They actually sat down on the floor with him and made sure he was happy the whole time it was so sweet. They really spent time with him and made sure all of my questions were answered and my concerns were addressed. Thank you!

My husband and I were very impressed with Dr. Tongue, Patrick, and the entire staff. Our kitty is one of the least cooperative "patients", and they were so good at handling his fear and complaining, and truly meeting him at his level. We moved to this vet largely because they were actually allowing an owner to come in with their pet, and we are so happy we did. Highly recommend them!

Beyond being a great vet center, these folks are a class act. One of our older guinea pigs, not currently undergoing treatment for anything, passed away. They whole office staff signed a card and sent alovely note. They also made a donation in his name to a reforesting project. So incredibly thoughful. Always great service. Its not always easy to find small animals vets in the area in an emergency. So appreciate them.
