Even though I live in Omaha, I will always drive the 45 minutes to Fremont to take my pets here.In Atlanta, my wife's cat got sick, and we took her to a 'vet' near our house. $400 in tests later we were told she would need a $5,000 surgery or $100 in pills every month. We called Animal Clinic Downtown, who used to treat the horses on my wife's farm, and they informed us that the people we took the cat to were obviously sham artists and pointed us to a much better (down to earth) vet it Atlanta where we got $15 checkups and a 3 month supply of meds for $20.Now that we have moved back it's nice to have a knowledgeable vet that doesn't try to cram every new, expensive, and unnecessary treatment down our throats while implying that we obviously don't love our pets if we won't pay $500/month on them for healthcare. Of course, when something is serious (like my dog eating a pin cushion), they are quick to action and always care about what's best for the animal.On top of being knowledgeable, all of the staff are very friendly and seem to genuinely enjoy working with animals. I love the fact that they all know me and my pets by name, despite the fact that we come in twice a year tops.The way I see it, humans have had pets for far longer than we have had vets, and we have done just fine. ACD's no-nonsense approach to veterinary medicine provides a wonderful balance of medical know-how, sensible treatment plans, and hometown charm. Read Less
