Horrible experience when I put my dog to sleep. You can not trust this clinic They told me the euthanasia price over the phone as a reasonable price than mobile home service for medium size dog. When we got there, they charged $200.00 dollars more. I paid $600.00 total If I knew earlier, I wouldn't go there If you want to use the service with this clinic, Make sure u hear the price from dr. Jurek not the secretary. You will get totally different story there. So be careful this clinic might ruin your last moment with your dog. Read Less

About a year ago my beautiful 14 year old pug, Leo, started having some health issues. I took him to 2 different vets prior to bringing him to Dr Rostowski, they both suggested Leo to be put down, without even trying to help him. I was not ready to let him go nor did he want to leave. Since i lived near by my mom suggested i try Tower Dr Animal clinic. Thank God i did! Leo, due to his age does have some health issues, and Dr Rostowski has been monitoring him, providing options, appropriate medication and ALWAYS makes himself available for an animal in need. I cannot Thank him enough for everything he has done for us and especially for making my little Leo comfortable and much more happier. He is an extremely knowledgeable Vet and most of all has empathy and compassion. I have read some reviews below regarding the financial aspect, unfortunately without doing the appropriate tests, Dr Rostowski cannot determine the underlying issue of our dearest friends. We have to be prepared to spend the money and be open about it so we can give him the opportunity to save our pets life. For the year that i have been going to Tower Dr Animal clinic i have had to do some tests for Leo that were on the expensive side, however Dr Rostowski also gave me the alternatives if i could not afford the tests recommended. I HIGHLY recommend this clinic (Dr and the wonderful staff) as i already have to all my friends and family. Thank you Dr Rostowski, Elena, Grace and Veronica for everything you do for us! Read Less

It's very rare to have exotic vets around... He takes care of all of my Hedgehogs and my huskies as well. Very caring man. He gives you options as well recommendations as to what the next step of the problem or solution would be and he doesn't charge enormous prices which obviously helps tremendously. Read Less

Considering my Yellow Shouldered amazon is a pain to deal with (trying to bite the vet hard as he tried to clip her nails), and makes a run for the door as soon as we walk in, I have to say I am glad to take her here.

Saved my sweet bunny's life! My family took our rabbit here when I was a child, which was many years ago. This past summer, my parents were taking care of my two rabbits while I was out of town when one of them got suddenly very sick. The vet took great care of her and gave my parents great instructions on nursing her back to health - and they also were happy to consult with them on the phone after the visit to ensure she was progressing as expected. Thank you!! This clinic will now be my permanent clinic for both of my rabbits :) Read Less

I 100% agree with Henry H. I had 3 animals serviced by that clinic over a span of 3-5 years. Every animals health declined once being under the care of this clinic. They seem to be a temporary training ground for travelling vets, none stay longer than 3 years. They recommend expensive speculative solutions that don't solve the problem and in some cases made it worse. They absolutely play on your emotions. ALL 3 OF MY ANIMALS ARE NOW DEAD BEFORE THEIR TIME (one cat, two dogs). I have had many other animals so I feel I am very qualified to comment. Hopefully this helps someone, take this warning very seriously - stay away from Tower Drive Animal Vet. Read Less
