Dr. Rebecca Erwin is the ONLY vet I will ever take my animals to. I started with her when I lived in Peabody, and continue with her even after moving to wichita. She's COMPLETELY worth it! She genuinely cares about the animals she takes care of as well as the owners. Definitely recommend to anyone and everyone :

Jessica and her staff do a great job and as best as they can. I've dealt with all the vets in the 10-mile radius, and have had mixed luck with all. That can be expected being the animal lover that I am and with all the cats and dogs I've taken care of. AHC cares about our furry pals and Jessica has helped keep one of the two greatest dogs I've ever had alive when I believed the end was near. I'd certainly recommend AHC for your canine and feline friends. Being a veterinarian is by no means an easy task, but Jessica and Rebecca do very well. I'm very grateful for that.
