I've been going to Hawthorne since they first opened up back in 1991.  I had another dog then who had a chronic illness so I spent a lot of time there over the years.    I have 2 new dogs now, and I've moved downtown, but I would never consider going anywhere else.  The staff there - Martha, Amy, Julie - are so friendly, kind and caring.  I do miss the doctors who started the practice, but it's been taken over by equally impressive doctors who are extremely knowledgeable.  They cost a little bit more than other vets, but it's worth it to me to have my pets seen by someone who has the experience and provides the top-level service they do.
