Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital, formerly known as Mapleview Animal Clinic, was founded in 1965 by Dr. T. Robert Bashara. The practice was first located at 9015 Ohio Street in Omaha, Nebraska. Dr. Bashara worked as a single practitioner of veterinary medicine there until 1981 when he hired his first associate. As Omaha grew, so did the need for veterinary services further west. Dr. Bashara opened a second veterinary hospital in 1985 at 120th and Blondo, which was then called Candlewood Animal Hospital. After a few years, and substantial growth, a third associate was hired. Both hospitals kept three full-time associates very busy for the next few years, and in 1997, Dr. Peter Bashara, a recent Iowa State Veterinary Medicine graduate and the son of Dr. Bashara, returned to Omaha and joined the family business. Omaha's continuing westward expansion once again required the need for veterinary services, and construction began to build a state-of-the-art veterinary hospital on the outskirts of the city. In 1999 the Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital was opened by Dr. Bashara and his son Dr. Peter Bashara at 153rd and Maple in the Torrey Pines shopping center. The business continued to grow and currently has 44 professional and non-professional employees. We also offer acupuncture and laser therapy services!

Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital exceeds my expectations of what an animal hospital should be like by so much. Everyone that works here truly loves what they do and it makes it such an easier process.

The doctors and staff at Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital do such a good job at making our girls (two dogs) feel so loved and taken care of. I recommend everyone I know to use them as their vet.

They are great, always are. I bring my dog in there to get a hair cut and the staff are always so friendly. I dont think I could ask for a better place to bring my animals.

It is far from our home but the staff is special. Our two little dogs do not seem traumatized after getting their nails cut. That means a lot to us.

Staff is very friendly with pets and their people. Vets take time to listen and explain. They all make you feel like you matter, that your pet is wonderful, and that they care. The facility always appears clean and well cared for. I appreciate it all.

We changed to the Gentle Doctor Animal Hospital for our dogs because it was closer...it was the best thing for our hounds we did. We have always recieved great service, vets, techs and support staff. Then our youngest dog had a life threatening crisis and was diagnosed with Addison's disease. During the process of diagnosis and then treatment and then recuperation, we always felt secure in the decisions and treatment our Duffy was receiving was great....and he is doing great. Because of his condition, we spend a lot of time at the hospital and have been nothing but pleased. We highly recommend it to others.

I wish there was a negative star rating. Our little yorkie was prescribed a medication by another vet but her care was transferred over to gentle doctor animal hospital. She began to show all sorts of the negative side effects (throwing up, note eating, lethargic, depressed)related to this drug and the gentle doctor never told us to discontinue use! Furthermore the doctor didn't know why she was throwing up or lethargic or wouldn't eat...she told us it was because she was dehydrated! I had to do research myself and meet with a specialist to find out (after she started vomitting blood) that it was due to this medicine. Sad to say my sweet yorkie died 1/6/12 from kidney failure due to the toxicity of this medicine. If the gentle doctor was knowledgeable about this drug and had properly diagnosed her my baby would still be with me today. RIP Carmella you will forever be loved.
