Had to switch to this vet since mine became overloaded with appointments and couldn't book me within the next two months. Service was professional and courteous. I was listed all the options and prices regarding the treatment my dog needed and was in no way pressured to get the most expensive option. Will go back without a doubt.

Very great experience today with Dr. Paine and staff at the clinic. I had a puppy with a shoulder injury that needed to be seen and was unable to get into my regular veterinarian. They were more than accommodating, very professional and honest. Didn't try to talk me into any unnecessary treatment options and were very respectful and caring. I am beyond impressed with the service we received and now have our beautiful baby comfortable and on the road to recovery. Highly recommend.

It was great. Although I don't agree with you not being able to go in with your pet. They are one of the family. Would you let a child go to a doctor's appointment alone?

I was referred to this location as my regular Cataraqui location was booked up, they were very helpful and thorough. Dr. Payne was very kind and empathetic. While we still can't go in to the office, I feel like my cat was in very good hands, he's feeling much better
