Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital San Antonio, Texas

One of the best vet clinics in San Antonio. They take great care of my dogs & make sure I have all the options to make the best decisions for their care.

I love this vet hospital. I brought my 2 sick cats here after banfield wasn’t treating my cats well. Everyone here is so nice, and listens to your concerns. They were also so gentle with both my cats. I felt like they were decently priced as well.

Best vet in San Antonio

Dr. Chris Maffrey took such good care of me and my old dog. His bedside demeanor is impeccable.. I was referred by a friend and couldn’t thank her enough! He listened to my concerns and treated my dog with dignity and respect. I love it here.

Dr. Maffrey and team are wonderful and test my fur babies with loving care! Highly recommend!

I can’t say enough good things about this place. I have a very vet anxious GSD, a puppy GSD, and a heeler mix. They saw us all in one visit to establish care and do check-ups. My oldest (and very nervous) GSD was treated exactly the way you’d want your old girl treated. Plus they were friendly, spectacularly kind, and I can’t say there was a single negative interaction the entire visit. To anyone that has tried several vets, has nervous pups, or just generally wants the best her, definitely go here

I had to put my emery to sleep and Dr. Zach Dielmann was very compassionate and understanding when it came time for me to say goodbye. He was honest about my emery's diagnosis, but was still willing to go the extra mile for her health. And the staff at the hospital was extremely nice and very professional. I still have my other three dogs who go there for checkups. I will always be at ease knowing the staff along with the doctor's will be considerate and helpful with their patients and family. Thank you Dr. Zach Dielmann and staff for everything.

a fantastic first experience with this vet. i called a day ago looking to make an appointment and they were able to get me in the next day which was nice. when we came here the staff was very friendly and when we brought our baby into the room they took amazing care of her and comforted her while taking her temperature. it’s a great feeling to see people with such compassion for animals especially when you love your pet like a baby. our vet was very informative and sent us off with flea medication that began working for my dog instantly. i definitely recommend this place. also very fairly priced to me coming from california. p.s they give your dogs medications in the cutest bags! thank you guys so much

Great Taco and food glad there in my neighborhood.

Incredibly skilled surgeons, fantastic staff.

I just love this place. I boarded my cats there for a couple of weeks. Lincoln Heights took good car of them.

We love Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital so much! Friendly and amazing staff and great care for our two dogs

Love them but waiting to be able to go in for appointments.

Dr. Dielmann, Dr. Maffry and all staff at this clinic provided incredible and compassionate care to our sick and elderly dog. After 5 years of being in San Antonio and feeling frustrated by a number of other vet clinics (even highly recommended ones) I decided to search once more for a new clinic when I noticed my senior dog of 13 years was starting to have some urinary track issues. Knowing he was older and that it could be serious, it was really important to me to find a clinic where I could feel comfortable saying goodbye if it came to that. Despite being a new patient with a senior dog in the middle of a pandemic, Dr. Dielmann expressed more care in our initial appt than any other clinic or vet to date. He was very thorough, and you could tell he really loved his job and got to know each pet uniquely. We also received care from Dr. Maffry who was equally as competent and compassionate. In the end, our pup became quite ill very quickly and therefore we were calling/visiting the clinic almost daily for about a week. They accommodated last minute appointments for us, allowed us to come in as a “drop off” when the appointments weren’t available to receive the necessary care (IV fluids) from the support staff and the vet would check in on him between other appointments to give us an update. Dr. Maffry made himself available via phone as well, returning messages within a few hours and always encouraging we call back with any additional questions. You could tell the clinic knew our pup and his situation, even as a new client there, and they really cared about the outcome. The collaboration between the vets was also exceptional. Ultimately, we did have to put our little guy down, and even in that difficult moment the clinic accommodated a same-day appointment for us and allowed us to be in the room to say our goodbyes which was invaluable. Having to watch your dog get sick and pass away is never an easy process, but the exceptional care from this clinic and these vets was the silver lining of a very difficult time for us, and I am beyond grateful to have found them to care for our pup in his last days. Highly highly recommend.

Tater can't wait to visit next since Sissy liked them

Meet Charlie, he is the new kid in the block stealing techs hearts and taking his first shots. With hugs and kisses he got through his first day. Thank you staff for handling this kid with care.

Great place to take your animals. I go there often for my animals.

I’ve got to brag on Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital! I did a simple Google search for veterinarians in my area and stumbled across LH. I decided to go with them based on their many positive reviews. My sweet Maisy is an 11-week-old mini schnauzer. She sees Dr. Dielmann. I was very nervous taking my baby (at the time 8 weeks) to the vet for her second round of shots and not being able to go in with her due to COVID. However, from the minute the tech came out to the car to get her, I knew she was in good hands! The vet tech was very gentle, sweet, and attentive (I wish I knew her name - but she is blonde and super sweet!) She asked me a few questions about my Maisy and listened to my concerns and let me know that the doctor would call me. You could just tell she was a kind lady. This was my first impression of this place, and it really set the tone in the most in the positive way. Maybe 15-20 minutes passed before the doctor called me. We talked for at least 40 minutes. He answered all of my “new puppy” questions, provided advice and was so patient with me. I had many concerns aside from her receiving her shots and he addressed them all. He even provided me literature on certain topics and made recommendations. He paid special attention to my concerns and helped me understand and develop a treatment plan for my sweet Maisy’s allergy issues. Overall, he was extremely thorough, knowledgeable and just so kind. You could tell he really loved his job. It was just the most refreshing experience. In the coming weeks, I had a few questions and Dr. “D” (as I call him) responded promptly with information and suggestions. Everyone here really enjoys what they do and loves animals and it shows! It makes such a difference. I will be bringing my cat to Lincoln Heights for his future needs and recommending them to everyone! Thank you Dr. D and Lincoln Heights staff for taking care of my girl so well! This is an amazing place for pet care!

