Love Dr Bush! I used to see him with my chihuahua at East Springs when I lived here before. I moved back to the Springs and discovered he has his own practice now at Northgate. I drive past many vets to get to him with both my German Shepherd and another chihuahua.

Anytime you have to take a pet family member in for most anything, it raises your concern and anxiety for you and your family member. Brad and his staff are amazing. Update phone calls, explaining of what ever. Completion and recovery phone call. Check in a few days later phone call. Thank you!

Northgate has done a great job with both our lab-husky mix and our fat Vizsla. We recently had a scare where our lab had gotten into something and needed an emergency visit and the staff at Northgate were very understanding and worked with us in case we were unable to get her to an emergency vet. If you're new to the area and looking for a vet, I strongly recommend Northgate over Timberview.
