Preventive care

I love Amberwood. Dr. Buchard, Dr. Smith and the entire team are wonderful. I've been bringing all of my fur babies for 18+ years-through those years they have taken care of our 2 rabbit, 3 dogs and our 19 year old cat. I am grateful for all they have done and educated me on any questions or concerns that have come up. Congratulations Dr. Burchard on your retirement, it is well deserved!

Great and thorough care, great staff, communicative Doctor (Dr. Smith). This is the best vet clinic I have been to in the area and will make this the home office of my two Sphynx cats and any future animal companion I have. Thanks for the care!

I do love taking my cats there when they truly need the service, however, I haven't been to a vet in many years. I found their charges way higher than I had expected. The techs and doctor are wonderful. I am not sure he actually checked her anal glands as was discussed when I arrived, but I had an issue with my computer downloading the receipt so I could read the outcome. I have to stop in to visit to retrieve it since my computer did not recognize the program, they use to email receipts. I definitely give them high ratings to spite the higher-than-expected pricing and not knowing what the doctor really checked on with my cat, other than checking and finding a smaller bladder, explaining her frequent litter visits. I suppose the anal glans were ok, until i check the receipt to see what is actually posted to her file. I will stick to this vet regardless of the outcome. I am sure if they did not examine as was needed, they will make it good for my cat.

I’m NOT happy with this vet place. my cat went there because he haven’t been eating, no poop, have lost lot wait and he left there without a diagnosis. They said there was nothing wrong with him that he probably ate something and he having a hard time passing through. I called 3 times to check on the blood work the receptionist said they put a note and that the dr usually stop appointment at 5:30 to call to follow up with results and they never did. After almost spending $500 that is how he treat the pet and their owner. Five days later and my cat still not eating, haven’t poop . I should just have take him to his original dr PENDER vet. They are the best, open all week including weekends, call to check on the pet and on the owner. I don’t know where the good reviews are coming from but my experience with them was not good at all.
