Dr. Koenig is kind and knowledgable, but be aware that the office is out of her home and isn't like a traditional vet's office. One of the things that was instantly off-putting was the cleanliness factor. The upholstery was old and dirty, there were cobwebs in the corners, and even used acupuncture needles on the table in the actual exam room. After vaccinating our cat, the needle tip was placed on the table too instead of disposed of immediately. Yikes! The room made me a bit uncomfortable, especially since it's clear that animals are sharing the "bed" which doubles as the exam table/acupuncture table. I told myself that certainly, it was washed between clients, but honestly, I'm not so sure, and I'm kicking myself for ignoring my gut. Not even 24 hours after the visit, my cat (who had never been outside of my home before) started scratching what I thought was incessantly. 4 days later I found fleas. Friends subsequently told me that when you take your animal to a country vet, it's probable you will bring fleas home. Trust me, if I had known, we never would have gone. I was nervous about the traditional vaccination schedule, but at the end of the day, I paid over $100 to bring fleas into my home which required nearly $300 worth of follow-up treatment. Not to mention the washing, vacuuming, and anxiety that has come along with the issue. It wasn't worth it.
So to recap:
Knowledgeable and kind vet
Dirty office
Cat brought home fleas
We won't be going back.
