Another family affair is GRAH. My mom worked here as a tech until I was born, and we've never gone to another vet.Dr. Earl Kittle and his staff, simply put, are the most beautiful bunch of people on the face of this earth. Your pets are in fantastic hands, and so are you. All my friends who go to other vets are always stunned when I tell them how gracious everyone is, and how they will do everything they can to ensure a pet has an excellent quality of life. It's a courtesy that's extended to everyone, which you'll find out if you talk to other pet owners. There are people who, like my family, have never gone to another vet since the clinic opened decades ago.I will say this: if you have a cat, request Dr. Earl Kittle, his son Dr. Lee Kittle, or Dr. Rader. They're all phenomenal with cats, especially shy/timid ones. We took my girlfriend's cat to GRAH for the first time last month for his yearly physical and vaccinations. This cat is so painfully shy around strangers - he never acts out, he just cowers and tries to hide - but he actually allowed Dr. Earl to perform the checkup without making any serious attempts to get away. Dr. Lee and Dr. Rader are the same way - they talk quietly and they move with the cats, rather than against them. Everyone on staff is great with dogs, and the assistants and techs know their stuff.Putting a pet down is heartbreaking when you're an owner. If you're a regular and the staff knows your pet(s), it breaks their hearts, too. I had to put my Siamese down in 2007 after Dr. Earl and his staff did everything they could do figure out what was wrong with him (he had an inoperable brain tumor). The staff had gotten to know my cat very well during his 11 years of life, and they were all devastated. They not only told me I could have my kitty cremated, they sent me a lovely card that everyone signed. They not only care about our furry friends, they care about their human caretakers, too. Again, beautiful people.Setting up appointments is the easiest thing in the world, and they can get you in the same day if you need it and there's room on the schedule. We have never had a scheduling issue. They keep fantastic records and with new patients, they will go over your pet's medical history with you and work out treatment options if your pet has a chronic illness. I know I said it already, but they will do everything they can to ensure that your pet is happy and healthy.Vets are expensive, but shopping around does reveal that GRAH is one of the cheapest out there. Great veterinary care for significantly less than what you'd pay pretty much everywhere else.I am really going to miss this place when I move out of state. GRAH is more than "the vet." They're family. Read Less
