Dr. Sane and everyone at the Hospital took great care of my very nervous and sensitive dog Guinness for 14 years. We recently had to decide to put him down due to lymphoma which is terminal. Dr. Miller and Steve were with us and had so much compassion that sad day and every day. My husband and I have been so grateful to the staff. Guinness was very comfortable with everyone. I cannot thank them enough.

The staff at the hospital is simply wonderful and 100% worth travel or any other thing getting in your way of using this clinic. They're super responsive to email--both their techs and their vets--which gives a whole new level of care. My only caution is if you're trying to keep costs down. Vaccination costs are pretty average ($45-85), but to test something can get expensive (for example, to test a cyst on a dog in case it's a tumor is about $325). If it's not a problem for you, they're well worth it.

We've been taking our Portuguese Water Dog, Riptide, here for over 8 years. GVAH has always been able to accommodate our schedule even in emergency situations. Dr. Sane is a compassionate, highly skilled vet and the whole team is top-notch and very professional. Their knowledge, willingness and ability to assess and address issues really is exceptional. Highly recommended!

Dr. Sane saved my cat Velcro's life years ago! After being misdiagnosed by a vet who only treats cats, Dr. Sane not only made the diagnosis but cured him and he lived many more years with total quality of life. He's compassionate and a great surgeon as well. The entire staff is wonderful, and I'm confident the 2 cats I currently have are being very well cared for.
