Preventive care

Yesterday, the amazing folks who work here saved my beloved Bertha's life. They identified and corrected an exceedingly rare health issue during exploratory surgery, and now my beagle is on the road to recovery. I did not think she would survive to the end of the day before I brought her here. Also, they charged less than half of what the other veterinary hospital wanted to charge me. From now on, I'll be taking my dogs here. They are incredible.

They were great. I went in there at 2am to see if a dog I found was chipped. Building used to be PetCo.

Actually, 10 stars would be close to an accurate rating. My sweet dog, Sammy, passed away 2 days ago. He was one month shy of 15 years old. Dr. B and his wonderful staff cared for Sammy since he was brought home at 6 weeks old. Throughout the years he was healthy and was given thorough well visits. In that few years, he developed a heart condition that required monitoring. Dr. B did the appropriate testing required and prescribed the necessary medications. Throughout the really difficult times, the office was ALWAYS there to help. The KNOWLEDGEABLE, loving staff and Dr. B. treated Sammy as their own. You can NEVER find a more competent and compassionate group of people to care for your special "person ""!!!!.

I can't say enough good things about Dr. B and his staff. They're so caring and thorough - Dr. B doesn't rest until he figures out what's wrong/what a best treatment course could be. He's taken incredible care of our 3 dogs - and, coincidentally, each had a health crisis over the last few years. It brought me comfort knowing they were in good hands. He also handled not just my cat but me with compassion and care when we had to put her down a few years ago. But it's not just Dr. B -- part of why they're so wonderful is his incredible staff. Lucy, one of the receptionists, loves every pet that comes in and will do anything to make sure you're taken care of. Nicole too. She has no problem going out of her way if you need something like records sent asap or something like that. Totally on the ball at all times. Ask for either of them when you call. Jay, the vet tech, is awesome too -- he may as well be a full vet how informed he is being a professional in this field for however many years. I trust his opinion implicitly. The other vet tech, Crystal has such a caring heart, she magically calms our high-strung dogs easily when we arrive. At the end of the day the impact is all about teamwork and Dr. B, with one exception, has built what I believe to be the best veterinary team in the area. Listen - the office is really outdated - but don't let that influence your opinion - and -- full transparency -- they're more expensive than other vets. Thank goodness for pet insurance. But it's because Dr. B is so thorough. If one vet would order a test, Dr. B would order 10. He leaves no stone unturned and is an absolute veterinary expert. I'm so glad we found them when we. moved to the area.

My family and I have been bringing pets to Dr.B for many years. He works so hard and cares deeply for animals. I recently got a new puppy which requires a lot of vet visits for vaccinations and she’s scheduled for a spay tomorrow. He and his wonderful team have been so informative and available for follow up appointments. My puppy is always excited to see them.
