I have been dealing with the folks at Flat River for years dating back to when they were at Quail Roost. From the time you call and speak with Tammy till someone arrives at your house you'll be impressed by your experience. Dr's Heron and Sink are exceptional. They will advise you using their vast experience to manage your animals care. They are patient with you and your animals. Over the years we've had some fairly adventurous episodes with our cows, but not once did they ever show any displeasure. One never looks forward to having problems with their large animals, but if it happens and it will. It's always a pleasant experience. Like visiting with family. Wouldn't consider using anyone else for my cows. Truly a lovely, professional practice. You can't go wrong with this group. Read Less

Flat River has been my horse vet since I moved to Durham in 2000. You can't ask for better down-to-earth care delivered with compassion. I met Emily for the first time today when Dancer (aka Drama King) got loose and ended up with a small puncture wound. Dance thought the wound qualified for 3-legged lameness. *rolleyes*. Emily did a great job checking him out, cleaning the would and setting my mind at ease. Thanks Doc Heron and Emily!! Read Less

I've known Dr. Heron for decades and he's saved the lives of several horses here on our farm. He and his staff are so competent, knowledgeable, and caring. He can troubleshoot by seeing something in what appears to be a minor condition and by taking preventitive steps, a life can be saved. The hospital is immaculate. Can't imagine life without Flat River Vet. Read Less
