We have been coming here for close to a year. It’s usually unbeatable! It’s out of our way as we live an hour away but they are great. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is that we paid $192 for flea and tick meds and they completely forgot to send it with us. It will make it a hassle on us getting that now but still all in all a great place to go! Just remember to go over and get your stuff before leaving.

We have been using this office since we moved here last year from out of state and they have been wonderful! The doctors and the rest of the staff are absolutely the best. They are all so kind and caring. You can tell they really love what they do. We also never have an issue making appointments especially last minute ones when something unexpected comes up with one of our dogs that we want checked. We are so glad we found them!

I had to wait a while for my appointment, but the wait was well worth it! Dr. Creamer listened to my concerns and checked my dog out thoroughly. She was wonderful! We were only there for a yearly check, but after a series of x-rays because something in his stomach didn't feel right, I could see why my 9 year old dog is hesitant to move with the arthritis and hip dysplasia I didn't know about. Yes, it cost me more than I had anticipated because of Dr. Creamer's discoveries, but my dog is moving MUCH better today than even yesterday and seems MUCH more comfortable. Thank you Dr. Creamer, for you checking and suggestions!

We came into town for the weekend and our dog needed urgent care. May Vet got us in same day (with no appointments available). They were awesome to her and very thorough. Couldn't have been a nicer experience. We will come here every time we need a Vet. Thanks May Veterinary!

Livvy, Opie, and I LOVE Dr. Creamer! She takes such good care of us and she definitely loves my dogs. We left the country for a little over two weeks. Livvy Lu and Opie stayed with May Northridge and participated in Camp May the entire time. They loved it, how do I know? We were able to watch them on the May webcam! In the early days of our trip, because of the time difference, we hadn’t seen them on the webcam, I texted May asking for photos of them, and 24 hours later I had photos and a video. The staff at May up front in the office, and in the boarding area, are TOP NOTCH and very very accommodating! I highly recommend May Northridge from both a veterinarian and boarding perspective! Love May and love Dr. Creamer!!
