My little doggie hurt her paw pad in the aftermath of our recent flooding! Her paw was on fire and I was afraid of infection. They got me right in and gave me several options for caring for her, both externally and internally. It helped her and also gave me calm and caring things I could do to get her condition under control.

I have been a patient at SOAH for about 6 years. I really appreciate how kind the staff is and accomodating for emergencies. Dr. Levine is a fantastic vet. He is commpassionate, but transparent and realistic.

I really appreciated being seen quickly for an emergency, even though I just moved here. Staff is super nice and Dr Chang is amazing. My 18mo semi-feral kittie let her examine her, which was the best rating of all. You can tell she cares, and took time to answer my many questions. Definitely my new vet.

Dr. Chang is the best vet I've ever taken my pets to. She is extremely knowledgeable and helped my kitten out so much today with her flea problem. She listens and really takes the time to explain what the issues are without speaking in medical jargon. I would recommend her to anyone.

Dr. Levine is amazing. Just yesterday, he went out of his way - AGAIN - to help my cat. He has helped my animals after hours, taken calls on weekends, and he literally let me come in and see my dying cat a few years ago on the night of Thanksgiving. He is an absolute treasure and on top of the above he is smart, kind, helpful AND goes out of his way to save you money. Who does that? I am moving to Florida and the biggest regret I have is that I will lose him as our family vet. Truly one of a kind. The staff is kind and helpful as well. All in all it's a great practice.
