A very caring and knowledgeable vet who doesn't pressure customers to buy products or services that aren't needed. Quite a difference from other vets in the area.

Fort Russell Vet Services are amazing. Everyone there genuinely care about your animals and your feelings. The vet Mike is a really nice guy, does not mind answering your questions and explains all procedures. His prices are more than fair, and you can call him directly after hours if needed. I would recommend them to everyone. Read Less

Great Dr and staff. They truly care about the animals and not about the money!. I have been to many vets and these guys are the best. My father was a veternarian and it reminds me of my dad's practice. No guilting you into unnecessary tests and expenses like many other clinics in the area. Great care given to all of my animals every time I have need anything! Read Less

Mike is a great vet. I have always brought my dogs there and they are about half the price of others. I think he truly cares about animals.

Dr. Michael Firsching at Fort Russell - big NO. It is my contention that Dr. F. misdiagnosed my cat's bald-spot leg fungal infection, Dr. F. stating that the cat would stop his obsessive licking behavior if I put chili powder on his leg wound. This remedy only exacerbated the problem, the licking increased and the spot got bigger. I purchased over-the-counter fungal cream which worked very well, my cat stopped licking the wound and the fur had a chance to grow back- I suspect because the bald spot/infection was finally treated appropriately. The staff were nice, but I would prefer positives outcomes over niceties. Read Less

GREAT place to bring your animals. Estelle is great, and Dr. Firsching, is an obvious lover of animals and is gentle with them. I could not have asked for anything more.

We have been taking our pets to Fort Russell for over twenty years now. We have never had a problem. Mike & his staff are always very friendly & genuinely care for our pets. He has cared for our goats, horses, cats, dogs, birds, & hamsters. He often has lower prices when compared to other area vets. He will not try to talk you into any extras either. In fact, he called me while my dog was getting dental work done to make sure I wanted certain elective things done. They even held my dog afterwards instead of kenneling her because she was whimpering. (She always whines when away from home though! It had nothing to do with the vet visit.)I would never hesitate to recommend this vet to anyone! Again, great services, friendly people, more than reasonable prices, and they make house calls. :) Read Less
