*This review is not a reflection of Dr. Boin's professionalism, but of his rogue staff member that goes by the name of Justin Sharp (Veterinary Technician).*
We've taken our dog to Near North in the past, but had been living out of town for the last two years. We recently moved back and our dog was due for his yearly checkup and vaccinations. Though it is out of the way from where we are living now, we decided that we still wanted to reach out to Dr. Boin because of our previous interaction and the comfort our dog felt with him. Naturally, rapport and trust is important when it comes to the health

Wonderful, caring vet and meticulously clean office. Reasonable charge. There was no attempt to inflate the bill with unnecessary testing.

Dr Henderson has been caring for our animals for 12 years. Just had routine care for 2 of our furry kids today. Excellent service, care, information and advice, as we've come to expect and always receive.
