Helping Hands Veterinary Clinic

We love Dr Guidry! She has ministered to our cats and dogs for more than 10 years. Kind, funny, empathetic. Highly recommended. Walk-ins on Saturdays.

As a full time RVer it's hard sometimes to find a good vet on the fly while traveling. Both my pups had issues, one with her ears, the other with his tummy.
We showed up bright and early at their walk-in clinic Saturday morning and the staff was wonderful and caring, super gentle and treated both pups, we got medicine and a follow up appointment, both pups were very comfortable with the techs and the vet.
And their prices are more than fair.
This is definitely a place I'm keeping in my contact list.
10 stars

Thanks Everyone that works hard too make it all work so smoothly

Poor senior dog care!

I am sad to update my prior review of 5 stars a few years ago.

So unhappy with this clinic, and yes, even Dr. Guidry. The clinic seems to have deteriorated since the onset of the pandemic.

Our dog senior dog was injured with the last blood draw there - hurt her neck badly that took a few days to recover. She has been terrified when we go there for the past few years - and probably worse now. I do not think they know how to handle very senior small dogs.

Now the clinic / Dr Guidry is refusing to renew her meds unless there's another blood draw - but stopping her medications would kill her.

How compassionate is that?

So glad I found this place! I am very disgusted with all of the other previous Vets that have been pushing dangerous annual unnecessary procedures, monthly unnecessary toxic drugs, and pushing dangerous allergy meds. A simple vitamin supplement has kept Zoe totally healthy and free of chronic ear infections, sneezing, itching for over 2 years now. She loves coming in for her check-ups!

Made a separate appointment to have one of my dogs nails trimmed after he was able to be sedated due to the first attempt at nail trims failed. I made the separate appointment a couple weeks later and gave him the proper sedation before the appointment but when they took him back to do his names not sure all what happened but I could hear my dog struggling / whimpering as they attempted to clip his nails. They then brought him back to me and said it didn't work the second time and were very condescending and rude to me about his behavior. He chocked and gasped all the way home like they had straggled him to keep him quiet. He was having issues breathing all night and seemed to even struggle to drink water. Sadly to say he is no longer with me. Not sure what they did to him but it must have caused some damage to his throat caused he couldn't stop coughing all night.
Never had issues with his nails being done before nor did we ever need sedation.
Will never return to this place and don't recommend it either.
Horrid experience.

Just got back from our first visit and won't be returning. I specifically scheduled my dog for a sedation and nail trim and when we got to the appointment were told they couldn't accommodate that today. Tech was condescending and scheduler was clearly incompetent. The vet tried to convince me to do multiple vaccines when I specifically said one at a time. My search for a good vet continues.

Helping Hands has a friendly staff, clean facility and expert advice. I never feel pressured to buy anything my pet doesn't need and they are gentle and kind with my bulldog. She actually likes going to the vet for the first time in her life! So happy I found this place!

My two new pug puppies are very happy with the excellent care they received here! Dr. Helen and all the staff we met were so warm hearted, kind and definitely knew the answers to all of my questions. We are coming back for booster shots and scheduling our spay and neuter appointments. I think we found our forever vet!

My dog's always had ongoing GI issues and frequently vomits every single early morning.

I have always felt very confident with the vet's ability to help troubleshoot his issues. We started off with meds, and have moved onto the more specific testing today since he's gone back to deteriorating. They were able to get me an appointment the day I called. It was not expected of them, but I really am grateful for everything today.

It is difficult with his pickiness and sensitivity. He refuses food to the point of throwing up, and I have to force feed him just to stop him from vomiting on an empty stomach.

Luckily, his X-ray came back clear today, and there was nothing worrisome about his digestive tract. So no blockages. This took a huge weight off my shoulders.

I am now working on fully making sure he has a well rounded, lean diet and eats well. It's all I can do for him at this point. I can't be more thankful for Helping Hands to help us along with his journey to recovery. They were fully transparent with me about everything, and I completely understand if his condition boils down to the two we suspect, it's not treatable but manageable. I completely understand as it also aligns with my research as well of what I suspected with his problems, too.

Thanks to the entire team for being so patient and forgiving with us. We'll stay with this clinic for life.
