Dr. Wilkin is an incredible vet. A day I was dreading turned into a beautiful experience with her coming to our home to help my Zakariah cross the Rainbow Bridge. She made all of us feel at peace, and she was in no rush. She sat with us and talked about happy memories, and was very calm in explaining the process. I couldn't have asked for a better passing for my baby. I highly recommend using her services if you are especially attached to your fur baby. I love you Zakariah forever and always. Read Less

My Arabian gelding came up lame from a witnessed altercation with another horse. I saw it happen, or so I thought! I feared joint damage, doom and gloom! But, after a thorough examination, xrays and a nerve block, an abcess was found! Dr Heistercamp did a very complete exam, and was great with Mocha. Thank you so much for your great vet care and sleuthing skills! Read Less

My big gelding came up lame, I was out of town, had some wonderful friends trailer him to the clinic. They worked him to their busy schedule to find a large abcess that they treated. They are so kind, accommodated our needs and was very reasonable. They even checked up on him a few days later! They are awesome! Read Less

They've done eye surgery on 2 of our geldings. One was an eye injury, the other was a squamous cell carcinoma. Both geldings are doing great! We couldn't be happier. :)
