Love the staff!  Each member of this team cares for my fur babies as if they're their own.  My Danes love going to "camp" whenever we have to go out of town.  I appreciate the no nonsense approach to animal medicine and I have had the most interesting conversations with Dr B regarding the latest developments in this specialty.  I highly recommend Patterson Veterinary Hospital.

Get your quote in writing before you have your pet seen, especially if you are a female.  And not the level of expertise or professionalism I am use to.

Just wanted to thank the delightful staff at Patterson Veterinary Hospital for how OUTSTANDING they were with my difficult case. From the very first phone call they were the most helpful, caring, respectful, kind, down to earth people I have ever met in a business. They have stolen my heart. ALL animals deserve the care that these people give. AND THEY ARE CAVY SAVY!!! (they will see guinea pigs!) I called at least 20 vets that do not deal with guinea pig, and wouldn't help me with my emergency case. She may have been able to be saved had she been seen sooner. I will be driving the 45 minutes it takes to go here for ALL of my animals from now on. This is an absolutely phenomenal vet! Read Less

Wanted to give a big shout out to Patterson Veterinary Hospital. A sweet stray cat made his way in the back door of our church thrift store while unloading items. He was very thin and wouldn't eat. After a whole day of trying to find a home for him, we decided to have him checked out by a vet. I walked in without an appointment and was seen right away. The doctor waived his exam fee, as we are a non-profit and the doctor wanted to do what was best for the kitty. Unfortunately, the cat was in the final stages of kidney failure and had to be put down. It was very sad, but made better by their kindness. I highly recommend Patterson Veterinary. They handled the situation with compassion and generosity. I now plan to bring my pets there. Read Less

Not only did my CAT GET FLEAS from this place they also tried to charge me 300 dollars over the estimate. I had to talk to them quite a few times until they lowered it but would not match there estimate. Dr Bayer claimed he didn't want to "lose money" but honestly he was over charging anyways. Nothing iritates me more then when I'm over charged. Stick to your initial price or tell me ahead of time the price is different. I picked this place for distance reasons and I will never to that again. I believe they noticed I was young and tried to in my words entrap me into more money. What a joke. I'd go somewhere else If I were you. Read Less
