Took my dog in to check her allergies and they were very rude and unprofessional. The vet tech grabbed my dog by the tail, dragged her over, and it ripped out a clump of her fur. They only care about money and try to get you to buy unnecessary medicine. The veterinarian only took 2 minutes to talk and half the time he was out in the hallway trying to get to his next appointment. 0/10 do not recommend.. too many bad experiences here.

As a current veterinary student, I just want to sing the praises of Crossroads Veterinary Hospital. They have always been able to get my highly fractious cat in, and they do such an excellent job with her, even though she is very hard to work with normally. I have taken her to other hospitals after moving out of state and no one has ever been able to handle her fractious attitude like Crossroads can. Dr. Schroeder always takes the time to go through everything with me and is a wonderful diagnostician. He has also been able to get my cats in immediately for emergencies before, coming back early

Dr. Schroeder and staff are amazing. They treat my fur babies like family there. Dr. Schroeder saved my Golden Retrievers life. Ill never forget it. It was a Saturday and they rushed Cooper in where he had emergency surgery. Dr. Schroeder had somewhere to go to but still took his time, saved Coopers life and went well above and beyond any other vet I have ever gone to. I know for sure, Cooper would not be alive today if it wasnt for Dr. Schroeder and his caring and compassionate personality. I also know my senior dog wouldnt be alive still if it wasnt for Dr.Schroeder and staff
