Located on the main road in Cle Elum, Cascade is a small animal veterinary clinic with easy access, parking, and ramp entry into the building. Check-in is done outside at a small window to the receptionist. This prevents overcrowding in the small waiting room inside. Staff is superb! Friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and helpful.

I had high hopes for my visit to this clinic with my 12 week old puppy. The receptionist was very kind and helpful both on the phone and in person. She also went out of her way to come over and interact with my pup while we waited for the vet asst. who was also friendly. I was less impressed with the cleanliness of the room that we were put in and the "bedside manner" of the vet. The first thing I noticed when I went to put my pup on the scale with the vet asst. was that it was not very clean. I sat down while waiting for the vet to enter the room, and observed that the entire floor was covered in various types of dog fur suggesting that the room had not been swept or cleaned in between patient visits before we were ushered in. Since my pup had only been with us for about 10 days prior to this visit, she was pretty scared of all the new people/sights/sound/smells so she was pretty sheepish during the entire visit. When Dr. Rizor did enter the room, there was very little interaction with me or my pup, don't remember there being any sort of introduction or anything like that, he just waited for the pup to be placed on the table, did a brief wellness exam and that was that. Over the years with past family dogs, I have visited many different vets in a few different states and each have always tried to interact with the dog on a more personable level before starting the exam so this visit was quite off putting to me. My concerns about the cleanliness along with the seemingly uninterested vet made me decide to look elsewhere for future vet needs.
