Dr. Womer took great care of our dog, Shelby, today for her surgery. She communicated well both before and after the procedure so we would know what to expect. We are highly impressed.

Great friendly staff, especially with my scaredy-cat dog. They really accommodate his needs. Reasonable pricing & they take their time explaining everything. Thanks ladies. Oh bonus it’s on a beautiful property and we love to see the horses while we are there

My cat Rocky is diabetic. His glucose levels were very high. With the guidance of all of the employees, I was able to get him off insulin and just keep him on special food! He was also fat but lost a lot of weight. Great advice gave Rocky a great outcome!

Although I am thankful that Ironestone squeezed me in at least minute with my sick chicken, and that the office staff was incredibly kind, Dr. Allen was not personable. (She also keeps the exam room open where waiting patients can see and hear right into). We found a stray chicken two days prior which we decided to keep. Dr. Allen made me feel, due… to the chickens condition, like I knew nothing about chickens (which isn’t true). She also told me that he most likely he would not make it and that he was underweight and had neurological issues. She gave me antibiotics for him anyway

When a dog is brought in to be seen for a sore from rubbing their face on a carpeted floor, the first question asked should not be “so do you want me to put her down?” She has a small sore that the owners want… to have healed because they care about their animal. Who in their right mind would put a dog down for that reason? Very uncaring and unprofessional.

It's so comforting to know your dog loves going to the Vet. Bonus is they also do grooming and Barb does a fantastic job .
