Daisy Mae says “Thank you so much for the special care given on my first visit. I am up to date on my vaccinations now, parasite free and on the road to recovery. My new mommy and dad rescued me after being found living in the woods for months. I am adjusting very well to my new home and we are all glad that you were a part of my new life!!!” Much love ❤️ Daisy Mae

Thank you Dr. Katie and the girls in front for being so kind and helpful to me and my Poppy. I just moved here from out of state and they were so welcoming. Made a not so good situation into a great experience. Thank you for taking care of us! Happy we now have a wonderful vet office to take our pups to.

my dog has had diarrhea for a couple day. ( no emergency) but dog won’t eat and is very listless. I called this vet which I bring both of my dogs to. Asked if he could be seen. (Anytime) was told not until Tuesday. I said it’s an emergency, I’m afraid he won’t make it til Tuesday more less tomorrow. She said oh well ( her name is sandy ) no walk ins only one doctor. I adviser her he was pretty sick. She said go to an emergency vet. I advised her she was totally rude and I would not be coming back there. She said fine. Wow

The veterinarian was great but the women in the front was not. Had finished and already paid when she took my cats and forced an unnecessary vaccine on us even though it was clear we were not okay with it. They are 12 yrs old and she pushed a vaccine for kittens and got another 40 bucks out of us. Feel hussled by pharmaceutical rep. Not cool. I was very clear from the beginning that I wanted them to be able to go outside to lose weight and the tech nor the doctor mentioned this extra vaccine but the women who works reception knows better then the doctor and vet tech? And the way she just took my animals and disregarded our protest was violating and uncalled for. And it was terriblethe way she put the extra stress on my animals, yanking them out of their carriers too. Veterinarian really was awesome through but the way that women behaved left a very bad taste in our mouths.

Dr. Rericha and staff we're very kind and helpful during a very busy holiday weekend. They were walk-in only so have to be patient but while waiting, seeing the Dr. come out and sit on the floor to check another dogs bandages and talk and calm him down was very genuine.
