Deer Creek Veterinary Clinic

101 Heritage Dr, Johnson City, TX, 78636

A husband-and-wife practice on Heritage Oaks Drive, where Paul Axtell, DVM and Kristin Axtell, DVM have served Johnson City for over 20 years. It runs both sides of the caseload: dogs and cats in the clinic, with laser surgery and in-house digital x-ray and lab work, and ambulatory equine, bovine and farm and ranch services, plus a kennel on site. Appointments can be made by phone, text or online, and snake bites and rattlesnake vaccines both get their own mention.

Before the bill

Pet insurance covers the next thing, not this one.

Anything already going on counts as pre-existing from the day a policy starts. That is why the time to look is before the visit that costs, not after it.
