There was not much more a person could expect from this place. We had an appointment and were on time, as was the veterinarian. She was very pleasant and extremely kind. The young lady who greeted us in the examination room was also very pleasant, eager, and knowledgeable. I would never stick my hand in a strange dog's mouth to make them swallow a pill. But she made it look effortless. I thought the place was a bit pricy, but you can not blame them for inflation....as that is the fault of the Federal Reserve.... I will gladly say this place is my vet!

Critter Fixer is great! They are very compassionate, kind and accommodating. I have been taking my pets here for years. Doctor Hodges, has always been straight with me. He doesn't over charge and he doesn't beat around the bush. If you ask him he will honestly tell you. My 🐈 Fluffy was nine and developed fourth stage bone cancer. Doctor Hodges, did all he could, but she did not have to suffer. Thank God.. After he put her to sleep, he prepared her for burial. He wrapped her in her favorite blanket, and my husband went to pick her up, so we could lay her to rest, in our backyard. I since have acquired a 🐕 his name is Russell. Doctor Hodges has been looking after him for years. He is now getting older, and going on thirteen. He enjoys going to the vet. He is a happy dog and living life to the fullest. So, if you are looking for a veterinarian, then look no further, because you can't go wrong with Critter Fixer and Doctor Hodges 😊 Carolyn Santos 👩 pet lover♥

All the veterinarians are very professional and knowledgeable. The prices are not as inexpensive as others in our area but the fact that they are so kind and loving toward your pet makes the experience worth the price!! The wait time can be long on some days but their attentiveness to your pet will put that part of the visit as a minor inconvenience. My toy poodle puppy Olivia Pope has no complaints!!

I pets to critter fixers years ago when the only location was in Byron. back then he was great; personally attentive, reasonable prices. ever since he got famous i can't find any reason to go there because their prices are 3 times higher than my vet and several others and at least my vet is on site. how come shots at one place are $40-$60 yet you can't get out of his (or whoever works they now) office for under $200. And don't even mention a teeth cleaning without getting a bank loan first. so disappointed that he forgot where he started. if you truly love animals, you're prices should be reasonable enough for people to be able to afford the care they need.

This is from exotic perspective. I've went for my gecko. Felt when I asked questions I was belittled. Tried following up asking question that concerned me sent pic to email and called but no response back to me. And I still have something going wrong with my gecko that isn't normal. But was told she was perfectly healthy but the insane weight loss she has to me says other wise. Just frustrated as not only did I not receive call just to routine check on her have not got answered back from when I reached out few times. picture just to show how much weight loss has happened.
