What Our Customers are Saying

David R.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Helmueller and team! From start to finish, their care and professionalism were beyond anything I could have hoped for.

Their expertise, patience, and genuine compassion made a stressful situation so much easier to handle.

Thanks to Dr. Helmueller’s dedication and skill,my baby girl is now recovering beautifully. I am so grateful for her commitment to not just treating my dog but treating her like she was her own. If you’re looking for a vet who truly cares and goes above and beyond, look no further than Dr. Helmueller! She is simply the best!

Liz P.

I was referred to Dr. H by a specialist vet here in Austin. I SO was nervous, but was assured she was the best soft tissue surgeon in Austin. Dr. H and her staff treated gave my dog the VIP treatment! I was updated when he was getting prepped for surgery, once while he was under anesthesia, and as soon as he was awake. Amazing! Dr. Helmueller is the absolute best!

Jill B.

I worked with Dr. Helmueller for years at a high-volume, high-quality non-profit veterinary clinic. As the head of fundraising for the non-profit, I quickly found that there was nothing more compelling to our supporters than seeing Dr H’s talents in action doing spay and neuter surgeries. All the patients received the best possible care AND a safe, efficient surgery. I trust her more than anyone when it comes to my pet’s care – she’s spayed several of mine, and you can barely spot the incision point. Dr. H is the best!

Alice H.

She (Dr. Helmueller) spayed my little pup, Pippi on Monday. I just wanted to send a heartfelt thank you – her incision has been immaculate and she’s basically bounced RIGHT back much more quickly than I had expected. You are amazing at what you do!
