Dr's. Laur and Persia are wonderful vets. We have never waited more than 10 minutes on a scheduled appointment. We have a dog and cat and both receive the same level of care....excellent! Even during the Covid crisis curbside service was wonderful.

First visit to Arborview Veterinary was great. The vet was very knowledgeable and helped our dog get well. We had already visited another vet without success. Next is an appointment to get a feral friend neutered!

They take amazing care for both of my boys. I absolutely love the way you all care for my kitty's just the same as I do. Thanks for always being there when we need you.

They were the only vet that knew what was ailing my dog Albert and able to fix his paws. Recently, my 17 year old dog Cali had to cross over and I could not have asked for a more compassionate team of people to be there. They made sure I knew what was going on through everything and helped make a difficult process more bearable. They are great people working to help our beloved pets. Prices are reasonable and they have very knowledgeable staff.
