I have never had any problems with this business. They always give me a cost of service and it's reasonable I'd ask you to compare. Also, They love the animals it's easy to see that. I trust them completely with our animals!

Somehow my dog got a stick stuck between her teeth at the roof of her mouth. She was freaking out and pawing at it and wouldn't hold still for me to get it. So I took her there about 15 min before closing and they got her in and said they'd call when she was all set. About 1.5 hours later they called and said all was well. Then another 1.5 hours after that (about 9pm) they said she is awake come get her. The next day when I went to settle the bill it was much less than expected! I highly recommend this vet and will use them again.

The Dr at this clinic is very knowledgeable, but more importantly he will discuss with you what he knows to make sure you are informed when making care decisions. His honesty is also very refreshing. Procedures are never done unless necessary for the animal, and when the bill is tallied it is accurate and fair. Prices are very reasonable for the level of care that always seems to be given. If this hasn't helped convince you, the receptionist/assistant is one of the nicest people you'll have the pleasure to talk with. After trying a couple different veterinary clinics over the past few years, I'll be staying at this one.

Dr. Montgomery and his wife Kathy are fantastic. Kathy is a very friendly and patient technician. Dr. Montgomery is very thorough and knowledgeable. He has an old school, no nonsense mindset and will spend time talking with you and sharing his expertise so that you are on the same page with him and the best interest of your pets. He is a great communicator. He spent almost an hour talking with me about the best ways to resolve my dog's allergy problems after they were closed. This clinic was recommended by my great friend and Cardiologist specialist Veterinarian Dr. Dawn Webber. Thanks all!
