Dr. Allen and the staff are the best. I have a 17 year old Pomeranian. I haven't been there in over 8 years because she has been in great health. Today, I had what I thought was an emergency, and the wonderful girl that answered the phone was able to squeeze me in. Dr. Allen took care of my girl and she is already doing 100% better. I love how he explains everything and the vet tech listened to all my concerns with the utmost sincerity. You guys are a blessing. I would recommend him to anybody, he really is a top vet and a wonderful person. Thanks so much. Storm says thank you too!!

I have never in my 50 years on this earth seen a veterinarian plaster on their business the most vile political signs as I experienced at this vet. Supporting a terrible person that is spreading lies that dogs and cats are being eaten in Ohio is a huge red flag. So many other options than this veterinarian to take your animals to!

Dr. Allen's staff can not be more friendlier. They were very gentle with our 13 yr old inside cat. Thank you for all your care and kindness.

I called them because they were closer to where we originally went for our rats. (Barberton) They both have a mild respiratory infection and I effed up their medication. I needed more, and thought they could help. The whole vibe of this place was off, beginning with my first phone call to them. The girl on the phone was very rude and acted like I was a giant bother to her life. This should have been my first red flag. I continued with my appointment anyway. More bad vibes when I got there. Girl at the front desk was also rude. Does everyone just hate working there or what?? Dr. Allen had the weirdest, abrasive attitude towards me and the rats. One of the girls taking the rat's weights was asking me why I was there with them(which I told them on the phone), and then proceeded to talk over me and not listen to my answer. Dr. Allen basically told me they were completely fine and didn't need medicine. I just needed to get a humidifier and not spray any perfumes or have any plug ins or anything that would affect their sense of smell. Sooo, who's lying?? The first vet we went to that said they had a respiratory infection? Or the people with the weird vibes? And then he mentioned my tattoos and said they cause lymphoma. Like...?? Even if they do, idgaf. That is not why I'm here. Like, literally none of your business. And then I had to pay $60 for them to barely examine them and tell me they're completely fine. Terrible doesn't even begin to cover my experience there. 0 stars. Do not recommend. (I will say there was ONE girl there who was super nice. She gave my babies some crackers.)
