Overall I have had good experiences With veterinarian care. The reason for the 3 star review has to do with professionalism. It’s foxtail season, dogs get foxtails no matter how careful I am. Often times I am able to remove them on my own. This time my dog needed vet visit for the removal. I come home and reread the care instructions to find a written note at the bottom “Take better care of my yard..” . My dog got the fox tail at the park., not that it matters where he got it… This year is an exceptionally bad season for foxtails… . So let’s hold off on assumptions of care or lack of care. And be mindful of judgments . Maybe be grateful I cared enough to bring my dog in to avoid infection… I know I am grateful to have vet care to remove it. I get it, must have been a busy and sometimes that gets the best of any of us. Suggestion to the office and staff to keep it professional with comments, opinions and assumptions…especially when a dog is clearly cared for.

Dr and staff wonderful with Shelby my Dad's cat, that I inherited. The Dr took such good care of her even when it was her time for the rainbow bridge at the age of 19 years old. She was so well taken care of. Thank you so much for the great care for her.

Dr. Hodge was fantastic and so compassionate when my dog had to have emergency surgery to remove items from her stomach (hooray for Labradors who eat everything!) during the follow up calls he and his staff were so professional and friendly. I knew my sweet girl was in good hands!

Hard giving a 5 when losing a pet. Dr. Hoge is an amazing vet and made a hard choice more comforting to make. He's compassionate, loves what he does, and loves your animal like his own. Bye Pepper we love you!

!!ABSOLUTE TRAAAAAASH!!!!! I had to pay $700+ for an issue they didn't even fix. My dog has a dripping problem. I brought my dog in. They did the normal checkup and a round of tests. They instead came back saying that he has an ear infection????? Maybe the dog has one, but they didn't diagnose the dogs problem with the dripping. I looked up online and theres multiple reasons a dog could be dripping and they didn't provide one. And most of the reasons are easily treatable, as long as the cause is known. So I paid for the checkup, tests, and ear medication. That all came to above $700. They didn't even call or ask us if we wanted to do the tests or how much it would be. They just footed us the bill. We had to drop of our dogs in the clinic and wait in the parking lot because this happended during Covid. What upsets me is these guys were clearly just trying to make some money, but they also didn't even give a propper diagnosis for the dog. So now our dog suffers too!!
