Camp Bowie Animal Clinic

Walking into this clinic feels like watching a show about hoarders. I have never seen a receptionist area so full of stacks of disorganized papers and files. I would never trust this clinic to keep my pets' records or my payment records. The mess was throughout the clinic from what I could see. I did not keep my appt after viewing the unacceptably dirty reception area. However, I could see down the hallway full of boxes into one exam room with more stacks of papers and loose cotton balls all over the table. Also, I am not allergic to animal dander, but walking into this clinic made me feel as if I were going to have an allergy attack. The strong animal smell and an immense amount of dust throughout made my nose feel very stuffy. I wanted to get back out to the clean, fresh air as soon as possible. This place needs a deep clean, professional organizers with a dump truck, and an air purifier pronto. I absolutely cringe at the thought of touching anything inside this building and won...

I grew up with our family dogs being cared for by Dr. Tierce. I have always known him to be tremendously compassionate and caring not only for the animals but their owners. Me and my entire family, who are all dog owners highly recommend Dr. Tierce.

Dr. Tierce is extremely thorough and takes the time to explain everything in great detail. A usual office visit for annual check up would take no more than 20 mins. elsewhere; But with Dr. Tierce, he checks every aspect of the patient's health from head to rear end. This means you should allow extra time when you see him, but its well worth it - not to mention, his fees are far lower than what you would expect to pay for the services you receive. Also, he is a remarkable surgeon and diagnostician due to his 40+ years of experience and continuous education at seminars that he attends throughout the year. He is so committed to his practice and the healing of animals, that he works 20+ hours a day - 7 days a week. His clinic is not an emergency hospital and yet he will always try to help sick or injured animals even after hours.

Very rude staff and very very rude dr. tierce. No compassion and will take days to find out what's wrong with your pet.

IF YOU GET DR. ROARK HE IS GREAT. Beware of the staff though... I give the other staff ZERO stars.

Do not got to see Dr. Tierce! He is the meanest, rudest vet I have every been to in my life. His wife is named Linda and she works at the front desk. She is also extremely rude and doesn't have an ounce of compassion in her body. We took my mother's dog in to see Dr. tierce for an emergency visit a few years ago. The dog was very sick and ended up dying because Dr. tierce misdiagnosed what was wrong with him. While Dr. Tierce was examing the dog, our dog bit him. Dr. Tierce proceeded to yell at us telling us we didn't tell him that the dog was a biter. The dog had never, ever bit anyone until this time. Go figure, the dog was dying and was being examined by an uncaring vet. We switched to Dr. Rourke who is part of the practice and spends half of his day practicing at another clinic owned by Dr. Tierce. This clinic is called Western Hills. Dr. Rourke and the staff at Western Hills are amazing and we've been very pleased. Today may cat got very ill and was having trouble ur... Read more

We recently had to put our 12 year old dog down and then we chose to have him cremated. Our family was told we would have his remains back by the following Monday. ELEVEN DAYS later, I pick up the phone and called the office. To my shock, his ashes were there and no one bothered to call us after even providing two phone numbers. Then I was asked if I wanted to come get him...let me think...NO...HELLO... I just paid $155 to just have him sit there in your office. My heart sunk as I felt betrayed by their service. They didn't even give us an apology. We have been faithful customers for five years now but after this situation we will not be returning to this vet with our other animals.

Dr. Tierce has treated several of my animals. I have 6 dogs and am a breeder. I completely trust him! I wish every vet had to train under him! He is compassionate to the animals and to the owners! When other vets have been stumped, Dr. Tierce can figure out what is going on!! He works when the animals need him, not just 9 to 5 and then sends you to an emergency vet where God only knows what you will end up with! He is there for you. He gives you his home telephone number. How many doctors do that now?? NONE. He does it because he cares. His grandfather and his father were both vets...so he knows old school veterinarian. He is not going to run your animal and your pocket book through the ringer. His prices are more than reasonable. I think they are too low...but don't tell them that I said that! :) I would recommend everyone take their animals to him. He is awesome!

Dr Tierce and his Camp Bowie Animal Hospital are tresures to the Ft Worth area. We have been going to Dr. Tierce since 1993 and he was highly recommended at that time. We have continued to go to Dr. Tierce for every dog we have owned. Dr. Tierce is among the best animal surgeons in the area and is very reasonable for the services he provides. In fact, our dogs have always been well taken care of and special consideration was given to our dog's sensitivity to different medications. On routine checkups Dr Tierce spends considerable time to discuss in depth the pets health issues. I wish my medical doctor was as thourough and caring as Dr. Tierce.

I would not recommend anyone take their animal to Dr. Tierce. He is knowledgeable, but his pocketbook and ego are his first concerns. He kept my dog for over a month running expensive and useless tests, before finally sending me to a university medical school for an accurate diagnosis. During that month, he ran up a tremendous bill while my dog suffered terribly. He was verbally abusive to me on more than one occasion and allowed my dog's condition to progress to a point where it was beyond treatment. My dog died, but I was informed could have been saved had we gotten to a skilled facility sooner. I will never forgive myself for allowing him to first manipulate and then "bully" me into letting him "mis" treat my dog. Dr. Tierce is controlling, very cunning and talented at playing the emotions of distressed animal owners for his own financial gain and ego gratification. Don't be "sucked in" by his "kind doctor" routine!

I use to work for Dr. Tierce and he is full of knowledge but should not be allowed to touch any animal. He cuts corners so to get more money by instead of putting an animal to sleep to remove pins from the animal's leg he had me try to hold her down as he attempted to unscrew the pin from the cat's leg while the animal screamed in pain. I've seen him fall asleep during surgery due to working 18+ hours a day without more than a few hours of sleep. I quit due to verbale abuse and working 17+ hours and getting cursed when calling in due to being sick.

Dr.Tierce has been our vet since 1989. There is none better.He is dedicated,driven,and genuinely cares about his patients.I have used other clinics in Ft. Worth and Dallas area-none compare to Camp Bowie Animal Clinic when it comes to the accuracy of diagnosis and quality of care/treatment.
