Absolutely excellent. I have been bringing my three dogs to Dr. Minder for the last 5 years, and he and his staff are the pinnacle of professionalism and compassion. I have used other vets, and they pale in comparison to Dr. Minder and his staff, in terms of their combination of overall knowledge of animals, their ability to interact with the animals, and their ability to treat me and my wife as valued customers. They always have a positive and caring attitude, and listen to us and address all our questions and concerns while being respectful of other customer's needs. Like any veterinarian, vet services are just simply expensive. Grace is no exception to that general rule. With vet services, the saying "you get what you pay for" couldn't be any more true. I've gone to inexpensive vets who tended to be rushed, rude, and generally uncaring. I've also seen (but never been to) vet offices that go way beyond what owners actually need (in my opinion) offering all kinds of impractical diagnostic services that are extremely expensive, and then guilting owners to get them to financing a $2,000 procedure, when it is clearly best to just make the dog comfortable and let him pass away naturally. I've observed that Grace falls right into the middle of this, and they have always been reasonable about costs they charge me; I've never felt nickel and dimed. When our dog got sick and was nearing toward her end, Dr. Minder thoroughly went through all the options of her treatment, the risks, the financial cost of the different options, and the various alternatives we could pursue. When we chose to make her comfortable and "see how it goes," he didn't judge us in any way, and supported our decision. He and his staff did a great job comforting us when we needed it, and when our dog finally passed away, they were very compassionate and courteous. Overall, Dr. Minder and Grace Veterinary Clinic is probably the best professional services providers I've worked with, including medical doctors, attorneys, financial planners, etc. His balanced approach of being caring and compassionate while still being professional and having encyclopedic clinical knowledge of animals has always impressed me every time I've interacted with him. I will certainly continue to use him and definitely recommend him to anyone with an animal who is looking for vet services. Truly worthy of 5 stars. Read Less
