Had a wonderful experience taking my dog to see Dr. Johnson. I was having an emergency situation and had called 15+ ER and non-ER vets to get my dog looked at. They were able to work him in shortly after I called and took great care of him. They kept me well informed during his follow up appointments and would recommend them.

Everyone at Compassionate Care is so loving of the pets they treat. They know the pet's name and general demeanor. The doctors make sure to speak with the pet owner about what's going on. And, customers are told in advance of estimated costs.

This place really means it when they say "compassionate care." I've only had good experiences here with my cat for the years she just need routine healthcare, and now as she is receiving hospice care I have felt so cared for and treated with empathy and compassion. Every person who has seen my at here has seemed to genuinely care about her and her well being and it makes me feel a lot of trust in their care. It's been a hard time for me the past couple months with a very sick pet and the staff here is doing everything they can to help me through it.
