Had a very good first experience here with my cat. Doctor gave multiple suggestions for solutions to the particular problems we are having with our cat. Came up with a good plan of attack to tackle the issues in a step by step process. Took his time with our visit and handled our cat well. I also like how this clinic has individual examination rooms with doors to directly outside. This is great for not having animals mix it up with eachother in a common greeting arena. As we know, sometimes some animals can be more active and curious then what the situation may call for.

The best veterinarian we have ever had! We moved away and still come here because no other vet in a 200km radius can come close to the quality and service we get from here. Hands down the best, thank you for all you have done for Sophie and Newman! Its worth the drive to have this piece of mind.
