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 facility is aesthetically pleasing and comfortable. The front desk staff was very friendly. From beginning to end of visit Dr. Herrold and the clinical staff took great care of my pet dog Rex and were very warm, welcoming and respectful to me and my husband and calmed our fears. Mark explained what to expect during the visit and was very nice, respectful and professional. Dr. Herrold spent quite a bit of time explaining the results of Rex exam and answered all our questions and at no time did we feel rushed, she is very nice, patient, respectful and professional. I only have positive and great things to say about the practice staff! You are definitely in great hands there.

Dr. Carlson is an excellent doctor.  My dog had PDA occlusion surgery.  It was more complicated than anticipated.  Taking 4 hours instead of 2 hours.  The surgery was a success.  Dr.  Carlson kept us updated throughout the process.  Day before, day of (several times), day after, etc.  He is very caring and responsive.  I have not had experience with a doctor who contacts me directly as Dr. Carlson does.  We are very lucky to have him. The surgical facility is very impressive and all the associates very caring and professional.

Everyone was extremely pleasant. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted warmly at the reception desk. The vet techs and assistants are true animal lovers and so sweet. Everyone was professional and kind. Dr. Carlson is amazing, knowledgeable and relatable, with a wonderful, caring disposition. He takes the time to make sure all of your concerns are addressed and that you understand the information being shared with you. Having to go through any health issues with your pet is extremely stressful and worrying and he certainly eased the process. I would undoubtedly recommend anyone who finds themselves in need of a cardiologist for their pet to come here.
