I love this place! The staff is so sweet and caring. I brought my dog Toby there for ear infection and they were so helpful and sweet to him (he gets super nervous at new places) He was a bit nervous when we… came in and couldn’t get him to sit still to get his weight but they were so nice to him and patient and they were able to get him to be calm and got his weight at the end. They were very gentle and helpful and gave great medical advice for his ear and skin issues. Toby really loved the staff also. I also had a follow up question and they responded instantly and were very helpful

One of the VERY few places who will see pocket pets. I had almost given up after calling 5+ vets in the area. Glad to know I can trust Heritage for looking after my gerbils in the future! Mitzi is feeling much better after some antibiotics ❤️ PS: she loved her get well card :-)

They are so amazing. The veterinarians and vet techs there are so caring. I have to board my animal sometimes, and it makes me feel so much better that she's with the wonderful people she already knows. I've stopped in to buy RX food for my dog, and they ask how she is by name! I really feel that they care for my dog, and I trust them. It also helps that my dog loves all of them too.

If you are in need of a new Vet or have an emergency I highly recommend Heritage Animal Hospital. The doctors here are top notch and they treat our furry family members like their own. Thank You Doctor Alger for all you’ve done for both of my senior cats.

Without a doubt. Dr. Silverstein is the most incredible vet I have ever met. He took care of my cat, Kiwi with such love and compassion. I can tell he loves his job and he truly has both you and your pets… interest at heart. I truly wish he had been around to say goodbye to my Kiwi yesterday. But the rest of the staff there was wonderful. I’ll miss going in and how excited they’d get to see my little baby. I truly recommend this vet to everyone. If you want to know your pet is in the best of hands- this is the place
