By far the most caring and lovely vet you could ask for, for a pet / family member. She goes far out of her way to assist when you are having the worst issues with a pet. Beyond amazing lady and I am thankful I have her as our Veterinarian.

I drove almost three hours to get my guinea pig neutered here and it was worth every minute. I wanted to ensure that my piggie was seen by someone experienced and also wasn't too expensive- it was $125 for the whole procedure- and it looks amazing. I don't even see the incision and he's acting completely normal, eating, drinking, pooping, etc. I'm super thrilled and grateful ♡

Warm and friendly staff. Always answers all questions completely. And she will go the extra mile to help her patients. Hands downs I can't praise them enough. Top notch.

I don't know why this place is labeled as an emergency animal hospital. I am a local real estate agent who found 2 very emaciated kittens left behind in a home where the previous occupants had been evicted. You could literally feel every bone in their body. I took them home for the night tried to give them food and water. I had found out from a relative of that family that the other 2 cats had seen this vet and been placed at an animal sanctuary and so I was told to bring them there to be seen and then the cats could go to the sanctuary. I arrived and there were no other clients in the building. The staff was chatting behind the desk and did not acknowledge me until I made it to the desk. The girl sitting closest to me at what appeared to be a reception desk, oddly, would not make eye contact with me or acknowledge that I was standing in front of her. Weird, but ok. A white haired woman who had her back to me turned around and greeted me. I advised I did not have an appointment but that it was an emergency situation. I had 2 very emaciated cats that I took from a vacant home that needed assistance right away, likely an IV in the least. She asked if I had called the humane society yet and I said no, they need care now and advised that I would pay for it. She then proceeded to tell me there are "procedures in place for situations like this" which I do not doubt however, at this point in time, these cats were in a bad way and they needed immediate medical attention. I started to explain the other family member (who was a client ) told me to bring them and he would pay etc, however I was not counting on that and I would take care of it because they need help now. She said "we don't work like other practices. We are not accepting new patients" All the while this is going on, this woman never stepped foot from around the desk to even take a peek into the pet carrier they were in. She very clearly DID NOT CARE ONE BIT. I picked up the cats and walked out to head to my own vet and mentioned on the way out the door that I would be posting a review. I put them in the car and pulled out of the parking lot at which time as I was pulling on to the street the white haired woman emerged from the front door looked at me then went back inside. I've owned animals my entire life. I have encountered many veterinarians and some may have poor bedside manner or whatever but I've never witnessed such a lack of care or concern in a medical practice. I took them to my vet down the road (Monhagen Veterinary) who was jam packed with clients but graciously took us in no questions asked. They even thanked me for what I was doing, even though no thanks was needed. I would highly recommend taking your pets to see a vet who actually give a hoot about the welfare of animals.

I want to thank Dr Roeder and her staff for being so compassionate when we had to put our very old cat to sleep. She fit us in during a busy day so that Mari didn’t suffer any longer. Can’t thank you enough The Bachyrycz Family
