Dr. Mark & Dr. Dana Bergen Are the BEST vets I have EVER had the pleasure of dealing with. If you are looking for a compassionate, genuine, knowledgeable vet, with reasonable pricing, go there! We are so blessed to have them both in our area, and I know I am extremely grateful for them! I have had non stop health issues lately with my Maremma/Golden cross. He also is lucky enough to seem to get every bad reaction to medication. Dr. Mark Bergen not only cures him of his ailments, as he is so knowledgeable, but calls to check up on him! Recently we have had to put down our 16 yr old cat, and they

Never once did I feel rushed or that I was being fed incorrect information. After receiving the best care possible I went to pay for what I thought would be an expensive emergency visit and was pleasantly surprised with an extremely reasonable fee. I could not be more thankful
