How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Bayleaf Veterinary Hospital

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

The perfect pair: Dr. Florian and Christine (vet tech) have been responsible for the veterinary care of my cats and have established a caring relationship with all of them; in the forefront of my mind is my one-eyed fur baby who they cared for till the end. Christine took her blood many times to check her thyroid levels all by herself. She was very professional, she knows animals. My cat was a talker, a bit of a grump, but not mean spirited and Christine knew this and worked with her to calm down and give her a moment. It worked out beautifully. If I had a question, I called and asked for Christine. When necessary, she checked with Dr. Florian and gave feedback. They represent what I have come to know is the culture of Bayleaf. The first time I met Dr. Florian he talked to me and just petted my fur baby while we chatted before examining her. I mentioned to him that he had just volunteered to be my vet! I recently had to face an event that is traumatizing to true lovers of cats, the heart wrenching decision to put her to sleep. Christine scheduled my appointment at the end of the appointments for that day. It was heartbreaking; but Dr. Florian and Christine worked with me so that my fur baby did not leave my side. I was able to tell her I loved her up until the end. I miss my one-eyed fur baby, but I will never forget how compassionate and caring Christine and Dr. Florian were at that moment. They even sent me a sympathy card (the only card I received). I have always loved Bayleaf! I have been going to Bayleaf for a very long time. Back in the day Dr. Wilson was my contact for my diabetic kitty (she lived to be 17, 10 years as a diabetic) and her sister.

We cannot say enough great things about Dr. Umberger. Our girl can be fearful and anxious about vet care, but Dr. Umberger was so patient with her and we had our best vet experience ever because of it. We will be bringing our pup back to Bayleaf for sure!

Great vets and staff. Recently had my cavapoo neutered. Went very well. Doc called me immediately after to say it went well. Came home with no issues. Fair fees and they do not push extra costs.

I have been going to Bayleaf for about 20 years. The front office staff is always very helpful, friendly and professional. All the vets I’ve seen over the years have been caring and knowledgeable. They can always seem to fit me in when my dogs need to be seen right away and are always willing to call back to answer any questions about my dogs. Highly recommend!

They have always been great to my pets. Making my pets comfortable and explain everything. I wouldn’t recommend anyone more than them. Dr. Florian is very patient. Ryan is also a great tech. They even have convenient hours.
