Atm i cant remember the Vets name, however she was really great. She was professional, knowledgeable and courteous. Before treating my dog she explained what she was going to do and why it was needed, then she let me decide if I wanted to proceed. I would absolutely return next time I require a veterinarian.

Dr. Wendy has been caring for my cats Baby and Missy for several years. They stay with my mom while I work out west, the clinic has allowed me to have an account with them tied to my credit card so any time they need care or food my mom doesn't have to worry. Everything is direct billed to me and my girls are well taken care of. Wendy's approach with both of them ensure they are calm and well cared for.
After Baby's last surgery they had a staff meeting after and let Baby attend on the lap of a vet assistant so she wasn't left alone in a kennel while coming out of sedation. After having Missy spayed
