Dr. Hunter is an OSU alumni and it definitely shows. Somerset is extremely lucky to have him. I would rather go here than Avets any day!

Have only been there once. I was super impressed and thankful that they would see a new patient so quickly, when my own vet wouldn't! I brought a little barn kitty that wasn't feeling well and they took care of her the best they could. I believe I am changing vets!

What a great practice for our Bella. We needed a second opinion on a potential surgery that was recommended by our "former" vet practice. We were treated with respect and offered an alternative to surgery for our 10 year old Bella. A thorough explanation of her situation was provided upon diagnosis and we felt so comfortable with the recommended treatment program that did not include surgery. A great experience and now a new patient with Glades Pike Vets! It is more than worth the trip from Johnstown to have this special group care for our Bella.

First time going here, and they weren't hesitant at all to treat our pit-mix. Made me feel great that they weren't scared (he's a big love bug anyway!)
