This was our first visit with our dogs. The veterinarian and staff took very good care of our dogs. They explained everything in great detail and advised us of options for various treatments. No pressure to obtain vaccinations or other services. Overall a very pleasant experience. Our sincere thanks to Veterinary Associates.

To say I have loved every experience I have had over the past 1+ years would be an understatement! Every vet I have seen at the practice has been wonderful! Dr Clark took excellent care of my 10yr old chihuahua for his dental! Went over everything they were doing and was extremely thorough! I felt very comfortable trusting her with his care and she would being doing what he NEEDED! Today's visit with Dr Brett was for my cat who had been sick the past week. He was able to see him within the week! Which was great I know how hard this can be with how crazy everywhere is booked up! I have never seen

I've been trying to get my child-dog in to see a vet for months, with no success! Doctor said they were booked until October, so was the other vet down 68! I mentioned this to another pet parent and they said their wife takes their pet here!! I decided to call them! What a huge disappointment, they are only accepting current clients so my dog can just suffer, wither up and die!!! And people wonder why people are losing it everywhere!!!
