These vets and Tech's are amazing with the animals. They love and care about each animal as if it were their own. They explain everything to you and will continue to explain the detailed treatment until you understand. You can see the passion and the care they have for each individual anima from the Vets to the receptionists. Amazing people, amazing service.

I was referred here after a previous vet refused to provide care for my dog. Never had a problem here. They are able to accommodate his needs wonderfully. He is anxious and requires some special attention (treats for distraction) which they are more than happy to provide. Very happy we switched vets.

Dr. Rourk is hands down the most amazing vet I've had the pleasure of entrusting with my beloved pets. Her open mindedness and ability to work with you is incredible and not something you encounter enough of in this industry. You will never be pushed out of your comfort zone and she is very open to discussions (for those like me with a background in animal care and an avid google researcher) which is important to me. I'd add another five stars just for the level of love and care she has for the animals who are so lucky to have her as their vet.

Great place if you are already a client, If not they are very rude. I have been helping a friend by driving her animals there so I figured I would give them a call to see about fixing my dogs. The lady I spoke to indicated they aren't taking new clients and to call another vet as she was hanging up on me.

The kindest animal hospital/clinic I have ever been to. Everyone was so kind and extremely knowledgeable. You can tell they truly care about your pet and will make sure they are comfortable. We brought Presley for an enucleation procedure last week and she has been recovering amazing. The hospital did an amazing job.
