Dr Pope was very thorough and easy to understand of what was wrong with my baby Barney. The check out girl went over and beyond of just being extremely understanding and very nice. Wish I would have gotten her name !?

My baby was neutered today and he had two baby teeth pulled. I couldnt be happier with how it turned out! Hes acting like his normal self 4 hours after the surgery, no discomfort at all! And the prices are amazing compared to other places I had quotes from. The environment at elk creek is very clean and comforting. Staff was very nice and informative as well. Ill definitely be coming back! Thank you for taking care of Fynn!

Report
Our cat was vomiting and refusing to eat for over 24 hours. We took him to urgent care and they told us to try riding it out after his bladder test showed no life threatening blockage. They said by Monday if he wasn’t eating to bring him back. Monday morning they told us they had a 7 hour wait at minimum, and we had to be in the parking lot (with a sick animal) for the entire wait or we’d lose our spot because there was no list. We began frantically calling everywhere we could to get him immediate attention. Elk Creek (Mt. Washington Location) was about the 10th clinic we called. And

I only have 2 other vets to compare them with as we used one particular vet hospital for 20+ years. With that being said, I am very satisfied with our first visit today. Friendly and showed compassion and patience for my "little" guy!

Managed to get an appointment quickly for a sick cat's first visit. Dr. Allison Ingram was friendly, thorough and informative. Examination, test, 2 shots, free sample at a very reasonable charge.

Today was my first visit with my little Zoey and we had the pleasure of Dr. Joni Lindquist taking great care of my girl. She spent time looking over Zoey, listening to my concerns, and offered some great solutions and empathy. I thoroughly felt like a part of the family and not an outsider. Thank you, Bridget for the referral!
