It never fails, Friday evening you child or pet needs a doctor. Friday we showed up 15 minutes before they closed. Then one by one the waiting room filled up. The staff was polite and compassionate. Every animal brought it was tended to and set to make it through the weekend. No one was rushed no one was turned away. The price was totally reasonable. My kitty was a 100% by Sunday. I recommend!

Dr. Broome and all the staff are great. Dr. Broome has taken care of all my pets. I moved here in 2012. I love that she cares and will respond to emergencies . For example, I sent a picture of my dogs ear that was inflamed she texted back saying come by and pick up meds. This saved me an office visit. My dog has allergies and is prone to yeast infections. I would highly recommend her to anyone, and I do.

Dr Broome has treated all my pets since I was a kid. She is honest, reliable, and works with those who can't afford high bills. I refer everyone to her bc she is just that AWESOME. I've never had an issue & if I did she handle it quickly. I made sure I & my family were able to spend time with my Chaos bf I let him cross the 🌈 🌉. She has handle 3 other pets crossings for my family with compassion. There are so many things I ❤ about doc.

I was shocked at the lack of care from this establishment. I brought a feral cat for a complete workup. All they did was fix it. When I brought up this issue I was met with 'contrary rhetoric' saying that I should have talked to the receptionist. I explained that I did, several times, and was rebuffed every time. There's a very small chance I could ever trap that feral cat again. The North wall of the waiting area is completely covered with signs disparaging males. I'm sure this bitter old apathetic veterinarian thinks that they are very funny. Is this why I and the male cat got such horrid treatment?
