Very well. I pulled up, filled out paperwork, walked into the unit, my dog got her shots, I paid, and we were out the door. Love it! The vet and her crew are very nice and professional. it is fast and I paid less than going to the full service vet. No sitting in the waiting room concerned there may be a dog fight. Less stress for the dog.
Description of Work: Shots for my dog.

He didn't have an office. He did house calls. He was really good and I could call him with any panicky questions or anything. He was a little bit more pricey. We used him and my friends all used him. We all agreed that he was a little bit more pricey but some of us didn't have cars. We could call him anytime, like my cat was having kittens and the first one died and I was freaking out. He helped me thru it on what to do and everything. My other friend whose cat had to be put to sleep, and Ken came over. It was a big ordeal for my friend. They played soothing music before they gave him a good night shot. He was just really good. I had lots of friends that ended up using him. Whenever I called I talked to a reception type lady first and they always got back to me the same day. I shouldn't even say that about his pricing because he did so much for me that I didn't pay for it, like the counseling. But I got him a lot of business too. I just remember my friends all thinking he is a little pricey but they still used him. He came to you. You didn't have to drag your dog in or wait for an appointment.
Description of Work: My one cat had a litter of kittens and he let me to the village garage sale where he lived. He helped me get rid of them. They all went to one lady.

Description of Work: I have engaged Dr. Nekic as my regular vet, and have had him provide service for my pet several times. He is very good with the animals, very knowledgeable, and also quite flexible in terms of treatment options. It's great that he comes here to see my pet! Lowers stress levels for everyone. | |Timing is difficult with him. Since he is traveling all over the city to see his patients, it is difficult for him to predict his arrival time accurately. Expect to set aside a large time interval for him to arrive.

It was so comforting to have the opportunity for my vet to come to my house. One of my cats gets very anxious when going to the vet at their office. He was able to give the cat that gets anxious a shot. The last time I took him into the office at another vet, they were unable to give him a shot because he wouldn't calm down. Dr Nekic also told me all about his new office on Mohawk and how they foster some animals there until someone adopts them. I love that about his practice. He was very personable.
Description of Work: Yearly check-up for my cats. All yearly shots for both.

Our 6 year old ferret had been losing weight and not eating. We had him to our regular vet, but were not seeing improvement. A co-worker recommended Dr. Nekic. Dr. Nekic came to our home, administered fluids and antibiotics, and showed us how to continue to administering the fluids daily. Our ferret showed remarkable improvement and increased appetite and weight gain. Unfortunately, it seems he had too many underlying conditions that we couldn't overcome, and we had to have him put down. In spite of this, I have to say Dr. Nekic helped improve our ferret's quality of life over the last weeks, and he was incredibly caring and compassionate during the process. He spoke honestly and openly with us and our 16 year old son (who was the ferret's real caretaker) about options and prognosis, and made a difficult situation less so. I will say the nature of his practice makes Dr. Nekic "late" or a bit unpredictable as to when he will arrive, but once he does, he will take as much time as required. His fees might seem high, but in the context of being able to have your pet cared for in the comfort of their home, and given the amount of time and attention he provides, it is well worth it. On each of his visits, he probably spent an hour on average, and as much as two hours in one instance, whereas our regular vet probably gave us 10-15 minutes in his office.
Description of Work: Dr. Nekic provided various services over an approximate 5 week period for our ferret, including the administration of fluids, antibiotic treatment, blood draws and testing, and unfortunately, euthanasia services and transportation for cremation. $200 was the average cost of those visits.

We have three cats, and it's very nice to have the services of a mobile vet. Ken clearly loves animals, and goes out of his way to do what's in our pets' interests. Of course the costs might be more than for the standard vet at an office, but it all balances out. Especially for older pets, or ones that don't need the stress of a drive and a visit.
Description of Work: Regular shots, and periphgeral meds for a few minor issues.

He shows up at my house - carries in his various bags and cases - examines the animal (or in my case, all 5 of them if it's just a routine visit) - thoughtfully asks lots of questions - makes a diagnosis if needed - dispenses the shots or what-have-you - writes up the invoice - and that's it!
Description of Work: I've been using Dr. Ken Nekic for 8 years now, and he's fabulous with animals! His schedule can get wacky if he has to handle emergencies - there have been times he didn't get to my house until 10pm for a 6pm appt - but it's worth it. He's a genius with diagnosis, and he always puts the animal FIRST. Terrific vet, if you can put up with the late night visits and the fact that you can't leave him messages on his cell phone! (You have to call his office and talk to Patty)

See above.
Description of Work: Dr. Nekic promised to be at my house at 5 p.m. He told me to call him at 4:30 to give him directions. I tried every 5 minutes until 5:10 when he finally answered and told me he was in Circleville. He now said he would be at my house at 8:00. I called him and at 7:55 he told me he was still in Circleville. He lied to me twice and then tried to tell me it was my fault that I didn't tell him "it was an emergency", although I had told him that my dog needed to be euthenized as she was in pain. Furthermore, I had called him a month ago and he told me his charge to come to the house was $125, but today, he told me it was $225. Run his name on the Internet.....others have found this same story from him.

He works with your individual needs. He charges less than most other vets, and I will continue to use him.
Description of Work: He has an office, but he will do emergency calls to your home. I have two cockers and a bigger dog and he has taken care of them over the years. He is wonderful! He has come to check on my dogs as late as 11 at night. He is holistic in his approach, using traditional and homeopathic medicine. I have an older dog that would not be alive without his services. He comes out once or twice a month. He recently gave my dogs a number of shots, and updated all my dogs pills.

He is a very special vet, things go well regardless of what the job is.
Description of Work: Dr. Nekic has been caring for my three dogs for the last three years. My being disabled, he comes to my home some nights as late as 10pm. He is the most creative, knowledgeable, caring medical professional I have ever known. I have been tempted to say "Who was that masked man?" When he brings my elderly cocker from the very edge to being his funny self again. I wish he took care of people. He has come to the house to respond to serious blood disease, arthritis, precipitous blindness, and regular shots. He has an unusual knowledge of natural health for animals as well as human health.

MY DOG WAS TERMINALLY ILL AND IT BECAME NECESSARY TO HAVE HER EUTHANIZED. I CALLED DR. NEKIC AND HE CAME TO MY HOME ON SHORT NOTICE AND LATE IN THE EVENING. I WAS ABLE TO BE WITH MY DOG IN MY OWN HOME DURING THE LAST MINUTES OF HER LIFE. DR. NEKIC MADE SURE SHE WAS COMFORTABLE AND PAIN FREE. HE COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE UNDERSTANDING, PATIENT, AND COMPASSIONATE. HE TREATED HER WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT AND DIGNITY. AT MY REQUEST, HE TRANSPORTED THE BODY TO THE FUNERAL HOME WHERE SHE WAS CREMATED.
Description of Work: EMERGENCY CALL TO DR. NEKIC TO PERFORM EUTHANASIA. FOR AN ADDITIONAL FEE, SERVICES INCLUDED THE COST OF TRANSPORTING THE BODY TO THE FUNERAL HOME.
