My dog, Devo, and I had a great experience at Good Vets! This was my first time bringing him to a vet after adopting him, so I didn’t know what to expect, but they knocked it out of the park. From the moment we walked through the door, everyone was not only incredibly kind, but super happy to see my pup! I can tell the ladies here really enjoy their work, and it does wonders on making the experience more comfortable for mom and dog! The waiting room is cozy and clean, and the exam was super quick and affordable, even with a few vaccines being administered. Parking is so easy, and my dog left with some new friends and a belly full of treats:) I will definitely continue to come back for all of his heath needs, and I recommend others do the same with their pets!

This was my first visit to Good Vets. I had a lovely experience. The staff was really kind, patient, and answered all my questions. I was worried about the location being in the gulch with parking, but it was not an issue. There is a gravel lot sort of to the side/behind the building that they can validate for 1 hour. I appreciated the kindness and patience of the staff most. I didn't feel like I was being rushed out. They even helped trim some of my little buddy’s mattes while we waiting for his skin to clear up a bit to get his vaccines updated for a real groom.

Having been to multiple vets all over the country, I will never stray away from GoodVets! This is the first clinic where I have noticed my pet has been treated with comprehensive care, especially a thorough exam. So obvious that both the vet and staff genuinely care!!!

The whole team is extremely accommodating and cares so much about their work. I feel so comfortable leaving my dog with them and know they will do everything they can to make him feel comfortable and loved. They are always so nice when I call them (all of the time) to ask questions and get back to me so quickly. When I bring my dog in he is so excited to see everyone! I don’t have enough good things to say about this vet. When my dog got sick I was so scared and worried for him but with this team I know he’s in the best hands possible and they will do whatever they can to help him. They even vouched for me with the shelter I adopted him from to help with payment for his treatment. Along with this they let me come in before opening to drop him off for treatment so I wouldn’t be late for work. The staff here are the most friendly, sweet, and loving people I have met! Thank you for taking such good care of Crouton :)

Everyone is so friendly and sweet when I bring my kitty in. I know she is well taken care of, she is never stressed at our vet. Great communication always with Dr. Siegfried and her team!
