I've been to many vets in many states, and Dr. Beatie is my favorite. He's not an alarmist, tells it to you straight, and doesn't feed you the most dreaded of all vet lines, "We aren't sure what's wrong, we'll have to keep your pet overnight and run several tests and go to town on your wallet." No fuss, no muss, no drama. I arrived as a walk-in with my cat who had a terrible gash on his leg from a fight, the wound was weeping and the flesh was turning black, causing me to fear the worst - gangrene/amputation. I strongly feel any other vet I've dealt with in the past would've scared me half to death playing into my fears and taken full advantage of my concern, doing a lot of unnecessary work, causing unwarranted anxiety to my cat, and killing my bank account. Beatie simply purged and cleaned the wound, assured me the black parts would eventually fall off like a scab, and sent me home with antibiotics, kitty came home with me that same day, all under $100.00. The staff was amicable, the wait was nothing, even though I was a walk-in and was told I'd have to wait for him to finish with another patient, I was in and out quickly. Most inexpensive, simple vet visit I ever had. Yay, Beatie! For the record, after reading the other review (written by someone who didn't even go into the place), yes, the building isn't pretty. Sooo, if what you're looking for is a glamorous office with a fancy façade, then you're out of luck. But if you can get past the superficial layer and actually go inside for, you know, help with your pet, then you'll be fine. The interior is clean and well-kept, it looks just like any other vet office I've been to in any other part of the country. In other words, it's what's inside that counts. Thanks, y'all!!! We'll always come to you when our pets need help! Read Less
