A friend recommended this clinic to me, and I'm so glad she did. The entire staff was great! Adel was very friendly and helpful over phone and email, and she got authorization to work my dog in last minute. The front desk staff was welcoming upon arrival. Jennifer, the technician, was also very kind and knowledgeable, and she took very good care of my dog. Dr. Dewhurst was very thorough and was also extremely nice to both me and my dog. This clinic is full of people who obviously care a lot about their patients and who are all very good at what they do. I can't say enough good things. Thank you all!

I would never recommend these people. They may be good vets but without a doubt they are the rudest most disrespectful animal clinic I have ever encountered. If you have an appointment don't expect it to be kept by them. Their word is no good I had an appointment for 9AM. I arrived 10 mins early like you would for a regular doctor. They made me sit for 25 minutes in a cold exam room and never updated me on what to expect for the vet to get to me.
At 9:15 I left angry that all they would tell me is because I'm a new client they needed time to review our records. I have a 5 year old dog with no issues and no records to speak of. These people are liars and they are rude as I've ever met.

We have been using Mem 610 hospital for animals for a few years. The staff are excellent. The doctors genuinely care for the animals and treat them like their own pets. Very knowledgable and actually try and save you money rather than looking for ways to charge more like some vets. As a result you may find they are often busy so try be proactive. However we have had emergencies as well and they were able to help us out!

We love Memorial 610! Have been taking my dogs here for years and have only had great experiences. I have a vet aggressive dog and the staff is absolutely amazing with her- we have seen Dr. Freeny, Pittenger, Dewhirst, and Rose and they have all been incredible. Jen is very patient and kind- my normally very scared dog loves her! Would absolutely recommend this clinic.

Another excellent annual physical for Colt - your staff and DR. Rose are awesome! The only negative was that I couldn't schedule Colt's teeth cleaning until June 8th!

Experience is always great, everyone I've interacted with has been understanding, well informed, and accommodating. I've met with every vet and they really take the time to make sure you understand what is going on with your pet and what steps you can take. They are all extremely knowledgeable.
