I took my cat to be sent over the Rainbow bridge here. They were very caring, put a nice pillow for him to lay..Dr. Larry cared for him for months before he could do no more. He cared for my kitty and me.. He showed that by hugging me when my precious Gizzmo was gone.. Dr.Larry and his staff always made room for us when we needed him. I will be taking my kitties there when service is needed. You won't find a better clinic then Dr.Larry and his staff. We absolutely love this vet and his staff...

They are wonderful!! I have been taking my babies to them for over 18 years. They have taken care of all my fur children with kindness, love, understanding and compassion. The Vet, the staff, the facilities are the best.

I cannot say enough good things about AVM and the staff. Dr. Scott has helped us raise and say goodbye to many animals over the past 20+ years. Their professionalism and compassion is unmatched.🥰🐶🐈

they have been my babies vet since 1990. everyone is very friendly. One time I brought my cat into the vet Dr. Larry checked her out and everything was fine. But I asked for a blood test and he agreed and did the test. She was found out to be diabetic. He could have just told me that she was fine and did not need any further test But I am grateful that he did as I asked.

Dr Larry is amazing. Does a fantastic job and did a surgery on my dog other vets were scared to take on. The front desk woman is extremely rude (not Cindy she’s great) … if you can get past her nasty attitude then it’s worth it.
