Affordable services as well, didnt know what to expect but after a veterans discount my puppy got a full set of shots, wormer, stool sample, checkup and microchip for just over 130..great deal! Definitely recommend and will be back myself!

I like the caring, cheerful, attentive attitudes the staff project and the cleanliness of the entire facility. I didn't have to stay in the main waiting room long as they have 6 private rooms where there are large computers with all a pet's history. The doctor took time to examine my pet even though I was there specifically for the 3 year shots. My dog didn't even flinch getting the shots! ( : The doctor even noticed how well my dog was groomed and I do fuss over him, so I liked that! You always see the same doctor and that means a lot to me, to have a relationship. I have already recommended this

This is a excellent place to take care of your animal the owner of the business the Dr" makes his self know to the customers. And all staff treat customers with a smile and are professional. The main thing is that the animals are carefully cared for by train caring staff workers daily.

Called for a first visit with Dr Mack as a new patient. My cat had an issue, nothing life threatening, but they got us in within a few days. Was impressed with that for sure. Dr Mack is a pleasure. She explained everything and made sure I had no questions left unanswered. The office staff is very nice and the office is very clean and does not have that disinfectant smell that I always had at my last vet office. This office just smells clean. Also nice big waiting area so your animals are not real close and there are separate doors for entering and exiting when you are done your visit.

Having reactive dogs makes going to the vet more stressful than usual - until I found this clinic. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure all their patients can be seen safely and without incident, which is a tremendous load off my mind. Each interaction I've had, my questions/concerns were addressed thoroughly and openly, I never leave feeling like I've been dismissed or without answers. I'm just so grateful to have access to such an amazing care team for my animals, I cannot recommend this clinic enough!

We are new to the area, and I was concerned about finding a good vet, one who would understand my pet's needs and not just rush through procedures and what not then charge a high price for hardly any service. That's not the case here. The staff is very friendly and welcoming, the building itself is well kept and pretty, and the treatment itself was wonderful. My cat can be temperamental at the vets (can't say say I blame him), but Dr K and the practice manager Jessica handled him so well. They ensured both him and I were comfortable, that all steps were taken to reduce his stress level, and that
