Report
I have been looking for a vet for nearly 3 years since I moved here. I initially came here as I was interested in laser therapy for my dog and was very unhappy with my previous vet since I couldn't seem to help alleviate my dogs pain. This is a world of difference. The laser therapy is so helpful and there is a great convienance in how you can schedule appointment online. It's also very reasonably priced.
I've seen a huge difference in my dog. I've had two vets call and check in her progress unprompted which made me feel like they really care. Today really sealed for me how much I appreciate finding this office. We had a medical emergency and they worked my dog in, took great care of her, and kept in great communication. Chris at the front desk is so sweet and all the techs are so good with my dog during therapy. It's a huge weight off my shoulders knowing that even though this is a hard time with my dogs health issues, I have other people advocating and caring for her. Very grateful I found this place.

I came to NAH from a friend's recommendation. Very pleased with the caring treatment of my baby girl. Very concerned, listen, love each pet, and treat the owners with respect. I am so glad I found this group. Wasn't impressed with the groomer. I learned the hard way on this particular service. If you want a breed specific cut I'd find a good independent groomer.but if you want a bath, nail trim you're good to go. This group rates an excellent score from this old retired teacher who was strict when grading work. Thanks guys for going the extra mile!

I've worked with Dr. Johnson and Dr. Stock at NAH and they are both wonderful! Having an accident-prone puppy, I'm always so grateful that the clinic has been able to get me in on short notice multiple times. Dr. Johnson even comes up with creative ways to do treatments on my fearful, face-shy pup. The staff treats you and your pet like family!
