Dr. Michelle Toms-Greene is hands down, the best veterinarian I've ever dealt with. She has compassion, is empathetic, sympathetic, understanding, kind and pleasant to talk with. The staff are all amazing! Lauren is great with answering my emails about Hope in a timely manner. I can't say enough about her. I could go on and on about the practice. It's wonderful!

Dr. Michelle and the staff at Rutherford Veterinary Hospital have been taking care of my babies for years. From the front desk staff, to the kennel staff to the doctors and techs, they are the most caring, professional, and dedicated group of people you can imagine. They have laughed with me at the antics of my pets, and cried with me when one is crossing the rainbow bridge. They are the best!

I have a busy schedule and many times they have watched my pups for hours while I was at work and they needed to be seen and even when we were closing on our house and our lab had an allergic reaction the same morning! When my husky was declining, Dr. Walker and Lauren coordinated with local and emergency vets to make sure she was always in the best care possible. On numerous occasions for all of my pups, Dr. Walker has gone
