I highly recommend this animal hospital. First, my sweet pup needed some care. She was having teeth issues. No question asked, bring her right in. Second. The staff was amazing. Check-in reception was friendly and helpful. When it was our turn. A technician took us with the dog to the exam room. We explained our concerns. Third. The doctor checked out my little girl and set up an excellent care plan. From start to finish, we were treated with respect . I also want to say that all costs were presented and I feel were not unreasonable and expensive. I also want to add that the office was very clean with fun music playing.

Wonderful new vet in the area, kind and caring staff all around. They have a nice, welcoming and clean facility. Our dog recently started having medical issues and our regular vet was unable to see him. We found Island Animal Hospital and went to their urgent care to get him looked at. Dr Faltin and her staff were really nice and worked through various tests and diagnostics to figure out what was wrong with him. Our dog is usually shy and anxious at the vet and they worked with him really well. When we came back with recommendations from a second opinion she worked with us to try different meds that helped our dog. Will be coming back here for regular vet checkups after they launch! P.S. they also have dedicated parking spots in the garage under the building.

My dog had an accident and started limping. I went in first thing in the morning. This was our first visit here. The waiting area is very spacious, clean, and new! The staffs were very friendly and informative. The vet was very professional and friendly as well. Based on the discharge form I got, it contained all the details we discussed, which helped me reassured that my dog is in good hands. BONUS: There was a small opening underneath the bench inside the doctor's office for puppies or kittens to hide, which I like very much. But unfortunately my dog doesn't fit inside the bench.

Dr. Larson is awesome! She really cares for our pet and us. Our lab had a surgery at a different hospital and developed some post operation complications. We brought our dog to the Island Animal Hospital. Dr. Larson listened carefully of our concerns, examed the lab carefully and provided effective treatment. She asked us to email her a photo of the area of concern everyday and provided advices and encouragement. We are so grateful for having such a great facility and wonderful doctors near us. Thank you Dr. Larson and the Island Animal Hospital team!
