I love Red Barn Veterinary Clinic & have been coming to them for years. They always return my calls right away & I’m always able to get an appointment quickly. The staff is great & very helpful but I have to say Dr. G is my favorite. I also love that I never feel judged or lectured & they are really good & thorough at going through all possible options, weighing each of the pros & cons for each. I recommend them to everyone.

I am so happy to have found this place. I googled some vets and visited here because it had good reviews. I can't say enough about this place: service, price and quality. There was absolutely no wait to be seen, the facilities were immaculate and clean, the vet (Dr. Freid) was super friendly and spent a great deal of time with me going over my kitty's issues. And on top of everything, this place probably charge me half of what my old vet would have. Friendly staff all around, would highly recommend!!!

Everyone is so friendly and just loves our pup. They get us in quickly and the new app is a great addition! Here she is being silly after getting home from her vaccine appointment

We went here for the last five years and left in this practice in 2022 and kept saying after three years that we needed to find another place .. the Doctor is GREAT..the staff at the time we went is not .. they can be very rude and short when you call. Not just one or two times... regularly when we called. We changed veterinarians to Howell Animal hospital, where in one visit the Dr. was able to help our dogs in other ways than just a routine check where little to no other options / advice was provided. At one time there was another vet there besides the owner who never ever ever looked at you... they talked to the floor or wall or otherwise... not good at all when you're dealing with people everyday... Horrible experience I believe there's a reason why you see 15% off new patients on the sign almost all the time. *** update after owner replied below... FIRST, I didn't "repost a review" I don't even know if that's possible... what I did do is remove a portion of it and that must of updated the date we went there. I didn't " ridicule anyone. I expressed the experience in which and how I was treated AT THE TIME I WAS PRESENT by both the staff when I called and was there present in - person multiple times, as noted and how I had an experienced with someone that LITERALLY never looked at me at all during the ENTIRE time I was in the room. Again, not ridicule but facts and the experience... IF THINGS HAVE CHANGED, THAT'S WONDERFUL and WISH YOU ALL THE BEST ... Reviews are meant to be for others to see what you experienced during your time in an establishment.... I try to find the positive in the negative and that was the owner... with over 40 million views of my total reviews now, ONLY a few even have ANY negative things in them and less than 10 of all my reviews are a one star. Initially - your review was a 5 STAR WHEN I FIRST WENT. THEN I CHANGED IT after the experiences I had. I wish you the very best in your business and all the animals you and your practice will see and help.

I started taking my puppy here recently and have had a great experience every time! The staff and Dr. Freid have made sure to take good care of my puppy! I would recommend this vet to anyone.
