Today was my cat's very first visit at Countryside Animal Hospital. The technician and reception staff are very friendly and kind spirited. I also met with Dr. Jennifer Whyatt. She is also very kind and personable. I was pleasantly surprised with my entire experience. I am grateful and relieved to know that my kitty will get expert care in the hands of these wonderful people. It's not an easy job. Your hard work and expertise do not go unnoticed. Thank you staff at Countryside for reassuring us pet owners by treating our fur-babies like they are your own.

I've been working with Doctors Herman and Garland for close to 20 years. They are kind, caring and incredible doctors, their staff was absolutely incredible. . Unfortunately they sold the practice. The new ownership/management just doesn't measure up. The prices are triple what they were, which would be fine but the office staff is so difficult. We are working on finding a new place for our fur babies but I am afraid I will never find another vet like Dr. Garland and Herman.

The vets and staff at Countryside are awesome! We have been very pleased over the years! They have been caring for our multiple pets - dogs (4 all together - two grew old and passed and we have 2 currently) and cats (2 total, 1 currently, the first passed due to cancer and had her care with countryside) since 2002. Our first dog we adopted was healthy until she grew old and eventually needed a palliative plan which they put right in place to keep her comfortable throughout the end. They have been kind, compassionate and professional with every encounter we have ever had with them!! They don't do

The absolute most well-educated, knowledgeable, compassionate, patient, gentle, understanding, caring, talented, helpful, available, thorough, and truly animal-loving veterinarians, vet techs, and veterinary staff that I have ever engaged with! I will never take my furry family members anywhere else for veterinary care because the quality of care at Countryside is so consistently and unequivocally exceptional. There is not another veterinary practice, nor another team of veterinarians/veterinary staff, as wonderful and pleasant as Countryside!
