Dr. Scott Sims is by far the most knowledgable and caring vet we have seen. His priority is always the animals no matter the hour. He always goes above and beyond to treat all creatures whether it is your pet, livestock or a wild animal that was hit by a car. He will always do the best he can!

Dr. Sims will be greatly missed.. I loved him and the show. I feel so bad for his family and friends. To loose anyone is the hardest reality we all will face at some time in our lives. The pain never goes away but all we can do is try to continue to make our loved ones proud of us and carry on with life the best way we can. I hope this clinic can continue on in his name. I love you all and I am so very sorry for your loss. We have all have lost a truly exceptional man of compassion, caring, and understanding for every animal in the animal kingdom. Dr. Scott was so much like my veterinarian here in New York. Dr. Donald S. Lewis. These men are hard to find now a days. I am so very lucky to have found Dr. Lewis' father first many many years ago until his retirement, then passed down to the son whom has the same great qualities of his father and Dr. Sims.I have been with Dr. Don Lewis also for many many years, with no intentions of leaving ever, He has saved my best friend, my companion, my 3 pound Chihuahua Squeex more than once. A special thank you to Dr. Sims for everything that you have done for all of us, you will be sadly missed but thought of fondly..
