Dr. Pat is one of the most caring and sincere veterinarian's I have ever met. We have a corgi who was just not acting himself. We were nervous being that he is getting up there in age. However, Dr. Pat reassured us that he would be fine and with some medicine and new diet Cinnamon is back to his normal crazy self.

Dr. Pat is one of the best!! I’ve had many pleasurable experiences with him and he’s taken great care of all of my dogs! We are so thankful for the care that he puts into each pet and how thorough he is on exams.

I absolutely love this office and Dr. Pat! Dr. Pat has excellent recommendations and was always cautious with my pup especially on the first visit. We bought my puppy in long island and the office was associated with the store. Dr. Pat was sure to fill me in about what to expect and gave me all the information and answered any questions I had. It was also my first puppy in a different breed that I was not familiar with and he gave me some more information about the breed so that I could better understand. The office staff are great and i’m sure extremely overwhelmed with the amount of patients they see in a day so wait times are sometimes long but it is totally worth it. Getting a dog and maintaining it is a bit stressful and of course another added expense but that comes with the territory and being a pet owner. Thank you to Dr. Pat and all the staff who have been so amazing! Simba and I truly appreciate it!!

Today we took Charley to see Dr. Pat as recommended by other friends. He approached Charley with such care and compassion. Charley was all over Dr. Pat and quickly took a BIG liking to him. I was at ease to see this relationship unfold as I am probably one of the biggest neurotic dog owners. Dr. Pat was extremely thorough with the exam and had an advanced stethescope that was able to pick up Charley’s heart murmur. Dr. Pat even went the extra step in having me take a good listen to Charley’s heart. This made me confident in knowing what he said was not only true but most importantly trusting him with my little love indefinitly. I would also like to extend my gratitude to the staff at Animal Wellness. Thank you Dr. Pat!! I look forward in keeping Charley healthy and happy with you as our Doctor🩵 🐾
