They helped us with the end of life of our beloved 13 year old English mastiff Princess. They exercised compassion and their knowledge was very comforting to my family at a very difficult time. When we decided to get another mastiff puppy. We choose to bring Daisy there as well. Our experience there made it a no brainer.

So caring and kind to both me and my pup. Dr. Scott was very thorough and took so much time easing my concerns after my 3yr old labradoodle had a seizure. They had me come to the office immediately with him and did the work up. I cant thank them enough!

I love this veterinary practice from the front desk staff to the vet techs and assistants and the veterinarians. I've got quite a few pets of my own and I also foster dogs so I've had the pleasure of bringiing my animals here quite often. The physical space is clean and bright, the team members are all pleasant, engaging, and focused on helping both your pet and you. Many times they've gone above and beyond to ensure my pets have been seen as quickly as possible. The science supporting their care is spot on, up-to-date and you just can't beat the compassion and competence of the entire team! I

Our senior dog has multiple issues due to aging. Dr McLean is thorough in her examinations and addressed all of our concerns. She offered options for care and allowed us to decide if/when we want suggested treatment without judgement. We believe that our pet has been able to age gracefully thanks to Dr McLean.
