We moved to the area and had heard horror stories about trying to find a new vet BUT Janine was marvelous when I called because our 12.5 year old dog Bentley was having issues. They got him in and had his records transferred from his previous vet and they did all this in five business days. They are friendly, knowledgeable and take the time to ensure you have all the information you need to make the proper decisions for your pets well being. They really care about your furry family member and that helps put your mind at ease knowing they are in loving hands. They follow C-19 protocols by having you bring your pet to the door, one customer at a time. Thank you all so very much.

Imagine getting FIRED for being abrupt when questioning price and quote changes? Complaining about lack of communication and told my expectations of Service wasn't something they could continue to offer. I wasn't given an opportunity to discuss with the Owner, sent a registered Letter to both myself and husband (who never attends, on occasion to help me, I own my Purebred Show Dogs) until I finally got the Owner to answer her cell phone (been with them for over 10 yrs) and she wasn't changing her mind. She was protecting her Staff's mental health and wellness?? A Staff claims I was yelling? I advised calling on a cell phone from a vehicle with my voice raised because of over 4 miscommunications in one visit, lack of service for being charged something unexpected above a quote in one visit was not acceptable. Being nickeled and dimed each time prices getting higher and told I should have known to ask ahead of time for something I hadn't been charged for before i.e. email an x-ray to me, now charged for? I had a Good repor with the Office Mngr and was able to complain about all the miscommunications the next day and it was fine. Then I get "THE LETTER" I was insulted, offended and thought I had the right to complain. Guess not? Apparently, I have been abrupt before? Well I have been with the same sort of complaints? Price differences between quotes and actual, it wasn't their first offence, nor was it mine. So I was convicted and sentenced to Leave and pursue another Vet? And away I go......Gentler and Kinder Vet Service = means Don't complain and open up your wallet :(
