The office I bit dated, but it's quick to overlook by the service and care by Dr. Brian Rose and his staff. The professionalism, care & love they put into your appointment is outstanding. They all treat your pet as if it was their own. My Great Dane, unfortunately, didn't go in for a well visit, and it was his first visit to Jefferson Animal Hospital, and I will continue to go until it's time to put my boy to rest. Dr. Rose couldn't be more empathetic and knowledgeable to make him as comfortable as possible until that time comes. I definitely found a new veterinarian.

Very caring and patient. Super thorough. Dr Brian treated my bird with such loving care to keep her as calm and comfortable as possible. Took his time with her and explained everything to us

I’ve been using Jefferson Animal Hospital for about a year now and I’m sure glad I made the switch. Dr. Jeff and Dr. Brian are the most caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable Vets I’ve ever used. They spend so much time with their patients going over every inch of them so they can make a proper diagnosis. There’s no rushing here and my animals are always put at ease by the Vets and the wonderful Vet techs. I’ve brought my dogs (many), cats, bunny, and even my chickens and each one got amazing care. The whole staff at Jefferson are devoted, caring individuals and I’m thankful my animals and I have found the perfect place for us.

My family has been bringing all of our animals here for well over a decade. The team at Jefferson Animal Hospital is truly one of the most calm, kind and empathetic teams I've ever worked with. Both Dr. Brian and Dr. Jeffrey take their time during evaluations and always give various options/plans if testing/procedures need to be done. They explain in depth, and passionately, about what is going on with your pet and happily answer questions. To have vets that educate you as a pet owner is invaluable.This practice truly is a gem and I'm so grateful to bring my pets to such a loving space. They have treated our rabbits and dogs for everything from routine exams to serious cases of trauma. If I could sum the practice up in two words it would be compassionate and empowering. Thank you Rose brothers!

I recently made the switch and started using Dr Brian as my dogs primary care vet after reading the hundreds of positive reviews about this place. I’m so happy I did and I wish I did it sooner. My dog is 9 years old, a very nervous hound mix and particularly uneasy with men. The second he met Dr Brian he immediately gravitated towards him, he loved him and that showed me all I needed to know. Thank you Dr Brian and Erica for your love and care for Copper! 🤍