GREAT service, great table side manor! Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital has been amazing to work with! From support and compassion when our senior dog was sick to getting a new puppy with all the puppy questions. Dr. Maffery and the staff go above and beyond to assist and provide outstanding customer service.

After having a bad experience with a previous vet, I was determined to do extensive research to find the right vet for my dog, Chicle, since she has a series of health issues. I was willing to drive wherever I needed to go so that she could get the best care possible. I compared several clinics and vets and decided to see Dr. Gilson (Dr. DiRosa) and give her a chance. The reviews I read about her before Chicle's first appointment are nothing compared to what she really is as a vet and as a human being. I've been seeing her for 2 yrs, and she truly embodies the values and qualities we, pet owners, wish to find in a veterinarian. I have some medical background and I like to pay attention to details. She has always been extremely thorough, takes her time during the appointment, answers multiple questions that I tend to have during the appointment and even after that. When I call with questions or send emails, she always calls me back/responds. There are times when I get her calls after business hours, and this speaks very highly of her because she goes above and beyond. It's clear that she loves her profession and spreads that love to our pets, as if they were her own. She's very compassionate and connects easily with them, particularly my Chihuahua, Chicle. I'm not surprised, since our pets speak the language of love and can easily perceive a loving, positive vibe from another human being. She has handled complex medical issues and I can say that I completely trust her...and I trust very few healthcare providers. The staff are amazing and efficient. I know my Chicle is a senior dog with multiple health issues. I'm so blessed and grateful to say that I wouldn't want anyone else to take care of her. I've been extremely lucky that I found a vet that's one in a million.

Have used this vet the best entire time we have lived in Texas. Yesterday I picked up the same prescription that I was issued for my dog 5 weeks ago to find. $40.00 increase for the same medicine. Price gouging like people selling Purell - come on!!! Not fair to our furry friends.

Still doing parking lot intake but in a timely manner.

Fantastic veterinarians and staff. Highly recommend

I added a star to my review from a couple years ago because they've got Dr. Zach Dielmann there and he has a gift for healing pets, you don't find that often. They don't teach that in med school, you have it or you don't and good for Lincoln Heights for holding onto him.

My wife and I could not recommend Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital more. The entire staff is amazing, and always make a big deal when we bring our dog Charlie in. Every Dr. we have visited with is fantastic. We have been very fortunate to have many visits with Dr. Maffry and Dr. Gilson. They are wonderful at what they do, and they honestly care about your pet. Charlie has had a lot of medical issues over the past few years, and they have made it so much easier to deal with. I could not be more impressed with the caliber of people that work here. Thank you all for everything you do for our family!

I have been here twice when my golden Lizzy and this year my yellow tabby Snapper passed. The staff was very patient and caring when I was at my lowest losing my beloved family members. They were very considerate and helpful during this sad occasion.

They provide great, compassionate care for our pets

We are so lucky to have found Dr. Zachary Dielmann!!! My husband and I live near Austin, Texas and spent a couple of weeks searching for the best procedure and surgeon for a CDL repair. It is REALLY hard to find a veterinarian who is willing to discuss options in detail, so I did a lot of research on my own. I was fascinated by the MMP procedure and started searching for surgeons in Texas who perform it. After emailing several veterinary hospitals in central Texas, I was told to contact Dr. Zachary Dielmann at Lincoln Heights Animal Hospital in San Antonio because he does MMP. We were so glad to find him because he was able to answer all of our questions. Although we decided to go with TPLO surgery instead of MMP, we are so thankful we were able to find Dr. Dielmann. He truly cares about animals and the owners. He empathizes with how owners feel when making big decisions like this and never gets impatient, which is something I have never seen in a vet before. He even took the time to do a video call with me and and my husband since he knew it was a two hour drive to his office. He did everything he could to help us make a decision. I am not kidding when I say he has responded to at least 40 emails from me! Once we decided to go with TPLO surgery, Dr. Dielmann explained how they work with an exceptional mobile in-house surgeon: Dr. Justin Harper. I trust Dr. Dielmann completely and decided to go ahead with the procedure, and I am so glad I did! I have seen tons of post-op pics for TPLO, and our dog's incision is much smaller than I expected it to be. He also used a lot of sutures, which helped the incision heal well. Our dog is doing wonderful, and it has only been two weeks. Some say it takes a dog a few weeks to put weight on the leg, but ours was putting weight on it immediately. In fact, my pup is acting like he is 100% better at two weeks post-op. One of the major factors that led us to get the procedure done hours away in San Antonio is because Dr. Dielmann ensured us that he would make sure our dog needed surgery before going through with it. He said even if they started the surgery and once getting into the leg thought that surgery wasn't necessary, he would not go through with it. Believe it or not, no other surgeon was willing to do that for us. Although he for sure needed surgery, I know Dr. Dielmann did what was truly best for our dog. Since the surgery, I still reach out to Dr. Dielmann when I have questions or concerns, and he is just as patient and kind as before. If you are looking for a truly good person who will be there for you through it all, reach out to Dr. Dielmann. You will not regret it!

Friendly staff, pretty easy to get an appointment. They love the animals and the doctor even let my 7 yr old son listen to the dogs heartbeat using his stethoscope.

Staff is very friendly and courteous.
