There was no wait and the front desk people are very nice, as are the vets with whom I interacted. There was a surgery of my dog in the hind region, and it healed up very well, so I am very pleased. I was happy with the price of that surgery: it compares favorably to other states and areas I lived. There's a super friendly cat in the waiting room, and if you let it, it'll sit on your lap and let you pet it. It's a social 'butterfly', but very laid back.

Our collie and cat typically see Dr. Audra Rickman, who we absolutely love. We have on occasion seen Dr. Marchetti and today saw Dr. Mitchell for our cat who we had concerns about. I am a registered nurse so I feel I have some knowledge about medical issues and I am so pleased with the care and concern shown by the vets and staff at Four Paws. I will never take my family members any where else! Thank You Four Paws for providing the very best care! :)

I have been very happy with this office and find that once you get an appointment and have your dog or cat as a patient it is much easier to get in whenever you have a sick pet. They have been very accommodating and always return phone calls quickly. My Golden retriever has lots of issues and Dr. Rickman has been excellent with her.
