I’m new to Springfield and not sure which vet to trust with my dachshund who needs sudden care asap. Anyone know any with payment plans?

Triple this. Dr.Flathers is great.
Another vote for Dr. Flathers! :-) Also look into CareCredit to help cover those larger vet bills.
Yes care credit is an awesome resource to have
This vet is awful for cats. They ignored everything I said and charged me over 200$ to say my cat was fine when he wasent

I don't have any experience with others, but All Creatures on Kearney worked with us once for payments on an unexpectedly large bill.

My only issue with them is they refused to do further tests and kept trying to shove science diet that was loaded with grain onto my grain-intolerant, disabled cat. I brought her in on an issue of continued diarrhea and they wouldn't run a stool sample, blood work or even entertain the idea of trying enzymes into her diet. I finally swapped cat food and added an enzyme treat to her diet and it drastically improved in just a couple of days. I swapped to grant ave pet hospital and while they dont have the cheapest prices they will do estimates up front to help and theyve been good to my animals since.
Absolutely love all creatures and dr Blackburn. Both our dogs go there and have for years. They also just squeezed our big girl in on Monday when she pulled back a claw. Definitely recommend.
Idk about payment plans but Angel Animal Hospital is a vet and Dr. Flathers is literally an angel. She allowed me to bring in my cat on death's door before the vet even opened. She is amazing.
Have you looked into care credit cards? They may provide you with different options.
We are at Galloway Village Vet now, and very impressed with the level of scientifically advanced care our dogs are getting. I think their fees are competitive, and commensurate with the excellent care they provide.
If you wind up needing after-hours care, the emergency vet (400 S Glenstone) is excellent, as well.
I will never recommend that emergency vet after the horrible experience I had with them. I wish we had more in Springfield though.
Another one to avoid is Sunshine Animal Hospital. I knew one of their long-standing vets personally and had taken my animals there for several years, and was happy with the treatment they got. But then I discovered my dog's bloodwork had been indicating elevated liver enzymes for *three years* before the vet thought maybe she should tell me. By then my dog was terribly weak and sick. The vet just shrugged. I took my dog elsewhere and they found a large inoperable cancerous tumor. I don't know whether the vet at Sunshine didn't have the equipment and knowledge to think "cancer" when she first saw my dog's bloodwork, or if she just didn't give a damn.

Route 66 Pet Clinic, Dr Becky is a great veterinarian. I don't know about payment plans though.
Do not go to the Animal Care Center on S Campbell
I’m sorry you had a bad experience, but I thought they did a good job getting a senior dog in and taken care of for me.
I have used Animal Care Center for years and they have always gotten me in quickly for emergencies with no fee and let me in with my pup. I love Dr. Jones! Can I ask what you didn't like about thm?
Most/all vets around won’t do payment plans but will offer Care Credit which is a credit card you apply for. I use Grant Avenue Pet Hospital and they are pretty medium priced, but when I brought in my cat for minor issues and he suddenly died of a genetic defect he’d had since birth, they only charged me for his cremation and xrays. It was very nice. I would not recommend Thomas Rouse at all though. I saw him for my dog once and he was very condescending and rude. Every other vet is absolutely amazing though. When having a dog like a dachshund, I would really recommend pet insurance as they can be prone to back and joint issues. I hope everything works out!
