of an aging dog and his needs. Thank you!

I brought my dog in to get checked out for a limp in one of her hind legs. We first saw Dr. Yazli on Friday, he did an examination and took a blood panel from our dog, in preparation for going under anesthesia to do an x-ray we opted in for. On Saturday, he called us promptly with her blood panel results - everything look great. We were told to bring her in at 9am on Sunday, and it was going to be a different doctor (dr. jagmeet), more senior and with more experience doing the x-ray itself. Sunday came around, we dropped Zoey off at 9am, and were told it was going to take 3 to 4 hours. 12pm came and went - no news, 1pm came around, still no news, so I called the clinic. The receptionist told me that they had just done the xray at that time, and the doctor would contact me shortly with the results as he was on a break. I told her that we were expecting to be completed at 1pm at the latest...she said she will get the doctor to call us right back. 5 mins after, the doctor called us back, saying that he suspected a crucial ligament tear, and that he would tell us more when we came to pick Zoey up. I asked what time we should pick her up, he said around 2pm to 2:30pm. When we went to pick her up, he went through the x-ray results with us in the back room - at that time I heard whining while he was doing so, but I wasn't sure it was our dog. Anyway, after going through that, one of the receptionists/nurses brought zoey out and she was panting heavily and breathing really hard with her tongue out. We brought her home and she was still panting very hard, breathing really hard, like she was hyperventilating. Her heart was going so fast, we thought she was going to have a heart attack. We called the clinic back and they told us to bring her back, the doctor said he would examine her again. We tried walking her back there (5 mins away) and she didn't want to leave the building. When we took her back to the apartment, she kept pacing around, still hyperventilating and whining. It took 3 hours to calm her down, 24 hours later, she is still anxious. It is unknown to us what kind of condition they kept her in for that entire length of time, while she was waiting for her xray to be done, to induce such a bad panic attack. First we thought it was the anesthesia, but our dog has been under anesthesia before and never reacted like this. She has also been to other vets before and has never reacted like this. Sorry for the long winded story, but I wanted to put this out there and save you all from going through the heartache we did, seeing our pet in so much distress.

I have been taking Biscuit here for a couple years now. Dr Yazli is super friendly and helpful, and so are the staff members. They also provide lodging at a reasonable price. Biscuit stayed there for more than three weeks once!
