My ratings rules (for physicians, clinics, veterinarians, etc.):One star for cleanliness/orderliness.One star for courteous/friendly staff.One star for minimal waiting/response time.One star for knowledgeability.One star for sensitivity to needs.Cost: Less than $40 for a standard office visit (meds and treatments excluded).Special perks: Patient table which allows your pet to step on it from the ground, and lifts up (prevents need for lifting your heavy pet onto the table); digital vetscope (a monitor that lets you see what the vet is seeing when using something like an otoscope, or a scope viewing the inner ear); emergency services; pain management; suite boarding as well as indoor/outdoor kennels. Being new to the area and not knowing anyone to refer me to a good veterinarian, I had to just jump the gun and choose one. I'm glad I selected these folks. They are close to where I live, and I was impressed with the infinite number of services they offer. Those services are so numerous that I couldn't possibly list them all here, so it's better to peruse their website if you're interested.We saw Dr. Sidel, who was very friendly, amusing and helpful. He was very kind and gentle toward our dog, which wins serious points. He also appeared to be very knowledgeable, but this was a standard puppy exam (we had just adopted a rescue pup) so I can't say that with too much authority.The facility is very clean and we didn't have to wait very long to be seen. Because they offer services such as pain management and "behavioral medicine", it appears that they are sensitive to the needs of your pet(s).I've not yet tried their boarding service, but I plan to in the future. I'm also not yet sure what the charge is on boarding, but a simple call would answer that. What they do offer though are suite rooms with TV's and beds (which can be viewed at their website), as well as your standard indoor/outdoor kennel. The kennels are double fenced, for safety - a big requirement. All in all I was very pleased and definitely plan on using them exclusively. My senior dog is scheduled for an appointment on 2/16 and I'll update this review if needed. Read Less
