They are so great with my dogs. One of my dog's has a severe fear of the vet so he shakes and everything and she is great at calming him down

I wonder why Dr. Biermyer thought an apple head Chihuahua had hydroencephalitis?? Open fontanelles in Chihuahuas are referred to as “moleras” and they are considered to be part of the breed standard, along with the classic dome-shaped skull. It makes me wonder where she got her DVM and is it legit?

FIRST CLASS VET CARE! I brought in my female Shih Tzu with urinary problems. No expensive x-rays, etc. Dr. Barb knew the problem right away and scheduled an operation the next day. Experience counts! Now my Baby is just like a puppy again! I brought in my other 3 pooches and all also had excellent care including required shots. I would highly recommend Dr. Barb and the staff at Nye County Vet. I can only give a 5 star rating here, but it should be a 10 star!

It was unbelievable how gentle Dr. Biermeyer is with my pets and it really helps feel me at ease. It's very apparent that she truly cares about us and our pets. It's obviously not a job for her, but her passion and purpose! I love taking my pets here. I feel confident in their care and my pets really seem to like Dr. Biermeyer. The chairs in the waiting area are pretty average. Not super deluxe but not horribly uncomfortable either. The staff here goes above and beyond to make my pet and me feel at home. They are the friendliest people, especially Pam! Compared to other veterinarians in the area their pricing is pretty amazing! I'm positive I got much more than my money's worth.

I very highly recommend Dr. Barbra Biermeyer if you're looking for a worthwhile vet. She never wastes your time or money, and I wouldn't take my dogs anywhere else but to her clinic.

Do NOT let this vet take your pet out of your sight We require a vet who will work with us to find affordable -- and at least moderately up-to-date -- options, but, more importantly, we require a vet who will treat our pets with kindness and respect. When our 17-year-old cat, Leroy, reached a crisis point shortly after we moved to Pahrump in August, 2013, I took him to 3 of the 4 vets in the area and found them ALL to be UNACCEPTABLE. @Nye County Veterinary Hospital: Dr. Barbara Biermeyer insisted on taking Leroy out of our sight when she treated him. We have never allowed vets to do that in the past but had forgotten WHY we didn't allow that. Dr. Biermeyer helped us remember that ALL competent vets allow you to go with your pet, any vet who doesn't is hiding something. NEVER trust a vet who insists on treating your pet out of your sight, you would be horrified to find out what they are doing behind your back. When we decided to have Leroy put to sleep, Dr. Biermeyer, who has the worst communication skills of any vet I've ever met, told us it would be very difficult to find a vein for the lethal injection because Leroy was dehydrated and 17 years old. She explained that she would take Leroy to "the back room" to give him a sedative before she brought him back and inserted a catheter into a vein in his leg for the lethal injection. Luckily, the clinic's receptionist, a new hire, just happened to let it slip that the good doctor planned to take Leroy to "the back room" to give him an injection straight into his heart, an extremely distressing and painful procedure we had already told Dr. Biermeyer we would not allow. Dr. Biermeyer had been urging us to put Leroy down for some time, she said Leroy didn't deserve prolonged medical care because he was "just a cat." She also said there was a risk that Leroy might die while she was treating him -- in the back room, out of our sight. I hate to think what she had in mind. A great veterinarian at A Cat Hospital in Las Vegas put poor little Leroy to sleep on Nov. 21, 2013. Right in front of us the whole time, they injected a sedative into his rump, then had no problems at all finding a suitable vein in his back leg for the lethal injection. Dr. Jerry Henseler is the only area vet who will come to your home to put your pet to sleep and he told me he was more of "a dog person." He also said he would administer a lethal injection directly into Leroy's heart, obviously not an option. Before moving to Pahrump, I had never heard of a vet willing to do that to a pet, how odd to find two different vets here in Pahrump, Nevada, who perform this distressing, painful procedure on a routine basis. The more common perception of intracardiac injections is that it is not humane, and the practice is illegal in the state of California. AVMA Guidelines on Euthanasia says, “Intracardiac injection is acceptable only when performed on heavily sedated, anesthetized, or comatose animals. It is not considered acceptable in awake animals, owing to the difficulty and unpredictability of performing the injection accurately.”

Nye County Veterinary Hospital is a small office, staffed by one vet, Dr. Barbara Biermeyer, DVM, and 2-3 support personnel. The building is clean, well-kept and comfortable, and conveniently located on Hwy 160 by the McDonald's. Staff are friendly, caring and accommodating. Dr. Biermeyer is experienced and well-competent, particularly for a small Nevada town in the middle of the Mohave desert. If you live in the Pahrump area and are looking for a reputable office with kind, professional office staff and a doctor who can offer adequate veterinary services close to home, Nye County Animal Hospital is pretty much your ONLY option. We have tried three out of the four area vets. We found All Creatures Animal Hospital's Dr. Suzanne Zervantian to be grossly incompetent, not to mention crass and rude -- in fact, we wonder whether she got her medical degree from an online "accredited" college, bypassing actual medical school. I brought an elderly cat presenting signs of constipation in to see Dr. Zervantian shortly after we moved to the area. Dr. Zervantian's last comments to me at the abrupt end of that one and only visit: "If your cat is in crisis, you need to take him to Las Vegas!" As I was departing, Dr. Zervantian added: "And don't come back!" We found Homestead Animal Hospital to be nothing more than a franchise of a large chain that is unable to staff a full-time veterinarian in Pahrump. T-- the last contract veterinarian at Homestead was fired six months ago, and they haven't been able to replace her yet. I don't know why the vet was fired, we saw her on her last day at work and although she vented plenty, we were more concerned with our sick cat and didn't pay close enough attention. We haven't visited the fourth area vet, Animal Care Center of Pahrump, because we are happy with Dr. Biermeyer and Nye County Veterinary Hospital. One last note: If you are looking for 24-hour emergency vet hospitals in the Pahrump area, you are out of luck. For that, you have to make the hour+ drive into Las Vegas, to 24 Hour Las Vegas Veterinary Emergency Care (702-262-7070). If you are looking for a veterinary specialist, you can find a nest of them at the same location as the 24-hour place in Vegas, but under a different name: Las Vegas Veterinary Specialty Center. Be prepared to mortgage your home and/or take out a Care Credit credit card(s) -- the fees are astronomical.
