Doc's has always taken care of my pup (heeler mix going on 8 years now). A few months ago she needed her CCL (ACL) reconstructed and Dr. Dave and the vet techs did an amazing job with the surgery and after care. Dr. Dave called to check up on her on many occasions and has always been extremely thorough. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Doc's- I am so thankful and appreciative of every person there.

My grandparents took their 18 year old chihuahua into Docs as she was having breathing issues. Docs should have indicated that their dog was old and at the end of her life and offered to give her medication to ease her pain. Instead they kept this poor dog for over 3 hours running up a bill of over $500 for unnecessary tests. They called my grandparents to pick her up and sent them in their way with some medication. Minutes after getting home their dog passed away which I'm inclined to believe was caused by the stress of all the tests. I believe Docs took advantage of an elderly couple and their

Horrible front desk staff, rude, uncaring, unprofessional. Dr Dave is nice, his wife is a narcissist who doesn't care about anyone. Do not take your pets here, 700 dollars spent still didn't know what the issue was.They only care about money.

After having 2 of my cats seen and after about spending @$1,000 with no proper diagnosis and treatment, I highly recommend never taking your pet to Doc's. My 1 cat had crystals and a severe urinary tract infection. No resolution to that problem until I did more research and solved it myself. Next cat, took it in for a 1 year checkup with concerns about teeth and bad red gums along all teeth. The male veterinarian owner said, "He's too young to have gum disease." I took this cat 3 years later to another vet and the diagnosis is gum disease. So he has been suffering the last 3 years in pain and now

We've been going here for 10 years, everything from Dogs to Guinea Pigs. They take great personal care and follow up extensively. I am just continuously impressed with their care and service. For once, it is worth the money to go to a business, and you don't feel remorse over not getting good service!

Dr Habler ... I've been bringing my dogs to you for a very long time. You amaze me with your knowledge...compassion...patience and calm demeanor. You have always had time to talk with me about my pets and have never rushed me in any situation. I frequently recommend you and your staff to other pet owners. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all that you do. You are the best!!!
