The "nurses" were polite and welcoming. The doctor could definitely work on her customer service attitude. Walking around like her shizz smells better than the animals. Haha.

Margie is the very best. Treats you and your pets with respect. She is very knowledgeable and was great with blood draws and injections. I won't go anywhere else for my fur baby's needs!

We has an emergency with my 9 year old lad/dox mix. They got us in the very next morning. All the saff were so kind and respectful to all three of us. My baby even walked in with no hesitation, now given she is a pretty laid back dog, but she has always showen some kind of fear when going to the vet. That was what is really importante.
