My dog has had two ACL surgeries here, which occurred less than a year apart from each other. Dr. Matt performed both the surgeries and has done a wonderful job. Being on Social Security, they worked with me on the billing, something that many vets won't do. Today my dog is a happy healthy playful pup and is living pain free because of what the vet and staff have done for her. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you have done for me and my pup. Read Less

My family (4 generations) have taken our dogs, cats & a rat to this compassionate & caring group of pet lovers for over 30 years! There has changes in staff over the years, but everyone we've had the chance to meet have gone above & beyond in caring for our pet family members.

I have taken many animals there over several years. Now they see Dr, Luther and he takes time to answer my questions. One dog has a thyroid issue and after a long discussion we are in agreement that this 10 year old dog can live with a very low normal thyroid level. He is apparently sensitive to the med and with no other signs or problems we keep him on the low dose.
I appreciate the time that is taken - I rarely have trouble getting an appt. and since they are close to my home, I appreciate this also. Read Less

My boy dog was sick and they gave me a great deal on being seen but that's not even the best part! Based on symptoms, they suggested to bring him through a back emergency entrance for the safety of other dogs and NO other vet gave that option.
